—_~ — Special to the Post-Dispatch. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., Aug. 14.—One- half of the Devil's Backbone, the rocky fortress of the Hatfields in the mountains on Tug River, was shattered by dynamite to-day and Hatfield and his men were driven from their stronghold by Shenff Keadle and his men after a desperate bat- tle. Several of the Sheriff's men are bad- ly wounded and the Hatflelds are still free. Only this has been accomplished—that the rocky crest where the Hatflelds have for years defied the law and from which they have carried out their bloody plans is no longer a tenable fortress. As it grew later men were posted and the Sheriff held a consultation with McCoy and his subordinates. McCoy would have at- tempted to storm the fastness, but cooler men ruled, and it was determined to starve Hatfleld inte. surrender. Thursday night and Friday morning there was a skirmish. At noon a large body of men came, led by J. H. Baldwin. Baldwin is well-known as a capturer of a brother of Hatfield's, who was hanged almost eight years ag6. There is no more perfect marks- man in the South than he and his courage never was daunted. He at once took the ead, Two men were sent to Willlamson for dynamite and the besiegers sat down to wait. All day Friday and Friday night the closest watch was kept. At 9 o'clock this morning the dynamite arrived and by ll the dynamite was placed. The fuse was laid, the match was applied and the at- tacking force began to fall back. Until now the besleged seemed not to sus- pect what was being done, but with the flashing of the train which led to the dyna- mite all realization of their awful peril came. Men jumped from cover and rushed hither and thither in full view. Hatfleld was seen to start for the path heedless of a shower of bullets. A rush was made down the side of the mountain. Three men dropped wounded. It was use- less to try to escape by the well-known ) path and the desperadoes returned to top of their rocky fort, Hatfleld directing were hurled over them. jreat bowlders the rocks in hopes of breaking the fuse. Then came the explosion. It seunded ag though the mountains were splitting. Pieces of rock and trees flew in every direction, When the smoke cleared, it was seen that more than half of “‘Devil’s Backbone” was blown down the mountain. . The first charge had spent itself. Hatfield and his men seemed unharmed. Dan Lewis, Steve Stanley and Jake Monroe, who pre- sumed in the excitement to leave sheiter, were shot and are not expected to recover. Another charge of dynamite was trained, but tt was impossible to even see the place The advance over last year’s prices| has already been considerable.

The advance in the price of corn over last year is more than $ ofmrs a bushel, and on igst years crop would amount to about $85,000,000.

Sud- /denly from up the valley on the flank of Baldwin’a party the crack of a rifle spoke. Again Hatfield had foiled his pursuers. The smoke from the explosion that was intended to destroy had saved him. Un- der its cover he and his men had «escaped. The chase was renewed, and hampered aa he is by his wounds, Hatfield's capture within twenty-four hours must follow. Hatfield. with the aid of a hatchet, cut his way through the walls, eighteen inches, thick, of the Mingo County Jail on July 27. While the hatchet was yet warm the town was awakened and in arms. Before day- sult with the dogs. Fy noon the entire county was aroused, and the sturdy citi- zens poured into the county seat and offered their services to bring to justice the man ho was defying the authorities in three States. On Wednesday, the Sheriff, with twenty- five men, took to the mountains. The scene was like the descriptions which portray the days of ‘61 e quiet town of Williamson was alive.

Within three hours after the departure of this band, old “Ran McCoy, who | the McCoy forces in the notorious McCoy- Hatfleld fight, came into Williamson. Ten years ago three of his children were burned to the stake by the Hatflelds, and the fires then lighted never ceased to flame in the as ers At daybreak with the Sheriff in command, the line of march was resumed, heading. dl- rectly for the old Palisade. Cautiously the men advanced, keeping under cover as much hen about a quarter of a the hut the first «lim was caught of Hatfield and his men.

The sight of Hatfield seemed to set old McCoy on fire. With his men he forged ahead of the others. He seemed to know Hatfield's destination, @ memory of his dead children came be- fore his eyes.

NEW YORK, Aug. l4.—Bellevue Hospital has a sensation in the “scarlet baby’’ a day old. Its head, hands and feet are of so bright a scarlet that they startled the house sur- geons and nurses. They could not explain nied by Miss Ex “ bw whether the color was birthmarking and/ ®Urse in the Hebrew Hospita would bleach or some strange inherent mal- ady. The baby’s name is Joseph Buchler. Its mother is Mrs. Augusta Buchler, a light the Sheriff and his men were in pur- conditions, and Hatfleld may y | A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE healthy German woman of the middle class. After a consultation of the staff physicians | it was decided that the baby was suffering | h a valvular disease of the! Station and from cyanosis, heart, but that does not account for its scar- let color. Dr. Boynton, who is in charge of Marquand ward, said to-day: “This infant may live and the color dls- appear..I am unable to say what strange markings mean or to determne the possible effect on the health of the child.” “While we gazed and wondered at the baby,” said ne father, “the scarlet seemed some brighter.”’ tO, Bellevue is the safest place for it,’ I said to my wife, and to Bellevue we brought the little chap.” BRYAN GIVEN AN OVATION.

Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 4.—Fred Slater of Niagara Falls, N. Y., came to Cleveland two weeks ago to-day to visit his uncle, T. PD. Slater. The young man was accompa- ina Mitchell of Toronto, @ at Cincin- nati. The couple were met at the boat by the uncle and were taken to his home. They remained only untll afternoon, when Misa Mitchell said she must resume her journey to Cincinnat!. Young Slater and is uncle accompanied her to the railway after the departure of her train they walked about the city. In the evening Mr. Slater went with Fred to the Buffalo boat wharf and after the young man had gone aboard Mr. Slater returned home. “From that time all trace of young Slater was lost. Seemingly further mys- tery was added to the case last night by the receipt of information from Clncin- nat! that Mise Mitchell had committed sul. cide by poiron at the hospital where she was employed. What connection there ts between the dieappearance of Slater and the suicide of Miss Mitchell, if any, is not apparent at this time. The young wom. an was a friend of Slater's family at Nia- gara Falls. She stopped to visit them on her way back from Toronto and when she was ready to resume her journey Fred be. thought himself of his uncle here and «al@ he would accompany her this far on her trip. That is how they happened to be together here. It is not thought they were lovers. The cause of Miss Mitchell's sul- cide is as much a mystery as le the young man’s disappearance. THEY DIDN'T HAVE LAMPS, Bicycle Riders Collided in Forest Park and Got Hurt. Hubert Canley. 318 North Commercial street. and Will'am A. Hanlon, 1214 Prairte avenue, went to Forest Park last night on their wheels. They 4i4 not carry lights. While ctrundiing along at a rapid pace ia opposite directions north of the cottage, there was a coll'sion. Roth riders were thrown to the ground. One of Hanion’s front teeth was knocked out and he war painfully bruised about the serious injury. Bete P —_ oe At iia os ~—* ~ ewe

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 15, 1897. HONEYMOON ~ DISTURBED, Mrs. James B. Merrison Fled to the Four Courts to Es- cape From Her Husband. HUNTING HER WITH A KNIFE. HIS JEALOUSY AROUSED TO FRENZY ON DISCOVERING ANOTHER MAN’S NOTE. FROM SOMEBODY'S “JACK.” The Woman Protests Her Irnocence and Is Afraid to Return to Her Chouteau Avenues Apartments. A bride. just out of honeymoon, seeking police protection from the wrath of a jeal- ous husband. This anomaly was revealed at the Four Courts yesterday afternoon. Mrs. James B. Morrison of 1313 Chouteau avenue related a startling story of domestic unhappiness to the City Attorney. Al- though a buxom dame, apparently in ro- bust health, Mrs. Morrison trembled like a palsied invalid asa she related the harrow- ing details of her woe. “I’m so afraid my husband will find me!” she exclaimed. ““‘He is in a rage and there is no telling what might happen.” The Morrisons were married about ten months ago. Their trouble commenced early. It gradually grew worse. A few months since thera was a separation—fol- lowed by tears of joy and reconciliation. Then another outbreak, then another and another. Yesterday morning the crisis came. Mrs. Morrison received a note signed “Your friend, Jack.’ In substance, the | _ wanted to make an engagement with ea er. ° The missive was delivered by an un- known negro. The already jealous husband saw it. e grabbed the note and read it. Then his jealousy became intense. He was frenzied. An explanation was demanded. The wife could not give it—said she did not know the identity of the writer. The husband sus- pected much in a short space of time. Half orazed grabbed a butcher-knife and wildly ran out upon the street declar- u Eat he would find the mysterious ee ac ve While he was absent, Mrs. Morrison, thoroughly terrified, decided to hide. She locked herself in another room at the lodg- ing ‘house where ehe has apartments. Pres- ently her husband returned. His page had Bot subsided. Vainly he searched for his wife. As he hunted he hurled curses in every direction. Finally, after creating a wild soene and arousing all the dwellers in the block, so ft is alleged, he again went away. 7 Cautiously the frightened woman ventured out. Beeing the coast clear, she hastened to the Four urts. After relating her story the City Attorney issued a police summons, which means that Morrison must appear in Judge Pea- body’s court to anewer the charge of dis- turbing the peace. Mrs. Mo on said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that she was rene innocent of any in connection th the note . from a ack.’ She had no idea as to Jack’s"’ identity and could not under- stand why she should receive such a note. As she talked the teare streamed down her cheeks and her attitude was that of an in- nocent woman, She is veg wet d for the statement that her husband left her a few months ago and went to Colorado, saying he would never again live with her. e returned, howevei, and sa'd he was only jesting. He has iven me but $ since we were married 4 rs. Morrison eobbed, ‘‘but don’t mind that so much if he would only be good to me in other respects.”’ When Mrs. Morrison left the Four Courts she did not return to her Chouteau avenue apartments. She feared her husband would Gnd her. She sought safety. at the home ef a friend on Fourteenth street. When a reporter called at the Chouteau avenue place the keeper of the house said: You will not find Mrs. Morrison here to-night.

MANY PERSONS EXPECTED TO THE FEUD AT FEVER HEAT. Different Phases of the Trouble Be- Without the use of words Judge Peabody demonstrated emphatically yesterday that The Magistrate who rules over the First District Police Court had no sooner taken his seat than he drew a revolver from his pocket. It was double-action, of the most approved pattern, and every chamber loaded. He looked at it carefully, then placed it on the desk, throwing the cover of the court docket over the weapon 40 front, but of easy access, and in plain sight A glance at the docket explained the pre- cautions. One of the cases set for trial was Kelly’s attorney is Jeff Storts, between whom and Peabody there is an enmity than but the finale— Plan to Reorganize the Upper Chamber to Suit the Anti-Filleyites. The Municipal Assembly is in revolt against the Filley-Ziegenhein machine. The revolution which took place in the House of Delegates Friday night has extended to the Council. According to a well-developed rumor at the City Hall yesterday afternoon the Council is to be reorganized when it meets next Tuesday at 5 p. m. Not exactly the same influences are at work in the Council as operated so drasti- cally in the House, but if the reorganiza- tion is brought about it will be quite as dis- tasteful in a personal sense to Filley and Ziegenhein as were the official changes in the House. President Meler’s position is safe. He was elected to it by the people. But he is the only official in the body who its safe. William M. Horton is the Vice-President, and Mr. Horton is one of the four who has thrown so many obstacles in the way of the North and South Railroad bill. He has been extremely active in that regard. Then, too, Prof. Halsey Ives is chairman of the Railroad Committee and along with him is Charles Wiggins. These two and Mr. Horton, with President Meler, have been obstructionists to many well-laid plans. The purpoee is to oust Mr. Horton and put George P. Heckel in his stead, and then to change the rules so that the committees }can be packed despite the fact that Presi- dent Meter has the appointment of them, for instead of the usual number, three, the important committees, such as Ways and Means, Public Improvements and Rail- roads, would be increased to five members, and the number to choose from is so lim- ited the President would have to add two of the opposition. The committees are one incentive, but the most tempting bait is the secretaryship. The man whose scalp the reorganizers are after ts Charles R. Graves, secretary. For years he has been a factotum of Chaun.- cey I. Filley, and as an alert politician did yeoman service for Mayor Ziegenhein in last spring’s campaign. The man who is slated to succeed Graves is William R, Hosmer, ex-Secretary of the Council, who was defeated by Graves. Mr. Hosmer claims to have s!x members pledged to him, but will give no names, Hosmer is well known as a politician and put in a great deal of hard work for Stark- loff as against Ziegenhein. He was marked for slaughter when the Ziegenhein regime took hold, has been out a job since and has been laying his plang to get back the one Graves wrested from him. The six votes he is said to have pledged to him are: Heckel, Brinkmeyer, Hagan, Kratz, Gast and Gaus. He only needs one more. There are two men, either of which will fill the bill, Thuner or Uthoff, and the pressure is being brought to bear on Thuner., He is young and ambitious, and was Heck- el’s readiest assistant floor manager in the North and South Railroad fight. Members supposed to be in the combine are reticent, and those who are not in it are ignorant of the pitfall being laid for them. The opponents of the scheme to reorgan- ize lay all the blame on Hosmer and Heckel, and declare that the plot will fail. THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY IN REVOLT, —_—— Pea Secretary Adam Ziegenhein Serves a Lively Notice on Delegate Judy. Mayor Ziegenhein will not discuse the rough-and-tumble manner in which he was turned down by the House of Delegates Friday. He is so sore over his defeat and the unseating of Lioyd from the Speaker- ship that all of his good humor has de- serted him. The only thing he will gay ts that, al- though knocked down in the first round, he ts still in the ring. Those who are usually authorized to voice his sentiments are bitter in their denun- ciation of the rebellious members in the House. They declare that there will be no com- promise with the men who humiliated the Mayor, and that all of their patronage will be cut off. The most significant expression along this line was that of Adam Ziegenhein, the Mayor’s son and Secretary, to Alderman Judy. Adam said to Judy: “You fellows will have to crawl on your knees to the Mayor's office and ask for- givenes@ before you can square yourselves.” Judy resented this by replying to Adam that his father was a beggar before the election for votes, and that he was now itrying to run the whole government in the interest of a few big contractors. Speaker Lehman said yesterday that he would appoint his committees Tuesday, and that there would be few changes. The Speaker paid his respects to the Mayor in outlining the course he will pursue in the chair. “Tl wish it distinctly understood,”’. said Mr. Lehmann, “that I am not an obstruc- tionist and the men who elected me Speaker are not obstructionists. I've been in the Assembly fourteen years, and my record shows that I am in favor of public improve- ments, but I wish Mr. Ziegenhein and the public, too, to bear in mind that I am not in favor of cribbing the work and letting it to a clique of contractors. I am not in favor of paving streets with only one kind of brick made by a special friend. “To save your life you can't get but one kind of brick recommended by the Board of Public Improvements. This is the largest brick-making city in the Union. I would give all these enterprising firms a chance, and at the same time I dare say the city would get a better class of material.- No, I won’t go into details just now on this sub- ject, but the exposure is coming. “More than that, this is the first time in the city’s history we have ever had a Mayor who has undertaken to dictate and brow- beat Assemblymen into doing his will. That is one of his plans. Another is if members do his bidding they can get what they want in the way of patronage. “The Mayor didn't vote for me. I voted for him and he was awfully anxious that I and all my constituents should do so. I am responsible to them, not to him. I am in favor of improving the whole city, and not spending the people’s money in spots, and I say that the House, instead o > this score ,will be posing the Mayor on found abreast of him, but we will play no favorites. ‘All of the people pay taxes and they should receive impartial treatment. ‘There is no sense in any frict'on between the House. as newly organized, and the Mayor, and if there are differences they will be of his making, not mine or my sup- porters. ‘But he may as well understand once for all that his bulldozing tactics won't win with the present majority in the House.”’ ME)» ONT Boe: mil ; r ~ | ey, Bwite Wt UU sd a —— Blinded by Working by Electric Light Fou Lizzie McClellan, 14 years old, will prob- ably be blind for life because of toiling fourteen hours a day with an electric light | brothers and about !

BEING REFUSED, THEY QUIT. When Their Places Are Filled They Threaten the New Men With Violence. There ts a strike on at the Missouri Car and Foundry Co., De Kalb and Barton Streets. Thirty men have quit work and are preparing to resist the fMiltng of their places. At noon yesterday the first hostile demon- Stration on the part of the strikers oc- curred. Of the twenty-one who left in the morning, seven returned to the works. They had been up town drinking and were in an ugly mood. One had a revolver, and this he flour- ished in view of the office force to give emphas's to the treatening talk of his com- anions. The fact that their places had een filled did not serve to cool their wrath. Finally three of them, bolder than the rest, entered the wheel shop. Going up to the mew men they ordered them to quit work. Their request was refused. “Very well, we'll lay for you when you come to work Monday morning,” said one young fellow, working his brawny right arm significantly. An inkling of what was going on: reached Foreman Marks Kelly at this time and he ordered the young men from the place. They complied, with poor grace, promising the official a settlement of old scores. Fearing an attack, Capt. Pickel was notl- fied and Patrolmen Strong, Wells and Alex- ander were dispatched to the scene. The three ye ay were found in a nearby saloon; their companions had gone. They kept up their bellicose talk to the officers and were loaded into the patrol wagon and sent to the Second District Sta- tion. There they gave their names as Philip A. Buettner, 2840 Missouri avenue; John Thuett, 622 Lynch street, and Edward Suesz- dorf, 2728 South Tenth street. Beyond stating they did not get enough money, they would offer no explanation of their conduct. They| cursed the lice and reporters whenever approached. ter they were’ hailed out. A charge of disturbing the peace was en- tered against them and they will be sent to Judge Zimmerman’s court. At the foundry a sweeping denial of any trouble with the men|was made. Foreman Kelly, at whose instigation the men were arrested, refused to| admit the part he played. } i THE AMERICAN PARTY. Platform Which Will Be Adopted at the St. Louis Convention.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 14.—The predic- tion that there would be misery and suf- fering on Dyea and Skagua Passes, Alas- ka, is fast becoming a stern reality. W. H. Ewing, who went on the Rosalie, writes as follows from Skagua: “We have just arrived here, the city of tents. The wharf, which is at the base of a mountain of rock columns, is 800 square feet.. There is no warehouse. The trail which leads te the city from the wharf has been hewn out of this mountain of rocks.

In order to reach the trail the horse would have to jump ten feet down. The steamer Edith, with seventy horses, is now anchored out a mile from shore.

They returned to Juneau, enlarged their outfit and will go over the Dyea trail. Men are needed to pack on these trails, not horses. Horses get along until they reach the summit, then qa man has to pack his own outfit or sell it. At Juneau a great many positions are vacant, but in a month the town will be filed with men'who have failed to get across the pass. I cannot see how the men who are leaving here now can expect to get across the tratil to Lake Bonnet in time to make the trip down the river. NO UNUSUAL REGULATIONS.

No special or unusua] regulations were made. On the contrary the instructions sent were to ex- empt miners’ blankets, personal clothing in use and broken packages of provisions being used; also cooking utensils in use. To make food allowance, clear instruc- tions have been given for the season to the customs officers at Tagish to exempt 100 pounds of food for the journey, charg- ing ordinary customs duties only on on excess. | KILLED HIM WITH A BRICK.

NHW HAVDPN, Conn., Aug. 14.—The the- ory is advanced by Prof. C.C. Marsh of Yale that Japan is the home of the coming race, a péople who are destined to supplant the Caucasian as the dominant people of the earth. Prof. Marsh is a prominent member of the United States Geological Survey. He has been making a series of interesting comparisons between the brains of fossil and modern animals which give a new turn to the theory of the “survival of the fit- test.’”’ It has always been a popular notion that when the old phrase of the “‘weakest going to the wall’ was uttered, lac kof brawn, not bain, was meant. But it seems now that the latter conception of the phrase would more aptly fit geological conditions. In an interview Prof. Marsh said that the conclusions he had reached were the re- sult of twenty years’ study. Almost from SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 15, 1897, k, between the brains of fossils and those of living ®nimals of related species, and soon he was able to formulate as a gen- eral law the striking statement that all tertiary mammals had small brains. Thus in the final turning of the scale it is seen an ounce of brain matter in a small animal outweighed the tons of bone and muscle with which the larger animal was encumbered. Inthe reptile stage some of them were massive beyond any creature that has since existed on the globe. The modern reptile has none too full a supply of brain, but as compared with the ancient type he is an in- tellectual giant. At last came man, with the best brain of all, and then it was only a matter of time until all creatures that remained on the globe should be subordinate to this new conqueror. Prof. Marsh says: ‘‘Man him- self did not come into this realm at a bound JAPANESE THE (omM] the first he was struck with the difference /any more than one phalanx after another of his forbears had routed their competitors at a single blow. “The earliest fossil that can lay claim to recognition as one of our own clan is the ape man, which was discovered in the rocks of Java. This creature lived back in the tertiary time, some of his contemporaries being great beasts. But he had a larger brain than any creature of the period, and so his destiny was sure, yet his brain was only half the size of that of the modern man, “Thousands of years ago man gained this supremacy and ceased to have any com- petitor except his fellow man. But not all races of his species have come ahead at the same rate. As every one knows, there is to- day a wide gap between the intellectual status of the European and the native Aus- tralian, and this intellectual gap is ex- ence of the two races. The biggest brained race of men seem to outmatqh the small brained race. As a general ee this admits of no question, and carries with it, to most of us, a feeling of satisfied egotism, for every one is aware that the Caucasian race is a large brained race. “According to statistics that) seem relia- ble, the average weight of the Japanese ‘brain is greater than that of any other race. “Does this mean that the Japanese are the people of the future? Is the scepter of authority destined to be grasped by a hand guided by a brain larger than ithat of the Caucasian? If history is to repeat itself as it has a million times over guch would seem to be the outlook, if it b that the Japanese has the largest brain in the world to-day. The bi br n has won at every stage of the world’s story. and there is no apparent reason Why it should not continue to win in the future.

Senator Mark Hanna and Dr. John Grant, Repub- lican National Committeernan from Texas, have had a rew. } The details have heen carefully sup- pressed by the parties interested, but it is said here that unless Dr. Grant can make peace with the junior Senator from Ohio, he will be turned down when the President takes up the big Texas offices, The trouble between Grant and Hanna is said to have grown out of a difference of opinion as to how the Republican National Committee should dispose of the large surplus fund left from the McKinley campaign. Senator Hanna, it is understood, wanted to use the entire sum in Ohio this fall to insure his carrying the State and being re- turned to the Senate. Dr. Grant, who is a member of the Na- tional Committee, is said to have objected to spending such a large sum in one State, whereupon the Senator from Oh!‘o, who is also Chairman of the National Committee, declared war upon Grant, and told him if he did not fal) into line for the Ohio cam- paign he would have all the Texas patron- age turned over to his party rival, young Edidie Green, who is now at the head of the Republican State Committee of Texas. Dr. Grant refused to be bulldozed in this Way and he hae not yet given in to the im- perious chairman, Hanna.

REFUSED A PEERAGE, SIR ISAAC HOLDEN, WHO BEGAN AS A POOR BOY, DIED WORTH MANY MILLION POUNDS. INVENTED LUCIFER MATCHES. England Suspected of Being in a Con- spiracy With the Turks to Get Hold of Suda Bay. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1897. LONDON, Aug. 14.—One of the most re- markable of the English self-made men of the century, Sir Isaac Holden, son of a miner, is dead. He began life as a weaver's boy, educated himself and became a school- master and then a bookkeeper in a tweed mill. He invented first a wool-combing ma- chine which made his fortune at 40. He also invented the lucifer match, but this idea he did not patent. When protective tariffs abroad injured the Bradford woolen trade he opened mills at Calais, Rheims and Lille, where younger branches of his family have since made fortunes. He lived to be %) years old, though a man of extremely delicate constitution, He attributed his long life to his spare diet, which consisted mainly of fruit and vegetables. He has strawberries on his breakfast table all the year round, his one extravagance béing his expenditure on the cultivation of fruit. He was a little man of emaciated figure, but great nervous energy, controlling all his un- dertakings himself. - He accepted a baro- netcy from Mr. Gladstone, whose policy he supported for many years in Parliament, but he refused a peerage. He is said to have died a millionaire. A correspondent at Constantinople, inti- mately acquainted with the inside facts concerning the aims of European d plomacy — eays in a letter received th's morn- ng: “IT am certain we are nearing a big crash here. The Turks have not the faintest intention of abandoning either Crete or Thessaly, and Rugsia has not the slightest intent'on of leaving them there. “The English Government ‘s playing a very tricky game just now. Their one ob- ject is to get a permanent hold of Suda Bay in Crete as a naval station, and they are quite ready to etrike a dirty bargain with the Turks to the complete sacrifice of the Christian and Greek populat’ons if only that object can be attained. I know this to be the idea of Col. Chermside, who is in com- mand in Crete, and he is an exceptionally clever man and just the one to carry such a scheme through to the end.”’ Nothing of this intrigue has been pub- lished here, but it accords* well with Lord Salisbury’s equivocal proceed'ngs in connection with the Greco-Cretan im- recently ! 7 Criminal THERE ARE 10-D —_g——_—__—_— MISSOURI’S PRINCE OF BIG- AMISTS HAS TEN WIVES UP.TO DATE. HIS NAME IS ALBERT KNEELAND Special to the Post-Dispatch. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Aug. 14.—Four more of Albert Kneeland’s wives have been found, making ten in all. Kneeland is in jail on a charge of bigamy, and seven of his wives have been found since he was ar- rested. At the time of his arrest it was not known that he had more than two wives. Kneeland was first married in 1867 to Eligabeth Clarke at Columbus, O. His first wife is still living and their two children are living In Columbus now. Their daugh- ter is Mrs. May Miller, the wife of a re- spectable citizen. Julia Browne of Zanesville, 0., was mar- riled to Kneeland in 1879, but he left her in a short time and went to Illinois. How many wives he married in the meantime may never be known, but it is found that he was married at Jacksonville in 1881 to Nellie McConnell. She discovered that he had already been married and had him ar- rested. Kneeland served a term in the penitentiary at Joliet for that offenee. His next marriage was in lowa. He mar- ried a young woman whose name is un- known at Eureka, and another one at Da- venport. A few months later he was mar- ried again at Brunswick, Mo., to Sarah Lester, and still later.to another girl at Butler, Mo. Again he was married to an- other woman, Sadie Davis of Columbus, Kan. She had him arrested for marrying too many times and he was sent to the penitentiary five years, Kneeland had lived with Orena Hull as early as 1884, and is said to have been mar- ried to har, but of course the marriage was illegal, as he had not been divorced from his first wife. He went back to her again and in 1894 was remarried. Orma Kneeland learned that he hada living wife, and Knee- land secured in St. Louis a divorce from his first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Kneeland of Columbus, O..

He has a iong, sallow face, shifty eyes of a nondescript color, and a wide, sprawling mouth that is filled with a very sorry, misfit collection of gnarled and blackened teeth, These details would be of no particular interest were it not for the fact that Mr. Bates holds the fecord for captivating women and marrying them. He has six wives now living who are definitely known and located. The number who are not known is speculative.

Massachusetts is not to be outdone, even In the matter of bigamists, by any State of the wild and woolly West. She has a bigamist of her own. More than that, he is a one-armed biga- mist, but he is a thoroughbred. Early in life he was recognized as a emooth young blade, and he was in the Svengali business on h's own account long before|Du Mau- rier’s character was heard of. He invari- ably went forth to conquer when he went forth at all, but he didn’t employ a brass band or anything like that to herald his approach, and for many years he had all kinds of fun with himself without being discovered. He served through the civil war on the Union side, but his devotion to Mars did not interrupt his worship at the shrine of Venus. In fact, he seems to have adopted for. the motto of his existence the words of Robert Burns: “I'd rather far give life to one Than be the death of twenty.”’ The name of this enterprising citizen is William H, Whiting. He is 5 years of age, and for nineteen years has been a messen- ger in the State Legislature. For two years he has maintained four separate house- holds in the State of Massachusetts, each with an attrac.ive woman at its head. The four women knew the man’s story, but not one of them has evinced any desire to enter a complaint against him, They seem to believe in letting well enough alone. Were they to have their way about the matter, he would doubtless keep on running his four households indefinitely. Of course this is all very pleasing to Mr. Whiting and without much boasting he is entitled to call himself the champion in his line, for he is indeed a very smooth mark.

IT IS AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT. Mr. Hamlin Claims That the Ten Per Cent Discriminating Tax Does Not Apply in the Case, WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—Attorney General McKenna to-day gave a hearing to parties interested in the question involved in section 22 of the new tariff act. Some days ago the Secretary of the Treasury received information from the Collector of Customs at Chicago that a large invoice of teas and other goods from Japan had been r@ceived at that port over a Canadian railroad, and asking whether the 10 per cent discriminating duty provided for in section 22 applied to these goods. The question was at once referred to the Attor- ney General for an opinion. At the request of the Boston & Maine Railroad Co., how- ever, the Attorney General decided to give a hearing to-day to persons interested. For- mer Secretary Carlisle appeared for the Boston & Maine Railroad Co. and former Assistant Secretary Hamlin represented the Associated Board of Trade and the Merchants’ Association of Boston. Hamlin was the first epeaker. The queston, he said, was whether goods shipped from China or Japan te points in the United States through Canada were im- portations from Canada within the mean- ing of the statute. In the case of a trans- action, for instance, said he, of the sale of goods in China to a merchant in Boston, there was no intermediary. The transit of the goods, though they might come in through Canada, was never interrupted. The goods, he insisted, could not fairly be said to be exportations from Canada. Mr. Hamlin cited a great many rulings both of the Treasury Department and the Depart- ment of Justice in support of his conten- tion.

It was her confession to her husband which revealed Whiting’s quadruple life ad point in Canada to another point in Canada, | the Solicitor of the Treasury, in an exhaus- tive ruling had decided that such entry of | goods did not constitute an importation Mr.. within the meaning of the statute. He contended, therefore, that conversely goods coming irto the United States through Can- ada in transit from another country, were not exportations form Canada. The fon of the above question, Mr. H sald, hinged upon the construction to be placed upon these words,of the statute: “Coming into the Untted States from” cone tiguous countries. He submitted that the The Century Dictionary defined “from” as “expressing departure” from a point. These goods took their departure from China or Japan, not from Canada. As well, said he, might it be contended that a man traveling from New York to Washington through Bal- timore “departed” from Baltimore. The goods did not appear in the Canadian re- ports as exports from Canada nor in oun reports as imported from Canada. He cited as an «@nalogous statute the law requiring the deportation of Chinamen “to the country from whence’ they came. In construing that statute the Attorney-General had de- cided the words “from whence he came” meant his ultimate country of departure (China), unlees the Chinaman had been nai- uralized by the Dominion Government, , It would be strange, indeed, said Mr. frami’n, if the country through which he came should be corsidered the country from whence he came In conclusion Mr. Hamlin spoke of the vast importance of the construction of the tatute.

Lady Henry Somerset has withdrawn her resignation of the presidency of the British Woman's Temperance Association. The straw manufacturers of Tuton have been doing a big business in sun bonnets for horses, owing to the instigation of the gov- ernment and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The hats are shaped on the Bordeaux model, having a high crown and a broad brim like the straw bathing hat used in the United States/ with holes for the horses’ ears. The use of the bonnets has greatly decreased the summer mortality among horses in France. The annual scandal about the tramps, loafers, criminals and their female com- panions in Hyde Park is again being ven- tilated. The park is positively dangerous after dusk and almost so in day time. Owing to the great number of assault cases occurring in the park which have found their way into the police courts re- cently, the newspapers have egain taken the matter up. Last year, as a result of the public disgust which followed similar exposures, now regulations were issued for the police control of the park, and Parlia- ment voted 1,200 pounds towards it lighting by electricity and also voted 1,400 pounds for a refreshment kiosk, but owing to the opposition of the Duke of Cambridge, who is the ranger of Hyde Park, nothing was done. The movement now on foot Is to wrest the control of the parks from the Duke and give it to the County Council. A parliamentary committee of France, which Was appointed to investigate the subject of theatrical passes, has recom- mended to the Chamber of Deputies the adoption of a law to abclish season tickets for dramatic and musical entertainments and for imposing a heavy stamp tax on all free passes and a moderate tax on all tick- ets. The rate proposed for passes is 8 centimes. On this basis the income is reckoned at 1,456,000 francs on free passes in Paris alone and a total of 3,543,700 francs on all classes of tickets. The Berlin chess tournament, which is expected to rival the recent contest at Nuremberg and Buda Pest will begin Sep- tember 12.

News comes from Beyreuth that this year’s Wagnerian festival was supported mainly by Americans and English. A stroke of good fortune has befallen one of the Abbott sisters, American girls, who ave had considerable success here in draw- ing rooms and in music halls as singers of Plantation melodies. Jean de Reszke has offered to defray Bessie Abbott’s expenses in ediicating her for opera and expects to launch her on that stage.

Jailer ““‘Butch” Wagner was seated last évening after supper at the window of his residence on Bleventh and Spruce streets looking in the direction of the jail yard, where the gloomy scaffold loomed up grim- ly in the gloaming, when a dark figure glided noiselessly up to the window. It was a shapeless shape, so far as Wagner can recollect now. Pausing to make sure of its prey and also to catch its breath, the figure hurled an offensive epmhet at the jailer. Wagner was at peace with the world and the abus- ive appellation struck him on the funny bone and made him Jaugh. A second and a .thifd epithet. each more offensive than the other, the dark figure hurled at the jailer, the last of . which struck him in the moral solar plexus and roused han to a sense of the injury inflicted upon him. fagner invited the dark figure to take himself hence, and the figure invited Wag- ner to come out and be taken hence him- s“f. Then Wagner grabbed.for his gun and dashed out to annihilate the unknown. When he reached the sidewalk Wagener could find no one, but he shot a hole in the circumamblent atmosphere to draw the police to the scene. , Sergeant Dawson discovered Jailer Wag- ner with a smoking revolver in his hand, looking down the alley. Wagner declared that some unknown man had insulted him as he sat at his window, and that he had shot at him. The Sergeant returned to the Station. Wagner says he has received several anonymous threatening letters of late, and. in view of the recent assassination of Premier Canovas and other eminent men, he does not propose to take any chances = life until the Charity Commissioners rn.

Special to the Post-Dispatch NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—“Old_ Bill” De Verna, a widely known maker of theatrical properties, died in Brooklyn on Friday night, a week before the production of what had been the one great dream of his life and surrounded by the paraphernalia he had devoted years to perfecting. He staged the “Black Crook”’’ when it was first seen in this country. This placed him at the head of his co-workers. Every suc- ceeding spectacle, such as “The Twelve Temptations” and “Ali Baba,”’ showed his handiwork. It was fifteen years ago he conceived the idea of a great spectacle to be called ‘‘Nature.” Day and night he worked on it, but not a manager would think of producing it, for it required an outlay of $120,000 before the curtain rose. The old man struggled on, however, and at last built a factory at 3ay Ridge. There he made his home and worked. Benjam'’n Cohen, a Coney. Island hotelkeeper, became interested in ‘‘Nature”’ and purchased a half interest. Early this epring De Verna went to Europe and en- gaged artists, who have arrived on the At- lantic liners this week. He returned and for five weeks his days have been given over to the rehearsals, while at nght he would perfect his “props.”” The strain was too much and two weeks ago he had to take to bed, suffering from acute gastritis. “I want to see the first performance,” he said frequently, “then the happiness will give me new life, for I shall have reached the height of my ambition.” $15.00 Round Trip, White Sulphur Springs, V4a., Aug. %, via Big Four Route.

One of the most potent factors of pros- perity, so far as St. Louls and the Mis- sissippi Valley are concerned, lies in the building up of an export trade, which would supply a basis of profitagle busi- ness activity, independent of local con- ditions such as crops and merchants’ stocks. A country which is able to supply other countries with its products is on a per- manent basis of prosperity. The States of the Mississipp! Valley are admirably situated and splendidly equipped to sup- ply the Southern half of the Continent with manufactured goods, now mainly imported from Europe. The one point of advantage that Furope has over the Mississippi Valley in com- petition for this trade is that of all-water transportation. Whenever the Missis- sippi River is so Improved and a system is devised by which Mississippi! River ports can have free use of the river all the year round for economical all-water transportation to the gulfs and oceans, éast, south and west, Europe’s present advantage will be overcome and millions of Span wh-American traffic will be di- verted 49 the Mississippi Valle®. Near.y all the great commercial cities are on navigable waterways to the ocean, Give St. Louis the advantage of a navi- gable waterway for ocean traffie and no wift of prophecy is required to foretel] her commercial supremacy. All! the ener- gies of St. Louis should be directed to gaining this advantage. There is more prosperity in dollar Wheat than'in millions of profits from tariff “‘doped” industries, ————— — © —- CLOSE THE POOL-ROOMS. All at is necessary in order to close the pool-rooms is to enforce the law. Well-known lawyers have called at- tention to the law on the subject. Either under the State law against gaming or the State law against general nuisances, or under the city ordinances on these sub- jects, the police are empowered to close gambling dens. Ex-Attorney General Walker believes the nuisance law could be Invoked against the pool-rooms. They are certainly pub- lic nuisances of the worst kind. If the courts refused to hold them to be nuls- ances, It would seem to Indicate that the courts prefer to construe the law in the interest of vice rather than of public mor- ality. But tf the nuisance Jaw can be distorted #0 as to leave the gamblers free, it is difficult to see how they could escape if the police chose to close them up under the gaming law. Whether the so-called breeders’ law is constitutional or not, the gaming law covers every form of gam- biing. : Section 3811 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which has never been repealed, provides that “any person who shall set up or keep a common gaming house shall, on conviction, be adjudged gullty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine not less than two hundred nor exceeding one thousand dollars.” The same section pro. vides that it shall be unlawful to license gaming houses. There is enough law against gambling dens. Why is it not enforced? —_—_—o— .-@ --— ey : What Mr. Hanna meant when he said, No man in public office owes the pub- lic anything,” was that “public office is a Private snap.” . — , = —_ ALFRED AUSTIN’S RIVAL, Not long ago the Sunday Post-Dis- patch published from the Jubilee Ode of that distinguished British-American poet Job Gaylord, the following lines concern. Ing good Queen Vic.: tireat i ; . Xd a , tan a, yaa te That ever wat on Moceeeet qween The quotation has been reproduced and generally commented upon as a remark - able example of Jubllee lyrics. The in. souciant and debonair swing of the lines coupled with the wide sweep of imagina- tion involved in the depiction of Queen Victoria as the “longest Queen” has amazed and delighted the literary world. — in the Jubilee odery quite equals t. There is a demand for more of Mr. Gaylord’s ode. In view of the length of the poem and of the fact that Mr. Gay- lord may be induced to publish it in the form of a jubilee monograph, the Sun- day Post-Dispatch must decline to give the yearning public the entire work. But —_ Commissioner a few additional lines will serve to show the even quality of the whole poem and to whet the public appetite. Having apostrophized the Queen as Aurora and fixed the date of her acces~- sion, the poet bursts into the following glowing eulogy: When sperkling on the diadem Of England's virgin Queen, The truest, noblest, ruling being The world has ever seen. Not content with according Victoria the full meed of praise as a “virgin queen” Mr. Gaylord gracefully turns about and praises her as wife and mother: A guide for weak humanity In her dgmestic life. A perfect other to her babes; A true exemplar wife. It has been suggested that if the lau- reateship had been kept open until] Mr. Gaylord burst into jubilee poetry all doubt as to the head upon which to place the laurel wreath instantly would have vanished. It is a pity Mr. Gaylord was not known before the vacancy Was filled, for we do not know of a living English poet who can shed so mich charm and eulogistic effulgence on the domestic events of royalty. There may be room for debate as to the comparative poetic merits of Job Gaylord and Alfred Austin, but the palm for piquant interest will freely be con- ceded to the former. ——_—__——_ se ~-— - Does Uncle Henry know that the streets of Berlin are kept faultlessly clean even in the poorest parts of the city? ——_- «6 -——»_—_—_-- COAL MINERS’ VICTORIES. It is to be hoped that the coal miners will succeed in gaining a living wage rate. But if they win this victory, of what value will it be to them, as long as that branch of labor is overcrowded and the mine owners manifest the spirit that has so far animated them? The answer to this question is to be found in a look backward to the last great strike in this industry. In 1894, 25,207 coal miners, representing the employes at 276 mines, went on strike in Illinois. They were out, on an aver- age, 34 days, and lost in wages a total of $1,693,910, or $67 per man. This great strike was ended by an agreement, which was heralded as a “ereat victory,” between the organized coal miners of four States, including Illi- nois, and the operators, by which after October ist of that year wages were to be 69 cents. It was also agreed that after Jan. 12, 1895, the rate would be increased to 79 cents. De Armitt came into tnat agreement and everything was supposed to be settled for an indefinite period. Commenting upon that strike, Labor Schilling of Illinois thought that the miners had probably prevented a yet greater loss by the strike, as just before the strike several of the largest operators were preparing to cut wages heavily. But it appears that the proposed cuts came soon after the strike and in spite of the boasted agreement. With this fact in view, it is a wonder that the miners had the courage to engage in another great struggle of this kind. It would appear that it would have been far wiser for many of them to seek other occupations and thus reduce competi- tion until the conditions of mining are radically changed. ® —__-—-— eo —- -—-— As the Dingley bill is supposed to have given us enormous crops, coupled with a large foreign demand, perhaps these great crops would have been still great- er and the foreign demand for them much more imperative if the duties had been made yet higher than the present exorbitant figures.

Mr, Brady is an uncalled-for misft. The new style school janitor will want it known that he was seen to saw. Uncle Henry should sit at the feet of Czar Reed awhile and see how he does it. A State exchange speaks of ‘“‘the death angle.”’ Isn't that rather cornering the death angel? Every Englishman is bound to believe in the virtue of good Queen Bess and Jolly Albert Edward. A janitor may become spellbound when he is asked to spell “school” and yet be able to repair a lock. The old. lady of Banbury Cross rode with belle on her toes, the bicycle belle with a bell, wherever she may choose to place it, ie very much the proper thing. Uncle Filley has described himself as an old tin can, but Mr. McKinley doesn’t seem disposed to even permit him to dangle at the tail of the G. O. P. elephant. The proconia undata pays no car fares and laughs at the stand-up passenger who both pays and stands. In the matter of getting street car passage it is better to be a bug than a human. Mrs. Margaret Hugunin can do carpenter work, put in glass, fit steam pipes and lay brick. There is at least one woman who is elegible to the office of schoo} janitoress, But perhapa she doesn’t write a Spencefian hand. The far West nittkinen. who sell to In- dians, are much in advance of all other dairymen. They do not put water, but fire. water, into thelr cans. Of course this mix- ture ie much costlier to consumers than our ordinary mixture of milk and water, On the tower of an old church building in the downtown district is the sign “‘For Rent or Lease.”” It looms conspicuously above the surrounding buildings, giving public notice that the house dedicated to the Lord has been deserted by the Lord's people. The Lord’s people have no further use for it. They have moved out to pleas- anter places and have left the old church to the devil, if he wants to utilize it. Any of his agents willing to pay the rent can have it. Of course the old building may be turned into a store or a hotel, or it may become a dance hall of the usual downtown variety. The future of the place is a matter of busi- ness. The Lord's people are done with it. Yet in its neighborhood are many boarding- houses and tenements of the poor. Church after. church in the downtown district has thus been abandoned, and it does look as if wealth and love of luxury among the Lord’s people were giving the devil and his agents a decided advantage in the city. Considering the fate of so many unfor- tunate dogs, it would seem that the breed- ing of these poor creature should cease in cities. Certainly, only the best breeds should be preserved. The .breeder of un- necessary dogs may be a very Kindly per- son, but his inhumanity to the canine race is just as harmful ag if it were ¢ntentional. A dog, no more than a human being, should be brought into the world to suffer. There are those who contend that educa- tion {s not essential to success in life— rather that it !s an obstruction. The life of Louls Klein, better known as “‘Uncle Tom,” whose memorial services are to be held to-day almost justifies the con- tention. He was a man of rather extraor- dinary mental attainments, a logical and deep thinker, and a clear and terse writer, but the most remunerative employment he could find was that of hack driver or por- ter. He was one of those very few of conti- nental European birth who completely mas- ter the English language. He never, by chance, lapsed into German idiom, nor mis- spelled a word. His grammatical con- struction was as perfect as that of any Anglo-Saxon scholar, and his meaning was never obscured. Stranger than all his handwriting showed not a trace of the Jerman chirography. His contributions to single tax literature brought him occasion- al Scant and uncertain remuneration as a welcome addition to his small wages. Quiet and unassuming toe a degree, he seemed to have no knowledge of his own abilities, and did not seem to comprehend that he was fitted for any other than the humble sphere in life he occupied. He was absolutely de- void of conceit in any shape. With more assurance and less education, perhaps, he would have been more euccessful. The self-made man is seldom a scholar. The scholar only learns how little he knows, and how much he can never hope to learn, It shears him of pride and self-sufficiency. “The fool thinketh himself to be a wise man, but the wise man knoweth himself to be a fool.’’ The whole world gaped in wonder when Morse demonstrated that a message could girdle the earth in an inappreciably short space of time. And now comes Tesla and says he can accomplish all this without the adventitious aid of wires and poles. He maintains that he can just turn @ mes- sage loose and it will travel by means of the earth’s electric currents to the utler- most parts of the earth. Furthermore, it can be taken up ap, any point on its pas- sage. ‘ : This is going to be hard on the ingenious gentlemen who tap the wires to beat the pool rooms. They can intercept the mes- sage, but it will be too late. They will not be able to delay its delivery at the other end, and they cannot beat it to the pool room. But. on the other hand, the whilom wire-tappers can “cut in’ on messages [to Wall Street brokers and get all kinds of in- side information on stocks. Tesla’s dis- covery seems likely to disrupt the pnvacy of the telegraphic system. Legislative boodlers, bribe takers and givers, and lob- byists have often escaped exposure and punishment by the refusal of the officials of telegraph companies to give away the secrete contained In dispatches. If any fel- low can intercept a message at will, tes- timony outside of telegraph companies’ of- ficials will be easy to get, and witnesses are likely to bob up most unexpectedly. The only way out of it will be for each fellow to have a cipher code of his own. Modern science is going to leave us no privacy at all the first thing we know. There is the X-ray, which penetrates the niprescent eye of God, from which we are toid naught is concealed. A fluoroscope has been invented, which, applied to the eye, penetrates not only partitions of wood and plaster, but brick walls. with his free-for-all telegraph system, Sci- hotograph the innermost thoughts the brain, and read the mind like an opea book. Jules Verne'’s wild and woolly tmaginings are surpassed by the cold facts of science. What will tne end be? Of what use save see through them? The home will cease to disport themselves in the parlor when solid walls offer no resistance to the rays of light scientifically concentrated. Pokhte diplomacy which welcomes most unwelcome guest will become a lost and useless art when we all know what our acquaintances really think about us. The subject is fraught with greater ter- rors. to the atrabilarian mind, than the whimsical conceit of Prof. Teufelsdrockh, who used to imagine the sudden uncloth- ing of all the great people at a reception, even to royalty itself, a spectacle present- ed to his mind's eye at which he knew not whether to laugh or to weep. The soul, mind and body held up to the public gaze! Every thought and motion proclaimed from the housetops! All sense ef modesty and shame utterly destroyed! Who.can imagine such possibilities of the future with equanimity? Will not science please pause in its mad career while a sem- blance of sanity remains with us nervous and imaginative folks? The Sugar Trust is to contro] the Glu- cose Trust. This is but natural. Glucose is a kind of sugar. The chemists call It left-handed sugar. The Sugar Trust al- ready controlled the dextrose or “right4 handed"’ saccharine product. Now they will control all our sweetness, right and left handed. The trust will have its hands full. And it will be able to ‘slug’ the pub- lic In an ambidextrous way that should fill the Havemeyers’ souls with joy.

It is not as sweet as cane Sugar, but it is very much cheaper. The public cannot distinguish between Slucose sugar and cane sugar. When the Sugar Trust controls both products it will be able to adulterate the cane sugar as much as it pleases. And the extent of the aduiteration will be measured by the profit to be made and the extent to which the public can be gulled. Glucose can be made of corn stalks, saw- dust, or “any old thing.’’ The text books on chemistry used to tell how it could be produced from cotton rags, pocket hand- kerchiefs, or even old shirt tails. The peo- ple must have sugar, and if the Sugar Trust chooses to offer them “left-handed” corn stalk trash instead of good cane su- gaf, “what are they going to do about it?” The déath of Col. George Gantt of Mem- Phis, which ocourred recently, removes from the bar probably the most able ad- vocate in criminal practice in the South. His death recalls two of the most noted tragedies in the South since the war, in both of which he figured professionally. He assisted the prosecution in the trial of Col. H. Clay King for the murder of David H. Poston. The case was notable not only because of the prominence of the prin- cipals, but because back of it, and pri- marily causing the murder, was the start- ling sdOcial sensation involving the rela- tions of Col. King with a lady who. bore the name of one of the oldest and proud- est of Southern families—the widow of Gen, Pillow. It was largely owing to Col, Gantt’s participation in the prosecution that Col. King was convicted. He was the first genuine Southern Colonel ever sen- tenced to hang. But he did not hang. Gov. Buchanan commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, almost at the eleventh hour, and the Colonel is still wearing the stripes in the Tennessee Penitentiary at Nash- ville. Equally noted was the trial of Alice Mitchell, who killed Freda Ward in a fit of jealous rage. This case attracted at- tention internationally, because of the fact that Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward had an unnatural attachment for each other. After an attempted elopement had been frustrated, the two were separated by their respective families, and this brought about the shocking tragedy. Col. Gantt defended the unhappy girl, and succeeded in having her sent, on a plea of “present insanity,” to the Tennessee State Asylum at Bolivar, where she now is. The lingering visitor has often worn out a welcome, but a more serious result of a iong stay is reported from Cheyenne. Mrs. Nichols visited the Stanleys in Ogden, re- mained more than a month, and when she @wvent home the Stanleys sent her a bill of $54 for board. Mr. Nichols, refusing to pay, was compelled by law to settle. Then Mrs. Nichols horsewhipped Mr. Stanley. With this precedent it is likely that visits in Wyoming willl be considerably ' short- ened. Perhaps the visiting Hmit will be fixed at-a few days or a week. The law and the lash are greatly to be deplored as between friends. The ‘‘You must come and see me’’ should be better understood.

Whether the school yards are utilized as public playgrounds or not, it ts In order to call attention to the neglected condition of school play grounds generally. As a rule, the school yard, whether in a country district or in a great city, is about the mosr desolate spot in the neighborhood. It Is not the presence of the children and thelr acts of vandalism that makes it desolate. It is desolate because nothing is ever done to make it a pleasant and desirable spot of ground. The school yard should be as large as pos- sible. It should be surrounded with shade trees. A border should be kept for flowers and shrubs. Climbing plants should be trained up the school walls. The rest of the yard should be well paved and a part of the space should be covered with a booth or pavilion, where the children could gather during wet weather. It must have a bad influence upon those who are to be citizens to be educated in the eidst of a spot as destitute of beauty or tasteful design as a strip of the Sahara desert.

The crowd around the relay station expected to see the three persons instantly killed. The engineer saw the danger and reversed his lever, but it was too late. The locomotive struck the express wagon and smashed it into splinters. Burns, Mrs. Peters, little Tommy and the trunk were thrown high in the air. The spectators rushed to them when they struck the ground. Mrs, Peters was unconscious when they picked her up. Burns was dazed, but was soon on his feet.

Eleven-year-old Arthur Reynolds, a ne- gro, the youngest prisoner ever arraigned in St. Louis on the charge of horse stealing, scored a victory in Judge Murphy’s court yesterday. “That boy never stole a horse; he is too young,” the Judge remarked. Then the bare-footed pickaninny, accom- panied by his blacker “mammy,” a negress of the ante-bellum type, walked out of the court room, free. The youth had been in jall several days, awaiting trial on the charge of stealing a horse from Fred Gerber at Sixth and Mor- gan streets. Gerber employed the black boy to hold his horse a few minutes. When he returned the horse was gone. The boy said a strange man took it away from him. His arrest followed. The horse was not recovered.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 144.—Mary Brie- coe, who was assaulted over two eeks ago by James Mingle, who first killed their child, ‘s, in the op'nion of her physicians, a confirmed imbecile. The wounds inflicted by Mingle were done with a hatchet, and the woman’s brain was exposed in several places, the aperture in one place being two inches in width. Her wounds were thought to be fatal, but she has been improving physically from day to day. All hopes of her rega'ning her reason were abandoned to-day when State’s Attorney Smith quizzed her. She has not the power of memory, and all attempts to get an intelligible an- swer were of no avail. She answered all the questions put to her with the mono- syllable ‘“‘No.’’ The State has been depend- ing upon tne woman to give valuable evi- dence against her child’s murderer, but convicting testimony will have to be found elsewhere.

LOUIS, AUGUST 45, 1897. —_ . oe IEFFERSON BARRACKS, gONTRAOCTS AWARDED FOR NEAR- LY $100,000 OF IM- PROVEMENTS. a, —_—_ —_-——_- -_—— BULK COMES TO ST. LOUIS. One Chicago Firm Gets a Slice, but a Neat Hogging Game Was Blocked. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—The War Department has awarded the contracts for nearly $100,000 of improvements at Jefferson Rarracks. As soon as the bonds of the con- tractors are approved work will begin and most of the buildings will be completed this geason. The improvements to be made in- clude nine bulldings at the Barracks. Deutman of St. Louls secured the con- tract for building the officers’ quarters for $24.945. O’Brien of St. Louls was awarded the contract for the guard-house, at $10,250. the contract for the barracks at $57,489, and Clark & Sons of Chicago the contract for the guard-house, at $10,250. The nine buildings consisted of one guard- house, three barracks bulldings and five officers’ quarters. Bids were advertised to be made separately on the guard-house, bar- racks buildings and the officers’ quarters. Among others there were the following bids in round numbers: Clark & Sons of Chicago bid $10,250 on the guard-house;: O’Brien of St. Louis, $10,791; Deutman of St. Louls, $10,567. Clark & Sons of Chicago bid $28,450 on the officers’ quarters; O’Brien bid $29,525, and Deutman $24,945. Clark & Sons bid $58,750 on the barracks; O’Brien bid $57,489, and Deutman bid $60,117. From these figures it can be eeen that Clark & Sons were the lowest bidders on the guard-house; that Deutman was the lowest bidder on the quarters, and that O’Brien was the lowest bidder on the bar- racks. The aggregate of the three bids of Clark & Sons was $9,000, of O’Brien $97,506, of Deutman $95,729. A prominent brick firm, which has an office in St. Louis, had an agreement wit Clark & Sons of Chicago to furnish them the brick for these improvements. It is said here that this brick firm. which is the largest in the United States, interested it- self to the extent of getting the officers at Jefferson Barracks who had charge of let- ting the contracts to recommend that Clark & Sons be given the contract for all three jobs, because thelr aggregate was the low- est. The officer sent this recommendation to, Washington and also raised a question as to Deutman’s responsibility. The Quar- termaster’s office of the War Department, however, after examining the bids very carefully, put its seal of condemnation up- on this attempt to defraud the government out of nearly $2,500 and approved the bids of the lowest bidders, thus awarding one bid to each of the three bidders mentioned. By this the government saves nearly $2,500, as the total of the three lowest bids. is $92,684, while the total of Clark & Sons is $95, 000, -_ Oe _ NO HORSELESS CARRIAGES. They Cannot Be Used on the Streets of Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14—The Commissioners of the District of Columbia have refused to allow horeeless carriages to be used on the streets of Washington. John A. Hughes, a merchant, applied for permission to use a horseless delivery wag- on, and In refusing the permit the commis- sioners placed a ban on all horseless ve- hicles on the ground that they frighten horses and are likely to cause runaways and accidents.

FAVORITES, THEY CAPTURED ALL THE RACES AT THE FAIR GROUNDS YESTERDAY. A BAD DAY FOR THE BOOKIES. Belle of Memphis, Belvadell and Sir Rolla Among the Winners. The lovely weather and good card brought nearly 5,000 to the Fair Grounds race track yesterday afternoon. The betting ring developed strength. The rumors Friday that such good pencll- ers as Cella. Coleman and Hughey Jones intended taking down their slates worried those interested in the continuation of the Fair Grounds meeting. It was thought that if they quit and left but four books in the ring that something desperate might happen. Coleman and Jones. however, must have liked the look of yesterday's card, for they drew in again with the rest. Cella. however. took down the South Side slate and the Altamax Club, who had been doing business in the ring the first of the week, also failed to register. Two new comers, however, put in an ap- pearance, and when the “all: weighed in” bell rang these slates were up in the ring: Stuyvesant Club, of which Johnny Cole- man is the real proprietor; Sam May & Co., Caesar Young, the Mazy Club, Joe H. L. Jones & Co., and the Boston Club Cella said he would have made the sev- enth book. but as that number had drawn in he would rest for a day or two. He will probably be on deck again at the next drawing in. The day was a hard ore for the bookies. They handled more money than on any other two days of the week, but that was unexpected 1 all the worse for them, as six well-played favorites crossed the plate in the winning position. It was the greatest day of the meeting for the form players. It is a long time since six favorites have scored at the Fair Grounds in a single day. A good lot of 2-year-olds faced the flag in the first race and Starter Chinn, after a moment’s delay, got them away well to- gether. Of the twelve carded in the second race, White Leaf was the only one to decline the ‘ssue. It was an unruly lot and there were several false breaks before the wae fell. In one of ‘hese McHale, who was riding Lil- ian May, was caught in the gate and. dragged out of the saddie. He was only scratched up a little. At-flag fall Siva and Dr. Pace went away from ‘the rest and led the way to the stable gate. Then Sir Rolla showed the good colt he is by getting away from the bunch and going around ihe lead- ers as though they were tied. When they hit the stretch Sir Rolla was in command and he held the lead easily to the end. He won by a length from Siva, who was that distance ahead of Bon Marche. here were three withdrawals, leaving only s‘x to face the issue in the third race. Belvadell opened favorite, but fell from 4 to § to 13 to 10. They were off at the initial trial, The form players looked on Harry Duke -3 a moral in the fourth and they played him heavily even at the prohibitive figures of 1 to 2 -The close friends of Laureate were also on hand with a good bit of money and they pushed the figures down from 3 to 2 to 1, Montgomery was looked on with suspicion by the bookies and they would lay no better than 7 to 1 against his chances. At these figures Johnny Coleman bet $300 on him. Caddie C. and Nick Carter were the rank outsiders. There was..some delay and a couple of false breaks before they were off. saureate was the first to show. He led the bunch for only the first quarter. Then Harry Duke assumed com- mand and he led them all the way around the back turn and into the tretch. He won in a common gallop. The fifth race was the feature of the day’s card. It brought L'nda, Madeline, Royal Choice and Tranby to the post. Tiin- da was well played at 4 to 5, Madeline had many followers at 2 to 1, while plenty of money went in on Tranby at 5tol. Royal Choice was the despised outsider. Tranby ot off badly and Seamonds pummeled the ife out of him the first part of it. Slaugh- ter took Linda out in front, set the pace and remained in the lead the whole way. The Cann’'s old mare won easily by three lengths ahead of Tranby. Garner on Roy- lengths ahead of Tranby. Gainer on Roy- al Cholce tried to steal third place from Seamonds on Tranby and was only beaten out for that place by a nose. Of the unwieldy field of fifteen in the last race, twelve went out in quest of the money. Of this lot Earl Cochran was the best fancied. At 9 to 5 the talent played him as though it was all over. Frank Da- ly at 13 to 5, was next in favor.

HE WAS HEAVILY BACKED. The Judges Have Ordered All Bets on the Race Suspended Until They Can Investigate. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 14.—A supposed ringer was run at Newport to-day, and all bets are held back pending an investiga- tion by the judges. The horse is Waban, a chestnut colt, 4 years old, by Sir Joseph— Hilda,.and was entered in the name of Spragge & Lydy. Waban won the second race under a pull, beating the heavily backed favorite, Whyota, and eeveral oth- ers. A horse of the same name has started several times at the local tracks, but whether this is the same animal or not is what the judges are going to find out be- fore bets are paid. Waban opened at 10 to 1, and was backed down to 9 to 2 at post time. He was ridden by James, one of the best boys at the track. GG. The special race to establish a new mile record Was run to-day.

LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 15, 1897. ae ITH SID AACE MEET Some Clever Riding Done at the United Wheeling Club’s Initial Meeting. ZIMMERMAN DIDN'T SCORE. ee HONORS OF THE DAY CARRIED OFF BY HOMER CANFIELD, WHO BROKE A RECORD. ONE EVENT WAS PROTESTED. eee = oes L. D. Cabanne Claimed a Foul, Which Was Allowed, and Anderson Served Notice of Appeal. Perhaps the most successful bicycle race meeting given in St. Louis was that of the T’nited Wheeling Clubs on the race track at Bouth Side Park yesterday afternoon. It was the initial appearance of the new organization as a promoter of race meets. The success scored was marked. There were between 5,000 and 6,000 per- gons there. They were packed and jammed into the grand stand, and there war noe room on the ground below. The crowd overflowed onto the track and at times it looked as if the races would be interfered with. Arthur Zimmerman, the ex-champion world rider. had a great deal to do with drawing that crowd. But the track had more. Many of the people found it within walking distance. Others were quickly and sonventently carried on the street cars, eneral mixup of the riders on the last lap. Three or four went down. H. C. Strothotte of the Kenneth Cycling Club, a popular rider, did not get up. His shoulder was broken. ™m the same ambulance that took him to his home. 392) North Nineteenth street, went C. C. Rhodes of 286 North Tenth street. He was a spectator, and while in the grand stand fell over unconec.ous. A physician. who was near, atte nded him. The man had heart disease. That and the heat overcame him. Harry Heinrichs of 2818 Lemp avenue, who had a free seat looking over the fence on the back stretch. told his troubles to the pulice. While enjoying a rattling and ex- citing finish, he says John Jones, a col- ored employe of the park, slipped up and hit him arap with the butt end of a pis- tol. Not satisfied: with this, he says Jones carromed a heavy club off his head. Such little things as this pass unnoticed at a race track. There were almost as many people on the house tops and in the windows and over- looking the fence as there were inside. The disappearance of one of them was un- noticed. The riding of Zimmerman was a disap- pointment. That of Homer Canfield, an amateur, Was a aurprise. Zimmerman was the star of the pro- gramme. He had been brought here from me East to ride an exhibition half-mile and mile. Paced by Stade, Harding and Corfe ona triplet, Zimmerman went for an exhibition haif, The pace was not fast enough and no time was expected. He rode in 56 seconds. Canfield, the amateur, well paced by a triplet ridden by amateurs, went against the State half mile record of 57 seconds. He made the distance In 55 seconds. Zimmerman was better paced in his exhi- bition mile. He rode behind a triplet and a tandem, but they couldn't foree him to ride very fast. He made the mile in 1:57. In Canfleld’s go against the State mile amateur record he got bad pacing and lit- tle assistance. His time was 2:02, one second short of the State record. With better pacing he would have broken it. The Branch Guards Bicycle Corps, thirty strong, and under Capt. Sinclair, gave a rat- tling exhibition of their drill on wheels. This they followed with a skirmish line, a bayonet charge and a rally. In this last they fired seevral volleys of blank cartridges. These maneuvers of the soldier cyclists were loudly applauded by the spectators. There were no other features outside the races. These were interesting enough in themselves. All were paced. In the mile open professional E. E. An- derson of Roodhouse, Ill., finished first, with Louls Coburn second and R. P. Rice of Chicago third. The time was 2m. 11 1-5s. Dute Cabanne protested the race. His ground was that the pacemaker was in- structed to keep the ra'‘l, but on one turn took the outside and carried Cabanne, who was riding behind, out with him. Cabanne argued that he would have won had it not been for this. The referee allowed the protest to stand and called it no race. Anderson refused to After the races there were plenty of cars. ere was no waiting and no crowding. As 800N as the cars were filled they were sent east and west. Others rolled up and took their places. From every point of view the afternoon Was a@ success. The track was firm and fast. The rain of the morning no more than laid the dust. The starters were so humerous that it was found necessary to divide one of the races into three heats. Fast time was made in all the races and at least one record was broken. Those who saw the races were enthusiastic. There were several little things that might have marred the afternoon, crowds in the gran it did not know of them. In the mile open amateur there was a EE ED - ~ — ee = -. 4 ox At this moment thousands of men are standing at the cross-roads of life.

The two-mile club championship, for a silver cup, was one of the best races of the day. The starters were Howard, Hat-. tersley and Weidner, from the St. Louis Cycle Club; Costello, Gast and Klute. from the Kenneths, and Dougherty, Carr and La Beaume, from the Cabanne Club. Dougherty, Klute, La Beaume and Weid- ner alternated in pacing. Fifty yards from the tape Costello spurted and beat Weld- ner out a wheel’s length. Howard was third. The time was 5m. 19 4-5. On the last lap Joseph M. Carr fell on the turn against the fence. He was knocked unconscious and it wae thought he was dead, A doctor found he was ‘“winded."’ He was only slightly bruised.

THEIR MIDSUMMER MFET. Seven Races to Be Run on the Pastime Track Next Saturday. The regular midsummer annual tourna- ment of the famous Associated Cycling Clubs will take place at the Pastime track next Saturday. In point of attractions. as well as in the number of contestants, it promises to be as successful as any meet they have ever run. The fact must not be lost sight of that the Associated Cycling Clubs deserve and should receive the patronage Of the wheel- men and the laity, for the reason that they assumed the rental of the Pastime track ‘with the Cycle Board of Trade in order to keep the sport of cycle racing alive in this city. The liability is a heavy one and only through the liberal support of the general public can they hope to finish the season with a balance on the right side of their ledger. An additional event has been added to the which now consists of seven. as follows: One mile novice, one mile open, five mile handicap, two mile Missouri Division championship, one mile srofess'onal open, five mile professional handicap. The prizes for the events are doubt the costliest ever given in St. Louls. All of the medals are solid gold. set with diamonds, and the other prizes must be seen to be appreciated. Chairman Laing of the Track Committee, has had the track well looked after since the last race meet, and it Is as safe and fast as it ever was. So says Tom Aiken. If it is possible to do so an intercity team race be- tween teams from Chicago and St. Louis will be arranged. President Sanders had the negotiations about completed when Capt. Levy of the Chicago Club declared the deal off for some fancied wrong done at the Forest Park road race last June. Every possible means was exhausted to programme, without get the big professional quartette, consist- ing of Bald, Cooper, Kiser and Loughead, here. but their engagements in the Fast will not permit. The racing will nevertheless be LUCAS WILL ACCEPT, WILL MAKE THE RACE FOR CHIEF CONSUL OF THE MISSOURI DIVISION, L. A. W. HE HAS SOME CONDITIONS. Members Must Increase the Division Membership by 1,500 Between Now and October 15. It will no doubt be pleasant news to the members of the Miesouri Division, L. A. W., to know that Henry V. Lucas may be a candidate for the office of Chief Consul. A great deal of pressure has been brought to bear on him to accept the office, and he has agreed to place himself in the hands of his friends. A mass meeting of all the local L. A. W. members will be calléd to convene at the cottage in Forest Park next Thursday evening, Aug. 2%, to which ev- ery L. A. W. member ie invited. It is for the purpose of discussing the situation, and if pledges of the right kind are made to im- mediately increase the membership Mr. Lu- cas will in all probability accept the honor. The election does not take place until Oc- tober 15, and it is Mr. Lucas’ idea that if the members of the League are in earnest of having him accept the office they must be prepared to increase the membership by 1,500 between now and the date named. Mr. Lucas is without question or doubt the most popular wheelman in the city, and he has had long years of experience in handling. matters of this’ kind. He is loaded to the guards with new ideas of increasing the influence of the L. A. W. in Missouri, and with him at the helm the Western influence in the next meeting of ' | ank | ¢@ 1, early.

He found that his office facilities were becoming overtaxed, as was the time of himself and his associates. In order to be perfectly fair to all, he offered for the month of June the opportunity of beginning or renewing treatment at the old low rates which had so long been paid. This opportunity he extended for July, be- cause 60 Many applied during the conclud- ing days of the month that it was impos- sible to give persona! attention to them all. He again extends it for August for the same reason. He now feels that none can ever find fault with him or criticise him, that none can ever say that he was not fair, liberal and generous beyond example, for certainly no opportunity of the kind was ever so long continued or ever so thoroughly made known. He does not regret that he has so long continued it, although both himself and his associates have found no hour of leisure during all this time. He feels that much good has been done. He feels that many have had restored to them their lost hear- ing, who would have forever remained in- habitants of a world of silence, and he feels that many have been enabled to be cured of all the different forms of chronic dis- ease, who would otherwise have remained hopeless invalids, and he feelg that all have been enabled to receive the benefits of his treatment at a fee so small that there has been no burden. Doctor Copeland wishes that there may be no misunderstand- ing; he wishes that there may IT ENDS SEPTEMBER 1. Final Announcement of the Close of the Opportunity Under the Low Rates. DEAFNESS WITH RINGING NOISES COMPLETELY CURED. “MY PEOPLE ARE DELIGHTED WITH THE SUCCESSFUL TERMI- NATION OF THE TREATMENT, AND YOU MAY BE ASSURED THAT I AM THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN ST. LOUIS OVER MY RESTORED HEARING.” a ‘~~ Mrs. Matilda Thalinger, 1808 Ar- senal st.: “I had been deaf in both ears for years and this was accompanied by noises in the head like the sound of es- caping steam. I was so deaf that I could not hear the street cars pass my home. In order for me to hear anyone it was necessary for them to shout very loudly right in my ear, and when people spoke to me in ordinary tones I could see their lips moving but could not hear a sound. Many a time my friends greeted me on the streets and as I did not see them and could not hear them I was not aware of their presence. Deafness Caused Her Great Annoyance. “My affliction was so great that it gave me no pleasure to attend the various amusements about the city or to visit m be | friends, so I just remained at home all beat on the water. | avenue—five blocks away.”’ i RESTA Rar wart ED «Before I was cured of deafness by Doctor Copeland I could not hear a street car pass by—it seemed to glide along quietly like a Now [can hear one coming as far as Jefferson MRS.

It was exceedingly embarrassing to meet strangers. I can say truly that to any- one whose hearing has been perfect, deaf- ness is one of the great afflictions in the world. Suffered From Noises in the Head. “That constant noise in my head was aggravating almost beyond endurance and sometimes I thought it would drive me crazy. All the time, day and night, there was no relief from that unceasing sound like the noise of escaping steam. The fearful monotony of it, ws fact that I could not possibly get away from it, was an awful strain on the nerves. Her Deafness Was Getting Worse and Worse. “My deafness originated about five or six years ago and started with a very bad cold. From then on sometimes my hearing was good and then again very poor, and all this time it was gradually getting worse and worse. I knew this from the fact that I got so deaf that I could not hear so many sounds that I had heard all my life—the clock ticking, the cars pass by, the doorbell ringing, and people had to shout louder and oak er in my ear to make me hear. Why She Went to Doctor Copeland. “T have lived in my present home for twenty-four years and five years ago my husband was successfully treated by the | Copeland Physicians for another malady. | I read of the wonderful curcs of deafness | at the Copeland Institute and was also advised to go there by Mrs. John Smith, 2622 Lemp av., whose husband had taken the Copeland Treatment. Now She Is the Happiest Woman in St. Louis. “I consulted Doctor Copeland in re- gard to my deafness, and, after an ¢xam- ination of my ears, he told me that I could be cured if I followed the treat- ment properly. He has cured me per- fectly and I can now hear as weil as I ever did in my life.

HER FATHER Speaks in Praise of the Copeland Physicians. Mr. Frederick Hanss, 1808 Arsenal st.: “Often I have spoken to my daugh- ter and she did not hear a sound. It was very difficult to hold a conversation with her, and when I did every one for a block around could hear what I said. We are all sincerely grateful to the Copeland Mrs. Matilda Thalinger, 1808 Arsenal street, Cured of D eainess by Doctor Copeland. Physicians for what they have done and heartily recommend any one afflicted with deafness to go to them for treatment.” HER MOTHER . Rejoices That This Terrible Afflic- tion Is Removed. Mrs, Matilda Hanss, 1808 Arsenal st.: “I am sincerely glad that ma daugh- ter’s hearing has come back to her. The Copeland treatment is all right. My daughter was very deaf for a long time and it taxed my voice to talk with her. She can now hear perfectly, and | am just as glad as I can be to know thar this terrible affliction is removed from her life.” :; HER BROTHER Testifies to the Restoration of Her Hearing. Gustave Hanss, 1808 Arsenal) st.: “The restoration of my sister's hearing is very evident to me. Many a time I have called out loudly to her from a little dis- tance away and she did not hear me in the slightest degree. The only way I could make her hear was to go up very close and shout loudly in her ear. Now she can hear without any trouble at all and can take part in conversation as well as anyone.” A NEIGHBOR Corroborates the Wonderful Statement From Personal - Knowledge. Mrs. Carrie Jansen, 1808 Arsenal st.: “I live in the flat above Mrs. Thal- inger and now I can speak to her from upstairs and she hears without the slight- est trouble. She was so deaf that it was almost impossible to carry on a conver- sation with her, and as for saying any- thing to her that you didn’t want every- body to hear, it was impossible. Those Copeland doctors have accomplished a wonder in her case and certainly deserve the highest credit for such a remarkable cure.’ HOME TREATMENT BY MAIL.

PRESIDENT’S OFFER ACCEPTED. | (GREAT GRANDSON OF A‘ REVOLU- | TIONARY HERO AND AN EXPE- | RIENCED BUSINESS MAN. | HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN. Mr. McKinley Highly Pleased That His Friend Should Make Busi- ness Sacrifices to Accept the Office. A special telegram to the Post-Dispatch from Hotel Champlain, Clinton County, New York, the summer home of President McKinley, says that Mr. Ethan Allen Hitchcock of St. Louis has accepted the offer made by the President of the Russian Miss'on. The President has sent to Washington for fhe proper forms and will publicly an- |} nounce the appointment Monday. Mr. ‘McKinley expressed to the Post-Dis- patch correspondent his pleasure at Mr. | Hitchcock's acceptance. He esteems him as a warm friend and has the highest re- gard for his business qualifications. The | tender of the Russian mission is in the | mature of a personal. privilege. Mr. Hitch- cock was offered the position a week ago. Mr. Hitchcock and family are at their | summer home in New Hampshire. Their residence at No. 60 Vandeventer place is closed. Mr. George Hitchcock, a son of Mr. Henry Hitchcock, is the only member of the family ‘in the city. He said last night that after a week’s consideration that involved the ad- justment of a great many business enter~ prises, his uncle had accepted the Presi- dent’s tender of the Russian Mission and had so notified him during the afternoon. He wired young Mr. Hitchcock and a num- ber of his personal and business friends in St. Louis to the same effect. Ethan Allen Hitchcock is a great grand- son on the distaff side of the Revolutionary hero, Col. Ethan Allen, wno demanded and captured Fort Ticonderoga “In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continenta] . Congress.”’ Samuel Hitchcock, was but moved to Bur- lington, Vt., where he married the second daughter of Ethan Allen and afterwards held a prominent place in the early history of the State, having voted in convention for the adoption of the Unitec States Constitu- tion. @ was made United States Circuit Judge for the Second District by President John Adams. His son, Henry; was born in Burlington, Vt.. but moved to Alabama to establish of law. He rose to His grandfather, at the time of his death, in 1839, was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama. Ethan Allen Hitchcock was born in Mobile in September, 1835. The year following his father’s death, he moved, with his famlly, to Tennessee. He took an academic course iat New Haven, Conn., and returned to the South, where he remained until 1851, when he moved to St. Louis to embark in business.

Mr. Hitchcock remained in China twelve He made two visits to th!s country, bership in the firm, and a second in 1869, when he married Miss Margaret Collier, daughter of the late George Collier, whom he brought back- with him to China. Mr. Hitchcock remained in the Orient un- when he retired from the firm of Olyphant & Co. He returned through India and remained two years on the continent a considerable portion of the time being spent at St. Petersburg and Moscow. Returning to St. Louts tn 1874, Mr. Hitch- cock engaged actively in business and has become president of several large manufacturing and railway corporations. Mr. Hitchcock has had to consider the abandonment of all his business enter- prises, but he has made the sacrifice to ' please his friend, President McKinley, who ' was anxious that a business man should represent this country at St. Petersburg in view of the active trade relations that are contemplated with Russia and through it with the Orient. Mr. Hitchcock is a brother of Mr. Henry Hitchcock, who was urged -for the Unite® States Supreme Bench by lawyers the country over during President Harrison's administration, and who was spoken of McKin- ley’s official household.

They came bowling along Pine street at a fairly good speed, and when near the corner of Compton the left hind wheel of the vehicle suddenly parted company w'th its associates and went spinning away to the pavement and down the street, nar- rowly missing a lad who -stood outside a gateway. The drag fell with a crash, the women screamed and persons ran out of the'r houses to learn about the trouble. The woman on the rear seat clung tenac- jously to her companion and he was quic) and strong enough to prevent thrown to the ground.

POLICEMAN'S SUDDEN DEATH Heart Disease Claims Patrick Crowley, a Well-Known Officer. at 2208 Dickson street at 6 o’clock last even- ing. Heart disease is supposed to be the cause. Officer Crowley was a powerful man, weighing more than 200 pounds, was in the best of health and was only 31 years old. He was not married and lived with his widowed mother. He was on duty Friday as usual and worked \until 11 o’clock that night. Yes- terday morning he was not feeling well and did not report for duty. He did not think his condition serious and did not consult a p.#sician. around the greater portion of the day. He was'stricken suddenly at 6 o'clock and died before medical aid could be optained. Dr. J. F. Langan arrived shortly after his death, which he said was due to heart disease. Crowley was one of the best known po- licemen in Capt. Peter Joyce's district. He and his partner, Mike Burke, figured in many of the sensational ¢ases that attracted attention in the famous “‘Bloody Third” dis- trict. Crowley was considered by his super- iors to be an excellent officer. He was appointed to the force April 16, first beat was in the “Bad around Twelfth and Morgan Streets and Lucas avenue. He had been doing special duty in the Fourth District for five years prior to his death. convicted of the murder of Stockman Ed- ward Brown five years ago They were eentenced to death, but had their sen- tences commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. Stone and are in the penitentiary now. He assisted in the capture of ‘‘Mickey”’ Reed and ‘‘Pidgy’’ McCullough, two of the worst thieves that ever infested the city. Reed is now in the penitentiary and Mc- Cullough in the Work-house. Buck Nelson is another dangerous crook who was lodged behind the bars by Crowley. Nelson had been sent to the penitentiary for ten years for highway robbery. He was mardoned by Gov. Stephens. He came to 8t. uls. Crowley recognized him and arrest- ed him on the charge of associating with thieves. He was identified by a victim he had held up and robbed and is now doing a year’s term in the Work-house for the job. FOUND A ROBBERS’ ROOST Capt. Pickel Discovers Stolen Goods and Causes Six Arrests. Six men are locked up In the jail at Web- ster as a result of Capt. Pickel’s expedi- tion into the county yesterday. The police and the county authorities believe they have rounded up all the mem- ically robbing Frisco freight trains months. arrested Friday morning. As told in yesterday's Post-Dispatch Capt. Pickel and several of his men passed half of Friday night in Kirkwood. watch- ing for the gang to hold up a freight train, but were d.sappointed. Yesterday morning Capt. Pickel of the Second District, Patrolman Geimer and De- tectives Sully and Connolly went out to Kirkwood with the negro asa guide. There they met Sheriff Kerth and Detective Ket- chum of the Missouri Pacific. The negro led them to a lonely spot three-quarters of a mile east of Valley Park. On the east side of the railroad track there is a steep embankment leading to a hollow 100 feet below the level of the tracks. This hollow the negro pointed out as the resort of the train robbers. He piloted the officers to a place where the descent was easy. Mem- bers of the party report that at the foot of the embankment they found six dry goods boxes filled wih clothing.

The President's reply is nor known, Tt is learned here that there has been con. siderable correspondence over the ment of the foreign department of the Gov. ernment, and a report comes that Secre. tary Sherman, inspired by rumors of the President's displeasure at his lack of di. plomatic etiquette in discussing matters of the department, has written the Presi dent asking if it is his desire to have » change. The President has been in communication with Judge Day almost constantly § gince his departure from Washington, but it jig not believed here that the Assistant Sec. retary Is any better informed as to Mr, Sherman's intentions than any one else. That there will be a change in the State Department is considered certain, but Judge Day is not regarded as the likely successor of Mr. Sherman in any event.

Strange Story of an Infant That Came from No One Knows Where. baby that has set the whole country talking. Mrs. Clarence Fitch of 173 Streator ave- nue at first thought it was hers. Then she decided it was not. Whose child it is there ia none to say. Mrs. Fitch gave it up, and it is now at In- fants’ Rest, four monthe old, and as beau- tiful a little girl as one m'ght wish to sce. Mr. Fitch is an agent for a coal com- pany, and was formerly auditor of the Cleveland Provis'on Company. He is young, intelligent and respectable. His wife has soft brown eyes and hair and pleasant fea- tures. Their story of the baby does not explain the mystery. Last May Mrs. Fitch went to Connecticut for a visit with relatives. But she never saw them, although she was seen in the town where they reside. In a few days she returned home by way of New York City, and it was easily that her mind was Slightly deranged. With her she brought the baby girl that is now blinking and cooing at Infants’ Rest. She said it was here, and there is no doubt that she believed it. Her friends believed it and so did the doctors. Strange to relate, on July 18 Mrs. Fitch gave birth to a boy. That set the doctors and the nejghbors and the wise old women ts Cleveland, O., there is a mysterious seen and even the parents to guessing. The more | they studied about the situation the more puzzled they became. The wide separation of the birth of twins even to the extent of three months, has been known. What has happened may happen again. When Mrs. Fitch returned home and sald the little baby girl was hers, it was believed. Hav- ing once thoroughly believed that fact, the birth on July 18 was its own evidence. But the wise old ladies wagged their heads. It didn’t matter what the md@ilical books said, or what the doctors gaid. They knew. So they kept on wagging their treads, and said it would all come out some day. Now they are saying: “I told you so.” And they say it with reason, for a few days ago Mr. and Mrs. Fitch decided that the baby was not theirs. Mr. Fitch called on the agent of the Humane Society and explained the situation as best he could, and the mysterious girl baby was removed to Infants’ Rest. Where did the little one come from? Mrs. Fitch does not know. Since the birth of the boy her mind has almost regained its equilibrium, but «he is unable to recall, except in a vague way, the incidents of her trip to Connecticut. By the time she has fully recovered her health and strength she hopes to be able to recall enough of her journey to clear up the mystery. The doctors agree that they were fooled. The wise old ladies are certain of it.. Mrs. Fitch does not know. No human being knows. ARY REILLY is one of the most M wonderful girls of the century, She is certainly the most puzzling. Through her mentality, it is claimed, a lost soul communicates with a world where it once dwelt in the flesh, and reveals the conditions under which it now exists. Its melancholy utterances turn the blood to tce. They are drearier and more de- spairing than the cries of Prometheus, bound to the side of frosty Caucasus, with nothing in prospect through time and eter- nity save ,endless and almost unbearable suffering. This lost soul seems to speak through the frail body of this wonderful girl, and even she does not understand the process nor the source of her power. Materilalists are outwitted by her demonstrations. Spirit- ualists are delighted. Her exhibitions sur- pass anything previously known in their philosophy. Nobody who has witnessed them doubts the genuineness of her power. Skeptics who have investigated say there is not the slightest trace of deceit in her manifesta- tions, either on her part or the part of those under whose auspices the exhibitions are given. She has confounded the wise and, tem- porarily set at naught the arguments of those who have no faith in spiritualistic teachings. She is a mystery. Miss Rellly resides at Sioux Clty, Io. Her family is well known in that city. She is 19 years old, bright and well educated. None of her family are spiritualists, and the discovery of her apparently wonderful ability to communicate with the spirit would was made purely by accident. Miss Reilly was born at Crete, Neb., and is the youngest of a family of six, all of whom are living. Both father and mother were of Irish parentage, and the children ‘were brought up in the Catholic faith. Several years ago Mr. Reilly retired on a competency and moved to Lincoln, Neb. Three years ago Miss Reilly went to Sioux City to keep house for her brother, T. C, Reflly, telegraph editor of the Stoux City Journal She is 5 feet 6 inches in height and weighs 115 pounds. Her figure is slender, her com- plexion blonde. She cares little for society, but is interested in anything of a literary nature, Among those who have witnessed her per- formances and say they are willing to vouch for them are J. H. Quick and E. H. Hub- bard, lawyers; J. Perrin Johnson, physician; W. J. Grandy, banker; William Magivney, Assistant Manager of the Sloux City Stock Yards; Miss Frances Cobb, teacher, and E. W. Caldwell, city editor of the Sioux City Times, Several months ago, acordling to those who pretend to know, she was sitting ata table with a pencil in one hand. Her arm was resting on a newspaper itn which were several advertisements printed i!n large type. All at once her hand commenced to move involuntarily and the pencil to point out letters., At first she gave the matter no attention, suposing it to be only some kind of nervous affection. Then she ob- served that the letters indicated were in such sequence as to spell out words and coherent sentences. As a test she wrote out the alphabet, and, using the pencil as a pointer, received several communications of an astounding nature. Recently she has experimented by sitting at a typewriter and receiving messages through the keyboard, Sometimes the keys are struck with sufficient force to turn out copy from the machine, but ordinarily the letters are merely pointed out, and Miss Reilly calls them out while a friend records them, Some of these messages are of no mean literary merit. While Miss Reilly is a young woman of good education, she has never displayed any such facility in com- position or such felicity of expression that indicated in some of her ‘‘communica- tions.”’ as The unknown sp'irit whose suppose! mes- sages she records at times fumes various but the address is invariably given Among its names, as hell. ~~ SUNDAY MORNING—ST.

Thus, in Dante’s hell, the damned soul of Fran- cesca, blown here and there by roaring winds, says that the worst torture of the place is the remembrance of lost happiness. But this theory has never been & poplar one. As a rule, people heve never been willing to accept a hell of mere mental tor- ture and spiritual anguish. They have in- sisted on fire and brimstone, pitehforks and gridirons. One of the most elaborate d escriptions of hell on record, and without doubt the most authentic {nm any standard authority, is "1 given by the Venera bie Rede in his Ea siastical History.

When asked to describe the tortures of hell, the supposed spirit delivered itself of this remarkable production: “A nameless, voiceless, never-ceasing re- gret. An agony without a name for some- one or something forgotten. Dreartness un- speakable. A restless longing for I know not what.’’ ‘‘Have you any physical sensations?” ‘ “Sometimes I seem to have. They are all of pain. Pain caused by extreme terror and hardly separated from mental anguish.” “You speak of terror. Of what?” “The awful shapes and frightful sounds that glide and ring through hell. Moans and cries that have no fitting name to ex- press the terror they inspire.” ‘Do you try to avoid them?” “Yes. I avold one by flying to another. There is no escape. Sometimes there is a stillness that you of the world have never known. Everything ts nothing, and yet you exist in wonder and horror. It is as if you were a new-born child with the mind of a man. You cannot prove existence by sight, sound, taste, feeling, or reason. Yet you know you are something, somewhere, with an overpowering desire to use all your fac- ulties and no power to do so, Oh, the awfulness of being nothing, and yet remem. bering you were something.”’ “What foundation is there for the doc- trine of hell fire?’ “It is all a crude mind can concelve as terrible. I would like to burn. It would be something real. Your reason is only a power given you to accustom you to your surroundings. Life without reason {fs hell.” “But you have reason.”’ “But not the power to make my sur- roundings seem familiar. I can never quite decide if a thing has power to harm me.” “What things?’ ‘“Shrieking winds. Darkness. Hideous, ghastly shapes. They never have harmed me, but still I fear them. In Nfe I should have ceased noticing them long ago when I found them harmless.” “Any way of avoiding them?” “I don’t know. I know nothing except that I am here. I do not even know that. I can only say I think I am here or maybe that I think I think I am here. I am a livy- ing spark of anguish that was once some- one somewhere, I think.” Many hypotheses have been advanced by scientists acquainted with the case to ac- count for these strange manifestations. Spiritualists are satisfied that the presence is just what it professes to be—a tortured soul from the nether world. Materlalists confess themselves puzzled. They endeavor to account for the phenomena on the “‘sub- jective mind” theory. Miss Rellly, they maintain, must somewhere have read or heard all the sayings attributed to the spir- it. Having forgotten them, she is reproduc- ing them from some recess of her mind where they have remained on file, unknown even to herself. The young woman does not seek to com- bat this explanation. She merely avers that if she ever heard any of the strange utterances it must have been in her sleep,. as she never remembers to have seen or listened to them before. The rankest skep- tic concedes that to suppose her the perpe- trator of a willful deception is ridiculous. A few of the learned men who have wit- nessed the manifestations are of opinion that the observations are the composite thoughts of all those present at the seances. Miss Rellly is extremely unwilling to give exhibitions of her power to strangers, and only a select few are admitted to the sit- tings. The young lady has been repeatedly urged to visit other cities, Liberal com- pensation and wide Increase of reputation are promised. She not only refuses ali such offers, but threatens, in case they are continued,, to stop her performances alto- gether. Interested persons, however, will try to induce her to give a private exhibi- tion for the benefit of Bastern paycholo- gists. They may be able to determine the source of these strange manifestations, but at present Miss Kelilly is the wonder of the day. ‘ ee) -——_— ee se eee ee lied over night, but -was allowed to re- n to life next morning.

This was not hell, however, vut only its ves- tibule. Hell itself was a vast abyss, full of smoke, flames and bad smells. THEORIES The darkness was complete, but through it rose globes of fire through which the souls of the damned could be seen writhing. Other souls were thrown up from the pit as showers of sparks are thrown up when a fire ie stirred, but only to fall back again. A gang of devils passed him, dragging “the howling and lamenting souls of men” and soon a squad of these demons surrounded him, threatening him “with glaring eyes ind fire which proceeded from their nos- They were armed with hot tongs rs but were prevented from grasp- | ing him and he rescued by an angel It is hardly me to quote at iength Bede's testimony that the returned sinner afterwards led a@ most exemplary and religious life. The idea of hall and snow in hell belongs to cold countries. The hell of the Norse- ei iriis was finally essary originally a place of intense cold and dark- ness. Our word “hell” itself is derived ' from an old Norse word closely related to “hole’ and meaning a “shut-in” place or cavern under the earth. In the Norse hell, there are icebergs everywhere with venom- ous enakes crawling in and out among ther. This place, called Nostrand, was the low- est hell, set apart for the worst criminals and for cowards. It was governed by Hela, the goddess of death—a pale specter who sat on a throne made of skulis and dead men's bones, wattled together with living snakes. From the mouths of these snakes dripped venom which made several large rivers, dividing th's part of the universe from the “middle-yard” or earth and from ABOUT the “god-yard” or heaven. Every Norse- man who died in battle “with his boots on" went to heaven and drank beer out of cups made from the skulls of his enemies. Those who ran away and d:ed in their beds went to the worst hell Hela, although supreme in hell, was not » devil. The Norse devil was named Nid- | hogg. and the still higher type of evil was | Loke. a base and cunning spirit whose son, Fenris. wolf, is tied. at present.

The oldest theory of hell known outside of the Bible records ia that of the eartiest Greeks, whose hell was a place of foga and darknesa, beyond the ocehn, where the ghosts of men and women wander in the perpetual dissatisfaction of trying vainly te do over what they most loved to do on earth. When a sheep is killed and its blood allowed to run into a trench, these ghosts swarm around and drink until they are able to talk. One of them thus restored to ani- mation and congc'ousness declared that It is better to be the vilest slave on earth than the lord of all hell. The hell of the educated Buddhists is something on this order. It consists of @ series of horrible nightmares, during which the soul lives through centuries of struggle, in what 't thinks is one real life after an- other. One damned soul in this infernal HELL. nightmare strives ¢t acquire immense riches, and on getting them commits gsul- cide and throws himeelf cown into a lowes hell. Another bends all hile energ ¢e to make himeelf a king or to become so great that he can compel others obey him Just as he thinks he t# about to gratify his amb tion, he finds that it le all only an infernal dream and that he will soon have to go into another nightmare which his own actions have made still worse, to | | 2 tween the earth and the heaven.” GLOOM. ZACHARIAH SAW WOMEN ANGELS. President of Urbana University Says There Are Females Who Wear Wings. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your issue of Sunday, July 18, you have & series of interviews on the question: “Are there no women angels in heaven?’ Al most all take the ground that there is no sex in heaven and that angels are not from men, I beg to submit some testimony in the opposite direction. A number of the ministers say the Bible has no direct teach- ing on the subject. If you will turn to the Prophet Zachariah you will there find that the prophet sees in vision a number of things, among which are female angels. In the fifth chapter and the ninth. verse we read: “Then lifted I up mine eyes and locked, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of «a ork; and they lifted up the ephah be- Gener- ally where angels are inentioned their sex is not referred to, except that when a pro- noun is used it is generally masculine, This, with the above passage, shows that angels do have sex. Moreover, we have clear teaching that angels are men and women who have de- in the spiritual world. Jobn in the Book of Revelation distinctly says that the things which he there describes were seen in the spirit. He says: “I was in the spirit on the Lord's day,” and then follows. a description of things seen and heard in the vision. In the fifth, sixth and seventh chap- ters of Revelation are described & multi- tude of angels clothed in white robes. who had been redeemed and who came out of great tribulation and had washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Again, in the nineteenth chapter and the tenth verse John says: “TI fell at his feet (the angel's) to worship him; and he sald unto me, see thou do it not; I am thy fellow-servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus; worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the epirit of prophecy.”” And again in the last chapter of the ange! which showed me these things. and heard them; and when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me thesethinga, Then saith he unto me, see thou do it not; for I am thy fellow-servant and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of the book; worship God.” The angel ia referred to as he. He was from the world, being of John's brethren the prophets. The angels previously mentioned were “redeemed from the earth,” and “re- deemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.” These things clearly prove that angels were once men, and that male and female angeis exist in the other life. Sex id not only a physical fact fn creation; it aleo penetrates to the ‘nmost organism of human minds; !t is a mental character- istic, differentiating men and women and Involving the desire of ‘reciprocal conjunc- tion of m!nds, a love of mutual helpfulness of two different qualities and characteris- tics. Sex was given to man (Adam meaning both man and woman) at creation. When a man or a woman casts off the outer body at death he or she retains all the mental qualities and nature possessed before. He loves and feels as before and of all the noble feelings given to man by the Creator none surpasses, yea equals the mutual and reciprocal love of husband and wife and this love is exalted in the Bible to the high- est place and protected by the most solemn ceremonies and vows. Is it probable or possible, after having developed end cul- tivated these sexual relationships and feel- ings throughout life here that God either would or could destroy all these things from human nature? They are a part of human nature on earth, they ennoble man, render him unselfish, cause him to regard another more than himeelf. On this earth in a true marriage the hearts, minds and iives of true partners are so united that they are not separated by death, and when one is gone before the other looks forward to being reunited in the other life with the vreed from the gross surround e Le WHITHHEAD.

18 SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 15, 1897. ~ eatuted + SHOULD A MINISTER RECEIVE St. Louis Preachers Deny That in Accepting Safaries They Are Ungodly, and Attack the Rev. Logan Chase. to say that he wanted his pastor to walk on EV. LOGAN CHASE of New Haven, K Conn., believes that it is all wrong for a Christian minister to accept a salary for preaching; that it is ungodly and unscriptural; and that the minister called of God to do his work should leave the question of the support of himself and fam- fly, and the education of his children, en- tirely in the Lord’s hands, He is living in accordance with his convictions. He works among the tramps. He eats with them, dresses like them, and is practically one of them. He works when he can get work, and with his small earnings he supports himself frugally ahd spends the rest in feeding the hungry. How St. Louls clergy- snen regard his gospel is here shown in thelr own words: Rev. W. R. L. Smith, Pastor of Third Baptist Church: “T would not trust that man a single inch, Hie may be a good sort of man, but he has no sense. I knew a preacher once who took that position and his congregation dism ssed him. A crank of that kind always has other oddities and quiddities which make him ob- jectionable. He can quote Scr’ pture to sup- port his position, but the Bible can be quoted by any fool tn the land. “T know of a hundred min sters who are barely making living salaries to one who is getting $1,000 more than he needs. “Some of the pastors of the best chusch. es in St. Louies are just making a decent living. And a pastor must live decently and dress decently to maintain his dignity and ¢hatof the church. “IT do not know of any preachers who re- eign a charge to accept another only for an dncreased salary, but I know of many who have refused calls with higher salaries. Often a minister changes because he can en- large his sphere of usefulness by s0 doing. This is a question greatly misunderstood. There are circumstances under which a minister !s justified 1n making a change for a higher salary. He owes a duty to his family—there Scriptural warrant for that, you know. If by a change he can pro- mote their health, or go where he can ob- tain better schoo) facilities for his children, it would be his duty to go. On the other hand, I would not go from a city, with all its advantages, to the backwoods for $10,- @0 year. At the same time, I should say that for a minister to resign a charge when he was doing good to accept another with @ large salary, from purely selfish motives, ds all wrong. “It is hard to say what !s a fair salary for @ preacher. I get $3,600 a year. Iam paying for a home. I carry a small insurance. I am educating my children. There are the cal's of charity and all of it goes by the end of the year. “The matter of a preacher's perquisites is greatly exaggerated. With a church of a thousand members, my perquisites last year amounted to just $10. Marriage fees are about the only perquisites a preacher re- cetves. JI accepted fees from two funerals last year. I did not want to do so, but did mot know how to refuse without giving of- fense. “I expect Chase has no family nor respon- sibilities and is at home wherever he sets down his grip. It is that kind of man who makes such statements. If he feels he has @ call to minister to tramps he has a right to follow his convictions, but he has no right to lay down a rule for the entire clergy.’ Rev. John Mathews, D. D., Pastor of Centenary Methodist Episcopal Churc® South: “The Bible says that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Paul accepted pay and tn one of his epistles when one church did not pay him, and another sent for him from a dis- tance, he magnified that church for its con- tributions. “Preachers must live, and their congrega- tlons contribute of thelr substance to en- able them to live as they do themselves. I ‘Ss as fine a carpet, live in as good a house, and eat as good food ae he did himself, and he gave accordingly. “Most of these eccentric utterances, these side thrusts at the ministry, are made by men of no intellectual ability, or moral worth In our church no contracts are made, The minister must go where the conference sends him, and the church board meets and allows so much for the his term whether he likes it or not. support of the preacher. That he must take without question, and must fill out This accounts for the fact that Methodist preachers are paid smaller salaries than those of other denominations. St. Louts pays the highest salaries of the entire Methodist Church South, and the highest salary paid here is $4,000. “I cannot say what is a fair salary. I know that when I was ina smaller place, on less galary, I could save more than I do now. Our congregations pay us a salary large enough to live and to raise our chil- dren in a befitting manner. Our wives and daughters must belong to all the church societies and pay their dues like other mem- bers. Charity calls are frequent and there are many ways of getting rid of our sal- aries. The Methodist Church South provides parsonages for its ministers, as a general thing, but I do not lve at the parsonage, and it is rented out. “All my perquisites from wedding fees I turn over to my wife. I have just married a couple. If I do not think to turn the cash over to Mrs. Mathews she will remind me soon by asking me how much I got.” Rev. R. M. Sargent, supplying Central Congregational Church: “Jesus says that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Paul says: ‘Him that is taught in the word shall communicate (meaning con- tribute) with him that teacheth.’ Paul also maintained his right to receive a salary, but at Corinth he would not accept it because he feared they would suspect him of coming there just to get money. “Cranks, like Chase, base their theories on the command to the disciples to take no scrip nor purse, but this was a specific com- mand when they were starting on a journey. The changed condition of society require changes in church economy and government. A preacher must meet his bills for the sup- port of his family to be honest, or else cheat his creditors. It is required by a civilized community that a preacher make a decent appearance, and that he educate his chil- dren. “It is certainly better that the preacher have a regular salary than depend on the irregular gifts of his friends and members. It is better for him and better for them. “What is a fair salary? It is impossible to say. This church pays $3,000 a year with- out a parsonage, but I was better off when I got $500 a year and a parsonage forty-five years ago in a rural community, where I could keep a cow and chickens and live cheaply. “Now, as to accepting calls at a higher salary, I do not believe it should be done from selfish motives entirely, but if the peo- ple complain of a minister leaving them, why don’t they pay more? “Ministers are not overpaid. They are underpaid. I do not know a minister who. with the same talents and energy, could not have made more money in any other remember a man in New Orleans who used | profession. Changes are made by ministers generally to go to a fleld of greater use- fulness, but I think it may be a preach- er’s duty to accept a call at a higher sal- ary if he is not getting enough to dea! justly by his family. There is a preacher in Cheltenham who Is getting $700 a year, and out of that he pays $15 a month rent, leaving him a little over $40 a month to live on. “The perquisites of a preacher are over- estimated. People in fashionable life, able to pay good fees, do not marry any more. When they do they do not have children. it | CHASE TO BROTHER MINISTERS. “I do not see how any minister of the gos- pel can accept a sal- ary for preaching. To do so is worse than blasphemy.” “What if Christ had put a price upon His services! The height of wungodliness is reached by a min- ister who will give up one charge and go to another be- cause the salary is greater.” “A man’s family should not stand in his way of doing the greatest good and gaining the greatest reward.” “Education is a minor consideration. If it is needed the Lord will provide it. Mind you, though, I do not say that all people should do as I am doing.” THE Rev. Cc tan PaoTtea, oe oo > Pratoe’ oe. — ‘ee , is a sad state of affairs, but it is true. With smaller families the marriage rate in the fashionable world decreases. My experi- ence ig that there are not half the mar- riages now there were when I was young in the ministry.’’ Rev. Mosheim Rhodes, Pastor of St. Mark’s English Lutheran Church: “T suppose the salary question is subject to abuse, but to say that a preacher should not preach for a salary is the acme of fanaticism. The gospel makes it clear ‘that the laborer is worthy of his hire, and there must be some way of getting it. Religion re- quires us to provide for our own, and the preacher is justified in doing so, if fitted for his work. A man who gives his life to his work and has bven at great expense in pre- paring himsel, for it, should be recom- pensed for his labors. “The clergy are not overpaid.

The salary of a priest depends wholly on his parish. If it falls short it is not made good by the church at large. If the parish is poor, the pay is poor. Take this parish for instance.

Evans, District Com- mander Salvation Army: “T cannot see that it is wrong to accept a salary based on the ability of a congregation to pay. Nor dol see that the acceptance of a salary need interfere with conscientious work for the master. “Most of these people who rail against preachers’ salaries have never been in a po- sition to make one themselves. Because of that fact, they want no one else to Rave them—a sort of dog in the manger principle. “The Salvation Army places a limit on sal- aries, but does not guarantee the payment of any.

Even Archbishop Corrigan, who is something of a mediaeval. church- man, is not altogether beyond our ken. But Bishop Bona- cum stumps the lay observer of things ecclesiastical.” HE storm center of the American Cath- Olic hierarchy is in Lincoln, Neb. It has been there year in and year out for nearly a decade. Within a fortnight Bishop Bonacum and his vicar general broke into the pastoral residencé at Tecum- seh, Neb, the vicar general opening a win- dow and pulling the bishop in after him. They had gone to the place to install a pastor In place of Fr. Fitzgerald, who had been sent by Mer. Martinelli to a monas- tery for contumacy. The parishioners sided with the discip- lined priest-and ordered the authorities to arrest the ecclesiastical intruders. The Bishop's office was respected, but his vicar, Dr. Hartig, was arrested and fined $25 for trespass. For seven years the fight between the Bishop and his priests of Lincoln diocese has waged with fury and bitterness. Archbishop Kenrick, who was responsi- ble for Bishop Bonacum’s elevation, kept the war beneath the surface while his mind was clear. Then Archbishop Hennessey tried to quell the fight. Mer. Satolli gave it his personal attention. He quieted the prieste, but could not muzzle the Bishop. Mgr. Martinelli has the brot] on his hands now. Priest Immured for Contumacy. A month ago he sent Frs. Fitzgerald and Murphy to a monastery. In his decision he ordered the Bishop to give to priests who had fought him places ae good as those they held before their retirement. He re- served the right to name the place and date of their retirement. They were hardly in the cloister before Bishop Bonacum had it proclaimed that he himself had sent them to the monastery and had named the place and time of their punishment. When the priests’ month of penance is over they will probably report this action on his part to the delegate and the quarrel will go on. The trustees of Bishop Bonacum or his priests have attracted national attention more. through their pugnacity than the is- sues involved. No great principle of church policy or doctrine has ever been at issue as in the movements that occasionally made Archbishop Ireland the storm center of the American Church. The Bishop's opponents have not been men of high caliber like Dr. McGlynn, Burt- sell and Ducey, whose controversies with Archbishop Corrigan are historic. Nothing succeeds like excess, eays the decadent epigrammatist, and in that light Bishop Bonacum’s troubles have attained national interest. After the retirement of Archbishop Ken- rick, turmoil broke out all along the line. Priests were suspended right and left. Charges were hurled back at the Bishop. The coming of ‘Archbishop Satolli ne awaited to bring light. What it did do was - —- —— eee a —_—e— Aa “iii ee = Re CG VEN : a me a , “Ne TOME LET A to bring to an issue the trial of the Bishop on the following charges: Charges of the Priests. Maladministration. Tyranny. Oppression. Insubordination. Inciting strife. Scandal and libel. Arbitrary exercise and abuse of power. Violation of diocesan statutes. Misappropriation. Falsehood. Speculation. Undue influence, Unjust favoritism. Scandal. Incitation to perjury. These are the charges sworn to by fifteen of the thirty-two priests of the diocese of Lincoln, Neb., against their Bishop, Thomas Bonacum, before Apostolic Delegate Mer. Satolli. They were backed up by 115 spec- ifications and the testimony of nearly 10 witr.esses. ; Three years have elapsed since the charges were filed. Bishop Bonacum atill rules the diocese of Lincoln. Of the fifteen priests who signed the charges, some are serving the churches in other sees. Some are still in the diocese of Lincoln with the shield of the apostolic delegation between them and the wrath of their ordinary. The priests, once a turbulent and talkative set of men, have become quiet as the grave. The Bishop alene pursues the uneven tenor of his ways, suspending at least one priest a month. To the secular mind, Bishop Bonacum is the most interesting figure in the Ameri- can church. For all their mora) strength and intellectual greatness Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland are very human creatures. Even Archbishop Corrigan, who is something of a mediaeval churchman, fs not altogether beyond our |ken. But Bishop Bonacum stumps the lay observer of things ecclesiastical. Satolli’s Judgment. Mer. Satolli reviewed the charges and con- cluded that the blame lay on both sides. Bishop and priests were disciplined. The suspensions and excommunications that the bishop had hurled abeut were lifted. Both Bishop and priests were told to do penance for their unruly tempers and their unchari- table tongues, Both were made to promise that they would avoid whatever would tend to public scandal, The priests were promised proteo- tion and the Bishop was ordered to act with- in the rules of the council) of Baltimore in governing his diocese. | As further protection the delegate made Bishop Bonacum sign an agreement to keep the peace. By the terms of this document he was to “forget and condon@” the actions of his priests, and do nothing against the com- plainants.

Loughran from the pro-cathedral of Lincoln, the dismissal of Fr. Quinn and various summary pro- ceedings against Fr. Corbett of Palmyra, Neb. In every instance the priests refused to obey the orders of dismissal and were sustained by Mer. Satolll. Fr, Corbett has been dismissed several times. He always held out for his rights and beat the Bishop in both the civil and ecclesiastical courts. He finally concluded he could serve God better in a diocese where he was not always at war with his bishop, and secured a transfer to the diocese of Buffalo, N. Y. The Story of Fr. Corbett. Fr. Corbett was the particular object of Bishop Bonacum’'s animadversion. The se- cret of their falling out is interesting. Shortly after Bishop Bonacum’s ordina- tion In St. John’s Church, St. Louls, and his removal to Lincoln, he brought the priests of his diocese together and said he was go- ing to build a Bishop's house. He an- nounce’ a certain assessment for the pur- pose out of parochial funds, Fr. Corbett insisted on knowing where the residence was to be built, why the house was to be located in that spot, from whom and for how much the property was to be purchased. The Bishop got down from his chair and, walking across the room to Fr. Corbett, shook his finger under his nose and called him “an impertinent fellow.” Fr. Corbett’s talk had its effect. The priests voted down the proposition to bulid a Bishop's house. Within six months Father Corbett was suspended. The Bishop did not notify him officially, but had handbills printed and circulated at the church door notifying the congregation that their pastor was sus- pended. Father Corbett went right on holding service, but had the Bishop arrested for criminal Hbel. The case was dismissed, as the Judge held he had no jurisdiction. Bishop Bonacum retaliated by excommu.- nicating the priest and instituting proceed- ings in the civil court to restrain him from drawing funds of the church from bank and from holding service in the church. There was recrimination of all sorts and before the controversy was ended fifteen priests, almost half the clergy in the diocese, were under the ban of sus- pension. An Unrelenting Fighter. When the priests were protected by Maer. Satolli, who told them the only possible so- lution of the difficulty was the Bishop's re- moval, they acquiesced in every injune- tion he laid before them. Not so their Bishop. He is still in turmo!! with his priests and the civil courts of his diocese. “What will be done with Bishop Bona- cum?” was asked a well-informed clergy- man and canonist. — es - - “There's the puzzle of the American hier- es & “The Bishop isa smug-looking little gentleman, about five fect atx inches tall.

Archbishop Ken- rick made him his private theologian at the Baitimore Counell. Bishop Bonacum was born near Thurtles, in the County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Jan. 29, .187. His parents were German. They brought him to St. Louls when he was a year old. His father and brother were tinners. He essayed to learn the trade, but was discharged after a week's appren- ticeship. He then went to the Salesianum at Milwaukee, and after completing his studies there took his course In philosophy and theology at St. Vincent's Seminary at Cape Girardeau. He was ordained June 14, 1870, in St. Louls by Bishop Melchers in the absence of Archbishop Kenrick. He then went abroad and studied at the Uni- versity of Wurzbugg under the famous Dr. Hettinger. On his return to St. Louls he was made pastor of the Churoh of the Holy Name. His First Controversy. When the See of Belleville was created Archbishop Kenrick had him named as one of the condidates, but the cholce fell on Bishop Janasens. Later the Bee of Lin- coln was erected and Rome named him as first incusnbent. Before episcopal honors reached him Bishop Bonacum had made a stir. When Bishop Bourke of St. Joseph, who was then at Cheyenne, claimed that the see was not able to support a bishop, Arehbishop Ken- rick sent Fr. Bonacum out to investigate. He reported that the place had a great fu- ture. He claimed that Cheyenne would become the Pittsburg of the West, as it was the center of the greatest coal field in the States. He sald that an ener- getic bishop could make a record in the place. Bishop Bourke took exception to the re port and replied to it in a published letter, in which he called Fr.

Even doctors are not agreed as to the causes of hay fever except that hay has no direct connection with it. The most gener- ally accepted theory is that it is caused by the pollen or fine dust blown from flowers which bloom at this time of the year. A slight breeze will carry this dust for miles, even into the cities, where autumn flowers are a luxury. Other physicians believe that it is due solely to climatic conditions. Su- perintendent Sutter of the City Hospital is of this opinion. The sovereign remedy for hay fever ts change of climate.

20 SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LQUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST oe ae 7 15, 1897. -~_ | “ a —_—_—_—_ HE life of Quanah Parker, the Co- ig manche chief who was murdered near Navajo, O. T., a few days ago, reads like a romance of the old-fashioned Feni- more Cooper type. Notwithstanding his half-white ancestry, Quanah was the bodiment in character and physique of the em- fdeal American red man. He was fully 6 feet tall, firm mouth and a with a strong, aguiline nose, a large, dignity of bearing as he stood erect with his Splendid figure, which had something of the blankets draped gracefully about his ol4 Roman in its massive, virile dignity. His high, compact forehead was a true in- Cication of his mental strength, for he was unguestionably a man far above the aver- age ability. He not only could read and write the English language, but he had a distinct poetical bent, and produced great numbers of verses, many of them dedicated to his mother. The fondness for his mother and a keen sense of humor, kept very much In restraint from the conventional Indian notions of dig- nity, were about the only two things which clearly showed the Caucasian blood in his his veins, In other respects he was an Indian pure and simple, so far at least as all exter- nal manifestations were concerned. It is not at all tnprobable that a man of Quanah's keen intellect may have plainly seen the advaniag of casting his lot with the red instead of white men. Among the negotiations between the whites and the Indians, Quanah was put in the way of accumulating a great deal of property, and he was as alert to take ad- vantage of the fact as any Yankee adven- turer could have been. His holdings when he died could not have been much under a million dollars in value. He had a large mansion at Fort Liel, I. T., bullt somewhat on the Mexican order, but very high and roomy and surrounded by neatly kept grounds. Here Quanah lived with seven of his Indian wives, for on the marriage ques- tion Quanah*held views that would have given him high rank as a faithful follower of Brigham Young had he lived in Salt Lake City during the palmy days of Mormonism. He had other large estates besides the one at Fort Liel, and on all of them he had a liberal eguipment of wives. In the matter of children he would proba. bly be a close second to the Kine of Siam himself, with his seventy odd offspring. But, interesting as was Quanah Parker's personality, the real romance of his life went back to that white mother, whom he \\\ te avi! AN |verse-making. Cynthia Ann Parker wag his mother’s name, and she was the daugh’er of Gen. Isaac Parker, a distingu'shed Texas politician, Who fifty years ago was living in } the township of Weatherford, Parker Coun- ty, the county be'ng named in his honor, At that time the Comanche Indians were at their worst, andthe Comanche worst wasa very bad worst. They were a roving b'o-4- thirsty, marauding band, forever wandering over the whole Southwest, from ‘the Staked Plains to Nebraska; from the Colorado Mountains to the wilds of Arkansas. They attacked and fought everybody they came across, and their name was a terror not only to the white settlers, but to other Indian tribes as well. One night, with the blood-curdling yell which had so long brought terror to the homes of peaceful white pioneers, they came down with a rush upon the ranch of Col. Parker and Weatherford. There was a furious resistance and Col. Parker and his family succeeded in escaping—that is, all es- caped save one. When the Cdlonel came to gather his panting little brood around him it was found that one, the little 4 year-old child Cynthia Ann, was missing. The Comanches after sacking and burning the ranch had galloped away, carrying the child with them. For years Col; Parker hunted for her. Texan rangers scoured the Indian country but could get no clew to any white child being held a- prisoner by the Indians, Col. Parker gave up his child as hopelessly lost. Some years later L. P.. Ross, now ex-Gov. Ross, of Texas, was leading a fearless band of rangers in a hard chase after the Co- manches to punish them for recent depre- dations. They caught up with the main body of them, under the lead of Chief Quanah. After a few sharp skirmishes, Quanah, after the manner of knights of the middle ages, sent to the whites his own personal challenge, He wouid fight the white leader hand to hand and thus settle the matter, both sides to agree to abide by | the result as final. Ross accepted the chal- OF AIS LIFE A COAANCAL CAIBF WAOSE OTHER WAS - STOLEN WHEN AE LED AFIE WAITES, Accyu -=-AND A FP i” ; erat i“ %, * SH), y y/ Cn Mf L>% SOOO BP ied gg titan RIAATTOET KT ; C4 AA A CAILD RCE MOL AT EDA AD Six Quanae ParKEeRs . — eet | ee TTATVAt Zp if Y (Zz Rit = * "i 7 if mM AMG | ek : ee aed == i SSS — — -—— PVs enemnsed -_—- - THE 'OREEN CORN A WRITE WOMAN Se, WAR AOAINST THE FORTUNE MQANt = } = a ; 7 Yr aX, 8 WD" eS ve iy Phd as a Se yh Ay; { , . to talk with her.

Several of the Indians begged permission to go along with her to bring her back in case she was not wanted, and to this the rangers con- Sented. So thus after many years Cynthia Ann Parker, who had been taken away a civ- flized little white child, returned to her father’s house a bronzed, weather-beaten Indian squaw with a pappoose strapped to a board and dangling at her back. That pappoose was the Quanah Parker whose tragic death has just been related in the telegraphic dispatches from Oklahoma, When old man Parker heard all that the rangers had to say, and took a long stead- fast look at the cowering, savage creature they had brought homme with them, he, too, became convinced that it might be his own child whom he had so long sought and so long mourned as dead. There was a some- thing about the eyes, terrified and savage as they were wnder the tangled hair that fell over them, which reminded him of his dead wife, the poor creature’s mother. He tried to coax her to talk. It was no Use. She shrunk away from him, shielding her papoose as though he were bent on killing it. She could understand no English. For days they kept the woman there, dozens of people trying their hands at making her talk. None of them succeeded, until one day a neighbor had the inspiration of get- ting everybody out of the room and calming and quieting the woman as much as possible, Then when he had her quieted and quite calm, he slowly sald aloud, as though speak- ing absently to himself, “Cynthia Ann, Cynthia Ann.” He had reasoned that if there was anything the woman would re- member, it would be her babyhood name. And he was not mistaken. Out got the depths of her dull Indian eyes there crept a faint light, and the white squaw bent her with her open hand, repeated twice in @ seemed, to settle herself into the groove of her new surroundings. But it wase vain ef- fort. She soon began to mope and mourn for her old life and for the Indians with whom she had been brought up. One fine morning she and her little brown papoose were missing and were never seen again. She had gone back to the roving Comanches where her heart had been all the time, . But the little civilization she had picked up during her four months sojourp clung to her. She remembered the English lan- guage and taught it to her son, Quaneh, when he grew up—taught him that and gave him many more motherly attentions wun- known to the Simon pure Comanche squaw, and it is this no doubt which made ah so love her all his life. He took her family name, moreover, and became Quanab Par- ker, the Quanah being for his father, who was killed in the handrto-hand fight with Col. Ross. Quanah did not like to talk about the cap- tivity of his mother, but when pressed on the subject he always said that her cap- tivity was the best thing phat could have happened to her. He was Indian to the very core, He was a eavage fighter against the whites, and became noted for a careless, light-hearted, dare-devil sort of courage which was quite in contrast with the stealthy, deadly character of Indian war- fare, and which very strongly hinted at the Anglo-Saxon blood in his veins. He had, moreover, the Southern white man’s con- tempt for a negro, and when negro s0l- diers were killed by his band in dattle he would never allow them to be ecaiped. They were not worthy of the honor—there was no glory in killing them. But when peace was declared Quanan became as good a citizen as he had been 4 soldier. The town of Quanah, Tex., was named for him, and he gave considerable sums of money to the public institutions of the town, He accumulated property quite rapidly and he knew how to take care of it when he got it. But he was generous withal, and had hosts of friends among the whites, while emong the Co- manches he was looked to as & sort of demi-god. Quanah was very little acoustomed to the ways of civilized life, notwithstanding his wealth and his great mansion. Whenever he looked. at a picture, he always had «4 weakness towards feeling and looking be- hind it to see if the person or object was not in some way there, and the Fellow- Jacket, the one father-in-law he loved low monotone “Cynthia Ann,” “Cynthia Ann.” There was no doubt after this, and slowly \the savage woman was led back as far to- words civilization as ehe could be brought. She learned English readily and tried, ff more than all the dozen or so others he had, died by blowing out the gas In a Fort Worth hotel room where they slept. Quan- ah, himself, had a close shave from suffo- cation and was groggy for @ number of days after. _ a — ~~ —— —— - “POKER IS THE SCIENCE Fe cneepemnndiienenanene A Man Who Won 100,000 in a Sing! $100,000 in a Single Game Tells How | ‘ to Play for Big Stakes.

Physicians have sounded warnings from Rime to time of the terrible increase of co- caine ‘‘fiends,”” but than to perhaps suggest to some foolish woman to test it for herself to her undoing.

He visited the Wholesale drug houses and found that they had noted an enormous iIncrease in the sale of the drug. One house had received single orders for as much as } ounces from retail Physicians prescribe the drug without result other Grug stores. Only rarely and then in the smallest quan- tities. The large sales indicate a vast num- ber of habitual users. At his suggestion the board adopted a res- Slution directing him to prepare and sub- iit to the Assembly a bill to regulate the traffic in the drug. The provisions of the bill will be stringent. It will not permit the sale of cocaine even to the extent that other “habit’’ drugs are permitted be sold. Unlike Which can be obtained by the purchaser to morphine, reg'stering name and address at the drug nly be permitted to be gold on the cabs sid of a registered and feputable physician.

ELLE FLANNIGAN was the wicked- B est woman in 8t. Louls. She died at the luxurious flat at 1108 Franklin avenue last Tuesday night and was buried Wednesday. On the body were the marks of thirty bullet wounds, and her death nolle prossed an indictment charging her with assault with intent to kill. Much of her life was spent in prison, and there was perhaps not a woman in the city better known to the police than she. Despite her character and record, she partly raised two pretty little white girls, the daughters of a Texas rancher, who gave them to Belle when they were very young, because of the !ll-fame of the motHer, & 5 \ a * <y, DIAGRAMS SHOWING WHERE These children have been sent to Moberly, Mo., the birthplace of Belle Flannigan, and the home of her aged parents. Notwithstanding the number of bullet wounds the woman received in her exciting career, she lived through all of them to dle of a mere congestion of the main artery leading from the heart to the head. Belle Flannigan would never tell her age, but she was about 35 years old, though she appeared to be 15 years younger. She regretted her color. She hated ne- groea and wouldn't associate with them under any circumstances. She unfaltering- ly claimed that she was as good as any white woman, and this opinion wag one cause of the turbulency of her career. Belle was born a servant in a farmer's family in Central Missouri. A son of the farmer was the father of her first child, and that child, now a young woman, is em- ployed as chambermaid in a house on Pine street. When she became a mother Belle was only 16 years old. The farmer placed her and her babe ona train and sent them into St. Louis. From the time she arrived here Belle’s life was dotted with crime and It developed into one long stretch of ein. She was never accused of theft. She pald her debts and had the reputation of be- ing scrupulously honest. Her one ambition tn life was to soar above the heads of her equally sinful black ais- ters. She hated them for their color, and she railed at faith for the accident of birth that made her black. She courted the com. pany of the white, and during her long career that waa her one object in living. What there was about Belle Flannigan to attract Is a mystery. She was slender, almost skinny; her complexion was a dark, olly brown; more than half of her teeth were missing, and there remained but one solitary tooth in front. She stuttered badly and as ehe lisped the saliva dribbled from the zorners of her mouth. Her hair was of the ordinary short, kinky kind, and her tongue was as foul as was ever put In a woman's head. Every other word was blasphemy. But she was a dresser. She wore silk and had a dress for every day in the month. Her clothes were of the very best material and they were fitted to her by a ladies’ tailor. Her millinery was the advance of fashion. “Why shouldn't I wear these flufferings?” Belle asked. “Ain't I as good as any white woman?’ Another thing about Belle was that she drank. She did not like the taste of whisky, and made a wry face when she drank it, but she was infatuated with the effect it had on her. With four or five giasses of whisky in her she was convinced that she was just a few degrees better than any white woman, That fact contributed largely to her col- lection of bullet wounds. After serving her first alx months In St. Louts in the work-house for an assault with a knife on a white man. she went to Chi- cago and secured work in a family as ser vant. During a diepute with the son of the household she shot him tn the back and was sent to the Joliet penitentiary. While there she stabbed a brother of the deputy warden and fractured the skull of the matron. Af- ter her release she returned to St. Louls. She had been here a month when she was shot in the arm by a negro whom she had alluded to as common black trash A week In the hospital and she was out to have a quarre! with a white man, She tried to shoot him, but aceldentally shot herself through the foot. When drunk and injured by the brazen and boasted superiority of a white woman, she was ever ready to shoot. She generally carried a revolver in the pocket of her dress skirt. A year and a half ago she became ac- quainted with Richard Hack, who had just been released from the Missouri Peniten- tilary, and who had fallen heirto $50,000 of the ill-gotten gains of his mother. Belle had no use personally for Hack. He was not of the high degree she desired, but she liked his money. One night in the early part of last winter she caught Hack spending his money on a blonde woman of the “Tamale Town” dis- trict at Seventh and Spruce streets, and she shot the woman in the hip and marched off victoriously with Hack. : BELLE FLANNIGAN WAS SHOT (Each of the thirty dots represents a bullet wound, ) Two weeks later the woman, who has since died, met Belle in a wine room at Ninth and Clark avenue and shot her five times, inflicting mostly flesh wounds. Soon after this, and while Belle was in the hos- pital, Hack deserted her for a white wom- an. This answered Belle more than anything else could possibly have done. Two months later she met Hack on Fourteenth street and shot him through the neck. For a long time Hack lay in the hospital, and it was thought he would die, but after several weeks he recovered. Relle was arrested on a charge of assault with intent to kill, and her case on that charge was pending in the Criminal Court when ahe died. The last man whom Belle Flannigas sought to kill was Professional Bondsman John Twiehause. She paid him $10 to #¢ cure her release on bond. The court re fused to accept him, but he kept the $10 and let Belle remain in Jalil. After ehe finally procured bond she hung around the Four Courts for days, armed with a revolver, threatening to shoot Twie- hause on eight. Dr. C. A. Neweomb, of the Clty Dtspen- sary staff, who has probably attended as many of Belle Fiannigan’s bullet wounds as any other physician, says that the rea- son Belle did not die long ago wae because of her remarkable vitality and her refusal to allow herself to believe that she was seriously wounded. Although Belle died tn luxury she had no money. She apent her money for clothes and whisky as «oon as she got it. : INVENTIONS OF COMMERCIAL USE.

For instance, we have two men here who were once wealthy. They lost their money by unfortu- nate speculation, and relatives and friends declared these men became insane because of their losses, By patient inquiry into their habits and history I find their losses were caused by insanity. They were be- ginning to be crazed when they risked their money in foolish schemes. “Now, one of the first symptoms of paresis is a change in the personal habits and judg- ments of men.

He fal- ters in them, hesitates and then decides wrong. “The fine equilibrium of the brain has been disturbed even to the extent of its moral balances. “He is dull and quiescent one hour and hysterically active and nervous the next. “His business begins to fail. “He appreciates the fact and struggles all the harder to save—not himself, but his business. “He doesn’t know there is anything the matter with him—he is only tired. “But he commences to forget so many things. He forgets names and common words and familiar faces. His brain !s beginning to adhere to his frontal bone. He doesn’t know it. He still thinks he is only tired. “A hesitancy comes into his speech and he is surprised to find himself stammering and groping wearily in his mind where he once thought and spoke quickly. “His courage falters. Where he formerly feared no man, he pauses before passing a dark alley at night. He calls it precaution, but he knows it is because he is afraid.” “And what are the physical symptoms of paresis?’’ “Oh, they are many, and so complicated with other diseases of the brain and spine as to be difficult of determinaton. But the neurologist notes the dilated pupil of the eye, the difficulty of respiration and of locomotion. Then there are dizziness, vio- lent headaches and finally hallucinations, “The commonest and surest. sign of paresis is continued difficulty in performing the daily duties which have been a part of one’s life. “When the scientist finds himself unable to make those fine adjustments'‘of his micro- scope he has theretofore performed with ease—let him look out. When the writer finds himself unable to contro] the group of muscles which guide his pen or pencil—let him be careful. It may be only scrivener’s paralysis, but it is just as likely to be paresis. “You will motice the neurologist tapping the Knees of his patient significantly and causing him to walk back and forth, some- times with his eyes shut. He is testing the powers of locomotion, and if he discovers an inclination of the knee to rise higher and more quickly than the patient intended —look out. It may be locomotor ataxia. It is just as likely to be paresis. “Then come the hallucinations, more and more pronounced, for you must understand that this disease is progressive. There are two varieties of the paretic patient—the megalomaniac and the micromaniac. The hallucination of the former ts toward great- ness. He is possessed of great wealth or unlimited power. He owns the world. The latter imagines he is growing smaller and smaller all the time—just fading away from view.

When legitimate modes of obtaining the wherewithal to procure the drug are closed, there remains always the other—robbery, theft. murder, if necessary, and the vicious population of the alley hesitated not when the opportunity offered.

Curtously enough, with all its ample op- portunities for blood letting Hop alley has only furnished three cases of murder with- in the past twelve years, two of these hav- ing occurred during the last two years. Out- side of these, however, the calendar is red with the record of numberless attempts at murder, brutal assauits, stabbings, shoot- ings and clubbings, while the victims of the robber, footpad and sneak-thief are beyond enumeration. Dogene of men and women, too, God save the mark! have been robbed and assaulted in the alley, of whom the reading public has never heard, because the victims preferred to remain quiet rather than gain notoriety by reporting the matter to the police. The first real baptism of blood in Hop alley’s record occurred some twelve years ago, when Lou Johnson, a civilized China- man, was butchered after the manner of the Masseur Guldensuppe in New York. Johnson's head, however, was found buried in a bucket of rice in his own rooms, and his mutilated and dismembered trunk was found hidden under a pile of rubbish in the cellar. Johnson's murderers were never discov- ered, although several Chinamen were ar- rested on suspicion. His death was popu- larly laid at the door of the Highbinders, Wes SiE> esiemie fis: $1581 aye Ay 17 Ab f A ¢ I , IP RESORD OF —s > \ LY who were said to have been sent here from the Pacific Slope, to silence Johnson be- cause of treachery he was alleged to have been gullty of in revealing the secrets of the organization. : This murder had a sequel. The chief wit- ness for the State, a Chinaman, became in- sane from fear of the Highbinders because he had testified. He has been an inmate of the City Insane Asylum ever since. He will sit quiescent for hours at a time. Touch him ever so lightly and his screams can be heard throughout the building. He is the very embodiment of abject fear, and it takes hours to quiet him again. The frail, white paramours of Hop Alley Chinamen were shocked one day in April, 1896, to learn that Dor& Wagner, one of their number, the white mistress of Jeu Jung, a Chinese gambler, had been strang!ed to death in her bed while she slept. Jeu Jung was missing when the dead body with its blackened and distorted features and the tell-tale white indention of the cord in the flesh was found. All Chinatown discussed the murder over thelr tea and pipes, and the other women shivered with apprehension, Dora had been playing fast and loose with Jeu Jung, and had reaped the whirlwind of death. Jeu Jung was brought back from Belle- ville, whither he had fled, and made a full confession. Later he recanted this confes- sion on the advice of Gov. Johnson, his law- yer, and escaped with a sentence of thir- teen years tn the penitentiary. But if the Chinese ceuld be murderously jealous of their white mistresses, so also “4... | een, f | l fy 4 fy4)))' if al - i 7 ut - !

The slaves of the pipe preferred the Intoxication of the drug to the coarser tntgziention of liquor. It is probable that Hop Alley’s red record has been written for all time. The police have ruthlessly stepped in and by their edict against the continuation of the practice of smoking opium have almost depopulated the alley.

The most conservative estimates that can city to-day place it at 800, while many who are conversant with the facts put it at fully 1,200. Nor is it alone in San Francisco that this traffic is being carried on, for ramifications of the Slave Dealers’ Asso- clation extend all over the State. There is not a city or town In California where Chinese live which has not its slaves who are held against their will and in denial of their rights under the constitution of the United States.

Her arms and legs show effects of brutal lashings. Her mind is half imbecile from continued neglect and cruel treatment. T'sau Kuk is 13 years old. She was rescued from a family house in Chinatown. When Miss Ida B. Hull, of the mission, went to rescue this half-de- mented girl the poor creature held out her thin arms, covered with bruises and scars, and cried for deliverance. When she reached the missio Nouse she bared her back, an@ the scars a&#@ Burns told the pitiful story which the ‘weakened brain could scarcely form words to repeat, as the child endeavored to show how she had been pun- ished by her owners. For every infraction of rules of the house she was beaten. For each childish slip she was lashed until blood ran. For misdeeds which seemed graver in the eyes of her master and mistress she was seared with a red-hot iron across her back and shoulders, and then, almost faint- the , ing under the tarture, she was lashed on to her work. Kwan Ho is another inmate of the Mis- sion. She was rescued from the “Chamber of Tranqulility,’’ where she had been left to starve and die, after having her back so beaten with an iron rod that she was crip- pled for life. The “Chamber of Tranquilll- ty’’ is a sort of living morgue, where Chi- nese people suffering from incurable dis- eases are left to die of starvation unat- tended. Wan Kam, who is considered the great beauty of Ch!natown, recelved no bad treat- ment, as she was too valuable. She was sold by her brothey in China and sent to, the United Staces only last year. She re- fused to obey the! orders of her master and finally succeeded|in making her escape to the Methodist home. Her price was $1,700 and her former imaeter made several at- TRAFFIC MEN WEFRESO CARRY BUSINESS AND A GROWN WEALTAY THROUGA I.

Thirty others are cared for at the Pres- byterian Mission on Sacramento street. All except Wan Kam, the beauty, bear marks of ill treatment to which they have been subjected. The women of the missions have had many thrilling adventures in their noble work of rescuing slaves. Several weeks ago Mrs. Lake, matron of the Methodist Home, re- ceived a note from a Chinese girl. The mis- sive was borne by a little boy who turned and ran as soon as he had delivered it. The note, when translated, read: “Please come and save me. I am beaten and abused by everybody. I am a Chinese slave girl. Help or I will diet” The note gave the address of the house at which the girl was restrained. Mrs. Lake en- listed the ald of the police and a time was set for the raid. When the officers arrived at the house they were confronted by a heavily-grated door. This had been left open by the girl, who was awaiting her rescuers. The party dashed up the stairway, but be- fore they could reach the room at the head of the stairs the grated door by which it was entered was slammed shut and the bolts were drawn, while the girl was dragged shrieking away. They could see the helpless slave holding out her arms to them. Then they saw a cloth thrown over her head and all was silent as one of those “Chambers of Tranquility.” The officers battered down the door. but a most careful search of the house failed to reveal any trace of the human chattel. Nor has she ever been heard of since. Death is the punishment meted out to those who attempt to escape from their owners. Mrs. Green, who has been for years con- nected with rescue work in this State, tells several incidents where she has met with opposition on the part of officials. One occurred in Fresno, where she had rescued a girl who had sent word that she was held and subjected to brutal treatment. She secured the girl, but before she could get her out of town a warrant was sworn out charging the slave with larceny. She was arrested and thrown Into prison, but Mrs. Green went with her. That night at midnight the doors of the prison were opened to two Chimese, who forcibly tore the girl away and carried her off despite her strug- gles. The judge on the bench had connived with the Chinese, and Mrs. Green afterward learned that he received $100 for his part in the night’s work. One of the most interesting documents that can be found In connection with Chi- nese slavery is a regular bill of sale, not only signed by the seller, but stamped with the imprint of the thumb as a binding seal tempts to recover her. =o to the bargain. This document, which was OM THE. AVE given to the Post-Dispatch and Sulie day World's correspondent, ts writ- tey on red paper in deep biack ink, and bears the date of “Quong Sul, twelfth year,” which makes it about eleven years old. The girl had been sold four times, and In each instance the previous bills of sale went with her. .When she was res- cued the owner exhibited these bills In or- der to prove that she belonged to him, and they were snatched from his hand and taken away with the girl. The document, a8 trans- lated for the Post-Dispatch anid SBunday World by W. C. Bunner, ex-attache of the Chinese Consulate, here, follows: I write clearly to you that I give this girl to you because I am vory poor. This girl I have born myself She is my own child. Her name is Tsau Fa. She is 7 years old this year. She was born at 1 or 2 o’clock on the 4th day of July. I myself asked my relatives, but none were willing to care for her, Afterwards one go-between named Chung Shi took me to a wonian named Wong Shi. Wong Shi saw my girl and promised to give me $88. Wong Shi gave $88 to Chung Shi and Chung Shi took it away. Wong Shi took her to her house to use. We three people talked the matter over very clearly, not because I owed her any money, nor did she steal the girl. The go-between did not compel me to do it. but I was willing. If there is any troubl« after- wards it is clearly understoo’ by the go-between and the woman that this girl must follow this woman who has bought her, and she is to take care of her until she is larger. The mother cannot ask any questions about her, and the woman is not answerable to the mother for what may be done to the child, or what happens to her, whether she lives or dies, or where she puts her. This paper is gotten up by the mother herself. WONG SHI, QUONG STI, Twelfth Year. The thumb mark was tmprinted adjoining the signature, and indicated that the docu. ment was done In legal form.

The convict ts William E, Hinshaw. Be- fore his conviction he was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in good Standing. He was a circu't rider, a clerical position unknown to the younger genera- tion of city folk. A circuit rider has sev- eral country churches in his charge, gen- erally four, each one not strong enough to support a minister of Its own. He preaches at each church in turn—one Sun- day a month at each church. Rev. W. E. Hinshaw made his residence at Belleville, a village five miles from Dan- Ville, Ind *He was of excellent fam ly; he was well to do for a country preacher; owned a comfortable “home, which was tastefully furnished; had a young wife who adored him; had the love, confidence and respect of the entire community—to what degree will appear later—and altogether his lines seemed to have fallen in pleasant places. He had everything calculated to make a man of his tastes and disposition happy. On the night of January 9, 189%, a pistol shot, and soon another, alarmed the quiet of the peaceful village, followed by cries of “help” and “murder.” They came from the preacher’s house. Startied neighbors ran to the rescue. On the porch they found the unconscious form of the minister's wife. She had been shot in the head, and died without regaining consciousness. A short distance from the house Mr. Thurse Hinshaw was found where he had fallen exhausted in a snow drift. He had been shot through the hip, and stabbed in half a dozen places. When he was restored to consciousness he said that burglars had entered the house by way of the kitchen. They had stolen $10, and were looking for more plunder when Mrs. Hinshaw awoke. One of the burglars shot her in the head. Nevertheless she ME CON convicted of wife | ee by the other men. He received several stab wounds, but continued to fight with his bare hands, until the men ran down the road. He pursued, and it was then that he was shot, and fell on the spot where he was found. Near where he lay was found the empty pocketbook which had contained the $150, and which had been thrown away by the burglars as they ran together with a razor and a revolver. They were identified as the property of Mr. Hin- shaw The story was apparently plausible in every particular. The finding of the empty pocketbook corroborated It. The razor and the revulver could not be accounted for. The wounds received by the minister afford- ed further evidence of fts truth. No one ex- pressed a doubt of it at that time, and the crime was heralded abroad in the press dis- patches as the work of desperate burglars. THE PREACHER SUSPECTED Gaboriau delights in weaving, link by link, a chain of circumstantial evidence, ap- parently unbreakable, around the central figures of his detective stories, only to cun- ningly introduce the real criminal in the last chapter to show the unreliability of evidence based only on oclroumstance. Ga- boriau could have written a book on the Hinshaw murder, so rich were the details in the kind of material he revels in, and the conciusion of the tale is the conclusion he delighted tn. One man alone tn the community doubted the minister's story. He wasa local Hawk- ‘Shaw, Harry C. Webster. He went to work ‘on the case on the theory that the preacher had murdered his wife, and had shot and stabbed himself in places removed from the vital organs, and had thrown the empty pocket-book and razor aw ay, to avert sus- picion and make good his story. Several minor detalis, which had escaped the unprofessional eye, satisfied the deteo- tive that he was on the right track. Although the cries of “help” and “‘mur- sprang from the bed, and grappled with the “ing tor fighting him to the poreb, and cali- unt she fell unconscious. went to ber rescue, but was — . al POCA «eee ‘ a eS 7.2 eh Ss eRe Sato Yoh Sots - ry De | hag a der” were promptly responded to, none of the rescuing party saw any one running from the place. footprints in the light snow which had fallen. At least none was found. With a bullet in her brain it was deemed impossible that Mrs. Hinshaw could have walked from the bed to the porch, fighting as she went, or have called for help. But until he was ready to act the detec- tive did not breathe a word of his sus- picions. For six weeks the hearts of the whole community went out In sympathy to the bereaved minister in the hour of his affliction. Then one day the detective applied for a warrant, charging the Rev. William E. Hin- shaw with murder in the first degree. This step almost precipitated a lynching —not of the alleged murderer, but of the man who had the temerity to make 50 outrageous a charge. The high esteem in which the minister was held was such that for merely suspecting him Harry Webster had to flee for his life, and he barely e8- caped the popular wrath with a whole skin. But he was tenacious of his theory. nied the warrant he asked for, he eucceed- ed in obtaining orders for the exhumation of the body of the murdered woman, and for a post mortem examination of the re- mains. The result of the post mortem developed facts tending to establish the detective’s theory. The wounds on her body could have been inflicted while she was in bed, as her husband all along declared she was. But the consensus of medical opinion was that with a bullet in her brain she could neither have walked a step, nor spoken a word, but would. have fallen insensible at the moment she received the wound. But powder burns on the sheet proved that she was shot, or shot at, on the bed. The Grand-jury indicted the minister. The- oretically a man indicted for an offense is osteemed innocent until proven guilty. Ac- tually the reverse ts true. An Indictment Is too often regarded as quasi proof of gullt, and an honorable acquit tal frequently fails to remove the stain. With Mr. Hinshaw’s indictment and ar- rest, public opinion, always unstable, began to waver. De- The alleged Geeing burglars had left zo a —— } all, though, the important question of motive for the crime had not been estab- lished, It was supplied by the prosecution, ‘which endeavored to show that the preacher had become infatuated with the charms of Miss Feree, a handsome young woman of Belleville. The preacher’s own actions tended to further this theory. THE TRIAL. Public opinion changed front entirely, and long before the trial he was forejudged as guilty by the very people who were ready to lynch the detective for suggesting his guilt. One remained loyal to him. Strangely enough, it was his wife's mother, who until now, has consistently maintained that he was incapable of committing such a crime. Love is not a voluntary passion, and it may come to a mismated preacher, as to the worldly man. But love does not always impel its victens to crime !n order to gain freedom from irksome chains. If it did uxoricide would be an every-day offense, But ever since King David made Uriah the Hittite the bearer of\ois own doom that he might wed his widow, such Irregular at- tachménts have been regarded as contrib- utory evidence in fastening suspicion on the surviving principal in Lke tragedies. The existence of a paramour had much to do with convicting Mrs. Maybrick of the mur- der of her husband. If Dr. Hearn had not married the widow of Amos Stillwell he would not have been called to defend him- self on a charge of killing h!m. Mr. Hinshaw’'s attentions to Miss Feree may have been harmiess. His affections may have centered on her soon after his wife's death, but whatever his sentiments, his attentions to the young woman caused a tremendous revuls.on of popular feeling. The trial of Mr. Hinshaw began on Sep- tember 4 1895, and lasted until October 2 Expert medical testimony for the State showed the impossibility of Mrs. Hinshaw being able to walk and talk after receiving the death wound. The prisoner's counsel! were unable to make him budge from jis first statement, that his wife waa shot in bed, and afterwards walked to the porca, crying for help. The absence of footprints in the snow was noted. The Sfate showed that the bullet in adrs. Hinshaw’s brain, and ] other bullets, imbetided in the walls, fitted the minister’s revolver. The State’s theory was that her husband shot her In the room, and carried her dying to the porch. For the defense fragmentary evidence was introduced, which,| uncorroborated as it was, was of little if any value. Lewis Asher, a rmer looking for stray stock, testified that) he saw a buggy hitched to the fence near the house on the night of the murder. This timony meant nothing then, but it does naw in the light of recent developments, A Miss Worrell tdéstified that immediately after the shots wédre fired she saw three men running’ from the house. As this evi- dence wag wholly tncorroborated, and no tracks were found In the snow, it had no weight whatever, | especially since the preacher insisted. that only two men were present. Counsel for defendant did not avail them- selves of the privilege of putting him on the witness stand. This of itself argued a weak case. They haive since said that ow- ing to his refusal to change in any particu- lar his first statement, in spite of the medi- cal testimony, they were afraid of the effect of hig story on the jury. Thep feared that he would only make conviction surer, and probably entail a death sentence. After a hard-fought legal battle, the case went to the jury. A) verdict of guilty was reached, based on circumstantial evidence, and the punishment pose was a life sen- tence. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and the senterice was affirmed. The ex-minister of the gaspel was taken to the State prison at Jeffersonvilie, shorn of his clerical garb, made to ddn Ahe stripes of the convict and he entered upon « term of im- prisonment which only death was to end. Some months ago the prison at Jefferson- ville was turned Into a reformatory, and the convicts were all removed to Michigan City. Among the prisoners there was Noah pene an old-time offender, a potty > chicken thief and vagrant. Daily he w ESSED BY A CONVICT TO FREE C ANOTHEE GE PROUE nS vict, and learned what he was there for. Remorse touched the seared conscience of the chronic jail bird. A month ago he sent for his jailer and told him he had a confes- sion to make. It was startling, if true. It was to the effect that Hinshaw was innocent of the murder of his wife, and that the deed was committed by Guy Van Tassel and John Whitney, crooks like himself, who were then confined in the penitentiary. He sald he heard the story from the men themselves. His story was not believed, It was at least only partially true. THE REAL MURDERER. — But a later confession puts a wholly dif- ferent light on it. Baney acknowledged that he was present when the murder was com- mitted, and he offered to go over the route and re-enact the scenes of that tragic night. For this purpose he was paroled by the Governor for five days, and, under guard, was taken to Belleville. In a buggy he was driven toward the preacher’s house. He pointed it out before arriving there, and Passing it a hundred yards he showed where the buggy was hitched the night of the mur- der. It was the very spot as testified to by the witness Asher. Robbery was the motive of the intruders. Baney showed them how they entered by the kitchen window, and pointed out the spot where the pocketbook had been concealed. He told of Mra. Hinshaw awakening. She jumped from the bed and struggled with Van Tassel, fighting him to the porch. There Van Tassel shot her, and she fell in her tracks. Then came the fight with Hinshaw. He was attacked by Whitney and Van Tassel. He was pursuing them down the road when he was shot. The three men then ran to- wards the buggy, as testified to by Miss Worrell. Baney showed where the cupboard was from which his confederates took the ragor and revolver, which they handed to Baney. He showed where he threw them away hie fight. and where the empty pocketbook was thrown, and in each case the evidence at the trial corroborated his sta senwen imto comtact with the Pree tee 4 . . | The three men got away in the ) *) THE MUR. EE, WE WAY OCENCE. night and reached Ind anapolia next morne- ing. There they divided the money and sep- arated. There are discrepancies between BRaney's story and that of the preacher, but eloeely examined they are favorable to the latter. The preacher testified to seeing two men only. That helped to discredit the evidence of Miss Worrell,who saw three men running. Baney ran from the house as soon as Mrs. Hinshaw was shot, and the preacher only saw the two who engaged him in battle. The medical testimony was to the effect that Mrs. Hinshaw must have fallen where she was shot. The preacher insisted that she struggied with the burglars and fought her way from the bed to the porch after she was shot. Baney'’s confession coreborates the theory of the experts. The preacher waking up suddenly may casily have been mistaken. Several shots were fred, and he Was probably mistaken as to which one struck ber. She showed fight before she Was shot instead of afterwards. The presence of the preacher's rasor and revolver on the ground were acogounted for. Another important fact was this: While the bullets found imbedded tn the walls and ia Mre.

The object of these carnivals is to typify and symbolize in floral floats and gorgeous displays, the progress and development of Colo- rado. The pageant of the third day, the finale of the celebration, will be several] miles in length. Nineteen American colleges will be represented, and there will be long processions of Colorado pioneers, cowboys and Indians. Hun- dreds of little children, clad in pure white, will ride mountain burros. Rallroads and stage lines will be represented by floats. Among the participants in the parade will be Gov.

It means a oomplete remodeling of worm- an’s form, the tir portant agent of which ts a recently invented and oddly aha French stay. Thie stay, worn by the up-to-date wom- an, will do these thinrs: It will extend, out of the'r natura) propor- tions, the eize of the hip It will compress the Waist to an astonish- ing and most unhysgl- @n.c emaliness It will flatten bust and give the wearer the appearance of an an!l- mated hour-gliases But it will be adopt- ed and worn with pride because it is new and startling and has the sanction of the great minds that ere given over to the study of clothes.

It remains for the “new figure” to demonstrate the va- rieties of lacing and the resulta of a cer- tain style ag effected Dy the new corset. The physical cultur- ists, the Delsarteans, the reformers and a legion of esthetes and cranks have for a score of years been exploiting in every possible way the gospel of the common- sense waist. They will be deeply pained when they see the ef- fect of the new stay. The new figure is a wonderful etructure, indeed. The waist is drawn in to the very least space possible and the ehape of Robert P. Bringhurst, Sculptor: , ‘The ‘new’ figure is utterly A st-Louts impossible. No human body Artist's could be distorted into such a View shape by a corset. A woman sould not live and breathe with her muscles and lungs so compressed. “It is all out of proportion from an ar- tistic standpoint Even the French women, who are more tightly laced than any women in the world, could never make their figures like this “The hips are unnaturally broad and pro- nounced, the waist too long and too small and the shoulders too broad. A woman's hips, to be in proportion, should be broader than her shoulders. “In Paris I have seen these tightly-laced women, worn out with lacing, come to pose as models. They thought they had a perfect figure because the dressmakers said 60. “A very high tax has been placed upon corsets in France for the purpose of keep- ing them out of the reach of working girls and the poor peasant women. “All pressure of stays, garters or dress bands tends to impair the figure, and a woman can not be too careful in her dress. : sharp angles nor sharp curves and the bust and hips must not be pronounced or stand out like shelves, as they do in this picture.” Dr. William Gilbert Moore of Vande- venter Place: A St. Louis Physician's Bitter “So this is what modern s0- ciety women are coming to Well, I can not say that I ad- mire that style of figure. In the first place, such a great Condem- compression of the waist , would displace all the viscera nation. to a really dangerous extent. It isn’t pretty, it isn’t graceful, and above all it is decidedly not healthful. All I car say is that a woman who has a waist like that is the possessor of a mighty poor head. I know I shouldn’t want to see any of my patients making such idiots of them- selves.”’ Mrs. J. Willard Wright of Wash- ington Boulevard: “Good gracious, you don't Shocks a really mean that women are Society actually going to adopt such a ridiculous fashion as _ that! Matron.

Modern girls, I thought, had become so fond of athletic training and good, wholesome outdoor ex- ercise, that they would scoff at such tiny, pinched _. waists and such exaggerated shoulders and hips. Tight-lacing has al- ways been considered bad form by socially correct people and it will certainly be re- garded as no’ less wretched taste because some few enterprising French modistes have decreed it as the coming fashion.

Within six months it will be form. According an 5 feet 7 inches hign should have @ waist measurement of at least 26 inches. Her bust should measure about 34 and her hips 4 inches. One need only picture to one’s self a woman of such proportions to feel an up-to-date p'ty for her. In the new stay she will measure 2) inches around the waist, 40.around the bust and # or WO around the hips. With these dimensions she cannot fall to attract the respectful admir- ation of all smart people. The corset de- presses the stomach, so marked a fault in the stout figure, and allows free play to the hips. Lacing at the waist senda the flesh downward in- stead of upward, and the figure gains in length. This in the tailor gown has the effect of decreasing the size wonderfully. While in the decoliete costume the stout woman wil) shine re- longer suggest immodest ex- will no adoption. I have just had a street gown made in Paris, but I assure you it does not look much like the one in the illustration. If it did I should not accept it.” Miss M. E.

And the hips must be greatly padded to produce exactly that ef- fect. A little padding under the arms never fails in adding beauty of outline, but the same effect could never be obtained by even the severest compression across the chest, I dare say there a large number of society women who will be foolish enough to favor this idea, but they will err in the way of good sense and taste.”’ Modiste Disapproves TWO dT.

Hennen of New York City paased over Mount Weshinagton last Sunday on a remarkably venturesonme walking tour through the New shire region. They had walked all the way from’ Holderness, N. H., where they are camping on Squam Lake, and on their way ascended Moosilauke, Lafayette, Cannon and Mount Washington. They went there by way of the bridle path from the Craw- ford House, atopping during the day at the picturesque little farm houses among the hills, for rest and food. They have with them thetr guns and knapsacks, and they spend thelr nights sleeping upon the ground out of doors. From Mount Washington the young men went to Medison Hut by way of the North- ern ePaks, and from there to the Glen and Jackson, by way of the Dome of the Car- ter Range, and through Carter Notch. After leaving Jackson, they will make the as- cent of Chocorua, and thence beck to Hol- ferness. The total distance of this tramp is not less than 2375 miles. They have aver- aged 3 miles a day and when last seen dis- *ppearing across the great Northern Peaks. they were making excellent time. Mr. W.

He is at his home on Euclid avenue with an aching head and a badly fractured knee-cap. While riding down the McPherson avenue hill a few days ago, Mr. Birge and a heavy coal wagon met. Birge says that he had been consuming an astonishing» number of quinine capsu’ es and that his hearing had been so affected that he was unaware of the approach of the coal chariot until one of the horses knocked him down, and the other began te perform a graceful French cancan al! over his anatomy. He was subsequently tenderly gathered together by some kind-hearted passers-by and taken home. Of course Mr, BRirge is to be sincerely pitied and much sympathized with—but what, O what is to become of the young people of the smart set while he is con- valescing? For weeks past he hag been the life and soul of every entertainment given by his own particular coterie of friends; he has himself planned and given innumerable unique affairs, and between times he has planned and suggested novel entertainments for other people to give. He, and he alone, was the “power behind the throne” at the flirtation party given at Webster Groves @ few weeks ago. He is the proud originator of last week's ‘“‘hi-spy’’ party, and he alse was the genial host at the stag house party given from Friday, Aug. 6, to Monday, Aug. §, at the handsome Birge residence. The ac- cident to his knee occurred on Thursday, Aug. 6 but, nothing daunted, he continued the preparations for the house party, and ended by receiving his guests in his boudoir, where he entertained in plaster of paris and an orange-colored dressing gown. He has ever proved a host in himself, and WALTER BIRGE, THE GAYEST LAD IN TOWN, mm MEIGHT 5° 0% has been the “petted guest” at every smart function of the summer season. To say that it is only natural that Birge whould take the lead in his own eet, would be to put it mildly. In the fret place, he is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius C. Birge—and that counts for something, In addition to being somebody's son, Walter Birge ie one of the best all-round athletes in the city, and sports the reputation of being able to put up the stiffest game of football of any man of his size in the country. As “right end” on his college team he won a very enviable name for himself, and incidentally nearly knocked out two of hie best friends whe were playing on an opposing team. Up at Charlevoix, Mich., where the gentle Birge is wont to spend his summers, there f$8 a tradition afloat to the effect that this young map ie the best swimmer and sailor who ever visited there. Once, by ald of both these accomplishments, he saved the life of @ little child, and once he had to be saved as he was eeized with a violent cramp, while performing some showily clever aquatic feats for the special edification of « party of fluffy, beribboned sunwmer giris. While at college Birge was the acknow!- edged leader of the track team, and some- where among his bushel of trophies at home, there are gold and bejeweled medals for pole-vaulting, running, hurdle racing, high jumping and throwing the hammer. In addition to these enviable qualities thig young paragon possesses « silver-toned cor- net with which he can almest (‘‘almost’’) coax the birds off the bushes, and a bari- tone voice which has gained him admission to the Apollo Club. Withal, Birge ls a very good looking, good-natured, witty chap, whe thoroughly understands the art of pleasing others while pleasing himself, and who pos- sesses the natural advahtages which en- able him to do both with comparative ease, ™ ee ee give s progressive euchre at Howard's Hall on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 19, at 2 p. m.

The economy of gas as & fuel is now well established, owing to the enterprise of a |o- cal firm in offering gas ranges for 4). down and © cents a menth. A great many persons of moderate means have been under the impression that gas was too much of 4 luxury, but the many fatal accidents from gasoline and these very alluring terms tempted them to try it, and all whe have done so are strong a4dvecates of gas stoves for everybody.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. ————— DLL LD r CAMP MEETING SERVICES IN UTTER DARKNESS. , -— lll The “Unco Guid” at Pious Ocean Grove Shocked at Sensational Methods. Bpecial Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. OCEAN GROVE, N. J., Aug. 12.~—The most unique eervice ever held in the camp grounds here—and there have been some exceedingly novel ones tn the resort’s twen- ty-elght years’ history—is planned for to- morrow night In the big Auditorium eeat- ing 10,000 persons. The service originated with Rev. Charles H. Yatman, the well- known evangelist, who has led the young people’s meeting for fifteen summers, The service will be held in the dark, At & o'clock the electric HNghts wfil be turned off. Then music will begin. From unexpected parts of the Auditorium will come melody from piano, harp, violin, cor- net, organ and other instruments. Indeed the service ie to be of music and nothing else. Not a word will be spoken by the leader during the hour. Entire quiet will be maintained as far as poss'ble—no one will be allowed to enter or leave the build- ing during the meeting. The service is bringing down on Mr. Yatman's head a good deal of criticism. A good many of the camp leaders think the innovation altogether too sensational; that people will attend purely out of curlosity. And these strictures on sensa- tionalism are not confined to Mr. Yatman, There uprising againet the spirit of sensationalism wherever it ap- pears on the camp grounde. There is a probability that Walter Damrosch will not be allowed to hold another musical festival, like the one with which the School of Theology closed ita session on Thursday and last evenings, when opera singers par- ticipated. The conservative element in the Camp Association !s “dead against,” to use the words of one of its members, “the play- house theatrical spirit’ that is getting a foothold in this camp town. The old-fash- joned Methodists object to having pictures of opera singers displayed all over town, and especially at the very entrance to the Auditor.um, This eame spirit has altered the usual make-up of the Mat of preachers for the annual camp meeting, which opens next friday. No “star’’ preachers will appear this year—no one who will draw a great crowd which would come partly out of curiosity. The campers believe that not as much good is done, when such a jam packs the Auditor'um and grounds as, for in stance, when Dr. Talmage preached lest year, as there is at a smaller meeting. This geeanson less famous speakers will exhort the people to salvation, Miss Florence Offenbach, Mise Helen Offenbach, Miss Mabel Holme and Miss Lillie Holme compose a St. Lou'e party of ay summer visitors at Avon-by-the-Sea, They spend much of their time in bowling. ’ Lippincott of St. Louls is recreating ‘' Norman House. and Mre.

Dispensary Patient Preferred Death to Being an Outcast. “I am tired of life,” said George King, a veteran of the war, to Dr. Newcomb at the City Dispensary yesterday as he drew a vial of laudanum. “IT am an outcast and-.the world would be better off without me, but I hate to kill myself. I feel my mind giving away, and rather than be a madman I prefer to die. I want to go to the C’ty Hospital, and unless you send me I will swallow this polson."’ King, whose home is in Ohio, and whose mind was first deranged by family trouble, has been in the Insane Asylum. He was sent to the hospital yesterday. HE SAYS HE HAS DIAMONDS. Richard Hack Will Have to Prove He Isn’t a Perjurer. Richard Hack, white lover of the late no- torious Belle Flannigan, was arrested yes- terday on a chargg of perjury. He qualified on the bond of Charles Rodgers. Judge Murphy thought Hack did not have the property he swore he pos- sessed. Hack says he has a safe deposit vault filled with diamonds, and that Sept. 1 hé will receive $30,000 of the $100,000 left him by his mother, the notorious Mother Surk- hardt, while he was serving five years in the penitentiary for robbery. Graham Case Postponed. The case of Mr. and Mrs. Granger Graham was again deferred in the Police Court yes- terday and the trial docketed for August 21. Graham is the real estate agent whose wife fired at Him in the Commercial Build- ing, alleging that he had been untrue to sale of two week. Arnold M. her. pea of ; She ig charged with disturbing the | famous by their big shipments. Diehlstadt, Morley, Blodgett in Scott County, and Mal- den in Dunkl:n County, are the main ship- sing points. The railroads’ profits do not end here, as fully three-fourths.of the melons are sent ‘out to other markets, and the Wabash and Missouri Pac'fic roads get a good share of them anc incidentally many other lines have a change at the trade, for Missourl kets of the country. The crop is so large in this State that a majority of the big cities in the country have a hend in the distribution. In fact, they are being shipped to every town large enough to consume a carload. As a’result of these b'g offerings, prices have gone very low, and at this time the market Is in a deplorable condition. From 8%) to 9 cars were on track yesterday un- sold. while the prices are anywhere over freight charges to $40 a car. Efforts have been made to stop the shippers, but as long as any margin above freight charges ap- peces. the producers seemed disposed to forward t'fm rather than see the melons eo to waste. At this time form!dable com- petition exists elsewhere. Muscatine, Io., famous for melon-growing, is now ship- ping into many markets heretofore occu- pied by the. Missouri crop. Southeast Misssouri will ship altogether probably 2,500 cars. A large number of these go direct to other markets, The apple growers of Missouri must not be led astray by reported failures of the crop in the East and that an army of East- ern dealers is invading the West for sup- plies. It is true there is a shortage in New York, but that applies to the Baldwin va- riety and some gaye of Ben Daivs or red varieties will be maAde to supply the de- ficiency. The East will have a big crop of other sorts and many of them will find their way to Western markets. New York has at jeast half a crop and in view of the good crop in the West, where the yleld was light last year, it is clear there will be an abundance of apples everywhere and no prospect for higher prices. The unlooked for emall local potato crop will afford a much earlier opening than usual for Northern shippers to this mar- ket. and it ts said the new_ spuds will be fairly started for this city this week from many Northern shipping points. Prices have been nearly double those paid for home grown a year ago. Last years yield was very heavy—nearly double this years croy. The market Is deluged with canteloupes. The local crop is simply enormous and the price no object, for up among the whole- sale dealers they can be had for 10 to 15 cents a dozen and in large quantities still cheaper. A number of growers sowed seed of the Colorado melons last season, and while the originals are not equalled in qual- ity they claim some improvement is evi- dent. The fruit and produce dealers who handled the 1,000 cars of Missouri melons which came !n here the, past two weeks are a unit in asserting that so far the season has proved more unsatisfactory and unprofitable than any season that can be recalled in years. They declare this unexpected result is largely due to the crooked packing at the shipping points, as there was no end of com- plaints over deceptive packing of cars, which it seems were “‘deaconed’” too much. The season is sufficiently advanced to pronounce the grape crop of the country not only very fine, but the largest yield ever grown. New York has a magnificent crop. A circuler from the officials of the new organization there declares they have 9 per cent of the growers of the grape belt pledged to co-operate with them. In Ohio the different shipping associations are not yet organized into one body to sell and distribute the crop, but efforts are being made to get them all together to operate with the New Yorkers.

Now and then I nod to people.and occasionally utter a bon mot that appears in the Court Gazette on the following morning. Arriving at the palace, my secretary goes over the correspondence and incidentally calls my attention to a number of bills that have accumulated during my absence. Referring these to Parliament, I put on another suit of tailor-made clothing, also a necktie that I have thought up during the night, and hastily an elevated dog-cart and drive through the park. This done I go and lay the corner-stone of a hos- pital that otherwise would probably not get laid, with a number of Foreign Ministers, to whom I make a neat little speech, composed by myself. “IT then spring into a hansom and am driven to Lady Guinness’s, where I meet a collection of society leaders from the United States, to whom I give written permission to inspect the royal kitchen. If there is a beautiful heiress among the number I chuck her playfully under the chin, and her acceptance by London society is at once as- sured. Leaving Lady Guinness’s I enter my box at the theatre, and, being recognized, the audience honors me by singing ‘God Save the Queen,’ who, appears to be quite as well preserved as under the circum- stances seems necessary. London is now well cov- ered by the shades of night, and in company with a number of tried friends, all of whom, however, | pleaded not guilty and were acquitted, with merelv nominal fines, I penetrate into the life of our nation’s capital, and shudder at the job Lady Henry Somerset and other advocates of prohibi- tion have got on hand.

From the distant drawing-room of the palace there came the faint sounds of continued gayety. i I looked at the Prince inquiringly. “Little do the society young men of America,” observed His Royal Hizhness, “voung men whose fathers by well-directed frugality have suddenly amassed a railroad reaching to Chicago, and are row living to enjoy the blessings of the same— little do they realize, when they are spending an hour over one of my neckties, or mavhap quar- relling with the tailor because he cannot achieve perfection with plebeian legs that never were bofn te rule over a kingdom—little do they realize, I say, the burdens that rest upon one who, at my time of life, instead of being comfortably seated in a throne that he long has looked upon as his, and spending his nights with his family, has to give himself up to living in a mouldy old castle.” “Then you find it wearing?’ I suggested, as the Prince paused. “Yes, it’s swearing,’’ he retorted, and instinc- tively I thought of the last issue of Punch, and broke into a rippling laugh, at which His Royal —_ Gal hi iY 59 /) NS egy” VW, ey \ \ : 1} iy } , af. : Highness smiled good-naturedly, for royalty loves to have its jokelets recognized as well as anybody. “The future King of England,” said the Prince, “if I may be allowed to speak in that anticipatory fashion, pondering upon Edward I. and William the Conquerer, and the variously numbered Henrys and Richards, as well as the other noted rulers of the long line of kings who have preceded him, does not fee] that his kingly prerogatives are fully exercised in playing puss in the corner and danc- ing round dances with American heiresses at a castie that is.somewhat out of repair and sadly | needs new fastenings on the window blinds.’’ I made a note of the air of melancholy that ac- companied this remark. “And yet,” pursued His Royal Highness, rousing | }0oked upon by this world or any other?” as I am, |) himself, “I do not repine.
