HIS HEAD STUCK N THE MUD Arthur Pabst Nearly Drown- ed by Plunging From a Boat Into Horseshoe Lake. HE HAS A STRANGE MANIA EVERY TIME HE GETS INTO A BOAT HE CANNOT RESIST THE IMPULSE TO JUMP. HAS DONE IT FIVE TIMES. |Last Escapade Came Very Near Prov- ing Fatal, For He Stuck Head First in the Bottom of the Lake and Almost Suffocate. Arthur Pabst is confined to his bed at at his home, 62% Franklin avenue, the result of injuries received in a pecullar manner at Horseshoe Lake, Ill., Wednesday afternoon. He has a badly discolored eye, a wrenched wrist and may be internally Injured. Pabst is 19 years old. Since boyhood he — has been strangely afflicted. Water has a peculiar fascination far him that has caused him to have five narrow es- capes from drowning. Some people, when they stand on a high bullding and look down, have an uncontrol- lable desire to jump. The sight of a body of water has the same effect on young Pabst. At times strong men were weeping, and again cheering lustily, as he paid glowing tribute to Edwin M. Stanton, the great Secretary of War, Steubenville’s most distinguished son; and when he spoke of President McKinley as another son of Jefferson County, the cheering was so great that he could not. proceed for some time.” At Steubenville'’s fest, when Web Davis arose To jolly these happy and prosperous people, They cheered him so loud the vibrations and throes Of their ecstacy shattered completely the steeple Of a neighboricg church. With delirious joy, The people arose in the strength of their fury, Gone daft with the words of that wonderful boy, Web Davis, the pride of Imperial Misseurt, Men and women burst forth in a volume of tea That started a mighty and endless commotion, And the ‘‘oldest inhabitant,’’ burdened with yea With a heart that was full of the warmest d vyotion, Declared with a joy with no trace of alloy | That he would be durned if he wasn't quite sure he Had never beheld such a wonderful boy As Davis, the pride of Imperial Missourt. Oh, the people went wild with their ecstasy, then, When Davis turned loose, in his eloquent manner, And spoke of Ohio's most eminent men, And eulogized Stanton, McKinley and Hanner. And had he not given his hearers surcease, "Tis certain that any unprejudiced jary Would have fined bim six months for disturbing the peace— Web Davis, the pride of Imperial Missouri. We boast of our peaches, our melons and corn, ’ The height of our wheat and the weight of our squashes. And the farmer “elights In the day he was born, And expresses his pleasure with many **b’goshes;"’ But oh, there is nothing that gives us a joy That's akin to the warmth of poetical fury, Like our claim en that windy and wonderful boy, Web Davis, the pride of Imperial Migsourt.

He stood amid the sunflowers Thursday to have himself sketched, and occasionally asked his older brother, who was looking over the artist's shoulder, how the picture was coming on. “Why do you run away from home, Ar- thur?’’ was asked, “Oh, ‘cause,.”’ he said, squinting his right eye from the sun. “Where do you go?” “Down to police sta.ion ing.”’ “Why do you go there?” “Oh, des for fun.” “What do you get there.” “Nickel, eometimes.

We have whipped him, we have tied him up, we have tried to buy him with nickles, cakes and candies, we have given him a little money on Saturday nights and taken him on excursions, I don't know what's the matter with the boy.

He says he will certainly be @ ser- @aant, aod maybe @ captain, a Though unable to swim he plunges head- first in the water with no apparent motive. | After being fished out he cannot explain his action, and sometimes he is unable to recall! his plunge. His peculiar Inclination was first mani. fested when he was 8 years old. He was fishing with a party of boys In a North:St. Louls vond. Without warning he plunged head firet Into the water. Wednesday's dive at Horse Shoe Lake was his fifth and it came near being his last. He wert to the lake with John Latal and several other young men. The party fished from the bank all morning. Late in the afternoon one of them suggested that they hire a boat. Some of his friends who knew of young Robert's peculiarity, advised him to remain ashore, but he insisted, on enter- ing the boat. They rowed to the middle of the lake and dropped their lines. Pabst sat still for ten minutes holding his pole and watching his cork intently. | Suddealy he threw his arms in the air and jumped headlong over the side of the boat. He went down Iike lead and did not rise again. , Fright rendered his companions powerless. They gazed in a spellbound way at the spot where Pabst had jumped, but no one thought of going to his rescue. Edward Kinsley, a motorman for the Union Depot Ratlway Co., was with an- other party fishing from a boat a short distance away. He saw Pabst jump. When the young man failed to reappear Kinsley rowed to the spot and dived after him. He found that Pabst's head had stuck fast in the muddy bottom of the lake. It required all of his strength to extricate the lad from his perilous position. When brought to the surface Pabst was unconscious, Hig nose, mouth and eyes were filled with sand and mud and there was a big bruise over his right eye. Hls companions brought him to St. Louls Wednesday night. Thursday morning he was conscious, but his family would permit no one to see tim. When he reached home Thursday night he had only @& vague rememberance that he had received some sort of @ blow op the head. His brother, patch reporter: “Arthur's habit of Jumping Into the water is unaccountable. The sight of water, es- pecially when he Is surrounded by it, always has the same effect on him. He can't keep from jumping. The doctors say it is a form of epllevsy.”’ Young Pabst is the son of William Pabst, who keeps a saloon and billiard hall as Seventh and Franklin avenue.

Joe Wade assaulted Effie Strong, the 12- year-oln daughter of “. R. Strong, a prom- inent farmer. The crime was committed tn a dense wood about one-half a mile west from the village. Her cries at last brought assistance, but Wade escaped. Blood- hounds were secured from Ridgeway, and a mob of 200 men scoured the vicinity for him al! night. The fheriff was telegraphed for, and he with deputies finally succeeded in catching Wade at Norris C'ty and lodged him in jail.

Wade was discharged from the county jail about a week ago, and had started to Missour!, evading a United States Marshal who was after him for selling whisky. Sheriff Galloway, on being interviewed by your correspondent, stated that the pris- oner would be taken to Junction City for identification, and it i@ generally thought that Wade wll never see the prison walis again if he is brought back to the scene of his crime.

A white man with a big revolver took half a dozen shots at a crowd of negro singers, and they led the policeman on the beat a lively hase for three blocks before surrender- ing. Four negrocs were sitting on the curb, on Ashland avenue, near Fair, singing about a hot time inthe old town. A drunken man came along, and staggering up to the quar- tette, asked if their song had any particular reference to him. The boys said it had not and began sing- ing again. “Well, clear out of here,’’ ordered the Stranger. “I ain't going to have no jokes poked at me,"’ He pulled a big revolver and fired three shots over the singers’ heads.

NO REPAIRING BY JANITORS. IF THERE IS AN ODD JOB SOME UNION WORKMAN MUST GET IT. FREE BOOKS AND NO “SCABS.” The New Board Will Have This Slogan to Contend With When It Is Convened for Business September 14. Organized labor threatens to stop all work on the public school buildings of this city. The school authorities of Chicago are in a critical position. On the eve of the reopening day of the Windy City schools the labor unions ordered a strike and stopped all work on school buildings being éénstructéd or repaired. The cessation of work came at the most serious time of the year. There is not now nearly enough room for all the Chicago children who want to attend school. With uncompleted or unfit buildings the problem to the Board of Edu- cation of that city Is a most serious one. When the St. Louis Board of Education meets, on Sept. 14, it will be confronted with aggressive demands from organized labor. The threat is diplomatically conveyed in & long and vigorous communication, which the Building Trades Counc], through its secretary, H. W. Ste!nbiss, put forward to the board. The letter pictures in_ strong language the state of affairs tn Chicago and intimates that unless the grievances of organized labor are redressed the same heroic measures used by the Chicago unions will be put in force here, In the letter of Secretary Ste!nbiss the counc'!] demands that schoo! janitors must no longer be ailowed to make repairs to buildings under their charge. It is pointed out that many skilled artisans of Bt. Louis are out of work and it is urged that the city should give them all opportunities to earn bread for themselves and families. The board is also called upon to restore the union labor clause in al) contracts, a part that body recently el minated. It Is cla'med that the clause not oniy protected the wages and hours of workmen, but pre- | Vented delays and strikes and guaranteed good workmanship. A third demand is for free school books. i Education shall direct these matters. “It is ridiculous to say that janitors shall not make any repairs on school property. Why should we go to the expense and trouble of sending a carpenter to Caronde- let to put in a screw or nail a beard on a fence? The proposed action of organized labor cannot cripple the schools of 8t. Louls. We are finishing the general work of repair and there is no big censtruction work under way.”’ “IT don't know that these demands be made,’ said James lL. Ford. dent of the Board of Elucation. vidually, I shall do what the law mands. We are work'ng under the based on the merit system. That means open competition, with against nobody. The law doesn't allow 't. We can n°'‘her favor nor antagonize any class of la®or.’’ “There is a movement,” sald John Schroers , “among a majority of the mem- bers to repeal! the resolution which cut will vice-pres - “‘Indi- com- law ‘down the appropriation for free books from | $10,000 to $5,000. A special meeting of the board to consider this matter will be called when Pres dent Coste returns from hie va.- cation; probably next week. I shall in- troduce at a proper t'me A resoiution to reserve at certain periods sums of money so that eventually all grades in the public schools will have free books. Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other cit'es supply free books to all public school children. There is no reason why St. Louis should not do the same if all money due the board for fines, feets, etc., Is collécted. Then d'scrimination | with economy (in other directions we wiil | have plenty of money for the purpose. As to the union labor feature of the proposed demands to be made, I shall watt until they come before the board."’ HEAD-TO-HEAD COLLISION Half a Dozen Persons Badly Hurt in Alabama.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction of the liver will never get the upper hand of the unruly organ so long as they use such irrational reme- dies as blue pill, calomel and podophyllin. But from the tried and popular medicane. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they may cxapect relief with a certainty of obtaining it. The influence of the Bit- ters upon the great biliary gland is direct, power- ful and speedily felt. The relief afforded is not spasmodic, but complete and permanent. The Sallowness of the skin, furred appearance of the tongue, indigestion, costiveness, headache, nausea, pains through the right side and shoulder; in fact every accompaniment of the obstinate complaint are entirely and promptly removed by a course of this inestimable medicine, in bebalf of which tes- timony is constantly emanating from every quar- tet and from all classes of society. LL FIGHT THE SUIT. FREDA STONE’S HUSEAND PROM- ISES TO MAKE HER DIVORCE TRIAL INTERESTING. ! SHE CHARGES NON-SUPPORT. Friends Claim He Will Show Why He Didn’t Send Her Money to Re- turn to Mexico. After a year’s separation Mrs. Freda Mc- Donough has filed suit for divorce in the St. Louis Circuit Court from John McDonough, chief rate clerk of the Mexican Central Rail- way, at the City of Mexico. Mrs. McDonough is better known to St. Louisang as Freda @one. With her sister Patti, who died three years ago, she was prominent in local amateur theatrical cir- cles. Later both girls adopted the profes- sional stage. The girls were quite prominent in a social way as their father was a union veteran and a leading G. A. R. man, He is now sec- retary and manager of the Soldiers’ Home at St. James, Mo. When they adopted the stage they took their mother along to chaperone them and by their conduct preserved their standing in local society. Eight years ago, Freda Stone, the younger of the sisters, gave her friends a distinct surprise by marrying Jack McDonough. He was a well-known choir singer, and quite a handsome fellow, but only an auditor's clerk on a small salary and the quietest fel- low in the world. Nobody could understand how the pretty little soubrette, who was as animated, off the stage as on, could have been fascinated by the saturnine young baritone. But married they were. It made little difference in Miss Freddie's life as they both moved in the musical set, and she continued a frequent attraction at concerts and ama- tuer theatrical entertainments. She was a girl who attracted attention and she knew how to-interest men, Her hus- band didn’t understand her and there was some friction. After a while, a son was born and the father to end all occasion for jealousy accepted a position with the Mexi- can National Railway and moved his fam- ily to the sister republic. Mrs. McDonough soon tired of what|Mex!- can society was open to the wife of @ rail- road clerk. She made several prolonged visits here to her relatives and meanwhile the incompatibility between husband and wife grew stronger. It is vaguely hinted by McDonough’'s friends that she found some one to ital her kill the ennul of the Mexican capital when her husband awakened to the fact he | gave her transportation and means to|make a trip here with her boy. This was @ year ago. She visited her mothar until Mrs. Stone broke up housekeeping and joined her husband at St. James. Then Mrs. McDonough went to her friend Mrs. Ben Becker, at 4651 North Market street, where she now resides. Mrs. McDonough wrote to her husband for money to return, but he refused it. After her mother broke up housekeeping she wrote several times for money to sup- ort and educate their 8-year-old son, Les- ie. She claims he refused to answer She learned that he has been promoted to the chief clerkship in the rate depart- ment of the Mexican Central Railway and is receiving $300 a month in Mexican money. His refusal to devote some of this to his boy’s maintenance is made the ground of her divorce petition. eat Jack McDonough's brother Frank is fore- man of the repair department of the Bell Telephone Co. He said the news of his s.ister-in-law'’s divorce pet.tion was a great surprise to him. “She spent the evening at our house,’ he said, “the day she filed her petition, but sald nothing to mother or me about it. I know that there ds soae- thing up between her_and John, but what it is I have no idea, We have heard littie from him since he went to Mexico and never has he said anything about his do- -stic affairs. When I spoke to Freda about her long stay here, she said something about not going back and intimated it was her own fault. She never went into per hees, and I didn’t press her, as I hardly believe er in earnest.” " There are friends of Jack McDonough here who know more about his domestic troubles than they will talk about. They ods of reaching the objects in view—action of the fact that the President had recently say he is certain to fight the divorce suit and will make it plain why he didn't send his wife money to return to Mexico. Their intimation is that a third party will fig- ure in the trial and the true reason for Mrs. McDonough’s desire for legal separa- tion will develop. Mrs. McDonough !s visiting her parents at present. Mrs. Ben Becker, with whom she had been stopping, said Thursday that she knew nothing of the divorce proceed- ings until they were briefy announced in Wednesday’s papers. She did not like to press her guest for information and that was vouchsafed was that the lady had ven up relying on her husband for sup- port. Mrs. Becker also added that Mrs. McDon.- ou was anxious to return to the stage and would probably become a member of the Fourteenth Street Theater Opera Com- pany. This may, as a side issue, explain the di- vorce proceedings as a bit of opportunism. NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION. Suggestions on the Mode of Criminal Procedure. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 26.—There was a large attendance of ladies and members of the local bar at the meeting of the Bar Association in the Y. M. C. A., in anticipation of a discussion of the arbitra- tion treaty, which had been promised. It did noc materialize. As goon as the meet- ing was called to order, President Wool- worth introduced Gov. Griggs of New Jer- sey, who spoke on the necessity for unt- formity of law, for simplicity of procedure, for better legal education and for interna- tional arbitration. The Committee on Federal Code of Crim- inal Procedure reported that soon after their appointment at the last meeting of the American Bar Association an _ inter- change of views of the members of the committee was sought as to the best meth- by Congress, directly or indirectly, initiat- ing the forms and improvements in crimi- nal procedure in the Federal courts. Sug- gestions had been received from quite a number of the United States district at- torneys, but no report was made in view appointed commiss‘oners to revise and cod- ify the criminal and penal laws of the United States, under an act of Congress. The same committee to which was referred the question reported that they were of the opinion that it was not expedient to provide by law for the compensation of counsel for accused persons on trial In the United States courts In all cases, but that in case of per- sons indicted for crimes punishable by death or imprisonment for life some provision of law should be made for the emptoyment and compensation of counsel for the defense, such as is found in some of the State statutes. The Revised Statutes of the United States provide for the assignment of counsel in capital cases not exceeding two, as the accused may desire, but no provision is made for the compensation of such coun- sel. Contrary to expectations there was no dis- cussion on the'arbitration question, which came next in order. The committee had drafted a resolution which satisfied all dele- gates, of having slept on the question and cooled off. | The committee reported the following reeo- ution: “That the American Bar Association. re- newing with emphasis the strong deciara- tion made by it at i@s last annual meet- ing in favor of the adjustment of contro- versies between nations by the medium of international arbitration, expreses its earn- est hope that the efforts to establish no | beneficient a principle may not In their gen. | eral spirit and purpose be relaxed, and that the Administration of President McKinley will take such steps as may be approprtate to negotiate just and liberal treaties with foreign powers for the accomplishment of this important result.” SUIT TO DIVIDE A BEQUEST.

In estimating the value of wheat and other grain wise men will not regard the vagaries of the speculative market, but will consider the facts. The speculative prices may be boosted up or hammered down, as the interests of big traders and combinations may dictate, but in the main the law of supply and demand will control, There can be little doubt as to the facts. Supplementary to the estimate of Beer- bohm and the general reports of Euro. pean crop conditions, the Post-Dispatch yesterday published the results of the special investigation of the Orange Judd eyndicate of agricultural papers. Returns from the investigation indicate @ shortage in Europe’s supply of wheat amounting to not less than 300,000,000 bushels. The shortage in rye, which is a staple food in Europe, is about 326,000,- 000 bushels and the shortage in potatoes reaches 1,000,000,000 bushels. Here is a demand for millions of bush- els of wheat, rye and potatoes in excess of the surplus which America can sup- ply. A persistent demand, which will maintain the price of these products at a high figure and will necessarily influ- ence the price of all other food products, especially corn and oats, is thus assured. It is beyond the power of any prophet to fix the limit of the price of wheat un- der such a demand, but it may be sald on the solid basis of fact that wheat is worth $1 a bushel. It may be predicted that other food products will develop and maintain corresponding strength in the market. — —— _ The high woo! tariff will not do much for the lambs that got into the grain pits. ——_—— 1 o—— _—-—_- THE NEW PARTY. There is something in the atmosphere of St. Louls that must be especially fa- vorable to the birth and growth of new ideas and novel experiments in politics and other activities of fife. Boston: is no longer the Hub of the Universe, at any rate where politics and vital public questions are concerned. St. Louls has easily taken the first place as the Con. vention City and the cradle of new po- litical parties. Kkven when a party that has no reason for existence, no principles that any one can discover, no leadership that any one knows or would follow, and no visible object except desire for fame on the part of a few individuals—even when sucha “party’’ wants to be properly ush- ered into the world of politics—it has to come to Bt. Louls. St. Louls begs to inform the rest of the world that a new party has just come to light “in her midst.” It is a party that had to come to St. Louls to be born, or the world would never have heard of It. And having notified the rest of the universe that this party has been duly started, St. Louis has done her full duty. The party must take care of itself. i ————e— wy An English court has decided that dam- ages may be collected from willful liars. This isa solemn warning to the Klondike romancers. ee ee eae ee OUR IMPERIAL ORATOR. Imperial Missouri's imperial orator, the Hon. Webster Davis, has raised the standard of oratory several pegs higher by his masterly effort at the Steubenville reunton. The truthful chronicler of this great eventin the history of Ohio says: “Never was such a speech heard in this valley before. At times strong men were weep. ing and again cheering lustily.”” Stey. benville was flooded with the tribute of tears to the moving pathos of Kaw elo. quence. The air of the valley vibrated in sonorous, rhythmic harmony with = the melodious tones of that matchless voice, The 60,000 hearers were stirred to the depths of their being. Alternately weep. ing and cheering, they sprang over the Seats tO grasp the hand of the man who could #0 entrance the souls of his fel- lows.

No better illustration could be offered of the service that the Increasing facili- ties of the press are doing for humanity and civilization than the case of Evange- lina Cisneros. Despite the efforts of the Spanish au- thorities in Cuba to conceal and distort the facts in the case of this unfortunate Cuban girl, they were secured by newspa- per correspondents and were sent out to be distributed and commented upon throughout the civilized world. The feeling of horror and repugnance at the gross injustice to which she was subjected was rapidly reflected from,one end of this country to the other. Pro- tests grew in volume and a movement to bring about her release rapidly crystal- lized into a petition to the Queen of Spain. The protest of the women of America has been taken up in Europe and the voice of Pope Leo will support the appeal. Spain cari hardly resist the appeal and the expected release of this girl will be one of many instances showing the in- creasing readiness of the public to re- ~ - spond to the appeal of justice and human- ity and the marvelous increase of facili- ties for arousing, crystallizing and giving effective force to enlightened public opin- jon. There {is now scarcely a part of the earth where injustice may conceal itself. No qtlestion can escape debate in the pub- lic forum. Disputes between nations are no longer decided by caprice and greed in secret council, but are tried be- fore the bar of public opinion and nations dare not disregard the verdict. The union of mankind for peace, justice and humanity is making progress at a rapid rate, —_ * a —— —_— The swarming fanatics of India are af- ter Mr. Bull's red boys just as if there had been no royal jubilee. CHILD RIGHTS. In the draft of the divorce bill framed by the Uniform Law Association for adoption by all the States occurs the fol- lowing sentence: ‘‘No divorce shall affect the legitimacy of children of such mar- riage, except where it shall be declared void because of a prior marriage.” Why the exception? Persons who through fraud or ignorance enter into illegal marriage relations should be de- barred from profiting by the wrong and if the wrong is deliberately committed they should be punished. But why visit the iniquity of the parents on the innocent children? In every case where it is possible the child should be protected against injury in standing or prospects by reason of fraud, wrong or ignorance in the parent. All reforms in marriage laws should tend towards the broadest view of justice for the innocent children. Sk a President McKinley could not be ex- pected to admit all the truth in regard to returning prosperity. In the partial ad- mission that the big crops are doing something towards setting the wheels in motion, he is saying as much as a man in his position can well say. So let us not be too severe on the President. He is in the position of the pianist in the far West show whose life was saved by the placard on the piano: “Don't shoot the orchestra; he is doing the best he can!” —_——_— - -o —-—__ _- The Chicago Record’s prosperity esti- mate that every man having a wife and five children is now $7,000 better off than he was on July 1, ought to leave no further doubt as to the departure of hard times. All old bachelors who are not yet wealthy should see in these figures the necessity for immediate matrimony. o_O —______— Everybody knows, as well as Philan- thropist Butler, that Americans waste a great deal of food. Much of this food is stale bread, which Is far more digestible. and therefore more healthful, than the spongy stuff that is demanded by most Americans when they are hungry. __ ee i, Judge Withrow seems to have discov- ered plenty of law for the suppression of all kinds of. gambling dens in this city. When proprietors of gambling places must maintain a State bonfire of devices and office fixtures they will find the bur- den too heavy for the business. —— _ Ww = It should be borne in mind that all the great journals of the country find the Associated Press telegrams a necessity to a complete newspaper. The only after- noon paper in St. Louls getting these dis- patches is the Post-Dispatch. : —————— Short wheat, short rye and short pota- toes in Europe, with long wheat, long rye and long potatoes in the United States. make a condition which will go far to mitigate, for a time at least, the legisla- tion of the Fifty-fifth Congreas. > --—"7sz/Zz/z/z/j‘j Missourl’s huge peaches go very well with her big red apples.

POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. We may know good times are coming With the gold and wheat and fruit, For the miner and the farmer They will both go on a toot. The three Thomases in St. Louls who made $160,000 on wheat did not doubt for a moment, In refusing to create a straw boss Uncle Henry shows which way the municipal wind is blowing. : Richard P. Bland will speak next week at Tulip, Mo., and it is expected that his ad- dress will be flowery. The Government is of the opinion that we have taken too many Chinese to’our bosoms or vice versa. Joseph Speath of St. Louis is entitled to the feather. He claims to be the most hen- pecked husband on earth. As the stolen Pineville bank funds are be- ing dug up there can be no further check to our advancing prosperity. It is to be haped that the disposition now shown to speculate in beans may not per- turb the good people of Boston. Isadore Cocayne of St. Louls was again married the other day at the age of Ot. This seems to be the Cocayne habit. The Belleville man who hit his wife with aham ought to have used a hammer. Then she wouldn't have lived to sue him for divorce, Travelers should note that it was a St. Louis chambermaid who was so honest as to return a wad of $440 dropped by an Ala- bamian in his hotel. Chicago’s fire losses have largely in- creased, possibly from the fact that in- surance money is preferable to property that cannot be rented. The gambler of Chicago who had a charmed life was finally slain yesterday by a folding-bed. These folding couches in- dulge in no foolish superstitions. © The eye-wash of Col. E. H. Sellers differs from that of his predecessor, Col. Mulberry Sellers, in the fact that it is political. It is applied for the purpose of opening the eyes of voters. Gen. Sir Bindon Blood, with his. many medals and his sanguinary record, must be rather a handy man for Her Majesty to have in India just at this time. There can be no doubt, however, that the natives are after Blood. Strong men were weeping at Steubenville yesterday while Web Davis was speaking. The power of the Kaw ex-Mayor in a crowd of Ohio men is remarkable. Long after the bawl is over they will rememper the Missouri spell-binder. MEN OF MARK. Rev. John F. Damon of Seatt!e has, up to date, married 1,000 couples. He long ago gave up preaching to attend to tying connubial knots. ye Jersey City has a lawyer who, having settied an estate of $1,200, was awarded $100 for his costs and refused to take it be- cause it Was an exorbitant price. Clement G. Morgan, who was the orator of the class of ’9, Harvard, is an Alder- man of Cambridge. He is said to be the first colored man elected te such a place in a Northern city. “Judge’’ Elijah A. Parsons, who died at Towanda, Pa., a few days ago, was one of the oldest editors in that State, having been actively engaged in newspaper work about sixty years. He was long the editor of the Bradford Argus. Sir Lewis Morris is to make a lecturing tour in this country, beginning early in November. Sir Lewis is said to be a charming speaker, with a fine presence and a delightful voice. He is among the most popular of contemporary British poets. WOMEN OF NOTE. | The Italian actress Eleonora Duse can not positively give the name of her place of birth, for she first saw the light in a railway carriage between Padua and Venice. Mrs, Elizabeth A. Reed of Chicago has been elected a member of the Royal Asi- atic Society of London, this in honor of her successful work in Hindoo and Persian lit- erature. Christine Nilsscn, now the Countess randa, can still sing, though she has Patti’s fondness for the stage. She has just been paying a visit to Sweden, and sang once for the students of a university town. Miss Bertha Stoneman, a student in the botanical department of Cornell University for several years, who received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy there in 1896, jas been appointed Professor of Botany in the Hluguenot College in Cape Colony, Africa. Miss Lombroso, the daughter of the Italian professor, has written a volume, the title of which is “On the Happiness of Women.’ She has made the study of a hundred women, married and. unmarried, and comes to the conclusion that women generally are happler than men. Mi- not A Tribute to Post-Dispatch Artists. From the Fayette (Mo.) Leader. The Sunday Post-Dispatch contained a charming picture of Miss Blanche Buchan- an of Huntsville, who is a sister of Buena Buchanan, the gentlémanly clerk at Hotel Howard, and who has many friends here, having visited Fayette several times.

President McKinley ts ‘‘Watching the evi- dence of the return of prosperity with in- terest.”’ Jt must interest him very much indeed to watch the strong effort wheat prices are making to overtake the Dingley mrice of Sugar Trust certificates THE EVENING MAGAZINE ELEVATOR IN THE FirLpD. The Revista Artilerie, a military paper published in Bucharest, Roumania, is in- formed that the German Army adopted eighteen months £E ago a very ingenl- ous system of field observatory, in- tended to replace the captive bal- loons when the latter are not con- venient. This field observatory is a comparatively simple apparatus, which is shown in n> : cas, oO Oe It re- THE GERMAN much the folding ARMY. ladders used by the fire departments, and consists of a long ladder in three sections, with 4@ platform conveniently erected at the top. At the present time when information as to the surrounding country is wanted, and captive balloons are not within call, men are de- talled to climb to a high tree or to some Other favorable point of vantage, which at any rate is a slow and unreliable method. In the new observatory an officer steps upon the platform and then {s slowly raised until the full extension has been attained. It is evident that this simple contrivance can be of great utility in active service. GOOD NEWS FOR SNORERS. Richard Jacks, a Wyandotte County (Kan.) farmer has™.formed a company ealled the “Sanitary Investment Assocla- tion,”’ which was granted a charter by the Secretary of State, at Topeka. The com- pany will turn out some tens of thousands of anti-snorers a week. The anti-snorer.

The electric current «was generated by forty-eight cells of a Groves battery, the size of each cell being of a capacity of one pint. In 1860 the cars were exhibited in the city of New York, and there, as elsewhera at- tracted considerable attention. For some reason, however, the principles embodied in this great novelty were not immediately seized upon by electrical engineers, and for many years very little progress was made in the art.

It is the highest-priced snuff In the world and its value is increased several times above the original cost after the customs duties have been paid to the Italian Government, His Holiness has a delicate sense of smell.

Would it not suffice for the street sprink- lers to drive in the middle of the street while sprinkling? This would leave a small margin of dry street on either side for wheelmen.

TWLAGD OF THE WFANT CLISS State Sunday School Teachers Diseuss Work and Meth- ods in Primary Grades. MRS. RANKEN’S BRIGHT TALK. STORY OF A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS MUCH PLEASED WITH A PICTURE OF HELL. ae eit THE COUNTRY TEACHER’S WOES Morning Session of the Convention iven Over Entirely to the La- dies and They Made It Most Interesting. —_ «+ eee Thursday morning was a sort of ladies’ Gay at the State Sunday-school Convention fn Pilgr'm Church, It was devoted to primary classes and work. Mrs. W. J. Semelroth, State Primary Superintendent, presided, and all the speak- ers were women, It was one of the most iIn- teresting sessions held during the three days of the convention. “When I Was a Little Girl” was the sub- ject of an address made by Mrs. Robert Ranken, one of the most successful primary Sunday-echool teachers in St. Louts. She related many pathetic and touching little — and amusing stories of her child- oO od. In those days little children were expected to be seen and not heard, and the best teacher was the one who could keep the touched on the difference between the Sunday-school class of then and now, and the great improvement in the methed of teaching since she was @ little 4 r i ehe advised the primary teachers to keep their children interested all the time in their work, and never to give them lessons that required too much thinking. She ad- vised the teachers not to try to picture a material heaven and hell to children of too tender ages. When she was a little girl geome one showed her and a second Ilttle girl two pictures, one of heaven and the other hel’. Heaven was not much of a picture. It Was composed of angels, all with their mouths open, a)! looking exactly alike and with the same expressions upon their faces. The little girls were told that those angels were singing hallelujah, and would Keep on sine .ng it for ever. On the hell canvas was a great big roar- ing fire. Léttle black devils were hopping about, stirr- ne and poking it up and seemed to be having a fine time. “©, dun’t let's be good and go to heaven and have to sing always,’ exclaimed Mrs. Kanken's other little girl, ‘‘but let’s be and have a good time IiKe are doing in the picture.’’ Mrs. Ranken told the teachers ff they loved the children and the children loved them great foundations may be laid in the priwinary class. Mrs. J. N. Pfaff, a pretty and earnest woung teacher at Jonesbury, spoke on ‘‘Pri- mary Work in the Country.” She told of the . difficulties encountered t[n country churches in getting separate rooms for the rimary classes. She said little children iked to feel that they were not being Blizghted, and nothing Interested them in their study and attendance more than a room of thetr own.’’ When Mrs. Pfaff got her separate room she had Jittle chairs, one for each child, and dis- pensed with benche The result was her children became interested in their Sunday Bschool, and she hias been able to accomplish much more than if she had continued to huddle up the infant class in one corner of the Sunday-school room. Mrs. W. J. Semelroth, made an address on “Music in the J’rimary Class.” She ad- vised teachers to selact the songs carefully and sing them so the children catch the epirit of them, She teaches her pupils fhe Meaning of the words, consequently they sing understandinely and with their hearts. She illustrated several songs she had found popular wiih the children by singing them to the accompaniment of a piano. “Grading and Promotion’ wags treated of by Mrs. A. A. Puxton of Kansas City. She earnestiy urged that all Sunday-school Classes be graded and organized according to the ages and capabilities of the puplls. When this is done, she said, there few cases of boys “getting too old for Sun- day-school.” A teacher pupils. Mrs, Buxton colored boy who was brought to her Sun- day-school in Kansas City.

They showed no objections, but their os did, and the colored boy had to an hour to eave the class, Mrs. Semelroth devoted half “Practical Primary Work."’ The most va}l- uable hint ehe could f've primary teachers Was to be on time. And by being on time she meant being half an hour ahead of time, and she impressed ihis upon them for many reasons. Teachers arriving early at the Sunday- echool can be their owu janitors. They can see to the fire and to the proper ven- tilation of the room. They can meet the new scholars and have a chance to Fay a few words to them that she would | havé during the half or three-quarters of an hour of the class. The convention spent ten minutes In noon | Prayer and then adjourned for luncheon, Thureday afternoon the primary and ju- mior conferences met. There was a thirty minutes discussion on outside work of teachers, led by Mrs. M. Park and another half hour's discussion, led by Mrs. Semel- roth, on “Needful Appliances and Plans for the Quarter.” The afternoon’s work of the regular con- vention consisted of addresses on depart- ment work, M.

THE NEIGHBORS KNEW OF IT. ———_. = BUT THEY DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS A CONTRACT WEDDING TILL LATER. THEN THE GOSSIPS TALKED. The Second Wedding Was a Concession to Mrs. Shirk’s Prejudices in Favor of Regularity in Hymeneal Affairs. , The filing of a suit for divorce by Mrs. Ida’ C. Shirk against Judge William S&S. Shirk Wednesday brings to light the story of a double life. Judge Shirk is one of the best known men in Miesour!l. He has been for years Asso- ciate Counsel of the Missour! Pacific Rail- road. He was a candidate last fall for Judge of the Missouri! Supreme Court. He has a family of grown sons and daugh- ters in Sedalia and has a beautiful home there. He lived fifty-seven years before entering on the double life that promises to be laid bare in the divorce court. As counsel for the Mirsour! Pacific, Judge Sbirk maintained two offices, one at Sedalia and the other in St. Louls. The world looked upon him as a widower JUDGE WM. 8. SHIRK. fast approaching the age when men are usu- ally averse to matrimony. e was of a reticent nature and his St. Louls associates knew little of him except in a business way. They knew nothing of Mrs. Ida Tucker, a widow who kept a furnished room house at 2337A Olive street. They did not even know that Judge Shirk roomed there when in St. Louls. But the neighbors knew it. They knew also that a telegram to Mrs. Tucker always preceded Judge Shirk’s visits to St. Louis, The little widow would bustle around and get her best room ready for the Judge. In April, 1896, Mrs. Tucker told her neigh- bors she was going South to see her son Charley. She left St. Lou's about the same time Judge Shirk left Sedalia to go West on legal business for his road. The Little widow returned toward the end of May. When her neighbors called her Mre. Tucker she corrected them and told them her name was Mrs. Shirk and that her husband, the Judge, was on his way to join her. Judge Shirk showed up a few days later and with his wife was the recipient of con- gratulations from the neighbors. The wid- ow’s son Charley dropped in about the same time and the thrée felt .so good they went supper. But to all the world except his neighbors on Olive street Judge Shirk was still a widower. At his office in the Equ'tablg Building he never said a word about his marriage. |. On his frequent visits to Sedalia his home ' life there was as if noth'ng had happened, The lady who was known on Olive street as Mrs. Shirk, removed a month later to 3304 Locust street. She rented the house as Mrs. Shirk, and the Judge joined her there later.

The principal offense charged against the husband fs that August 1 he forced her into a big ice chest and locked the door so that she could not escape for a long time. When the door was finally opened by some one else she was almost exhausted from the combined effects of cold and suffoca- tion. The lo@®king up in the ice chest, she says, was the last of many indignities he had heaped upon her uno oe head. She charges that during all of their mar- ried life he never bought her any wearing apparel, compelling her to dress herselk,, She says he pawn her jewelry to get money for himeelf, and left it with the pawnbroker until her mother furnished the money to redeem It, Another charge is that he abused and mistreated her daughter by a former mar- riage. -She asks for divorce, alimony and the restoration of her former name, Erba A.

She exerted her whole strength, but failed to budge the door. She went out the back door and around to the front to see what was the trouble. She found a row of nails driven through the door into the casing, and, as an extra precaution, a heavy iron bar was fastened across the sill. While Mrs. Barry was ga@ng on the mys- terious fastenings the sound of a laugh came from next door, where her landlady, Mrs. Matilda Locke, lives. “Now, will you get out’ she heard a voice ask. Then there was another peal of laughter. This made Mrs. Barry hot. ‘No, I won’t get out; but I'll call the po- lice,’’ she shouted. Grabbing her bonnet Fourth D‘strict Station. She told Sergt.

AN EASTERN SCHEME DEFEATED BY THE MERCHANTS’ TRANS- PORTATION ASSOCIATION, FREIGHT RATES OVERCOME. Rebate Offered Gives the Texas Buyer in This Market an Eight- Cent Advantage Over New York. Poor old New York? The last prop hasbeen knocked from under her hopes in th® big dry goods fight she has been conducting against the pro- pressive dry goods merchants of St. Louis. The Western Passenger’ Association, through Chainman Caldwell, has notified the Merchants’ Association of New York that a reduced rate west of the Mississippi ' cannot be granted by the roads in the Asso- clation. New York has the reduced rate east of the river, but is by this action practically cut off from competing with St. Louis for the trade of the West, and par- ticularly of Texas. The story of the fight that has been made is interesting. All of the merchants of St. Louis are greatly concerned In it, although it was purely a dry goods fight. With the advantage of favorable railroad rates and low water rates v.a the Guif, New York formerly held the trade of Texas in a tight egrip. With wonderful push and energy the dry goods men of St. Louis set to work six years azo to get this business. They have suc- ceeded beyond their expectations, for St. Louis has become the greatest distributing market in the world for domestics and in general lines of dry goods she has stocKs ual to the best in the United States. So far this epring and summer the St. Louis dry goods houses have sold 40 per cent more goods than for the same period of last year. This increase applies also to affiliated lines, such as shoes, hats, millinery, etc., for the country merchant almost invariably buys these lines where he gets his dry goods. New York has forever lost the Texas trade, though strenuous efforts were made to get Texas merchants to take advantage — ee a Disease is like a quick- sand; you sink into it a little at atime.

Jordan, Esq., of Corbin, Whitley Co., Ky., writes: ‘About twoand a half years ago when I was at Flat Lick, Ky., I was taken with severe ins in chest, after which I began to spit up flood and was also troubled with night-sweat I was so short winded that I could hardly well half a mile at ouce, and if I got the teast pit weatied I would have an attack of phthisic (as- thma) and almost die. I concluded to try Dr. R. V.

There is no substitute for these ‘‘ Pellets,"’ no matter what any druggist may say. Th régulate and invigorate the Biomteck, diver and Bowels, without stopping. This shrewd but unprincipled move was headed off by the St. Louis men, They sent their customers certificates in which they agreed to furnish free transportation to any merchant who would buy over $3,000 worth of goods in this market. The Texas customer bought his ticket to St. Louls and began his purchasing. When ready to go home his certificate was vised by the Merchants’ Transportation Associa- tion after the aggregate amount of his urchases in this market had been verified. @ was then given free transportation nome and his fare this way returned to m. St. Louls merchants are holding the New York men’s coveted Texas trade Dy an- other clever scheme. The actual rate from St. Louis to common points in Texas is $1.30 a hundred. The rate from New York to Galveston and from there to common points In Texas, added to the marine in- surance charges, is $1.08%. That would give the New Yorker the advantage, but the four big St. Louis dry goods houses have stepped into the breach and guaranteed a rate of $1 to TeXas commom points, and the charge of the railroads in excess of this is rebated by the St. Louis dry goods houees. This cost money, but it is emterprise and that is what has made St. Lowis great. Ten Texas merchants who stopped here en route to New York last Saturday were waited on by the local dry goods houses and offered the advantages named above, They saw the point and went no further. One of these merchants, Mr. R. W. Hig- nbotham, with three stores at Dublin, De eon and Stephenville, Tex., has bought $45.000 worth of goods here. The others have bought heavily. The reign of New York in the West anda Southwest is at an end, St. Louis hag the goods to sell, and the en- terprise to sell them cheap enough to hold the trade. TRYING TO GET A PLATFORM, The American Party Wrestles With Its Many Resolutions. The new American party sat In solemn silence at Druid’s Hall from 9 until 12:30 o'clock Thursday morning and then filed out to lunch. It was waiting for Col. E. H. Sellers and his committee on resolutions to return with the platform. The Colonel was in executive session un- til -late Wednesday night and resumed his labors Thursday, vainly endeavoring to agree upon an “enunciation of principles.’’ He found -his committee self-willed and somewhat inclined to a platform of its own. It chafed and stampéd and wouid not be curbed, whereat the Colonel wag as- tonished and d sturbed, lt was apparent Thursday that A. P. A. influences were largely at work in the gath- ering. Col. Sellers is himself a member of the society, and geveral of the delegates had’ been sent to attend the convention from a spirit of investigation. The platform committee contained three. fourths of the Amertfcan party delegates, and that body not having returned at noon, no session was héld. It was presumed there would be a meet- ing again jin the afternoon. BIG PICTURE OF THE OUTFIT SS Capt.

PER HIR But All the Same It Is Likely to Prove Profitable If Properly Worked. Alderman We: te introduced an ordinance fn the House of Delegates Tuesday night, providing for a franchise that will rival Col. Ed Butler's garbage monopoly 4s a money maker. Mr. Weeke's bi)! #s an ordinance to regu- late the sanitary disposition of street sweepings, stable manure, store rubbish, weeds and all othér refuse Matter now dumped in the river. The franchise is to H. W. Beldsmeter, and he js to maintain three plants at which to carry on the work, located as follows: One in the vicinity of Madison street, be- tween Broadway and the river, another at or near Gratiot street between Twelfth and the rfver. and a third in the vicinity of Cherokee street between Broadway and the river. Mr. Beld@*meter is required to give a bond of $2.00 to hold the city blameless from any derelictions of duty on his part, and his operations are to be subject to the direction of the Board of Health. The plants are to be begun six months after the franchise is granted, and in operation three months thereafter. Mr. Beldsmeicr said: ‘It will take con- siderable capital to maintain the plants, and a great deal to establish them. I pre- fer not to say who will be associated with me in the business, but if we didn’t think we could make it pay we wouldn't touch it, I prefer not to discuss my plans until get the franchise, which is to run for twenty-five years.”’ Col. Ed Butler, asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter what he thought of the Weeke bill, said: “It is similar to a great many that have preceded it. There is a fortune in that scheme. For years I have been try- ing to organize a company with $1,000,000 capital to do the same thing, but have been unable to do go. “The Weeke ordinance, if it becomes a law, will in no way conflict with the St. Louls Sanitory Works. “Positively, I have no Interest in the schéme, and won't have unless the people behind it prove to me they have money. Hereafter when I go into a scheme the other fellow has got to put up the money. I will furnish abundant experience. “The three plants mentioned in the ordl- nance can not be put in proper operation for less than $300,000, Therefore there must be big money behind this scheme. The refuse meant in the ordinance makes the best of fertilizer, worth not less than $5 a ton, and there is a ready demand for it. My idea was to have five stations or plants near freight depots where we could bale the stuff and ship it to farmers. “IT am left out on this deal. In fact, I've got as much as I can attend to anyhow.” SAVED MONEY TOGETHER. But the Lover Went Away With His Sweetheart’s Share. Within the prosaic walls of the Four Courta warrant office Wednesday Miss Gertie Smith of Lee avenue unfolded a tale of romance. And to her that romance had an unsatis- factory termination. Miss Smith told Acting Prosecutor Braden that a few weeks ago she and her sweet- heart entered into an agreement to pool their savings. They would keep a bank account together and vie with each other in the accumulation of a fund on which to gO to housekeeping after their wedding at geome future date. M'ss Smith had $200 at hand, and while enthusiastic on the subject of saving, she gave the money to her sweetheart, with the understanding that he would deposit it in bank. Since that t:me she has not seen him, neither has she heard from him. Prosecutor Braden informed the young woman that there was no need of issuing @ warrant until the whereabouts of the al- leged embezzier are learned, “What is his name?’ the prosecutor asked. “Weil, I'l] not tell you his name unless I set a warrant,” the young woman re- piied., She also declined to give her address, ex- cept that she lives on Lee avenue. “When you appear here with sufficient in- formation I will give you a warrant,’” ex- Plained the prosecutor, DESPERATE FROM HUNGER, > Ed Brown Smashed a Jeweler’s Win- dow and Snatched Three Watches. Driven to desperation by the pangs of hunger, a man who gives the name of Ea Brown thrust his clenched fist through a showcase at H. R. Solomon's jewelry etore, 1311 Market street, Wednesday noon and Stole three gold watches. Solomon keeps a display showcase in front of hie store. Brown passed by and paused to look at the jewelry.

(Then the Boss President and His Secretary Go Fish- ing. President Von der Ahe and Secretary Muckenfuss of the St. Louis Browns went fiehing yesterday. But before going they signed Billy Earle to play behind the bat for the Browns. Earle was at Cincinnati, and after signing by telegraph he was or- dered to go rght East and join the Browns at Washington. Earle and Morgan Murphy will now do all the Browns’ catching and Douglass will be played regularly at right fleld, which means that Tuck Turner will be released. Earle writes to Von der Ahe that he is in fine shape and ready to play the game of his life. Earle is a Philadelphia boy. He played with Nashville in 1886, with u- luth in 1887, with St. Paul in 1888. He caught fifty-six championship games for the latter, and his clever work led to his engagement at the close of the season by A. G. Spalding, who was then organiz- ng a combination to tour around the world. Carle caught the swift pitching of Crane and Healy for the All-American team, cap- tained by John M. Ward, which, in combi- nation with the Chicago Club’s team, made @® tour of the world during the winter of I888-89. In 1889 Earle caught for the Cin- cinnati Club of the American Agesoctation, his release hav'ng been purchased from the Bt. Paul Club. Like the majority of the men who made that memorable trip around the world, he did not show up as well as usual during the following season. Having hurt his hand, Earle was released by the Cincinnati Club, and his next engagement Was with the St. Louie Browns in 1890. He caught in his best form for S'oux City in 1891, and ranked high in the official fielding Averages of the Western Association at the Close of that season. At the commence- ment of the season of 1892 Earle was enh- aged as one of the catchers of the Pitts- urg Club of the National League and American Association. The team, however. paying too many catchers, he was feleased efore he had a fa'r opportunity to show his ability, and he then accepted an engage- ment with the Seattle Club of the Pac.fie Northwest League, and did splendid work for that club until the Pacific Northwest disbanded. The Birmingham Club of the Bouthern League then signed Earle and he finished the season there. His more recent engagements are known to the base ball world. He was under reservation to the Cincinnat!: Club. Earle is a clever catcher, handling wth ease the swiftest and wildest itching, and throwing accurately to the ases, He is also a timely and reliable hitter and a fleet base runner, this in con- nection with his clever catch!ng making him a valuable acquisition to any profes- Sional team. ; , FROM CAIRO LAND. ——— © oa All the People Are Coming on Sunday to See Their Pets Play Ball.

Davies Talks of His New Aspirant Heavyweight Honors. for A new aspirant for heavyweight honors will soon declare himself in a substantia! way. The new comer is Armstrong, who wll take the place in the prize ring vacated a couple of years ago by Peter Jackson. Like the latter the new comer is a negro, Parson Davies, the impressario of the prize ring and who long ago had Jackson under his wing, came to St. Louis yester- day. He was at the Fair Grounds races in the afternoon with Col. John D. Hopkins. Puring the afternoon the two visited the press stand, and while there they talked of pugilistic matters in general and of Arm- strong in phfticutar, Davies has long looked aver the business affairs of that great pugilist, Joe Choynski, and he also has the affairs of Armstrong in charge. ‘I look on Armstrong,’ said Davies yes- terday, ‘‘as the coming heavyweight. He is a better man than Peter Jackson in the latter's best days and that means that he is good enough to make a stand off with any of the heavyweights of the present day. I have had him spar with Choynski and he easily holds his own with Joe. “Armstrong has youth, weight and height at his back. He stands six feet four inches in his stock'ng feet, is of greyhound build, and yet will welgh nearly two hundred pounds. He is quick as Lghtning on his feet, has a great reach and is the gamest black man I ever saw. “Pretty soon I will issue a challenge for him to fight any man in the world, and the challenge will be backed up by a pretty piece of money. “T have seen Armstrong,’’ said Col]. Hop- kins. ‘Il honestly consider him the greatest heavyweight in America to-day. But he is black and that means that he will have a hard time getting on matches with the best of them."’ Col. Hopkins seems to be very sore at Kid McCoy. “IT have offered McCoy all sorts of in- ducements to meet Creedon,’’ said the Col- onel, “‘but he won't come to any sort af an agreement with us, He has ignored my letters and telegrams and has _ acted throughout Ike anything but the game man he {js said to be. I have had parties offer a $12,000 purse. I have agreed that the winner shall take 70 per cent of th's, and so that there can be no misunderstanding af- terwards, I have agreed that the winner shall also take the whole interest in the verascope pictures of the fight. Now, if McCoy thought he had a cinch, he would have accepted my offer in a hurry.

Hopkins and Parson Daves are here efit to It will be tendered Dan Creedon. a O- $5 oe ———_——_ THEY ARE IN GENERAL USE NOW IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. HOW THEY CAME TO GET THERE In Many Cases There Has Been Very Good Cause for Ab- breviation. Nicknames in the base ball line are all the go, and nearly every player in the big League is just now called by some other name than his right one. Joe Quinn, so dear to St. Louis fans, all over the Eastis now known as the “Under- taker."’ Joe, in the winter time, follows the business of an embalmer. The St. Louis boys, Peitz and Breitenstein, are called “pretzel battery.’’ Their native German jove for pretzels and beer won them that title. When President Von der Ahe released Shortstop Ely the papers gave him a roast- ing. To these roasts Secretary Mucken- fuss replied: ‘Yes, Ely is a great short- stop. But he has only one lung.” Ever since then that player has been known as One Lung Ely; and he is a very healthy player at that. Dick Cooley, late of the Browns, is called the “‘Kansas Grasshopper.”’. He hails from Kansas. Anson of Chicago has long been called by Chicago papers ‘“‘Grandpa’”’ Angon and “‘the old man of the game.”’ Robinson of the Baltimores is ‘‘Robby” for short, and Hoffer of that team is al- ways “the Wizard.” Childs, the little fat man who plays at second for Cleveland, has ever been known as “Cupid” Childs. Zimmer of that team is of stalwart frame, and has a face much resembling that of a famous Indian chief. These things have won for him the soubriquet, “Big Indian Zianmer.”’ Callahan of the Chicagos is always plain “Cal,” and Griffiths of that team always Diain “Grif.’’ Donahue of the Chicagos to the cranks has no other Christian name than that of “Bridget,’’ while Everett of that team is “Big Bill, the wild and woolly colt.’’ There were two Smiths on the Cincinnati team when George Smith played there. To distinguish between them George was called “Germany” Smith, and the name has clung to him. La Chance of the Washington Club is the “Frogeater’” on account of is French b:rth, and Farrell of that team is the ‘Duke of Marlborough” simply because he is a good-looking chap and hails from Marl- boro, Mass. Grady of St. Louis christened Killen of Pittsburg Pat and the name has stuck to him. His right name is Frank Kiilen. While pitching against the Browns one day Grady from the coaching lines shouted, “That ain't Frank Killen pitching That's a mick named Killen and his right name's Pat.” The name has clung to him ever since. No one in St. Louis can remember when Billy Joyce of the New Yorks was not called “‘Scrappy’’ Joyce. Billy life in the rolling mill at Carondelet and while there won the name “Scrappy.’’ His right name, of course, is William. Corcoran of the Cincinnatis is plain “Corkey” on the field and McPhee of that team has always been Known as “Biddy” McPhee. The latter has a face much re- sembl.ng that of a joliy Irish girl, and hence the name, Tiernan of the New Yorks Is called “Si- lent Mike,”’ because he was never known to break silence during a game. Beckley of the Cincinnatis hails from Hannibal, Mo., and has b n known a long while as ‘“‘Eagle Eye Jake, the Hero of Hannibal.” , All alone the line they call Miller of Cin- cinnati ‘‘Dustv’’ Miller and ali because he raises so much dust while running tne bases. Van Haltren of the New Yorks is always referred to as “Van,” and Gleason of that team has always been the “‘the Kid."’ ~ The latter probably received that name for the reason that he still looks like a boy. Davis of New York is “the masher.” He got his sweethearts letters mixed one day was Sued for breach of promise, etc., an hence the name which now clings to him. Clark of New York,.has always been called Big Bill, and Seymour, one of the pitchers of that team, has been the ‘“‘as- ecensionist’ owing to his propensity for going up in the air when nit hard, Tenny,. Boston's great first baseman, {5S the “collegian.”” He was graduated from Harvard. When Tommy McCarthy and Hughey Duffy both played on the Boston team they were called the ‘‘Heavenly Twins. They were such a beautiful pair of kickers. Big Jack St vetts of the Bostons is the “(Coal Miner.”’ He worked ina Pennsylvania coal mine before play ms ball professionally. Burkett of Cleveian on the field is “Crab’’ Burkett.. He is such a slow run- ner the name fits him well and sticks to Jack O’Connor of Cleveland ts always known as “Happy Jack’’ because he wavs smiling, and his side partner, Teheau, ‘s Known’ as Pat because Jack christened him that name when they played ball together in Kerry Patch and when it wouldn't be safe for an Oliver to play there.

O. t'.—Silver King was 3 years old his last birthday. A Subscriber.—A base ball player who signs a National League contract is bound to the club he signs with, until such time as that club sees fit to grant him his release. F. and M.—When there is a man on first and the batter strikes at three P tched balls without hitting one of them, and the catcher misses the ball on the third strike the bats- man is out. There is no catcher throwing the ball to first. MM. H. F.—John L. Sullivan in his day stood ready to meet ail comers. After Mitchell had accidentally knocked Sullivan down in their boxing match in Madison Square Sullivan knocked Mitchell all around the ring until the police interfered. Sullivan has a common schoo) education. A. and B.—In 1892 there were two seasons to the League race. In the first half of the season Boston won the most games. In the second half Cleveland won the most. The two clubs then played @ series to see which was entitled to the pennant and Boston won. So Cleveland has really never won a pen- nant.

QUICK MARKET STREET FIRE Building at the Corner of Nin Gutted in a Few Minutes. | i For quick fires that in the three-story brick building at the northwest corner of Ninth and Markets streets Thursday morn- ing breaks the record. When Patrolman Hanrahan, who was standing on the opposite corner at 3 o'clock, first saw the fire the glare showed only faintly through two of the rooms on the second floor. He turned in an alarm, but be- fore the last bell had sounded the flames had broken from the windows on the sec- ond floor, climbed to the third story of the building and were shooting skywards. After they got on the scene the work of the firemen was faster than the progress of the fire. The flames burned out the thin partitions on the upper two stories and the floor between the second and third and destroyed a lot of furniture stored in the building. The loss on all was not over $i,- 000. The fire started on the second floor, where John Ferguson had stored the furniture and carpets he had used in the Grand Hotel, at Ninth and Chestnut streets. He gave up his lease on the hotel a few months ago. No one knows the cause of the fire. It caught in a pile of mattresses and sofas, and the remainder of the furniture was de- stroyed before the firemen arrived. Fer- guson’s loss is $2,000; insured for $1,000. The loss on the building, which belongs to Warren Hilton, is $4,000, fully insured. No one slept on the second or third floors. The ground floor was occupied by A. W. Schrick & Co., saloon; M. L. Franklin, dental specialties; A. A. King & Co., elec- trical repairs , and as branch headquarters of the Salvation Army. Water leaked down into these stores and caused small damage. All the Chinamen living in Hop alley, half a square away, turned out to see the fire. It was something new to some of them and they ran around, jabbering at each other and saw the fire from every point of view. They stayed on the scene until the hose had been picked up by the firemen and the last reel had rolled away. Wabash Excursion to Mackinac and Return $7.00.

Although her mind was stil!) dazed as she lay on a bed in Rev. Peter Ilgen’s pretty home at Page and Grand avenues, she rec- ognized her father. Happiness and sorrow seemed mingled in the meeting of the father and daughter. As Jennie’s elder sister, Liz- zie, and the Rev. Mr. Ilgen, the girl's pas- tor and employer, stood at the bedside, both her father and the minister gently questioned her in the hope of hearing the story of her wanderings, but she said that most of the time since she left the par- sonage was a blank to her. As she was weak and well nigh prostrated, she was left alone with her sister, while her father, a sturdy, middle-aged man, brown-bearded an determined-looking, went away. “I will never rest unt!] I trace the move- ments of my girl since she left the par- sonage,”’ he said. €99000009909000 9909008009090 D 9900900909 9999900090000 000 WHO HAS THE BIGGEST PEACH? weighing s%\% cumferences: and one-half (10%) ounces. one-half (9%) ounces. “Who can beat it?” We can beat it.

Mrs. Williams on Thursday evening saw the account of the missing Jennie Iten in the Post-Dis- patch, with the girl's picture, “Why, you are Jenn‘e Iten,” Mrs. Wil- liams said to the stranger, but the girl denied she was Jennie. Friday morning, Mrs, Willlams urged her to return to her former place of oy 8 ment, still believing she was Jennie Iten, The girl went away, but returned. She was crying in Mrs. Williams’ home on Fri- day when Mrs. Brinkman came in. Mrs. Brinkman was impressed with the appear- ance of the pretty girl and offered to give her shelter. “But 1 will have to make my brother sleep on a pallet of gtraw,’’ she sald. Shortly afterwards Jennie left, apparent- ly to go to Mrs. Brinkman’s home, That night Mrs. Brinkman found the girl surrounded by a crowd at Franklin avenue and Tenth street. She was crying and seemed dazed. The woman took her ‘ JENNIE ITEN. “If you find a man has been responsible for her sufferings, what then?’ he was asked, “Why, I'll kill the man and my friends will stand by me,” said the father, as he Started to hunt up a friend with the in- tention of borrowing a revolver. It Was the father who first learned where the missing girl was to be found. After an ‘Search of the darkest spots of the city, he had been called back to his home in High- land,- lil, by the death of a relative. Wednesday evening he was at the Helvetia Condensed Milk Creamery, where he is en- ineer, when a telegram was handed to im. It was dated at St. Louis and said: Your daughter is at 1009 Wash street. iRS. BRINKMAN. The happy father hurried to a telegraph office and wired the news to his old pastor, Rev. Petro Ilgen. Wednesday night Iten received a second Gtapateh. It sa.d: “Jennie at our home. Will take best care till you come. Be of good faith. ARV. P. ILGEN,” The father was the first aapengor to board the first train which left the Illino's Own Thursday morning for 8t. Louls, anu ather and daughter soon embraced each Other. When the minister received the telegram from Iten Wednesday evening, he took his man servant and hurried to 108 Wash Street. In emall but clean apartments above a etore he found a short, stout woman, She was Mre. Brinkman, who showed the min- pater into a2 room where the missing girl ay. enn’'e lten burst into teara as she heard the well-known voice of the Rev. Mr. ligen who christened her when a babe in the old church at Highland, and who had taken her into his home after he came to 8r. u's Mrs. Brinkman, who lives tn the apurt- ments with her husband and her brother, with the aid of @ neighbor, Mra. Williams. a@ colored Woman, of 100 North Tenth street, told how Jennie happened to be found tn the nel@hborhood Thursday morning of last week Mrs. W't- liams was on her way from market, when ashe saw a pretty, brown haired e'rl weep- home. She told conflicting stories. She was drowsy and slept almost all of Satur- day when not crying. Near mid- night Saturday Mrs. Brinkman was alarmed by the girl's condition, With Mrs. Williams she took her to M. J. Sheahan’'s drug store, Franklin avenue and Kleventh street, where the girl was given some medicine to quiet her. Sunday and Monday she was melancholy and drowsy. Tuesday morning the girl was taken to Dr. Etavard, 1323 Franklin avenue. He was told of her cruel experiences while wandering around the city. She said that after she had been first drugged in the Mar- ket street hotel, another man several days later, gave her rough treatment, When given an emetic the girl vomited a green substance, but there was no apparent evi- denee that she had taken polson. Wednesday, while the girl was asleep, Mrs. Brinkman peked up the. stranger's dress and a morphine bottle dropped from ite folds. From the story published in the Post-Dis- peteh, Mrs. Brinkman was convinced her strange guest was Jennie Iten. She con- sulted with Mrs, Williams, and then sent the telegram which reunited: father and daughter in the parsonage of their old pas- tor. The father of the girl ts now searchin for the man who drugged his daughter an the father had a loaded revolver. There are four hotels at Sixth and Mar- ket etreets, one on each corner. The Home Hotel is on the southeast corner, the Del- mar on the northeast, the Windsor on the southwest and hotel without name on the northwest corner. Thie one has no regis- ter, but the woman in charge sa‘d she was sure no girl had stopped there alone for three months. on the registers of the other hotels for Friday, the day of Jennio Iten's disappear- ance, was no entry of any single woman. They eagh said that single women were not acceptable as guests, At none of the hotels was a complaint made by a woman guest that a man had broken in the door and assaulted her after drugging her. + CASH WHEAT RULED STRONG.

This was 6%c above yesterday’s close. It was but another illus- tration of the strength of the September bull pool, the power put into the “squeeze’’ being emphasized by the routine news. Very little September came on to the mar- ket until the high mark had been reached, but it was let go of in liberal quantities there and a reaction to 99c followed. The price then recovered to $1. Considerable more December wheat changed hands than September. It opened at from 945@c to S4%c, an advance of 1%@1%c and sold up to 9c during the tumult in September. Then it reacted to $4%c. The strength of December outside of the influence the ad- vance in the September had. on it, came from the higher cables, light Northwest receipts, only 196 cars being reported at Minneapolis and Duluth, com- pared with a year ago and from the foreign crop reports, Paria advices esti- mated the French crop at 100,000,000 bushels less than last year and stated that pros- ects were good for the removal of the ‘rench duty on wheat. The trouble in In- dia it expected to greatly interfere with shipments of wheat from that country. The market became quieter about an hour from the opening with September holding at about $1 and December 9$2%c.

Three full-blooded Chinese women were in St. Louls Wednesday afternoon and even- ing and created a great sensation among the Chinamen of Hop alley and vicinity, The women were Mrs. Sing, Mrs. Tom and Mrs. Wing, wives of Chinese merchants in San Francisco. With their husbands they were en route to New York. In this city the merchants had some bus!- ness to transact and they put in the after- noon at the wholesale stores, while their wives went out to see the town. They saw some of it and wound up in Charley Wo's Chinese restaurant, on Highth street. On the streets the women attracted no end of attention and every man and woman who passed them turned around to have an- other look. The women were quite small, all being less than four feet tall. They were young, the eldest not over 30. The youngest, Mrs. Tom, scarcely looked 2. They were dressed alike, in black silk skirts with striped silk shirt waists, and each wore a jaunty sallor straw hat. Their faces were covered with light, transparent veils, and they looked like American women except their feet. They wore Chinese shoes that pinched their lit- tle feet and compelled them to mince their steps and amble along the sidewalks, They alighted from a Forest Park car at Sixth and Chestnut streets and with bags of fruit under their arms went mincing and chattering up Market street, paying no at- tention to the looks they were attracting. A moment before their appearance Fighth street was as quiet as usual. A few Chinks sat on the curbings or on the Ddanister rails in front of the Chinese groceries and smoked their pipes. In Hop alley they sat on the door steps and smoked, It was 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon, and work was done. As soon as those women turned the cor- ner of Eighth and Market there was a great commotion. Pigtails flew through the air as the heads of the'r wearers turned to get a look at the spectacie. Every China- ATTRACTIONS: AND WOES FOR HOP ALLEY. oa : THEY TOOK IN THE TOWN. A COMPANY THAT SMUGGLES 600 | CHINAMEN INTO THE UNIT- ED STATES EVERY WEEK. HEAD MEN HARD TO CATCH. —_—_— The result of Spec'al Treasury Agent Chamberlain's raid on the Chinese was unsatisfactory, not only because over fif- ty Chinamen without papers escaped, but | one of the principal objects of the raid was not accomplished. Of course the Government was anxious to deport all Chinamen who did not have pa- pers showing their lawful residence in this country, but it also hoped to capture the ringleaders of an organized company that has been smuggling their countrymen into the United States A careful investigation of the increase of Oriental population gince the enactment of the Geary law has been made by Special Treasury Agent Scharff of New York. He made the startling report to the Secretary of the Treasury that Chinese at the rate of 600 per week were being smuggled into the United States. Th‘s alarming report prompted Secretary Gage to place most of the Treasury agents at work on the matter. Special Agents | Chamberlain and Scharff went to work on the New York end of the cage. Dhey discovered that a company was in existence with agents in China. This com- pany’s sole business was to smuggle Chi- namen into the United States. The Treas- ury agents found that béfore leaving China the Celestial who desired a residence in the United States paid the compf&ny'’s agent there $500 in cash. After that he was han- dled by the company as a piece of freight. His fare was paid across the Pacific Ocean, and at Victoria, B. C., $0 was paid to the British Government for landing him there. Then the Chinaman was carried on the Canadian Pacific Railroad to any one of a dozen points on the St. Lawrence River. Chamberlain and Scharff discovered that along the Canadian bank of the river are a score of boatmen who row the contra- band Chinamen across the river and land them at an unfrequented point on the New York side of the river. he boatmen re- ceive $100 fur each Chinaman taken across the stream. They run many risks of being captured and prosecuted, THREE LITTLE CHINESE WOMEN. man jumped to his feet. Chinamen seemed to spring from everywhere. The basements emptied themselves. Chinamen, half-breed women and half-breed children ran out to Eighth street from either side of the alley, The Empress of China couldn't have re- ceived a greater ovation -than did. those three little Chinese women.- The Chinks took off their hats. They bowed low. There was a broad grin upon every face. They had seen half-breed women in Bt. Louis, but nothing like these, The Chinks didn’t follow the women. They merely bowed, smiled, gazed and stood uncovered, crowding each other for a better view. One of the women asked a smiling China- man something. He. bowed and jabbered and trotted away in front of the ladies. When he arrived at the steps leading up- stairs to Charley Wo’s restaurant, he stopped and pointed up. The women thanked him in Chinese and went upstairs. There they met their husbands and had dinner. The dishes are unpronounceable. Rice was a principal ingredient in many of them. They ate fruit all during the meal and were in the restaurant for two hours. During that time all the windows in the houses across the street commanding a view of the dining-room were crowded. Four or five Chinese heads stuck out of each. Those down on the sidewalks hung around the restaurant entrance to see the party come out. Many got hungry and went into the restaurant in arder to be near them. The visiting Chinese created as much ex- citement when they came out. It will be a long time before the St. Louis Chinamen forget the visit of those three women or how they looked. From the St. Lawrence the smuggled Chinamen drift slowly down through New York State so as not to attract attention. When New York ts reached the New York agents of the company ship the Chinese to interior towns. These discoveries of the treasury agents preceded the discovery that the principal members of the company were located in Buffalo, N. Y., and St. Louis. Mr. Scharff remained in New York City to keep an eye on operations in Mott street, while Mr. Chamberlain went to Buffalo. Ten days ago in Buffalo Mr. Chamberlain descended on the Chinese settlement. He found two Chinamen who admitted being smuggled into the country. They were taken to San Francisco and put on board a ship for China. Mr. Chdmberlain was confident that Buf- falo was one of the headquarters of the company, but the operations of the com- pany were so secret that there was little hope of capturing the members or convict- ing them if caught. He hoped for better success in St. Louis and came here. He was furnished by Chief Harrigan with the address of every China- man in the city and his business, so far as the police could ascertain. Then followed the raid, in which thirteen were found without residence papers, and were locked up. But not the least informa- tion could be found concerning the company. Mr. Chamberlain learned that the company had no office and kept no tell-tale books, ret to smuggle 600 Chinamen something like 300,000 every week is handled, Mr. Chamberlain bellevea that the only way to break up the illegal traffi@ is to continue raiding Chinese settlements in every city and town and demanding papers from every Chinaman, as has already been done in Buffalo and 8t. Louis. mestic, and made to meet current require- ments. The’ flour bought was wanted by buyers as quickly as it could be got to them. Foreigners as a rule deemed it best to still hold aloof from the market. Prices of flour have been very irregular and ad- vanced frequently. Superior-Duluth—Four mills are running this week; the output promises to equal last week's: with the wild wheat market last week not much trading was done. Feed has advanced $1 and $1.50 per ton of late, but the mills have I‘ttle to offer, owing to light productions. Flour stocks Saturday were 159.000 barrels vs. 249,000 a year ago. Chicago—In some ways trade was fairly good. With extremely low stocks all of- ferings made by millers are quickly ab- sorbed. As a rule bakers hold light stocks, and the supposition is that when values be- come more settied trade will be much bet- ter. Exporters claim so little winter flour is offered them, and at such prices that they are unable to make sales. Feed has gone sky-high and is scarce, w'th the de- mand good. Milwaukee—Flour was much inquired for, though sales were not Over moderate. — Heavy Shipments From Chicago. CHICAGO, Aug. 2%.—Shipments of grain from the port of Chicago are the heaviest in the history of the lake trade. The ele- vator companies have been in the market for several days ahd are taking about all the boats in sight. Many craft that up to this time have been engaged almost en- tirely in the iron ore trade are being di- verted to the grain trade. Clearances at the Custom-house for the twenty-four hours last night amounted to 1,112,092 bushels of » oes corn and in addition there were nearly half a million bushels of other grains. The enormous crop that is coming In has forced elevator managers to make room for the new grain and the big call for boais is the result. The rise in the rate has forced the freight and iron ore to take an up- ward turn and were it not for the coal miners’ strike, which makes it impossible for boats to get a return cargo, the rates on all coarse freight would be moved up still higher.

Joseph 8. Dunwoody, special agent of the Woman's Humane Society, took desperate chances Wednesday afternoon when he ab- ducted 8-year-old Annie Lee from in fsont of her home, 1620 Pine street. He was chased all the way to the Four Courts by en angry crowd, who, misunderstanding his motive. would have handled him roughly had cher overtaken him. The cfficers of the Woman's Humane So- clety received word several days ago that the little girl wae living with a colored woman named Mary Fleming, who was al- le to conduct a disreputable house at 1 Pine street. Agent Dunwoody was in structed to investigate the case and re- move the*girl, if the facts warranted ft. Dunwoody lojtered about the neighborhood += a and decided to take the girl away. Watching h's opportunity, while Annie was at play on the sidewalk with several companions, he drove his buggy up to the ANNIB LEE. curb, Jumped out, seized the girl and car ri her to the vehicle before she realize; what had happened. She screamed luatily, and her little companions added thetr shrill cries to hers, soundin an alarm that roused the entire ne_ghborhood. Dunwoody preset the child on the seat beside him eld her with one arm and drove rapidly away, just as a crowd of people, white and black, ran up to see what was going on. A glance at the screaming child in the graep of the man in the buggy, driving away at a rap'd rate, sufficed to excite their imaginations to the highest, and with one accord the crowd started in purauit of the bugey, yelling and ehouting threats at the driver. Dunwoody urged the horse cast on Cheat- nut street. At every block the crowd ained fresh additions, and by the time Junwoody had reached the Four Courts he was followed by a howling mob of hw men, women and children, not five of whom, preeey had any idea of the nature of unwoody’'s alleged offense. Dunwoody took the little girl into the sta- tion, while a couple of patrolmen went out- side to scatter the crow’. A few momenta later Mrs Fleming arrived at the station, breathless from her long run, and was taken into Capt. O'Malley's office with the agent and the girl. Mra. Fleming deniea postuves that her house was of bad char- acter, e said that she had conducted a rooming house at 1620 Pine street for thir- teen years, The girl's mother was Minnie Hirth, who ts now living in Missouri out- side of St. Louls. She gave the child to Mrs. Fleming, in whose house it was born. Mrs. Fleming said ehe received regular remittances for the hild’s support from its aunt, who lives in Liton, Til. Capt. O'Malley investigated the character of Mrs. Fleming and the house she conducts and learned that they were above reproach, The little girl was placed in the care of Matron Gilbert for the night, pending an investigation by Chief Harrigan. At ll o'clock Mre. Comstock and other members of the Woman's Humane Soctety called at the Four Courts and conferred with Chief Harrigan. The Chief decided to send the little girl to the Mayor's office with the recommendation that she be committed to the House of Refuge pending the settlement of the controversy over her guardiansh'!p. The Chief was satiefied that Mre. Fleming had established, by her own statements, a pretty fair claim to the child, but he wished further time to investigate. ARGUED WITH A STILETTO.

THURSDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 26, 1897, GUNDED MAN CHN'T BE FOUND John Cella Fired Five Bullets at a Man Known tothe Pol- ice Only as Gibson. THEY FOUGHT ABOUT A WOMAN. GIBSON RAN UP THE STREET AND THE POLICE SAY HE CARRIED A BULLET WITH HIM. BUT THEY CAN’T FIND GIBSON. Bessie Beck Says the Shooting Took Place in Front of Her House, but She Refuses to Tell Any of the Details. The police of the Seventh District are baf- fied by a mysterious shooting on Laclede avenue, between Compton and Leonard ave- nues, at 10 o'clock Wednesday night. John Cella fired five shots ata man named Gibson. The police say that at least one of the shots took effect. Cella was ar- rested half an hour after the shooting. Gibson ran west after being shot and the police have been unable to locate him. They know nothing of his identity, further than that a saloonkeeper at Laclede and Compton avenues says his name is Gibson. Cella is a saloonkeeper on Leffingwell ave- nue, between Olive and Pine streets. The police report gays that the men fought about Mrs. Lessie Beck of 3221A Laclede avenue. A reporter called at that number Thurs- day morning. A ring at the bell was an- swered by a tall, well-formed blonde, about $4 years o'd. She said Mrs. Beck lived next door. She knew nothing about the trouble that occurred in front of her house, save that five shots were fired. At that moment Mrs. Beck came to the door. She is tall and siender, with hair as black as coal and black eyes that sparkle and tlash. Asked about the affair Mrs. Beck said she had nothing to say. ‘hen told that the police had reporte! that the fight was about her, her black eyes flashed as she vehemently denied what the police said. “The men met in front of my door,” she said. “I merely spoke to Mr. Gibson and he did not even come in, I started up-stairs and then heard the shots. I do not know how many shots were fired, nor do I know that Mr. Cella fired them. My back was turned and I could not see. Yes, | am acquainted with both Mr. Gibson and Mr. Celia. I do not know where either of them live.”’ The blonde said: ‘“‘Bessie knows nothing about that shooting. She had been s.tting on the stone steps, but etarted upstairs before the shots were fired. \e don’t want anyth ng in the papers about this and will fay no more about it.” An elderly woman stepped from 38221 and assured the reporter she knew nothing about the affair. She declined to g:ve her name, as did also the blonde. Inquiry in the neighborhood developed the fact that the blonde ts Mre. Henry Carter, living upstairs at 3221A. The elderly wo- man is Mrs. Whitmer, living at 3221 Laclede avenue. The three were asked who Gibson 's. They replied in unison: “‘Ask the police.” Then they slammed the door and entered the house. The neghbors between Compton and leonard avenues were excited over the oc- ourrence, but knew but little about it. The first any of them heard or saw was when the firing began. They rushed to the street and saw Cella standing in front of the flat, with hig re- volver smoking in his hand. Gibson was apr.nting west on Laclede avenue, Policemen from the Seventh District Sta- tion arrived a few minutes after the shoot- ing. They arrested Cella. He declined to make a statement. The policemen questioned the women and neighbors, and jearn:ng nothing took Cella to the station. He was released on bgnd to appear in the Police Court and answer the charwe of discharging firearms. When Capt. Boyd learned this he was net- tled and said a more serious charge should have been preferred. He said Gibson. may have been seriously wounded. He put special per to work on the case, but at noon ad not discovered the wounded man. Cella was seen at the Four Courts on Thursday morning. He positively declined to make a statement. ‘My case will be tried in the courts and you can get the news there,”’ he said, “I will not answer any of your ques- tions.’’ When Cella appeared before Judge Pea- body his case was continued for a week. QUARRELED OVER THE FENCE. The Sinnigs and the Lechners of Caron. delet Get Into Court. Mrs. Sophie Sinnig and her family, Nving At 3231 Minnesota avenue, were arrayed in Judge Zimmerman’s Police Court against Mrs, Lechner and her family, who live at 823 Minnesota avenue. The trouble started because Mrs. Sinniz’s little boy climbed the dividin fences, and Mrs. Lechner stalked him and landed on a part of him with a slat. The boy tumbled off the fence into his own yard and yelled for his mother, who promptly came to the rescue.

THE BENDERS, The Great Murder Mystery Has Been Cleared Up After a Quarter of a Century. A DYING MAN’S CONFESSION. CAPT. CARROLL OF NEBRASKA, ONE OF THE PURSUERS, TELLS THE STORY AT LAST. WILLIAM AND KATE KILLED. Old Mrs. Bender Was Permitted to Es- cape by the Posse and John Afterward Committed Suicide in Texas. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ATCHISON, Aug. 26.—Among the great crimes of Kansas history were the murders committed by the Bender family in Mont- gomery County in 1873. The crimes of the Benders attracted national attention at the time, and there has always been a mystery about what became of them, which, if the confession of a dying man can be believed, is now cleared up. A great many people will no doubt re- member the circumstances. William Bender, his wife, and son, John Bender, and daugh- ter, Kate Bender, lived In a small house a few miles from Independence, Kan., where travelers frequently stopped for food and_ shelter for the night. During those perilous and exciting days men might disappear and months pass before any attention was pald to it. The country was new, and communica- tion with the outside world was irregular. If a traveler, who leoked as if he had money, sat down at the table, he was di- rected to a chair placed in such a manner | that the guest's head would be against a/| curtain which presumably divided off a bed- | room from the dining-room. Kate Bender, | who was only about 21 years of age, would | then take a large ax and strike the stranger a terrible blow on the head from behind the curta'n. He would then be thrown through a trapdoor into a deep pit dug for the pur- pose, and his pockets rifled. After taking all the money from the pockets, the body would be buried in the garden. | SE sae along. He was on his way from the East to Visit his brother, (Alexander M. York, who was at that time State Senator, and who, by the way, is the man who betrayed S. C. Pomeroy, then United States Senator. Pom- eroy as a result being defeated for re-elec- tion, and succeeded by John J. Ingalls. Senator York lived in Montgomery County, and. Dr. York had almost reached h's desti- nation, but decided to put up with the Ben- ders for the night. When Dr. York did not appear in a few days Senator York began an investigation. He was traced to the Bender house, but no further The Benders had disappeared as if the earth had swallowed them up. An investigation revealed many bodies buried about the prem!ses of the Benders, about a dozen of which were dug up, and a number of them !dentified. After that people sup- posed to be the Benders were discovered in — eg of the seed States, but a close ‘estimation reveale i y we wren parties. 41 that they were the The death bed confession of Cant Car. roil, at Beatrice. + _ Neb., three years r which explains the Kansas mv etery "haa 5s acu a nick Capt.

After each officer had taken an oath of secrecy never to divulge what they were about to do, they shot William Bender ful] of holes. Kate Bender was then told that her time had come to die, and she stood unflinch'!nge- ly until several bullets had p'erced her body and then fell to the ground dead. The work was too bloody, and Mra. Bender was told to drive for her life. She got away, His confession was his wife, and Kate In a wagon twenty- me. The posse was ward. The bodies of the Benders were buried, and the graves concealed. John Bender, who was arrested in Texas by a member of the same posse, committed sul- cide. No one ever believed the suic'de was John Bender, but he was the mhn. Starnge to. Say not one member of the posse ever told the story, and those that are living who were in the party will no doubt verify Capt. ‘arroll’s statement if their consciences will permit. The death-bed confession waa made to W. H. Coon, a merchant of Cripple Creek, Colo., who Iived in Montgomery County at the time of the affair. and was selected as one of the posse, but failed to go on account of ilIness. When Capt. Car- roll was informed that he was dying he sent for Coon, and made his confession as related. Coon is thoroughly reliable, and recently related the confession to Judge W. D. Webb, late of the Atchison County Dis- trict Court. MISS FLORA'S FUN CUT SHORT Tumbled Off a Six-Foot Porch and Made Unconscious. Flora Rambatten, a young miss of 18, liv- was having a merry time on the front porch of her mother’s house with some companions, She made a misstep and plunged head first to the brick pavement below, a distance of six feet.

When Frank A. Hill, the heavyweight foreman of the Post-Dispatch composing- room, boarded a Laclede avenue car late Wednesday evening he was accompanied by a pretty little woman whose face was a pic- ture of happiness as she noted every move- ment of her ponderous escort. In the far corner of the car was a little group of pas- sengers who smiled and bowed. ron, there's Mr. Hill and Mrs. Scott. Isn’t this nice weather, Mrs. Scott? And how well you are looking, Mrs. Scott.” Every time they said “Mrs. Scott” Hill's face assumed an apoplectic tint, and he twitched like a man grabbing a live wire. Finally he declared himself. ‘“TLadies and gentiemen,” he said, ‘‘this is not Mrs. Scott. She is Mrs. Frank A. Hil). We were married to-day in Nashville, LIL, and we are just going home. Please don't call her Mrs. Scott any more." Hil admitted with many blushes and Mrs. Scott had taken a day off relatives at Nashville and were there wedded. Mr. Hill was overwhelmed with congratulations, and declared that he was never happier in h.s life. TO SEE THE NASHVILLE SHOW. “Ellen N.”” Employes Given the Trip and Will Have Their Own Music.

The management of the Centennial has granted the band the use of the Aud.torium for the day, and the members propose to furnish music equal, if not better, than any band that has yet been heard at the Centennial.

Goss and Conductor Geo. Bogul made an examination of Graham and discovered he was bleeding freely from a three-inch scalp wound, supposedly re. ceived when he fell on the rail. The injured man, who is said to have been under the influence of liquor, was placed on the car and taken to De Hodia.- mont, where an ambulance was summoned. He was taken to the City Hospital. He was unable to tell the police how he received his injuries. CITY NEWS. Oyeters, first of the season, Sc dos. Wm. G. Milford’s, 27 and NO N.

Andrew Barnett, a conductor, on the Broadway cable line, living at 516 Prairie avenue, Carondelet, requested Capt. Keeble, Wednesday, to arrest his ward, Flora Short, 15 years old. Barnett said the girl had been employed as a domestic in the family of George Craig, Jr., 803 West Haven nt ae up to August 4, at which time she left there. He said the girl had been seen at the nome of Nellie Walsh, 1002 Gratiot street, whose character he assailed. Capt. O’Malley was notified and he found the girl at the Gratiot street address. He sent her to the detention room pend!ng an investigation. Thursday morning he had a conference with the girl, her guardian, the = woman and Mrs. Craig in his private Barnett admitted that he did not know anything derogatory to the gir] except that she had left her place of employment with- out notifying him. Miss Walsh told the Captain that Flora was working with her, sewing pants, and earning fair wages. Mrs. Craig said that Flora had another young sister working as a domestic, and that Rar- nett had been trying to have her sent to the House of Refuge. Capt. O'Malley and Matron Gilbert were both convinced that Flora wasa good girl, and arrangements were made to. se- cure her a position with a famiiy tn Car- ondelet, her guardian consenting.
