INBAU, Alaska, Aug. 2%, via Seattle, Wash., Aug. 80.—Three thousand desperate imen are hopelessly stalled on Skagua trail. The crush of men and horses and the bad- mess of the path have closed it. The rain has begun, the mud is deep and the jagged hill rocks that break horses’ legs and the fown-éloping bench rocks that slide them over into the valley are now too dangerous to even attempt. The Post-Dispatch Intends to remove them, I expect to return from Juneau to- hight with blasting powder, drills and fledges enough to blow out the dangerous lodges in two days. It is not an easy task. There are five very tad places on the trail, Yesterday nine horses were killed. The day before it was ten, It will take the eiges of 400 axes to drop whnough trees into the intervening mud to gomiuroy it. There are axes enough and gnen enough for this. There are also plenty of old-timers who know how to handle @rill and etriking hammer. Rut there are no . fock-removing tools, and there has been no systematic organization nor management. | WVithout all these Skagua Pass is an impos- pibility. Three thousand disappointed men will eat their precious food in useless idleness this pide of the Klondike. Other thousands, who expect to sledge the trail this winter will bring up short between rooks and those that Go not skimp through to Dawson City’s @tores will learn the hungry truth of the company's frank statement to the Post-Dis- patch a month ago, that “by using our every facility we can barely feed the men how living in the Klondike region.” Twenty dollars a day wages can buy noth- fing if there is nothing to buy. It is now too late to prevent suffering, and perhaps real starvation, along the Yukon clear down into Dawson this winter. It is too late for enough work to be put upon Skagua trail to make it serve to carry all the many thou- sands over to the lakes, with each his hun- | dred-weight of outfit, early enough to avoid : winter. But hundreds of fully supplied men can be got safely across. Much hunger can be cuarded against and some lives saved, by wigorous and instant action. This the Post-Dispatch proposes. It will provide the materials and superintendence for any number of men who can help them- gcives and do it to the best advantage. It is a shameful thing, and it is the sur- prising truth that the thousands of really guperior, intelligent gold seekers here have been utterly lacking in the great American faculty of getting together. Had they unit- ed in putting a few days’ muscle into cor- G@uroy half of them, perhaps 2,000, would now be building boats at the head of Lake Rennett. They did not, and only six out- fite have crossed. Now they are stalled be- cause of the selfishness of all and the in- experience of many. The Post-Dispatch's enterprise {s already receiving strong support. If the pass Is opened all who were intending going down ¢he Yukon the first spring freshet can come wia Juneau and Skagua, sledge their goods by hand, horses, or dogs, or pack it up on horses over the pags with comparative ease. They may then sledge over the lakes and portages into camp upon the Yukon, .

Within an hour the tools are to be apportioned, the | powder allotted and five complete blasting parties are to be on their way to the most dangerously impassable places. Where they go notice will be posted so that the already generally informed men will know exactly when to stop packing and take out thelr axes. There are men who have gone half crazy from unaccustomed toll and mental anguish. With whipoord neck tendons they strain along with set jaws and staring eyes. In all previous attempts to close the trail so that work might be done on !{t men such as these and the general tough characters have rendered naught the feeble efforts of repairers, although warned by notices to stop. A thousand proclamations would not keep one such single individual from pass- ing along, but blasting powder will. The Post-Dispatch representative wil] keep accurate lists of those who aid in making this permanent and short cut to the Klon- dike for themselves and those after them. These lists will contain the names o? al) who ¢ross the trail. ’ A Post-Dispatch headquarters its to be es- tablished at the junction of Dyea and Ska- gua trails. The names will be taken and the dates on which they start from the lakes. Friends and relatives can then know that the worst is passed and will be able to estémate closely the probable arrival of letters. If there is any American pluck and any American sense left among the struggling men up Skagua trail the opportunity given them to help themselves will be eagerly seized and used. If not the Post-Dispatch will have spent some thousands in a worthy attempt to pre- vent suffering. The Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Co.'s superintendent, W. P. Corbus, has kindly allowed the Post-Dispatch to buy its first ton of dynamite at reasonable rates from the company’s mammoth magazines, He also promises whatever tools can be spared to ald in getting the congested thousands over the Skagua Pass into the golden tIn- terior. Every mechanic in Juneau is work- ing upon drills and the Post-Dispatch’s blasting outfit expects to leave to-night. SYLVESTER SCOVEL. —-_—____—.. CONDITIONS NOT FAVORABLE.

LABOR LEADERS BISCUSS THE BiG STRIKE OF COAL MINERS Convention in Masonic Temple to Devise Plans for Forcing Mine Operators Into a Settlement With the Miners, . STRIKERS ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.

It is held for the purpose of devising a plan by which the strike of the coal miners throughout the country may be brought to a@ epeedy and successful termination. In accordance with a call issued last week from Pittsburg, this convention brought to- gether in St. Louis all the chieftains of the allied labor organizations, the men author- ized to represent the industrial societies in matters of consultation, The object of the convention, as declared in the call, ig to extend aid to euffering, stricken miners of the county, but none of the labor leaders present are willing to vouchsafe an opinion on the question of how it shall be done. The first inference ig that provision will be made for assess- ments upon all the trade and labor organt- zations to support the miners and thelr families. This is the usual mode of pro- cedure, But there are rumors of even more active help than this. One is the suggestion of a sympathetic strike, which does not appear to have many followers. Another is to mass the unemployed at Pitteburg and make a peaceful] demonstration there. Still another is to appeal to the railroad companies not to transport coal from mines worked by non-union men. In any event, there will be promulgated a set of resolutions at once emphatic and interesting. The leaders evidently came here without any fixed programme, if their own declara- tions are true, and they simply await an interchange of opinion. The brief morning session failed to develop unanimity of sen- timent, there being a large section present who think no good can be accomplished by the conference, and another section seem- ingly afraid to take an advanced position. Chairman Prescott, on being asked what the convention expected to accomplish, said: “I do not know. If I did I would syndicate my information and sell it to the newspapers.” The convention has one woman delegate in the person of ‘Mother’ Mary Jones of Chicago, who represents the Social Demooc- racy ofthatcity. Her ruddy face and quick movements contrast strangely with her snow-white hair. She is said to be some- thing of an orator. When the convention is over, Mr. Sover- eign will go to Galveston and Mr. Mahone to Houston, Tex., to attend labor demon- strations. Eugene V. Debs, representing the National Railway Union and the striking miners, was a conspicuous figure. Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, arrived late. J. R. Sovere'gn, Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, He admitted that it was none of his bust- | took breakfast with Debs at the Laclede, and spoke vigorously on the question at ‘issue in the convention.

DEBS. * retary Maguire of the Carpenters’ National Union, with prominent delegates from every section and every industry of the country, were present and participated in the re- markable assemblage. It is said that a proposition ts to be pre- sented at the convention to mobilize the army of unemployed of the country in the vicinity of Pittsburg, in the event of a dea- termined effort on the part of the opera- tors to start the mines with imported labor. It is understood that an appeal will first be made to the railroad men of the coun- try, mot as organizations, but as indi- viduals, to not handle coal dug at non- union mines. If this faila, then the mobi- lizing in Pittsburg will be considered. Before the convention met reporters of the Post-Dispatch interviewed a number of the more prominent leaders and obtained from them statements as to the conditions and purposes of the present gathering. “TI take the ground,” sald Eugene V. Debs, “that if this great army of starving min- ers is suffered to be crushed and their fami- lies made to feel the tortures of hunger, the country cannot escape the penalty. A nation cannot commit a crime any more than an individual can and escape the con- sequences.”’ Mr. Debs is a serious-looking man and talks rapidly and well. He is tall, loose- jointed, clean-shaven and was dressed in gray. In general appearance he bears a striking resemblanoe to the late Eugene Field, except the eyes. The gentle poet had large, innocent, wondering orbs, while Debs’ eyes are small, clearer and more sparkling. He has, too, a large jaw and a noticeably protruding chin. His gold-rimmed spectacies and round head give to him a show of in- tellectuality that is not entirely unwar- ranted, Debs is @ crusader. He comes here as a representative of the miners, in whose be- half he has recently made speeches through West Virginia. He was asked the direct question: “Is it your opinion that a sympathetie atrike should be ordered?’ He answered quickly: “Any way is © good way to keep these miners from dying. Eight thousand families in Indiana are act- ually in a etate of starvation. Official re- ports to the Governor prove this to be a fact, and Gov. Mounts himself testifies that he saw a child die from the results of hun- ger. “In West Virginia, perhaps, this awful condition of affairs is most noticeable. There the labor is very largely foreign-born. It is an ignorant, helpless, hopeless lot of people. They don’t know what a atrike meeans, They don’t know anything about wages, and they never see any money from year’s beginning to year’s end. They live in kennels around the mines. They are paid from 18 to % cents a ton for mining coal. At the end of the month a statement is made out to each of them, showing how much they have produced—in which they are egregiously cheated—and how much they have been compelled to buy on credit at the company’s store. Of course the etatement brings them in debt to the com- pany, since their average accredited wages is only 42 centsa day. They begin the next month in debt, and the ensuing months deeper in debt. And Uke Tennyson's brook, it goes on forever. 5 ; : | ; 3 iff 1 : it: Ii +E : i : + i : : : H f | ° : 4 : i ear &

The general proposition dis how we prevent 350,00 miners from. starv.ng fo death. I have been in the coal districts ever since the strike commenced, and scores of operators have admitted to me that the miners were actually starving be- fore the strike began. Not one dut admits that the S0-cent rate is too low, and that the miners cannot live on it. But they in- fist that competition ts so keen that. they can't afford to pay more. The demand of the miners is conceded to ‘be a moderate one; in fact, only a living wage. Yet the operators insist on a contract that the miners cannot live upon, “We have too much competition and not enough co-operation; too much production and not enough distribution. For twenty- five years the American people have bent all their energies to production and paid no attencion to the Jaws of distribution, There has got to be a change or rather an adjust- ment of the systefns.”’ W. D. Mahon of Detroit, Mich., president of the Amalgamated Association of Ameri- can Street Railway men, who has been in the Virginia coal region for the past month, is attending the convention. Mr. Mahon said he felt confident that the miners would eventually win. He said he SAW to victory in the but preferred not to unfold his tdeas on the plan until he had talked with the other labor leaders who are here.

Mr. Johnson of Cincinnati suggested the appointment of a committee on resolutions, but that wae at first deferred. Mr. Sovereign moved that the committee roposed be known as the “Committee on Resolutions and Plans of Action,’ he being tired and sick of words without results. The convention here became involved in a question of parliamentary practice, in which Messra. Mahone, Sheridan Webster and H. Martin Williams participated, to the discomfiture of the chair. The convention took a recess until 2 o'clock, in order to give the Credentials Committee a chance to declare who are en- titled to seats, and the appointment of a Committee on Resolutions was postponed, During the noon hour there was a pal- pable effort on the part of the leaders to agree upon a programme of action. Ratchford, Sovereign and Debs held a conference, but nothing came of it. It Is understood to be Deb's purpose to precip!l- tate a strike of sympathy, but in this he has found small support. One prominent delegate, who is president of a national organization, said: “Il am oppos to this sympathetic strike business and so are the unions. Make a note of the fact that Mr. Gompers, presi- dent of the Federation of Labor, is not here; neither is P. J. McGuire or James Duncan. O'Connell is here only because he has other business in St. Louls. “Of the unions not representéd there are all those of the railroads—the engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, ‘the Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Rail- road Conductors. “There is no representation from the bricklayers, cigarmakers, carpenters, stone- culters, hod-carriers, tailors, iron workers, amalgamators, metal workers, or sailors. “All this is significant that the unions apprehended the movement could be for no other purpose than to organize a sympa- thetic strike, and they were opposed to it. “I am in favor of financial aid to the striking miners, and that we can extend to them, but a general strike would be dis- astrous to all concerned at this time.’’ There were nearly 300 persons in attend- ance at Masonic Hal! when the temporary chairman, Mr. Prescott, rapped for order. Inability of the committee on credentials to report promptly occasioned some delay on the part of the convention, and it was 2:3) o'clock before ‘the delegates again gor down to business. Circulars were distributed by direction of the United Mine Workers of America, under the caption, ‘‘Free Speech and the Right of Peaceful Assemblage Denied American Citli- zens in the Town of Pocahontas, Va., by the Mayor, who is Supported in His Action by the Sheriff of the County and the Governor of the State.’’ They were read with avidity and tended to excite comment in the line of criticism of government. Debs and his chief Meutenant, Victor Rerger, sat together in the body of the hall. Mr. Sovereign occupied an equally uncon. spicuous position. RUN INTO BY A TRAIN.

Mrs. McCarty lives with her mother at 1215 Blair avenue, She says her husband left her nearly a year ago and she wants a warrant for abandonment. Mrs. McCarty’s husband has a room at the southwest corner of Bremen avenue and Broadway. By her own admission she went there one day last week. Her husband was not in. She took advantage of her oppor- tunity to search the pockets of his Sunday clothing. Of course she found the letter. She carefully made a copy of the letter, and left it in McCarty’s Sunday clothes, while she carried away the original. The letter is addressed to ‘‘My Dear. Dar- ling Willie,”’ and the substance is that the writer wants to meet “Darling Willie’ in front of ‘“‘Smith’s coal yard,’’ at 8:30 p. m. It is signed ‘“‘May.” Mrs. McCarty was told to bring a witneas, and a warrant for abandonment would probably be issued, STILL BEATING THE BRITISH Two Police Posts on the Samana Range Attacked and Burned. ——— ee SIMLA, Aug. 30.—The Shinawar and Kah! police posts on the Samana Range were attacked, evacuated by their garrisons and burned by the enemy on Sunday night.

It may cause his death. had a good deal of WM. A, RUTLEDGE, lr. #. t R C. P. ACKERT, ° CORAMULLRS, Friday night Blake’s train was east- bound and was running through Arkansas. During the early portion of the night Blake trouble with tramps stealing rides on his train and he thought he had put all of them off. Shortly after midnight Blake discovered two tramps in a car of apples. He ordered them out of the car and told them to leave the train whenever it slowed up. The car of apples in which he found the tramps was about the middle of the train. As Blake turned to walk to the caboose in the rear the larger of the two tramps fired three shots at him. The first shot struck him in the knee. Blake was un- armed and could not return the volley. Staggering from his wound he managed to crawl] over the tops of three cars. He could go no farther. He threw himself down on the top of the car and called for help. No one heard him. It was a black night and neither the engineer from the cab nor the conductor from the caboose could see him. For thirty minutes Blake held on to the top of the car, all the time suffering great- ly from pain and expecting every minute to fall off. At Greenland, Ark., the train slowed up. The brakeman’s signals were not seen. The train was stopped and the conductor searched for Blake. He found him on top of the car. In Greenland a country doctor probed for the ball. He couldn't find it. Blake con- cluded to come to St. Louis for surgical at- tention. He arrived on the Frisco passenger train Monday morning and from Union Sta- tion he was carried to the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital. There the wound was again probed, /but the bullet was not located. It is feared blood poisoning will set in, and that the re- sults will be serious. It will be several days before the extent of his wound can be de- termined. ALL HE NEEDS 13 THE MONEY. Wharf Commissioner Stone Has Plans for a Work-house Addition, Wharf Commissioner Stone, who is Chair- man of the Board of Public Improvements Committee on Public Institutions, is haying plans prepared for an addition to the Work- house. The new building is to be sufficient to ac- commodate 100 prisoners and contain twelve cells. The building will cost about $3,600. The one obstacle in Chairman Stone’s way is that Comptroller Sturgeon has failed so far to find the necessary $3,000. Chairman Stone thinks the new addition could be ready for use by next January. The necessity for enlargement of the Work- house and better sanitary conditions there have long been acknowledged. Only last week nearly one hundred prisoners were released before the expiration of their sen- tences, because of the overcrowded condi- tion of the institution. The Charity Commissoners have insisted that the buildings be enlarged and the gov- ernment of the place reformed generally. WATCHMAN WAS IN EARNEST. Peppered the Legs of a Gang of Swim- mers on a Raft. Saturday night a crowd of young men boarded a lumber raft at the foot of Barton street and began preparations for a swim in the river.

He fired two loads‘at the crowd. “he loads took effect in the legs of Bernard Mandel, Henry Mandel, John Hardnacke and George Langenbach, The wounds are not serious. Bight of the crowd were arrested, charged with trespass and disturbing the peace. In the police court, Monday, the cases were continued until September 8.

Frank R. Graves, the granger from Tulsa, I. T.. is experiencing some-.of the bitter vicissitudes of city Hfe. Graves arrived in the city a week ago with $1,500 in cash in his boot leg. After depositing $1,420 in the Boatmen’s Bahk he lost $20 and the certi- ficate of deposit in Billy Hennessey’s saloon at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets Friday. The police recovered the certificate and saved his money for him, but Chief Des- mond took charge of the certificate and re- fused to give it to Graves. Graves was reluctant to prosecute Hen- nessey and John Berning, who attempted to secure the cash on the certificate, but the Chief of Police insisted, and prevailed upon him to swear out a warrant againet the prisoners, charging grand larceny. Monday morning Graves, accompanied by his attorney, Judge Woods, called on Chief Desmond and demanded the check. The Chief refused to turn it over, declaring he intended to hold it until Graves prosecuted he case to the end. “What kind of a dea] is this you're trying to give us, anyway?’ demanded the Chief of Graves. ‘You're robbed of nearly $1,500, we save your money for you and catch the thieves, and now you want to turn them loose again. And you'd be the first man to ery for protection the next time you get into trouble of the same gort.”’ Graves told the Chief he required money to pay his immediate needs, and the Chief told him he would advance him whatever er was required by him during his stay n town, HAD FUN WITH A SLEEPER.” Albert Ruff’s Joke on Old Man Burns Gets Him In Jail, ce John Burns, 68 years old, and homeless, went to sleep on a doorstep near Tenth and Market streets, Sunday night, and Albert Ruff came along and. proceeded to have fun with him.

PAWNED HIS FATHER'S. COAT.

It seems that during the recent hot spell Pucher pawned his aged father’s over- coat and he alleges that Willlams’ wife had circulated the slander on him, and all the neighbors were reminding him of his treatment of his tether, Bucher demanded that Williams make his wife keep her tongue out of his affairs Bucher made his demands in such rabid terms that Williams ordered him out and then the fight began. It was a rough-and- tumble affair that not only aroused all the other tenants in the building, but Police- man Rice was attracted from the street, When he reached the scene wipers d Bucher almost out with two ugly gashes across his scalp and any number of bruises on his face.

'f we HEAVY VEHICLES NOT IN IT. - House of Delegates Committee on Leg- islation Hears What Interested Parties Have to Say. The legislation committee of the House of Delegates gave a public hearing Monday on the bicycle bills. The opponents of the Post-Dispatch bill, the only clean-out bi- cycle measure before the Assembly, have sought to obscure the issue by having bills introduced to include all vehicles; in other words, to put .drays and sand carts on the Same basis as bicycles. They realized that their omnibus bill went too far, Henry V.. Lucas, speaking for the wheel- men, said the ordinance introduced by Mr. Wittenberg at his request went too far and that he would ask that the bill be amended so as to embrace only pleasure vehicles and delivery wagons carrying 1,000 pounds or less. W. W. Butler and H. agreed with Mr. Lucas. J. C. O’Brien, president of the Team Owners Association, said he was glad to see that the bicyclists were willing to aban- don the idea of applying the bill to heavy hauling. It was for that class of teamsters that he spoke. He thought the ordinance would be hard to enforce, and if it con- tained any restrictions on the heavy dray- age further than is now provided by law his association would fight the measure. He thought the bill would prove a hardship on delivery men, and that in so far as it provided for ‘‘a moderate speed’’ it meant nothing. As his association was not to be included he had no further interest in the matter. Mr. Lucas said a moderate rate of speed was what was now provided by ordinance. He contended that to fix eight miles or ten miles an hour would be a hardship and unfair. It would be a moderate rate on Lindell boulevard, but such a speed on Broadway would be reckless. City Counselor Marshall was called in at the request of Chairman Madera and Mr. Murrell of the committee. He said the first paragraph of the Wit- tenberg bill, providing for ‘‘a moderate rate of speed,’’ made the whole bill worthless. ‘‘A moderate rate of speed,’’ said he, “means nothing. You have got to specify the speed at which vehicles shall run.” Mr. Butler asked if it would be legal to limit the speed by districte. He suggested eight miles east of Jefferson avenue, and ten or twelve miles west of that line as about right. Chairman Madera thought it would he a good thing if the City Counselor would draw up a substitute bill covering all the essential points in the several bills gub- mitted. Mr. Marshall said he would do this, and have it ready by next Friday. POST-DISPATCH WILL BLAST OUT THE TRAIL. F. Triselmann CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGB. exists between Canada and the United States.

The intervening spaces are barren, and I will do no more than say generally that we have a zone of upwards of }) miles In length, eome of it in Alaska more of it in the Northwest Territory, an: much of it in British Columbia, which will be yet the scene of numerous mining enter- rises, both on the quartz and placer, the former practically inexhaustible. The con- ditions, however, are most unfavorable. There is a nine months’ winter, barrenness is almost total) so far as vegetation and food are concerned, the earth is bound in eternal frost and thé thermometer often reaches 60 and 70 degrees below zero.”’ —-—- -~—~»>—_ PORTLAND’S CARGO OF GOLD.

The younger Mrs. Woodcock was Miss Sophia Deibel before she married the older Mrs. Woodcock’s boy. : Charley married Miss Deibel without his CHARLEY WOODCOCK’S MOTHER. mother’s consent a month ago. On the night of the wedding Charley disappeared. The bride put the police on hig track, but they were unable to find him. She con- sulted furtune-tellers without avail. Two weeks ago she learned that her boy husband was living with friends near O’Fal- lon Park and she went after him. She smuggled him home at night. The boy’s mother heard he was at the Deibel home and was getting ready to cause trouble when Charley and Sophia eluded her by go- ing to Belleville. They remained there two weeks, Now they are home again and the gossips are wondering what will happeh next. Mrs. Woodcock, the wife and Mrs. Wood- cock, the mother, both want the boy. He wants to go home to his mother, but he can’t. A Post-Dispatch sepeeses called at 3207 North Second street Monday morning and knocked on the screen door. “Who the devil's there?’ floated over the transom in dulcet female tones. A pretty dark-eyed woman peeped around ee. corner of the door, then ducked out of sight. A man with a red mustache an’ redder face came to the door. “You can’t see Mrs. Woodcock. You can't + eat and you can't see nobody,” he sald. The reporter could see the boy husband Pacing the floor in the front room.

HE COULD HOT HEAR DEAF AND DUMB FRANE SAPHAL- LER RUN DOWN AND KILLED BY A MOTOR. WAS WALKING ON THE TRACK. Paid No Heed to the Clang of the Bell or Shouts of Warning. Deaf and dumb Frank Saphaller was run down and killed Sunday afternoon by a St. Louls and Suburban Line car, §0 feet east of Pine Lawn Station. Motorman G. Tressy of the Normandy division of the line was carrying a big train load of people over the suburban division of the road. As he approached Pine Lawn he saw a man walking the track several hundred yards ahead. He rang the bell, but the pedestrian paid no heed. As he bore down on him, Tressy clanged the bell continuously and shouted. Passengers on the front platform joined him in impatient cries of warning to the man who seemed laying with death. Finally the motorneer, thinking the fellow was bent on suicide, put on his brake, but the go loaded car slipped along the tracks until it struck the man and passed over him. The fender failed to do Its work. The body was — from beneath the forward truck. early every bone from the shoulder down had been broken, but the face and skull were uninjured. The man died five minutes after the wheels passed over him. The body was taken to Pine Lawn, where it was identified as Frank Saphaller. Then the motorneer and bere te learned why he had paid no heed to their warnings. AMUSEMENTS. When the patience’ of the audience is about to give way under the strain of much conversation between people whose only business on the stage seems to be to talk, the first act of “The Hoosier Doctor” is redeemed by the adoption of a child by the poverty-stricken hero. It is a mere incl- dent, serving only to illustrate the char- acter of Julius Willow, the struggling, poverty-stricken, big-hearted Hoosier, but it touches the heart and puts one in a good humor with the players and the play- wright. The audience at the Olympic last night probably had more desire to ses Digby Bell in legitimate comedy than it had to sit in judgment on Augustus Thomas’ latest play. His name has heretofore been associated with comic opera parts and peo- ple who had pleasant recollections of his work in “Tar and Tartar’ had a curiosity to know if he could divest himself of all trace of Muley Hassan. They found that he could. Hig method is much like Nat Goodwin’s—quiet and forceful by insinua- tion rather than by open demonstration. The role of Julius Willow, a middle-aged man of infinite sweetness of temper and a kindly humor, would be impossible to any but an actor of fine perceptions and a deli- cate touch. There is, to draw on vernac- ular of the streets, a chumpiness about the character that might readily come tire- some, but is so deftly brought Gut by Mr. Bell that it is a really lovable attribute. The play is “‘talky,”’ and is not calculated to add to Mr. Thomas’ reputation. It !Im- presses the critical mind with the idea that it was constructed because the author had to make a play, not because he had a play to make. Some of the characters are mani- festly true to the typed the author wished to depict. Others smell of the footlights so artificial are they. The scenes are laid in the suburbs of Vincennes, Ind. There is a strong local flavor and the dialect is true to life. The manner in which the play is put on reflects credit on the executive staff of the organization. The company as a whole is strong. Laura Joyce Bell is unfortunate in her interpretation of the part of an Indiana mother-in-law, but her derelictions are atoned for by the capable work of other members of the cast. It was opening night at the Olympic, but the intense heat kept the audience down to moderate proportions. —O— Hopkins’ Grand Opera-house opened yes- terday to a very large audience. Col. Hopkins’ Chicago company presented ‘‘Trilby,” Felix Morris gave “A Game of Cards,” and there was a good list of specialties. The performance of “Trilby’’ pleased the audience greatly. Maurice Freeman was Svengali, Jessaline Rogers was Trilby, Frederick Bock was Taffy, Charles Burnham was The Laird and Ed- win Boring was Little Billee. The produc- tion was handsome, Col. Hopkins was present to see that the opening passed off smoothly. He enter- tained a few of his friends during the even- ing and there was a liberal exchange of compliments and good wishes. —-o-——. “The Pulse of New York,”” which opened at Havlin’s yesterday, is a melodrama with farce-comedy tendencies. It has some thrilling situations, but In the most en- grossing of these the characters are liable to break off into a song and dance specialty. Two children in the company do clever specialties. eS Glifford’s Gayety Theater Company opened at the Standard yesterday, presenting ‘“‘His French Doll,”” a burlesque that admits of the introduction of numerous specialties. It is a strong company of its kind. Barney Fagan, one of the cleverest song and dance men of the day, siggs several of his com- positions. He is assisted by Henrietta Byron, a graceful young woman with a pleasing voice. Troja sings a variety of risque ditties and the Trocadero Quartette renders plantation melodies effectively. Lea Peasely, a bionde beauty of generous pro- portions, made a hit with the big audience. Marie Marlowe, sister of Julia Marlowe, is a member of the company. Her duty is to carry a banner and look pretty and she does both successfully. a This la the last week of the season at Forest Park Highlands.

The Luetgert Jury Will Wit. = ness a Gruesome Sight at 4 the Sausage Factory. | IMPORTANT TEST TO BE MADE, THE DEFENSE CLAIMS IT WILL COMPLETELY UPSET THE CON- TENTION OF THE STATE. SATISFIED WITH CONDITIONS. The Prisoner Discusses the Trial, the Jury and the Lawyers and De- clares His Confi- dence, ‘Bs CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—The trial of Adolph Luetgert for the murder of his wife began in earnest today, the preliminary work of securing a jury having been completed, Long befére the case was called the corrt- dors of the court building were thronged with people anxious to gain admittance. Contrary to the expectation of the State, the jury will be asked by the defense to witness an experiment in the vat in the basement of the sausage factory. This is to be the result of an experiment conducted by Luetgert’s attorneys Saturday and yes- terday. The body of a man, of about Mrs. Luet- gert’s age and weight, who met his death by violence Thursday, was taken to the fac- tory at #1 Diversey avenue and immersed In a solution of caustic potash. The result exceeded their expectations. The experts reported that after boiling the body in a 15 per cent solution of the potash for the same length of time, three and one-half hours, and under the same circumatances as the State alleges Luetgert disintegrated the body of his wife, the complete skeleton of the cadaver remained intact, and that the solution had had but little effect on the clothing. As a result of the test, the defense will, it is said, ask Judge Tuthil!l to remove his court and the jury to the basement of the big sausage factory for a few houra and Witness another experiment, which the de- fense claims will completely disprove the State's theory of disintegration, Luetgert said to-day that he Is satisfied with the jury. “Iam content with the result of the first week of the case, and haven't a 7. a to make of anything or anybody. am confident of the worth of the jury, for I etudied every man in it. I am willing to Place my life in their hands, for I myself picked them out. Right here from behind the bars I am engineering my own case and when I say that I am satisfied it means that the defense is satisfied.” “At the rate the trial has progressed this week, how long do you think it will last?’ Luetgert smiled, rubbed hie hands t gether for a moment, and then proceeded: ‘The public,” he said, “is all wrong on the estimate of time the trial will take. At the very most it is now a third over. In @ trial as notorious as this the picking of the ury is d to take as long as any part of the trial. Two days this week were ractically lost, and the jury was really se- ected in four days. I will give the ate a week to make out its case. In the way of witnesses the defense has not much to offer. It does not need more than two or three d for that. “We will be fighting our battle with the State's own witnesses, and when we get through, without having had to offer much testimony ourselves, we will have pulled the supports away from the prosecution's whole case. We will crush them under themselves. Bah! for what they call their scientific proof. They can prove nothing : with their professors that will hurt me in the least.” | Then he turned to another phase of the matters that had interested him during the week, the kind of interest the public waa taking in him. “I don't care so, much whether a man believes me gullty or inno. cent, for he has a right to his opinions, but I get angry when a man eays things about me when he either knows nothing or Is speaking falsely for a purpose."

In his letter to the Sunday Post-Dis- patch Mn R. P. Bland makes some point- ed observations touching dollar wheat and general prosperity. Republican organs seem to attribute the revival of business to the election of McKinley and the passage of the Dingley bill, but, as a matter of fact, neither President McKinley nor Mr. Dingley had anything to do with the famine in India, or with the crop shortages’in Argentine and Russia. These were entirely due to providential. causes, and the American farmer can thank God for them, if he pleases, but there is no gratitude due to the Republican party policy. Mn Bland goes to the core of the ques- tion when he asks: “Can we depend upon the present causes and conditions that exist throughout the world to main- tain good prices, especially in this coun- ‘try?’ Everybody would like to answer in the affirmative, but is it safe to rely upon the interposition of Providence alone? —-————>-—_ +9 -— —_—_-_—_—_ ewe Ce =e ee The Ella Wheeler Wilcox scheme, in the’ Sunday Post-Dispatch, of three children for every woman does not seem to take into account the fact that there are wom- en who are right now ralsing from eight to twelve.

Robert G. Ingersoll, Marquise Lanza and Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Sunday’s. Post-Dis- patch, suggests that a platform is needed, There are plenty of planks. With Mrs. Wilcox saying that every woman is entitled to three children, and Col. Ingersoll saying that there should be no marriage without love, the matrimo- nial problem is getting mixed more than ever, A man or a woman cannot love anybody or everybody. Some men and women never love. Col. Ingersoll, Mrs. Wileox and the rest of the leaders of human thought who have pronounced convictions on the sex relationship would do well to wet together and form a con- sistent plan for the welfare of the sexes, Probably one platform would not suf- fice. In fact, a dozen weuld surely be constructed if the platform makers once get to work on this problem. -_ lira et — -o--——=- There was a Gemonstration at Mar- seilles yesterday against the infamous French grain tariff.

If ever a newspaper was printed in St. Imuis which excelled in interest the Sun- day Post-Dispatch of yesterday, it was not giyen general circulation. and no memory of it survives. Fifty-two pages of reading matter and pictures were com- prised in the greatest Sunday paper printed in the West. The news stories were the latest and fullest, the magazine was filled with features that will be copied or imitated all over the country, the laugh department was as gay as wit and color could make it and the special Klondike supplement will be pre- served as an exhaustless volume of ref- erence by every one interested in the land of gold. In the list of contributors was Mar- quise Clara Lanza, whose argument against the gospel of murder was fol- lowed by a luminous analysis of conjugal unfaithfulness from the pen of Col. Rob- ert G. Ingersoll. Not less interesting was the argument of Ella Wheeler Wilcox for the taxation of bachelors. The poet- ess of the passions writes into her prose the same convictions which made her verse remarkable and every line is a sub- ject for controversy. Then there was Bland’s estimate of the prosperity wave, written by the man who narrowly escaped the Democratic nomination for President at Chicago, and by him telegraphed to the editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. No other paper had such an array of leading writers, none covered so wide a field of subjects, none was so well illus- trated and none was so warmly appre- ciated by the people. —_—$—$_ = EO Just after we have succeeded in getting the “y” out of Klondike and substituting an “i,” we see the Canadians adopting a wholly different spelling. ‘“Troandik’’ or ‘'Troandlike,” is the name settled upon by the Canadians; but how are we going to settle upon it, now that our jaws are set to Klondike? —_—__ —_- -O —_—-_—_, The use of newspapers as text-books in American schools will stimulate Ameri- can newspapers to improvement.

AN APPEAL TO DEAF EARS. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In one of the morning papers I notice under the heading “Chivalry to the Res- cue,” an extraordinary appeal to Minister Dupuy de Lome tn behalf of Miss Cisneros. That appeal coming from “The National Cuban Relief Committee,’ addressed to a Minister from and under a Government which adheres to the “Canovas policy,” and continues Weyler in Cuba, seems abso- lutely ridiculous. The appeal woes forth ‘To the chivalrous characteriatics that have long distinguished your countrymen as the champions of the noble. fair and brave in virtuous woman- hood,” and reaches the ears of a Queen Regent and Cabinet responsible for a ‘‘pol- icy” which countenances the appropriation of women and girls in Cuba as chattels to be violated ad libitum by the Spanish of- ficers and soldiers, Would it not have been more appropriate for “*The National Cuban Relief Comm!it- tee’ to have addressed its petition to our President and Cabinet, asking that the Ad- m.netration cease ite weak, vacill-iing and cowardly Pg alad Al of windy inactivity? Truly the McKinley Cuban policy is an “‘in- fant industry” very much fn reed of pro- ae TRILBY. A Letter to the Dead. To George Du Maurier, Deceased: © you loved? M Do you remember—lapped though you be in the calm of work-ended days— the girl you painted with the tints of mem- ory: Trilby, wistful and sweet; Trilby, whose eyes were like twin stars; Trilby, whose mouth-roof was like the dome of St. Peter's; Trilby, whose teeth were strong, white and big as knuckle bones; she of the entrancing feet? I fancy you never knew how holes were cut in your canvas; how Paul Potter slit out the eyes, snipped away the lips and set a lighted candle back of the frame. I fancy you never knew how A. M. Palmer and W. A. Brady set up the mutilated portrait In public places and surrounded it with autom- atons dressed in the garb of Taffy, the Laird and Little Billee. I hope you never saw your darling’s tresses hidden bya flaxen wig, nor heard from the wings a female baritone making commonplace the heart-compressing music of ‘“‘Ben Bolt.” But greater wrong has been done the sub- missive creature of your dream than that big black spider, Svengali, could conceive, a playwright imagine, a publisher author- ize or a theatrical syndicate execute. From the climax of that Parisian triumph, which came after years of unremembered singing in streets, Trilby has descended to the con- tinuous performance stage. It' may ease your pain—if this which is to Us sO great a sorrow can be pain to you— to know that continuous performance has called down others from their high,estates; that Maurice Barrymore has_ been called down; that Felix Morris and Johnstone Ben- nett “have taken to doing turns,”’ and that the continuous performance stage has been made the means for the elevation of the am- bitious and musical colored man. Between end-man and _ interlocutor, tween the black brother and Fellx Morris, sits Trilby. Come when you please and stay as long as you like. Hair blondined, white stockinged feet slippered, mouth carmined to make it generously broad, wearing a drum major’s coat and an idiotic smile— it is thus we see for 10, 20 and 30 cents the girl, who, winning all men’s love, fell vic- tim to a cruel greed. You fashioned Trilby’s mouth for music, You made the roof of her mouth a sound- ing board divinely perfect as St. Peter's marvelous dome and you pillared that roof on resonant, strong, untarnished teeth, You gave her lungs so wide and deep that every drop of her warm blood was purified in any atmosphere; lungs of such capacity that she might hold a note until it had radiated from every space of that vast mouth, gaining the prismatic beauty of an opal and ending with the white purity ofa diamond's gleam. How good it was to die before you might hear deep-voiced women singing behind the scenes a diaphragmed “Ben Bolt’’—hear them phrasing like a maennerchor, breath- ing like a bellows and sentimentalizing like a nigger minstrel! How good it was to die before you might hear a Marchesi method applied to the pro- duction of the song you loved—the song Thomas Dunn English wrote and hates! How good it was to die before you might see your idyl of the Latin Quarter sand- wiched between turns on Sunday afternoon at Hopkins’ Grand Opera-house, How I envy you the unadulterated mem- ory of your imagination’s sweetest child.

How They Are Regarded by Readers of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. SHE DOES NOT KNOW, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Is not Ella Wheeler Wilcox a little hasty in her remarks on the bachelor button, in the Sunday Post-Dispatch? Does it not often happen that a married man’s buttons are neglected? May not this neglect have aided in bringing about the bachelor but- ton? Mrs. Wilcox, being a woman, can form no conception of the feelings of a man with a suspender button gone and another about to give way. BACHELOR. TAX WIDOWERS. To the Fadltor of the Post-Dispatch. Mrs. Wilcox’s bachelor-taxing scheme, in yesterday’s Sunday Post-Dispatch, might be extended so as to take in a considerable percentage of widowers. The widower who has seen a matrimonial service of fifteen or twenty years might be exempted, but the widower who is early bereaved should be made to contribute almost as much as a bachelor, BONUS INSTEAD OF TAX. To the Fditor of the Post-Dispatch. I do not agree with Ella Wheeler Wilcox that the best way to get men to marry is to tax bachelors. Why not leave them alone and give a bonus to marrying couples in- stead? In the French part of Canada it used to be the custom, or law, to reward the couple who had a dogen children or more, by allotting the family a large scc- tion of land.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is extremely moder- ate when she says that every woman is ‘“entitled’’ to three children. Grant Allen, the English novelist, found by statistics that it was every English woman's duty, if the population of England was to be maintained, to bear five children. Edward von Hartmann, the German mets- physician and essayist, takes a more com- prehensive view even than this. He says that eleven children apiece is the German woman's duty—two before the %th vear. five in the 20's, three in the 30's and one in the 40's. FATHER OF SLX. St. Louls, IN LIND WITH TOLSTOL To the Falitor of the Post Dispatecb What Ella Wheeler Wilcox says about the privileges of woman, in Sunday’s Post-Dis- patch, is extremely interesting. Mrs. Wileox {is in line with Tolstol, who holds that as labor ie man’s prime duty, the bearing and care of children its the womans chief duty. All else in life he holds subordinate to these two duties, and administers a severe rebuke to the man who shirke labor and the woman who ehirke her duty of maintaining the race. The subject is treated of tn the last chap- ter, I think, of Tolstoi's “What To Do.” By the way, as Mre, Wilcox seems to be a disciple of Tolstol in this respect, does eh: carry out his teachings personally?

Jaeger, and had a crew of ®. She was wrecked in a Storm July 13 of last year in the Pacific. The ship went down, and her people took to two boats. One boat, that containing Capt. Jaeger and the second mate, and several seamen, managed to reach Starbuck Island, an iso. lated knoll in the Pacific, landing there in August, 1896. The other boat and its occupants have never since been heard from. The men on Starbuck Island fared badly. Hunger and thirst soon attacked them, and then sickness added its terrors to their pre- dicament. In desperation Capt. Jaeger de- cided to abandon Starbuck Island and seek relief elsewhere. This they found in a measure on Sophia Island, some distance away, but the ravages of fever and hunger had made too deep inroads on the consti- tutions of some of the men, and one by one they dropped off. Capt. Jaeger was the first to go, and scarcely had his body been buried in the sand on the cunts Schema d beach before the Then the carpenter died, and the few men left found themeéelves without a leader. For a full year they remained on lonely engaged in a desperate strug- gle for existence and only occasionally see- ing a sail that they could not summon to their aid.

MONDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 30, 1897. ~% hdedie® “ SPORTS OF THE DAY. WORD FROM CREEDON, DAN WRITES THAT HE IS GOING TO SEE M’COY FIGHT RYAN AT SYRACUSE, CORBETT AND FITZSIMMONS. Those Two, as Well as Other Leading Pugilists, Will #lso Be There. Col. John D. Hopkins, who is backin wn Creedon to fight Kid McCoy, has received &@ letter from his protege from New York. (‘reedon will come to St. Louts about the middie of September and a big reception will be tendered him then. Before coming on, however, Creedon will Crop off at Syracuse, N. Y., where on Sep- tember 8 he will see the fight between Kid McCoy and Tommy Ryan. Creedon writes that all the big Ngehts of Dugilism will be at Syracuse on the night of September & and he says that among those certain to be there are Robert Fitz- simmons, James J. Corbett, William A. Brady, Dan Stuart, “Honest” John Kelly, George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil), J. E. Me- Donald, “Parson” Davies, Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher. Creedon might have added Col. Hopkins to the list, as that gentleman had about concluded to go on and see the mill, When Parson Davies was here the guest of Col. Hopkins last week, he talked of Ryan's chances. The latter, it will be re- membered, was once under Davies’ manage- Ment ard the two have always been very close fitends. Davies has great confidence in the ability of the welter-weight cham- pion to win a victory from the great middle- Weight. Ile says Ryan never looked better ’ in his life and never trained more earnestly for a match. As the time draws near his Own confidence in his ability to win in- creases, Hie will carry a jarge amount of al from the sports in Central New ork. When MeCoy met Ryan before the opinion was general that he was doomed to defeat, and the Syracuse boy was al to 4 shot, but the odds did not make him win. Now the Sentiment is reversed, and there is not a Sporting writer or follower of the game who-does not consider McCoy a “cinch.” Would it not be a big dump if the seem- : ingly impossible should again happen and =a the favorite be dumped? It is not any overwhelming bellef in Me- Coy’s abilities as a middie-weilght that causes him to be selected over Ryan. It is because he has secured such a big con- cession in weight that the talent sees only defeat for his age hy McCoy is at his best at 18 pounds, while Ryan can do his best work at 14. Ryan would never con- Bent to meeting McCoy at 158 pounds if his case was not desperate. lie is smarting terribly under the defeat MeCoy ran him up againet some months ago. At that time Tommy thought all he had to do to defeat McCoy was to simply walk into the ring and after a few easy rounds come out with the money. But after a few rounds all the concelt was knocked out of him McCoy had Ryan completely at his merey. and he put on the finishing touches in his own way and his own time. Ryan has been hunting high and low since for a return match. He pleaded it was not McCoy's ability, but his own lack of prepar- ation which knocked him out. This in itself is a poor excuse, for a man who cepends upon boxing for a living has no right to fo into a contest in poor ®®ndition. It is part of his business to be fit and etrong, and if he isn't then he should take his med- icine and forget the baby act. Ryan is a g00d man. He has plenty of selence and can put up a good contest. If he could gs McCoy down to his weight there might © some chance for him to get a draw at Jeast. But he can never win by giving McCoy all the best of the weight questign. The meeting of McCoy and Ryan will ‘be made doubly interesting by the presence at the rings:de of such leading lights as Cor. bett, Fitzsimmons, Sharkey and Maher and before the battle is over who knows but that a real match between some of the big fellows may be made. Creedon shows great good sense tn attend- ing the battle. By watching McCoy's work with Ryan, Dan will get a better line on the former than he could possibly get in wy! paper 4 “ reecon and McCoy by the way far from being matched to-day as the * wore a Week ago. Creedon is taking things easy in New, York, while McCoy is training for his fight with Ryan. Creedon will meet Billy Brady in New York this week and Brady will try and bring McCoy to the Nghting point by offering a prize of $10.000 or $12,000 for the two to fight for. I¢ Brady falls then no man on earth can {induce Mc. Coy to do battle with Creedon, 2 a eo THE CREVE COEUR REGATTA. QT aes a -_ Six Thousand Saw Yesterday's Races of the Southwestern Association.

There are some clubs wanting admission backed by men who care for nothing but the free adver- (ieing it gives them. The love of the sport is a secondary consideration with them. We will do our best to keep this element in the background. I am in favor of a league of but four clubs, the Cycles, Shamrocks, Te- resas and South Sides, They are the bona fide clubs, anyhow. Let those running teams which carry the aame of some haberdasher or other, and who. are in the game wholly and solely for advertising purposes go forin a league of their own and remain in their class.’ é It will thus be seen that very lively times mas be looked for at next Friday night's Ineeting. & This year the famous Shamrock team will return to the old arena in wh.ch they use to figure so prominently.

The fall stake races of the St. Louls Fair Association are panning out well. Not much was expected by the associa- tion from the Ozark and the Isabella, the two stake events given for 2-year-old colts and 2-year-old fillies, respectively. Both panned out splendidly, however, both proved rattling good races and magnificent drawing cards. On Saturday next the Chrysanthemum, the last of the fall stakes of the St. Louis Fair Association, will be run. The Chrysanthemum is another race for 2-year-olds, this time at a mile, with a guaranteed value of $1,500. Last fall the Chrysanthemum proved one of the best races run during the meeting, and it was won by the great Algol, in sensational time. This year the race promises to be even more interesting than its predecessor. Among those eligible to start are Sir Rolla, Eitholin, Dave Waldo, Libation, Dr. Coop, Col. Bramble, Sir Joseph Lester, Our Chance and many other good ones. This will be the last big race of the year at the Fair Grounds and it will probably bring out the biggest crowd of the season. THE KANSAS CITY HORSE SHOW. It Opens Next Saturday and Continues for One Week. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 30.—Kansas City’s third annual horse show, which opens Saturday next and continues for a week, is attracting widespread attention. The show, started as an experiment, has be- come a fixture, and where several States sent entries last year, almost every part of the country will have a quota of fancy horse flesh here next week. Indeed, some of the best known horsemen in the coun- try have entered their animals and will be here to attend them and the show prom- ises to be one of the most fashionable and successful of the kind ever held in this part of the country. Already 1,400 single reserved seats have been sold, besides quite a number of boxes and Secretary Ashbrook has received a single order from Chicago for $1,000 worth of admission tickets.

I can’t hold out much longer.’’ Thus spoke George Brown of Fifteenth and O’Fallon streets, addressing Dr. Hel- wig at the City Dispensary last night. The doctor found Brown to be suffering from an aggravated case of urticaria, the technical name for a very painful eruption of the skin. The sufferer is the private patient of a physician and Dr. Helwig said he could not improve upon the treatment already prescribed. ~“- for spending his Brown has a novel nights.

Mrs. Schulte, in soliciting the assistance of the police, told of the exciting times she has experienced since Saturday. “My husband came home very drunk late Saturday night,” she said, “and ordered me Out of the house. He gald he would kill me tf I did not Jeave, but I tried to pacify him. Jie ran into the yard and got an ax from the woodshed.

Peete smoked several cigars Sunday and under the excitement induced by the nicotine stimulant he made an at- tempt to choke his wife, threatened the life of his daughter and demolished nearly all the furniture in the house.

Sunday evening, ehe testified, Peets came to the house and told her he had concluded to finish everybody and every article of furniture start by dissecting her on the dining-room table. Mra. Ppets objected to this proposi- tion and told him he would make a more satisfactory job by killing himself first. Peets caught her by the throat, threw her over the table and was choking the life out of her when she broke loose and ran screaming from the house. During her ab- sence Peets demolished all the chairs, dishes and glassware and wrecked the sew- ing machiah and other heavy articles of furniture. fe was playing a fortisse!mo asgsage on the piano with an axe when ppiro man Bockstiewe]l ran in and arrested iim.

The local wheat market was not more ac- tive Monday than on the closing days of last week. It weakened over Sunday, and opened 1\%c off from Saturday’s close, From ®@l4gc at the opening the December option advanced slowly to $2c. Little was said of wheat in the pit, and dullness kept the market almost stationary. Chicago news was carefully noted. Just nesore the call the price of December in the ‘hicago market was higher than the price of Beptember. On the strength of this there was some buying here, which caused the market to advance to 93%c, 2%c over the opening. in the house. He proposed to) The flurry was short lived. he bulk of the news was bearish, and there were sey- eral eellers in the pit who persisted in hammering down the price. After the call there was a drop from 92c to Pleo. Cables were al] lower with little or’ no foreign demand and receipts in St. Louis and in the Northwest were heavy. All of these facts had a decidedly bearish effect. The big traders were still out of ft Monday and even the outside speculators seem to have deserted the market. Trading in corn was fairly active. Will Haarstick got in the pit after noon and bid the December option from $l%gc to 92\%c. The other bulls did not follow Haarstick and the market weakened again. ~ Haarsti@k bought about 80,000 bushels on his raid. December closed at $2\c. GIRLS STILL ON A STRIKE Only a Few of the Fifty-four Shoe Workers Report for Duty. None of the fifty girls who walked out of the Mound City Shoe factory on a strike Saturday night were at work Monday. A few of them reported Monday morning, but President Tommerson said they could take a day’s rest. He thinks all will go to work Tuesday. The strike, he says, is the result of a m/'s- understanding. A temporary cut In wages Was made in order to run through the dul! season. The giris thought the cut was to be permanent. | CITY HALL CONTRACTORS FIGHT Plasterers and Electric Wiremen Inter- fere With Each Other’s Duties. There was a lively row between two con- tractors at the new City Hall Sunday. E. G. Brockman has the contract for the elec- tric wiring and Albert McCarthy has the plastering contract.

Young Link, soon after his father’s death manifested an inclination to wildness, an spent his days and nights with evil com- anions. His mother bore with him patient- s and supplied him with money. His excesses grew and his disposition be- came uglier toward his mother and sister. Mrs. Link on several occasions provided him with money to set up in business for himself, but he squandered it jn drink and riotous living. Of late liquor obtained such a mastery over him that he abused his’ mother and elister when ais persistent de- mands for money were refused. Sunday night he went home drunk and after abusing and reviling his mother an sister, began to demolish the furniture, He was crazed with drink, and, feanng that he would do them some serious fajury, they called a policeman. When the case was called Monday Mrs, Link, feeble and tottering, was led to the witness stand by her daughter. During her recital of the indignities and abuse he had subjected her the tears flowed freely from her sightiess eyes, and her voice was ‘Seohae and choked. Her daughter, supporting her on the stand, was greatly agitated and added her tears to those of the old lady. Mrs. Link and her daughter gave the'r tes. timony with the greatest reluctance. Judge Peabody tined Link §200. MUSICIANS GOING ABROAD. Mrs. Parcells and Miss Ford Have Left for Berlin.

The riot was etopped after the arrival of a patrol Wagon loaded with officers. Rev. Fr. Joseph T.

Weeet Chouteau place is Elleardville, @n old eettiement populated mostly by ne- gKroas. Since 1 white people began the gettlement of Chouteau place and vicinity, hard feeling between the races hag existed. About a year ago a band of white men Were chased across the prairies by a mob of blacks and the stones from the colored forces broke nearly every window in St. Matthew’s Church. Bunday afternoon the Hellrung & Grimm baseball! team was to play the young men of St. Matthew's parish on the latter's grounds at Natural Bridge road and New- alead avenue. Vhen- the teams arrived a number of negroes were using the grounds. They were ordered off, out they did not leave until blows had been struck and they had been worsted. After the game—about 6:30 p. m.—while the baseball teams were on their way home. they were surprised at St. Louis and Gooda avenues by a mob of about thirty negroes who began throwing stones at them. The white men retreated east on St. Louis avenue, but stopped occasionally to throw Stones at the enemy. At Maffitt avenue and Sarah street the white men made a stand, and for fifteen minutes stones flew from both sides. John Dalton of Twenty-third street and Cass avenue was struck on the back by fa stone and made helpless. He was taken home by a friend. William ©’Farrel was étruck on the right knee, receiving a slight injur John PP. Wolff, a grocer, 24% North rah street, attempted to drive his ~¥igon through the crowd of negroes, but was re- pulsed. He was bruised about the should- ers. Many of the stones thrown by the negroes truck the priest's residence, which adjoins the church. Recalling the breaking of the church windows a year before, Fr. Shields 6allied forth with a revolver to protect the property. “Bome time ago,” said Fr. Shields Mon- y, “My parish gave an entertainment in which there was a play calling for the use of blank cariridges, I had a lot of these cartridges left and, putting them in a re- Voiver, 1 placed the weapon under my cas- Bock and went out in the yard.

A VISIT. Asked for Mr. Tebbetts’ Pill and Worked Off the Gray China Co.’s Check. That check for $119, given the R. B. Gray China Company, by a smooth swindler Fri- day, has turned up. It made its appearance through the clear- ing house. Then another swindling story was developed. The William Barr Dry Goods Company is the victim. Friday last a man purporting to come from L. B. Tebbetts, passed a forged cheek on the R. B. Gray China Company by pay- ing Mr. Tebdbetts’ account with the house, and getting the firm’s check for $119.15, the excess, in return. That afternoon R. B. Gray discovered the Tebbetts check was a forgery. Chief Desmond sent a man to the bank, thinking the check would turn up there. The young man didn't go in the direction of the St. Louls National Bank. He went to Barr’s and demanded the bills of L. B. Tebbetts of 29 Portland place and W. W. Culver of 39 Portland place. Mr. Culver'’s account was only § cents. that with cash. Mr. account was $0. The check drawn by the R. B. Gray China Co. here came into play. It was drawn in favor of T. A. Moore, Mr. Tebbetts’ son-in-law, and was for $179.15. The cashier receipted Mr. Tebbetta’ bill, the swindler coolly took up a pen and forged the name, T. A. Moore, in indorsement of the check, pocketed $68.85 in cash, and walked out. Mr. Gray had stopped payment on his check, and all the loss falls on the Willdam Barr Dry Goods Co. Mr. Tebbetts’ accounts at the dry goods store and at the china store remain unpaid, although the Dills have been receipted. With all of his forg- ing and juggling of the checks the swindler realized only $68.85. George A. Wright, secretary of the dry goods company, and Mr. Gray, think the forger is a man famillar with 29 Portland place and 89 Portland place, and with the doings of the families there. He certainly knows where they trade and where they keep accounts. They say this ought to give Chief Des- mond and his men a line to work on. WE SHALL.

B. BULLOCK ESCAPED DEATH NARROWLY. SETTLED AN ACCOUNT THERE. | WIRE SCREEN GAVE WAY. Telegraph Wires Broke Her Fall and Saved Her From Dropping on a Granitoid Walk. On a cot at the Woman’s Hospital Vio- letta Bullock, the 4-year-old daughter of R. B. Bullock, a well-known dry goods mer- chant, is hovering between life and death. While at play Saturday she lurched against the screen in a second-story win- dow of her home, at 63383 Maple avenue, and plunged through to the ground, twenty feet below. Her escape from instant death was mirac- uious. Drs. Cale and Hulbert were sum- moned. After washing the wounds and learning their extent they decided that an operation was necessary. The child was removed to the Woman's Hospital and three hours after the accident she was on the operating table. After shaving off her curly hair, the doc- tor found. she had been struck on the top of her head, a little to the left side. There was a big fracture extending from the top to the base of the skull From this a num- ber of small fractures radiated like a five- pointed star. The doctors were obliged to remove a great deal of jagged bone and cleanse the fissures of the dirt that had en- tered when she fell on the ground. Drs. Cale and Hulbert say their little pa- tient is in a fair way to recover, although it is too early yet to pronounce her out of danger. Mr. Bullock said Monday the little one’s life was saved by the telegraph wires that run across the rear yard a few feet below the second-story window. “The child and her mother were in a rear room upstairs. Violetta was standing in a chair at the window shouting to a neighbor's child across the alley. “She must have loet her balance, for her mother heard her strike the screen and turning around gaw her fall out, as it gave way. “The little one struck the wires bounded up, and then «hot out beyond the granitoid walk that runs about the house. Her brother picked her up just beyond the walk. Had she struck the hard surface her head would have been split open.”’. The child’s mother has been made ill by the shock of the distressing accident. CRIED HERSELF INTO NOTICE. Unfortunate Gir] From the Country Sent to the City Hospital. Ida Reiter, a pretty 18-year-old girl from Bourbon, Mo., who has been an orphan since she was 5 years old, is the latest im- portation from the country to the City Hos- pital. She is afflicted with periodical epilep- Sy and is an object of pity. The poor girl can neither read nor write. She says she has never been to school a day in her life and that she has been made to work since she was 5 years old. She has two uncles living in Bourbon, who she Says are as poor and ignorant as she is. They can do nothing for her. A week ago Ida went to Steelville, Mo. to work as a domestic, but her physical condition was such that she could not hold the position. A purse of was sub- scribed and she was sent to St. Louis. Dr. Newcomb, who first saw her at the City Dispensary, did not think her a de- me Mey | patient for the city’s charity, and refused to send her to the City Hospital. The girl had never been in a city before, she didn’t know where to go or what to do, and she sat in the Dispensary crying for several hours until Dr. Reber came On watch, and she attracted his attention. He concluded that the girl’s condition was such that she must have immediate care and sent her to the hospital with a note of ex- planation. HORSE KICKED JOSEPH SHORT. Laparotomy Was ‘Necessary end He Will Probably Die. Joseph Short was kicked by a horse at 5 o'clock Monday morning, and received in- juries that will probably cause his death. Short is a teamster employed by the St. Louls Drayage & Transfer Co. He is 37 years old, has a wife and four children, and lives at 1838 O'Fallon street. At 6 o'clock Short entered the barn to feed his horses. As he was standing behind one of the animals that had always been gen- le, the horse euddenly let drive. Both hoofs anded in the pit of Short’s stomach. He wae lifted off his feet and thrown against the e@ide of the stable. He was unable to arise, and his groans attracted the at- tention of neighbors, who ram to eee what had happened. Short was eent to the City Hospital.

HE HEARD THE ARGUMENTS. Will Decide Late in the Week Whether Betting at the Track Is Legal. Shall the Fair Grounds pool-#ellers’ para- phernalia be destroyed by order of court? This question was argued for three hours before Judge Withrow of the Criminal Court Monday. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Withrow said: “I will pass on Thursday, Friday week.” The hearing came about through the filing of an application by Attorney Charles No- land, for a writ of seizure directed against all Fair Grounds pool sellers. The point made by Attorney Noland was that since the property of the down town pool-rooms | has been seized and ordered burned, the same law should be applied to pool sellers wherever found. Of course the proceedings Monday against the Fair Grounds people came as a direct sequel to the raid made on the pool-rooms, The court-room was crowded with spec- tators., Attorneys Charles Noland and Lou Mo- Ginniss appeared as counsel for the pool- room people. On the other side were Judge H. 8S. Priest, Mr. Chester H. Krum and Judge Thomas B. Harvey. Attorney Noland opened the argument. He discussed the Breeders’ law, under which the Fair Grounds pool-sellers ope- rate, in al] its phases. He declared that in the case at issue it Was no paps gee to the Fair Grounds; that the selling of pools to minors constituted an offense not eshield- ed by legiglation. Attorney Noland also at- tacked the constitutionality of the Breed- ers’ law. “But.” said he, “even if the breeders’ law is constitutional], there is noth'ng in its provisions to license the selling of pools to minors. The fixtures and paraphernalia are subject to seizure under the general gaanbling law.”’ Attorney Noland exhibited much interest in the cause he represents and he was forc- ibly eloquent and at times dramatic. His remarks were an elaboration of the points covered in his formal Gen for a writ of seizure against the Fair Grounds pool-sellers. Judge Harvey answered Attorney No- land in a brief speech. He argued that the Breeders’ jaw was clearly constitutional. “The legislators who made this law cer- tainly knew what they were about,” said Judge Harvey, “and we must give them credit for knowing something.” He called attention to the limiting of !m- moral resorts to prescribed districts and in- stances to illustrate his point. Judge Chester H. Krum followed Judge Harvey in supplemental argument against the issuance of the writ of seizure. “Tt makes no difference, in a legal sense, if pools were sold to minors,” Judge Krum declared. He then upheld the constitution- ality of the breeders’ law. Judge H. 8. Priest also spoke against the issuance of the seizure writ. this matter either on or Saturday of this All of the pool-room cases on docket in Judge Murphy's Court, Monday, were con- tinued until Saturday.

WILL BE AN ACTRESS, HANDSOME BLANCHE CERF THE ST. NICHOLAS IS GO- ING ON THE STAGE. ANOTHER OLGA NETHERSOLE. OF She Has a Fancy for the Modern Emo- tional and May Be Seen Next Year With the Frohmagns. St. Louls is to furnish a rival for Olga Nethersole. Miss Blanche Cerf, a cashter in the st. Nicholas Hotel Cafe, has announced to her friends her intention of resigning her pres- ent position on September 10. She will go to New York and spend the winter in de- veloping her latent histrionic talent. Then she will blossom forth as a s(ar, She is not after the laurels of Marlowe or Davenport. The sultry methods of Olga Nethersole stirred her fires of emulation. She wants to outshine the dazzling star of Albion. ° Miss Cerf has made no secret of her am- hition for months past. She was led to her determination, no doubt, through her ac- quaintance with stage people who patron- ized the St. Nicholas. I ressed by her appearance they often told her that with her face and figure, success behind the footlights was within her grasp. Bhe is “divinely ‘tall,"" but not “divinely fair.” Her skin is a rich olive tint, her hair is raven black and her eyes are dark as midnight. Her beauty has tropical fla- vor and she moves with the indolent grace of a daughter of the South. She could play “Leah, the Forsaken,” without make-p. Her greatest ambition, though, is to excel as Camille. She has seen Bernhardt, Neth- ersole, Clara Morrie and Cora Potter essay the interpretation of Dumas’ heroine, and thinks the possibilities of the role are not yet exhausted. Miss Cerf has not yet given her friends any evidence of her dramatic talents, but they feel confident she will succeeed on the stage if she puts her mind down to it. Miss Cerf is a pupil of the St. Louis pub- lic schools. She essayed newspaper work before she began making change for St. Nicholas Hotel patrons. She says it will cost her $1,000 to com- plete her elocutionary studdes. A good part of this money the young woman made by fortunate speculation at the Fair Grounds, She doesn't lay claim to any knowledge of thoroughbreds, but a number of horse- owners and bookmakers have been guests of the house, and under their skillful guid- ance, she fared better than most tyros at the racing game. When visited last night at her home, 1907 La Salle street, and asked concerning her stage intentions, she said: “Tt is true. I intend to become an ac- tress. Towards the last of September I shall go to New York City and enter the American Academy of Dramatic Art for a term of seven months. “After that I hope to be with the Froh- mans. Jt was E. §. Willard who first eug- gested my adopting the stage as a profes- sion, but for years previous to that my am- bition was known in my home. “IT have no particular line of work. Every girl who goes on the stage expects to be- come a Juliet or something of that classic sort, but I rather fancy the modern emo- tional. Still, I shall begin at the bottom, taking my studies as they come until my adaptability is proved. “It is bg lonesome to think of going so far away from home and being alone for such a long time, but one must get accus- tomed to that sort of thing. _I only hope I shall grow to be at least a credit to @t. Louls, and a year hence I want to demon. Strate my talent here.”’ NOEL WHITEHEAD. The assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Vienna, Ill, who shot Cabman John J. Minnehan at Chicago. HAD HIS FAMILY IN A HOLE Thomas Lane, Jr., Out for an Airing, Drives Into an Excavation. While out riding in a buggy with his wife and child Sunday evening Thomas Lane, Jr., of 4253 Prairie avenue, drove the horse into an excavation three feet deep in front of 28 North Broadway. The buggy was overturned and the three occupants spilled into the hole. While Lane was endeavoring .to regain his feet and extricate his wife and child the horse, in his frantic efforts to arise, plunged and kicked furiously, his hoofs perilously close to the bodies of Mrs. Lane and the _ child. Mrs. Lane wWas badly frightened and shaken up, and the child's left shoulder and arm were severely bruised. Lane righted the buggy and took his family home. The excavation was made by Francis McCabe, a contractor, who is put- ting in a water main on Broadway. WILLIAM H. GLASGOW DEAD. Typhoid Fever Carries Off an Old St. Louisan in Colorado. William H.

BLANKE’S FLL OFF THE TABLE WILLIAM SIMMONS WENT TO A WAKE AND THEN TO THE DISPENSARY. HE GOT HIS EAR SEWED ON. - Adventures of a Yéung Man Who Doesn’t Work and Is Fond of Stimulants. William Simmons, who long ago broke himself of the working habit, went to the City Dispensary Monday morning to have his ear fastened to his face. Willie bore the ear marks of a drunk which brought him to grief Sunday night. He doesn’t live any place in particular, but can most often be found around the Twenty-first street railroad yards, In the Sabbath twilight Willie walked down Gratiot street. He saw candles burn- ing in the parlor of No. 2120 and reasoned that scmebody was dead. He was right. The friends of John Johnson, who was killed in the yard Friday, were holding a wake. Willie daldn’t know Johnson, but he knocked at the door and asked permission to look at the corpse. It was granted. Willie mingled with the wakers until he grew tired. The kitchen table had been removed to the back yard to make room for the crowd, Willie lay down on the table and went to sleep. He dreamed he was working and it re ened him so that he rolled off the table. is head hit the floor hard and is left ear was nearly cut off. He was holding it in place with his hand when he visited the Dispen- sary. Wille told the doctors he had rolled off of a piano. When a reporter saw him he was weak from loss of blood. “Tt’s all right, old man,” he said. “The booze got next to me, but eay it wasn’t no piano. Dis neighborhood can prove a alibi on pianos.” DEATH OF CAPTAIN WHITE, . Had Been a Resident of St. Louis for Over Half a Century. Capt. Joseph W.
