TT SHE WAS ON THE WAY TO HER HOME, TT Her Discarded Sweetheart Arrested, on Complaint of Her Sister, but There Seems to Be Little Evidence of His Guilt— The Police Are Investigating the Case. Sadie Cartledge staggered into her sister's home, 3679 Manchester avenue, at 7:30 o’clock last night. She sereamed in agony and fell to the floor. Her clothing was torn into rags, her long and beautiful black hair was missing—it had been cut off close—and her neck, shoul- ders and breast were ecarred with vitriol, Mrs. Eliza Hays, the sister, and Michael Evans, who lives in the same house, were at home when the girl came in. As she sank, moaning, half fainting to the floor, Mrs. Hays sprang to her side, She lifted the girl's head Into her lap and was horrified by the expression of suffering. “For heaven's sake, what has happened, Sadie?’ cried Mrs. Hays. But the girl had fainted, The sister and Mr. Evans carried her tnto a bedroom. Then Mr. Evans hurried over to Park and Compton venues for Dr. Larnes., As soon as the young woman was restored to consciousness she related to her sister the story of a terrible encounter with two men in a vacant lot.

Bren- man. a farmer near Sturgis, died at 11:45 on the night of Nov. 20, but he didn’t, He had been suffering from a severe at- tack of typhoid fever. About noon of the 2th he lapsed into unconsciousness. Finally respiration ceased not the faintest pulsation was discernible and no blood followed the prick a Jancet in the patient’s hand. Presently his lower jaw dropped and it be- came necessary to tle a handkerchief about his head to keep his mouth closed. For eight hours he remained motionless and, to all appearances, lifeless, Then one of the watchers entered the room in which he lay, and chancing to glance at the face of the supposed corpse, noticed the faint- possibie twitching of an eyelid. Physi- were hastily summoned and within two hours the patient was able to articulate, I’rom that point he gained. Now he is on the high road to recovery. tive hourg a(ter what his friends termed his “return from the dead,” he made a brief statement of his sensations during the period of his unconsciousness. He wag still so weak that his voice could be heard only a few feet away, but he was perfectly rational and his story was told without pause or hesitation, “I must have been unconscious several hours before I died,” he began. “I knew my mind was wandering, but couldn’t seem to recall it until, finally, I felt myself gink- ing away, when my Draiwgrew as clear as it has ever been. I decided I was dying, but experienced no fear and little regret at leaving my family and friends. Then fol- lowed a blank, I don’t know how long it lasted, Finally I began to regain con- sciousness. But I was surrounded by inky darkness and powerless to move, Presently everything turned to blood red. I didn’t see the light, but knew that it existed, as one feels the presence of a brilliant illumination without opening hig eyes, “Then I seemed to be moving rapidly— mot my body, but my mind or soul, as you choose to call it. Presently I found myself in a strange country. The grass was a viv- id greeh, the streams like glass and the trees loatied with fruit. I saw thousands of people, but knew none of them, They spoke neither to me nor to one another. But I was not lonely. I was simply per- fectly happy and care-free. “All this time I neither felt nor needed the presence of a body. I can’t eay what form I took cr whether I even had a form. Jt was the same with every one about me. I say I saw them—yet that hardly de- Scribes it. I felt their presence without seeing, hearing or feeling them as one uses the terms in this world. “I did not walk, but was simply wafted unconsciously wherever I wished to go. I felt no motion and no time seemed to be occupied in these trips, yet my surround- ings constantly changed. So far ae I know, indeed, I did not move at all.

DISCHARGED THE LAWYERS. The Breach of Promise Judgment of Over $54,000 Released and All Is Lovely Again. Srecial to the Post-Dispatch. DANVILLE, IL, Nov. 27.—Public atten- tion down town to-day riveted itself on the famous buggy of John Gernand, in which he and Carrie Corbett were wont to drive about and in which they took that long drive to Vincennes. The public could hard- ly believe its eyes, but the evidence was indisputable. In the same buggy were the said John Gernand and the said Carrie Cor- bett. Then speculation became rife and rumor traveled about in all kinds of guises. They were seen to drive east, and it was ru- mored that they were going to Irvington, Ind., to get married. But it is not belleved that Cupid has again entangled their hearts in the meshes to that extent, as they were soon back in town and in an office, the door of which bore the legend: Mabin & Clark, Attornevs at Law. Animosity hat given way to a fond man- ner and a tender glance meited the famous breach of promise verdict of $54,333.33 like an iceberg under a tropical sun. The ver- dict was the one granted to Mrs. Corbett in the breach of eons trial against the aged cap.talist. t was plain that there was a settlement on. Just what it cost Gernand is not known, but the lawyers were paid, Mrs. Corbett signed a release of all claims, and it is reported that $6,000 or $7,000 will cover the expense. Attorney Clark said that the whole mat- ter was settled. It was said they were the most amiable pair on earth. Clark sought to assist Mrs. Corbett up the Couft-house gteps, but the gallant Gernand stepped to the front and did the gallant act. The settlement came @s an all-around surprise to every attorney engaged in the case, Af- ter the verdict was rendered by the judge for $64,000, Grnand’s attorneys made a mo- tion for a new trial. The motion was ex- pected to be argued next week. Mrs. Corbett acted as spokeswoman, She informed Mr. Mabin, who was her leading counsel, that it was no use to argue the point with her; that her mind was made up; that she and Mr. Gernand had come to a perfect understanding, and that they were there to settle the case.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1897. | PARIS, Nov. 27.—The Dreyfus case con- tinues to absorb attention and it is now believed that the desperate efforts of the War Office to prevent the rehabilitation of the jll-starred prisoner on “Devil's Island” 4s destined to failure. I learn on good au- thority that Dreyfus is now practically un- recognizable, Hiis hair. has turned quite white. He is a complete wreck, and even if the inquiry now being carried on were to prove a prelude to his release his life syvould be more or less a blank to him. He ex'sts, that is all. The only wonder is that he still Ilngers on. Countless persons endowed with strong have snec- constitutions would already cumbed to the system which he is subjected to. Such is the opinion of those who have watched him on the spot, as a letter just received from French Guiana abundantly testifies. Since he has been settled at the island Dreyfus has only been rarely visited by the Governor or other officials. Eleven wardcers are told off to guard him might and day, a couple at a time, who are relieved every two hours. They are! strictly enjoined never to speak to the pris- oner unless for some ‘mperative reason for eo doing. Thus Dreyfus spends days and weeks together precluded from converse with fellow creatures. Until July he dwelt fn a hut situated in the lower part of the fsland, but he was then removed to @ pla- teau higher up. The structure he now in- habits is about thirty feet in length, ten feet in breadth. It ts divided into two rooms aimost of equal size, one with but two windows looking out. One, a sort of court yard is reserved for Dreyfus’ egress from it, being through a door in the par- tition which separates it from the other) chamber where the warders are posted. In front of this hut jis a bit of ground some forty yards in area, enclosed by a very |, thick palisade sixty feet in height, so the prisoner cannot catch a glimpse of the sur- rounding scenery, but hag only a dead wall to gaze upon. The wretched man tried to convert the _srounds into a littie garden, but the soil ras too peor and pebbly, and he had to give , the idea. When he arrived at the Ile Diable he used to begulle his time working | out algebraical problems on a slate, but | after awhile he abandoned the practice. He | mow passes hours together in reading and | writing letters. The provisions with which he is supplied | are reduced to fresh meat, alternating with | bacon, while bread, vegetables, salt and | pepper, the last even regarded as a favor, complete the miserable list. Owing, however, to money he is permitted to receive from France, £0 a month, Dreyfus is able to supplement _ this sneager diet. Such its the life or rather the existence led by this unhappy man, and from which his relatives and friends are en- deavoring to free him while clearing his character as well. ENGLISH LABOR MATTERS. Engineering Conference a Menace to Trades Unions. LONDON, Nov. 27.—The engineering con- ference apparently bodes il] to trade ‘union- iam. The essence of the provisional agree- ment is that the “Masters Union” (Employ- ers’ Federation) is to be free to introduce finto the federation workshops systems not existing in any other workshop without consideration of the wishes of the trades union. The employers have in mind the system of ogee work in certain workshops, and it Is the right to substitute individual @greements for collective bargains which the masters are asking the unions to sign away. If this is accorfplished, it involves euch vital changes in the methods upon which industry has hitherto been conducted, as to menace every trades union in the country. Indeed -tthe eituation !s regarded as being so critical that there is talk of summoning a national convention of repre- eentatives of all organized labor to discuss | the matter. A tt. i'and statistics that fered a bonus of $2,500. year’s salary, to any one who succeeded in securing for him the coveted postion. In addition, he spent money among his friends With the utmost lavishness in the hope that it might act as a lever to bring him nearer the realization of his wishes.

There are now on file an average of th.rteen ap- Pl.cations for each of these offices, a total of 60,606 applications stored away in the archives of the Executive Mansion, The indorsemenis attached to each application | range from five to well up in the hundreds. Before leaving Canton the President re- ceived in excess of 60.00 letters, recom- mending people to official preferment. The 609 appointments made during the congressional recess were chiefly postmas- ters. The supply of these places will remain about the same for the remainder of this administration, as the rule has been ren- dered effective that each postmaster shall be allowed to serve out ‘the time for wiich he was appointed. There are move 40,000 prospective places in the Post-office Department Which will not be vacant fora long time. More than 400,000 letters have al- ready been filed at the department since tae present administration came into office. During the first four months of Mr. Me- Kinley’s service applications for. positions came through the mails at the rate of 6u0 per day. That number has been slightiy reduced, but at present more than 30 com- munications come daily. There are never less than six and often as high as twenty applicants for each place within the gift of the President, Up to this time the Presi- deat has given out a small percentage above one-fourth of the offices at his dispae!. It ls shown by carefully prepared estimates 119,938 applicants called in person to urge their claims for the first Quarter of the Federal patronage. These estimates do not include Senators and Rep- resentatives, who average fifty calls daily during the session. At the rate which has been maintained for nine months, it ts evident that 359,806 persons will pay personal visits to the President during the remainder of his term to seek | In other words the total of ' advancement. personal applicants for ihe four years of his incumbency wall aggregate 479,140: This computation ailows for a falling off of one- fourth in the number of those who shall ca!] upon the Chief Executive during the last three years of his term.

And that number must be reduced in ex- act ratio With the proportion of Democrats Who are given recognition in return for their support, Several such appointments have already been made, including Conrad N. Jordan, as Sub-Treasurer at New York. It is thus evident that the ratio of one in eighty will not be materially changed dur- ing the entire period of Mr. McKinley's Official tenure. One man will obtain an of- fice where seventy-nine will exhaust their resources, endure privation, shed tears of bitterness and entail] upon themselves life- long suffering. The case of Golden of Guthrie, O. T., Whose tnysterious disappearance suggests a icltermination to end his existence, fur- nishes @ text for moralizing. The story of his lfe, as told by- himself to intimate friends, contains all the elements of a hard- luck narrative. His period of poverty and disappointment, With an interval of pros- perity, is followed by a lapse into the oid Siough of despondency, and indicates that he has grown weary of trying to stem a persisjenly adveree t de.

Y., Nov. 27.—The mar- riage of Mrs. Catherine Coleman of Scott Township, Pa., and Henry Wayman of McClure Settlement, Delaware County, N. Y.. took place Tuesday evening. The bride is & years of age and the bridegroom is 74. The Rev. Mr. Jenks of Gulf Summit per- formed the ceremony in the presence of 300 spectators, who came for miles around. The wedding was he!d in a large barn, which had been cleared of hay to make room for ithe guests. The intcr:or was lighted by lJan- terns and lamps of all kines, including jack o’ lanterns made by cand:es set within pumpkin rinds cut to resemble goblins’ faces. During the wedding service the couple stood on a platform of boxes and barrels sg that every guest might see. After the ceremony the couple shook hands with everybody present, and many availed them- selves of the opportunity to kiss the bride. At one end of the barn was an impro- vised table of boards laid upon sawhorses, On it was the wedding feast. There were | chicken ples, salads, roasts of beef and pork, with mince and pumpkin pies, and plenty of cider for everybody. In short, it was a great farmers’ feast of solid food, served in a home-like manner, without any frills. There was enough for all and to spare and the guests ate and praised it mightily. The young folks had brought with them ‘“‘Uncle Bill’ Daniels, the best violin player | i { | in the neighborhood, and his son, who played on the jews’-harp. Tne Rev. Mr. Jenks, however, objected to dancing as being against the rules of his church, but his opposition was overcome by the merry-makers’ teasing und after the ‘tables have been taken away real cotillions were danced. The barn floor was uneven, but the dan- cers went through the Virginia reel with- out much inconvenience and quadrilles and other square Gances were kept up until the lanterns burned out. Then the wedding par- ty broke up, after giving three cheers for bride and groom. Mr. Wayman is a well-to-do farmer and this is his third venture in matrimony. He said he proposed to make his third mar- riage a “hummer’’—one that would be re- membered always.

He was in the CHICAGO, Noy. 27.—The long man hunt | house at 60 Hope street on Friday night of | last week, when the screams of Mrs. Merry | were heard as she begged her husband to} spare her life. He was with him afterward and, acting on the theory that the woman has been murdered, the police are holding Hickey on the charge of being an accessory to the crime. When Hickey was taken by the police these same officers were only a few min- utes too late to apprehend Merry and Smith in the same place. Information reached the police station at noon that the three men were in the HNvery stable of Nick Red- mond at 569 West Twelfth street. A squad of policemen, under the command of Capt. Wheeler, hastened to the place and sur- rounded it. Merry and Smith had fied, but Hickey was found under a@ Manger in the basement of the stable. Nick Redmond, owner of the stable, was 4lso arrested and held con the charge of harboring criminals. ' Six Thugs Who Are Supposed to Be Implicated in the Mysteri- ous Murder Are Now in Custody. He is, like Hickey and the other two men wanted, an ex-convict, having served a sentence in Joliet for murcer fourteen years ago.

Wheeler remembered that Redmond had attempted to ' qualify as} bondsman for Merry about two months | ago, and so informed his prisoner. About this time one of the policemen drove up| to the station with Merry’s rig, which had been found in Redmond’s stable. Despite | these proofs Redmond still refused to! make any statement except in the nature | of a general denial, and was sent back to} his ceil. ° The rig, which the police learned had | been left at Redmond’s stable on Monday | night, was covered with mud. The horse, | which ten days ago is known to have been | a well-fed and high-spirited animal, was) worn, broken-winded and half starved, as | well as lame in one foot. The rg was cent to Eberly’s stables at 261 West Tweifth street. An examination of the wegon falled | to furnish any clew. No blood stains were | found, but the condition of the horse and | the wagon !s taken by the police as evt- dence of a long and hard drive prior to | Monday night. It is held by the police that Merry, with the aid of Smith and Ryan, took the body of} murdered woman away early on Sun- day morning, and are supposed to have re- turned to the city during the afternoon. Where the trio placed the wagon on Sun- day night is not known, but the employes of the Redmond stable inform the —_ that the rig had not been used since Mon- day morning, consequently the trave! stains and the broken condition of the horse must, according to Capt. Wheeler, be the fina of hard service between Sunday morning and Monday morn:né. : i with | swindier, URBES CONFESSION, _ PECULIAR CHARACTER OF THE MAN WHO CLAIMED TO BEA DOUBLE MURDERER. | i ONE CREDULOUS ATTORNEY.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 27.—"T¢ Tf can help Durrant, the alleged murderer, under sentence of death at San Francisco, I want to do so,” said Attorney E. M. Merriman to-day, exhibiting at the same time a pack- age of letters and legal documents bearing the signature, “A. D. Forbes.” He said: “Yes, I knew Forbes, or J. B. Blanther, quite well, and I believe he told the truth when he wrote that letter confessing the murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnle Williams, at Oakland, of which Durrant is accused. I believe sincerely that Durrant is innocent, and if I can be of any service in establishing that fact or proving the authenticity of the confession, I will do £0 gladly. “Forbes married Miss Agnes Cameron on Dec. 18, 1892, and they resided until the fol- lowing March with the family of J. R. Wayne, one of Little Rock’s best cltizena. Mrs. Forbes always impressed me as a woman of great culture and refinement. | with no semblance of the adventuress; tn | fact, during their stay here, both she and her husband conducted themselves with the | utmost gentility, “Forbes confided in me the fact that he was a foreign nobleman, temporarily em.

The company in March, IstS, caused them to be arrested | on the charge of embezzlement, but both | were promptly acquitted upon examination before Justice Hiram Robbins. Later the agent of the company went before the Pu- laski Grand-jury and made an effort to have them indicteS, but failed. Forbes and | his wife then brought sult In the Federa] Court for $6,000 damages for false impris- | onment, but the suit failed on account of our inability to secure service on a re-/| sponsible representative of the firm.

Goins’ description of his wife tallied exactly with that of the dead woman found in the well, even to a peculiar mark on one foot. His identification led to the « arrest of George Acker and Clarence Hand at Elbow Lake, Minn.

She said that she left her husband in Montrose early in April in com- pany with Hand. They came to Keokuk and were encamped near Hubenthal’s Grove _for awhile. They fell in with Acker and the three proceeded to travel north. She says that on April 27 Hand left them, and that she and Acker traveled alone, he going 10 ‘miles out of his way to see her safely home fin Lynxviile, and then went to his own home in Elkhorn, Wis. Here Hand was oan encountered by Acker, and together they went to Elbow Lake, where they were arrested.

They had becn seen near the scene of the tragedy and then disappeared. Rewards were offered by the State and coynty for the arrest of Adkisson. He was not seen until Thanks- xiving Day, when he was arrested at Mo- berly and taken to Kahoka, in Clark County, to be tried for murder. But again the fates were against the au- thorities. Lelia Sumpter showed up this morning at Moberly, alive and well. She announced that she would go to Kahoka. when necessary, in Adkisson’s trial.

But their extreme s0- Nicitude lest McKinley should be attacked when his hands have only been sought by me to be upheld and advised against the disintegration of the party. As though no criticism of his managers—ill-advised and acting managers—is perm'ssible! There is a vagt difference between honest-intentioned William McKinley and his acting managers, Tf a chairman of a national committee 1s §nfallible, why don’t the infall.bility de- ecend, and why criticise the Chairman of the State Committee who holds his posi- tion by virtue of his unanimous State con- vention vote, and is not amenable to the will of the individual members of the com- mittee as to either his term of office or individual views when unofficially but tru- ly expressed? That’s the personal right of every committeeman, and certainly I know it, because they have been unrestrictedly expressing themselves—many of them for many months. I have not found fault; it was their privilege to criticise, and they have opitiolaed, No attempt to discipline them has been made. They are amenable only to their constituents, as am I, and I believe that my conetituents—the whole par- ty of the State—are in line with my policy, es stated by me, and not as misstated by the Kickers.. They dodge behind a tomb- Stone and avoid facts and the necessities of the immediate and fair discussion of every policy of the party. I have not descended and don’t intend to, to a mere issue of patronage. It is too low. Great principles are at stake and are what divide rreat parties. Now is the time for fair and full and free discussion as to measures and men. With the factional and irritable question of pie distribution T have mo issue. My lines were made in 1888 and repeated so often since that pie distribution should come from the bottom up and not from the top down, I have had no candi- date to present—not a single one, and have indorsed mone except they have had the backing of the local Republicans and Coun. ty organizations. I have had no pledges, or instruction breakers and constituent de- ceivers to reward from the paironage of the Administration. It’s not fair to the rege eourl to say or admit that they have a penonal Committeeman. The whole State nows that one was not elected according to the instructions or wishes of the party, ‘but one was selected through office broker- ‘age and instruction breaking, and jt is that gh crime against organization, and the Party, that I am criticising, and propose to eriticilse until the verdict of the party either epproves or Alsapproves of it.

He left for Kansas City at 9:30 o’clock last evening with a secret locked tight in his breast, with which he intends to make glad a few of his former cronies. The secret is nothing more nor less, Mr. Ward says, than his discovery of gold on the American side of the Alaskan lina. Exactly where he will not tell, but he adds that there ig plenty to go around, and when he returns and takes out what he wants he will split up with a few of his old friend and relatives, Ward is a weather-beaten miner of about 40 years, He made his discovery by acci- dent, and he quotes the accident in his argument that One doesn’t have to be an expert miner to meet with geuccess in Alas- ka, “A tenderfoot,” says Mr. Ward, stands just as much show as anybody else.

QUESTION OF ANNEXATION. Pettigrew and Dubois Coming Home and Will Make a Fight Against McKinley’s Scheme. HONOLULU, Nov. 20, via San Francisco, Nov. 27.—Advices received to-day from Ja- pan state that no progress has been made in the negotiations about the emigrant af- fair, owing to the fact that Hawaii sticks | invariably to the policy of procrastination, in the hope, it is claimed, of transferring the responsibility of paying the compénsa- tlon to the United States, but not affecting the proposed annexation. At this juncture another difficulty has sprung up, A cer- tain emigration company in Honolulu has unlawfully appropriated the deposit money of the emigrants, and Minister Shima- moura attempted to bring the matter be- fore that tribunal. The company, greatly astonished at the attitude of the Minister, threatened to disclose all the weak points of Japan in the negoliations at issue should the Minister insist on carrying out his plan to the bitter end. Under these circumstances the current trouble is at present.in @ state of suspense. The Japanese Government has forwarded to the Hawaiian Government a claim for damages in the emigrant affair. The amount claimed is said to be about 400,000 yen $200,- | (000), which includes the Joss incurred by the emigrants and the expense of dispatching | a man-of-war to Honolulu. The Yomiuri states that of Hawaii wiehes to withdraw his proposal to submit the emigrant affair to arb .tra- tion and pay $100,000 as compeneat.on for ‘The reason for this to effect annexation of the istands to the United States, and is of the opinion that to attain th's all obetacles must be removed It i Hawalil hus already made an offt- clal report to that effect to his home goy- ernment.

Should this turn out to be a fact, the Hawaii affair will be set- tled earlier than expected. Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota and ex-Senator Dubois of Idaho left for San Francisco to-day. Both men are practical- ly against annexation. It is a change of front on the part of Dubois. When he was a member of the Senate, L. A.» Thurston, who was then Hawaiian Minister at Wash- ington, remarked and repeated frequently that Senator Dubois was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the annexation proposal, In a recent speech before a meeting of Hawailans at Hilo, Hawaii, Pettigrew sald: “We came to your island for the purpose of ascertaining what the people who live in this country thought about the question of annexation of the islands, and also to see what we could learn about the desirability of annexing these islands, if we found the people wanted them annexed, on the part of the United States. I had supposed that many of your people were in favor of ane nexation, because [t has been so represent- ed, but I have talked to many, and I heve failed to find a native Hawaiian who is not opposed to annexation to the United States and in favor of your own government. “T shall tell what I have seen and ‘what I have heard in the Senate when the question comes up.

Serving His First Term From the Sixth Ward and Is One of the Solid Seventeen. Otto Schumacher, member of the Flouse of Delegates from the Sixth Ward, held a session by himself In a cold, clammy cell at the Chestnut Street Police Station last night. He alone constituted a quorum, Preliminary to this novel session was a sensational street scene In which Delegate Schumacher and Policeman John McMullen figured as principals. On the books at the Chestnut Street Sta- tion Delegate Schumacher is charged with reckless driving, aiso with disturbing the peace. He was arrested on Broadway, be- tween Olive and Pine streets, last night shortly before 6 o’clock, after a fierce struggle. The police version of the affair is that Delegate Schumacher was driving south on Broadway et a rate of speed that would do credit to a fire chief en route to a con- flagration. His buggy, covered with a storm top and with drawn curtains, bounded from one side of the street to the other. Pedes- trians scrambled wildly to get out of the way. Other drivers lined their vehicles up alongside of the curbstones, hoping that Delegate Schumacher would pass without colliding. As his buggy bounded along the fire flew out of the pavement. Policeman McMullen risked his life by running in front of the wild driver grabbed the horse by the bridle bits, gate Schumacher cried “whoa” and the horse stopped. Then, aceording to the po- lice story, the municipal statesman sprang from his buggy and challenged the police. man to fight. The policeman did not want to ight, so he deciared, but he was anxious = arrest Delegate Schumacher for reckless ariving. When finally the arrest was accomp! shed Policeman MeMullien held his prisoner until he called a wagon from the Cheetnut street station. Forewarned by the resistance that had already been offered, the policeman de. ciined to take chances of holding his cap- tive in an ordinary patrol wagon which hae ho cover. “Better send the cage up." was the mes- sage the officer conveyed to the station. And the cage Was sent. Delegate Schu.- macher was bundied into ft.

Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for the Cause. Heart troubles, at least among Ameri- cans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excite- nent and worry of American business life, it 1s more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion Real, organic heart disease is incura- ble; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic. The close relations between heart trou- ble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric. In another way aleo the heart is af- fected by that form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from hali digested food; there is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, inter- fering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath, Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment for heart troubles is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation food. This can best be done by the regular use alter meals, of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive properstm like Stuart's Dyspepsia T which Bem 4 be found at most drug stores and contain valuable, harmiess digestive ele- ments, in a pleasant, convenient form, It is safe to say that the regular, per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any iorm of stom- ach trouble, except cancer of stomach.

It yelps with pain and an- | Post-Dispatch. The Times can blame no one but itself for the exposure of its hypocrisy and villainy. Its own ma- |'lignancy has caused its downfall. If it had been content to sneak into decent company with the ehame-faced humility befitting its unspeakable past, the Post- Dispatch might have passed it by with pity and contempt. But when the wretch assumed an air of virtue and not only attempted to play a confidence game on the Democracy, but maligned and abused its betters, the Post-Dispatch could not refrain from unmasking the wolf nor withhold the hand of righteous rebuke. That the Post-Dispatch’s indictment hurt was to be expected. It hurt because the Times knows that every word of it | gon. ' gold was true and because it knows that every man familiar with its wolf career knows | that we spoke nothing but the truth. The character of the Times as a con- had no scruples against the infliction of | capita) punishment and then hanging the jury on the plea that he had _ such scruples of conscience. It was a rare in- etance of an indictment of a juror for wrongdoing. Justice is so often obstruct- ed and defeated with impunity through jurors that a warning example of this kind is badlv needed. The other piece of good news concerned the indictment of Flanigan and Elsner for attempted legislative bribery. The importance of the action of the Cole County Grand-jury in bringing these in- dictments cannot be overestimated. It is to be hoped it Is only the beginning of the good work in this direction. We have plenty of law for the protection of the people from corrupt lobbyists and boodling legislators, if Grand-juries and law officers would only enforce it. i ——--—.

Mr. Paul Tyner, who is an educated manand has no sex-relation crankism of the Teed or Sehweinfurth order in his theories, is trying to convince his hear- ers and readers that it is possible to be- immortal here on earth, without passing through the change called death. To explain this belief, Mr. Tyner gave a series of lectures in Denver, which are embodied in a book under the title of “The Living -Christ.” The chief factors in bringing about this condition of immortality for the body, ac- cording to Mr. Tyner, appear to be a perfect faith in the possibility of it, and a life patterned after that of Christ, when interpreted by the highest and best modern thought. jsut does the human race really want an earthly immortality? And would such an immortality be good for it? Nay, would it be practicable for the race, if possible for the individual? Even if we could live always on this globe, would we care to do so?

There is an {iillus- trated Bible in the house, and on this the boy seized. He asked the meaning of the pictures and the names of the charac- ters. Once told he never forgot. He can now take the book and describe the pe. cullarities of the char- acters as vividly as though he were a close Biblical stu- dent. It is only within the last week or two that his preaching propen- sity has been strongly demonstrated. Visitors were at his father’s home two Sundays ago, when the little fellow tod. dled into the room and quietly began to drag the chairs into the form of a semi- circle. When he had arranged them to his satisfaction he mo- tioned the guests with an impatient gesture, saying: “You sit there, want to preach.” To humor him those present took the seats he had _ indicated.

LONDON, Nov. 27.—Barnum’s mammoth show is now in full possession of the gigan- tic Olympia Building, where hundreds of workmen are toiling day and night complet- ing preparations for the opening. ‘‘The noise of the hammering, the shouting of men and the roaring of wild animals and general chaos make it the nearest approach to pan- demonium this steady going village has ex- perienced for many days,”’ said Col. J. A. Bailey. “We had a very pleasant voyage after the first three days out, but during those three days we had wild, rough water with white squalls.

In this pitching and roll- ing we lost the giraffe Daisy, which was thrown forward with her head down and broke her neck in two places. She was hauled up and skinned on the top of the elephant cages, The skin will be sent to the Museum of Natural History. She was purchased from the Cincinnati Zoo, and was the only giraffe on the American con- tinent in the last few years. “Pilot, the veteran b‘g, white baggage horse, which had heen with the show yo) seas years, died the first day out. Two other baggage horses and two monkeys were also lost during the trip. “Pagie, a beaut!ful black stallion, which delighted thousands of Americans with hia couthee couchee dance with O’Brien on his back, died off Bishop Liéght and was burted at sea.

She felt so well on the wind-up that she got into a scrap with the tigers living on the other side of her three- foot alley, and slammed her big china bowi at them. The tigers kicked and growled too much to suit her ladysh'p. “Philip, the big pet monkey, got loose one day and defied arrest. For several hours he skipped from tde top of one cage to another in the sem!-darkness. Dinner time brought Philip home penitert. “One of the big elephants lashed at the opposite after-hatch, was miserably sea- sick and leaned against the side of the cage and wept great globules of tears all day long. his.nerveless trunk lying around in the hay any old way. “The last nine days was like steaming down the Mississippi. The side show band merrily piped things up these days, while the Arab acrobets built pyramids and trained dogs performed on the deck. “Down in the saloon the women and ch’'l. dren played interesting games, while some- body wrestled with the piano almost any hour of the day and night.

Rudolph Gunner of this city recalls the days when he was the friend and companion of an Emperor, tho esquire of an Fiompress and a court official of anemplire. With mingled feelings of re- egret and pathos recounts the troublous times when he bore his lovely burden through the wilds of Southern Mexico @cross the border tnto Yucatan, and after- ward appeared wi! in the courts of Europe to plead 4) her ill-starred husband, whose royal birth could not save him from an !znomintous d Gunner a play: Maxt- giilian, then Archduke of Austria and later Imperor of Mexico.

Gunner. “It is sald that he ‘guaran- teed Maximilian that the French troops should be maintained in the country until 1868, but this promise, if it was made, was abrogated by the action of the Goyernment f the United Siates, which, as soon as the Civil War was over, took steps to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. These are matters of history Everybody knows in a general way of the countless troubles that beset Maximilian in his efforts to establish a dynasty in Mexico, and of the manner in which he was finally court-martialed and executed, “Although the Emperor 4d!d Mexico until the spring of 1864, t spirit of op ion was 680 great that in the utumn of 1865 he decided, as a precaution- ary measure, to send the Empress Carlotta out of the country. Maximilian and 1 had been friends from boyhood, We had trav- eled together and fought together, and at his request I had accompanied him to Mex- ico, when he went there to become Em- peror. He had faith in my friendship, and had appointed me an officer of his court. When he decided to seclude the Empress he entrusted her implicitly into my care and ordered me to take her to Yucatan. A Visit to the United States was not consid- ered advisable, owing to the national pre- judice existing in this country against ®laximilian and the schemes of Napoieon lil, Yucatan was the nearest other coun- try of any prominence, and the Emperor desired to send her there, believing that fhe would be safe. The journey from Chapultepec, then the national capital, re- quired only a ehorg time. We traveled incognito, and thus escaped annoyance. Bul it is not probable that even the revo- lutionists would have made any hostile demonstrations, as much as they hated Maximilian and his royal ideas, for the Empress had endeared herself to the hearts of all classes by her gentleness and piety and philanthropic works.

At last Carlotta secured an audience with Napoleon, but it did no good. Besides the Austro-Prussian war, the United States had warned the French nation to keep its hands off of Mexico, and even then the re- call of Napoleon's troops from the land of the Montezumas was being arranged, Re- fusal meant war with the United States, and with so much to look after at homa, the Emperor could not afford to keep the Promise he had made to Maximilian. she “A more tragic interview probably never took place in any country. The beautiful young Empress pleaded the cause of her husband with desperato earnestness and zeal. Napoleon:hesitated, questioned, pon- dered and became confused, Finally he an- nounced his decision that he could not af- fom! to have his troops remain In Mexico. Then and there he broke the sacred con. tract he had made with Maximilian three years before, and by that act he broke the heart of poor Cariotu. “So intense was the strain under wh'ch che had been laboring that all at once, while in the presence of Napoleon, her mind gave way.

Her dementia was ap- parent when we departed from Paris and anxious indeed were the days of that mem- orable journey. Fortunately the Empress was not-violent, but the weight of the re- sponsibility I carried was so great that I could searcely eat or sleep. What if any- thing should happen to her, thousands of miles away from home? It was a terrible thought Even then Maximilian 4d not know of the condition of her mind. “After the day they parted at Vera Cruz they never met again, “Even before we left Paris afl Europe as aware of Carlotta’s affliction.

On occasion her dementia was appare oa startling degree. She refused a cup of choa@olate offered her by the Pope, cla!m.- ing it was poisoned. During the interview she became a raving maniac. After great difficulty she was conveyed to a hotel and jater to Miramrare, to the wonderful palace which Maximilian had erected for her pleasure on @ picturesque promontory in the Adriatic Se She inbored under the delusion that everything offered her was poisoned and nothing could remove this impression from her disordered mind. She refused all food except that which ashe rrepared for he rself. She was taken charge of by the royal relatives of her husband in Austria, but later, at the order of her brother and against the advice of her phy- siclans, she was removed to Belgium and placed in a retreat at Tervueren. That place was burn and she Was taken fo » similar institution at Bouchout, Ove miles from Rruseseis, where she is to-day. “For more than a quarter of a century she knew nothing the tragic death of Emperor Maximilian. Even as late as 156 she believed him to be a prisoner In Mexico, Just how or when she learned of hy fate 4 unknowa, genitis . of “The mission of Carlotta to Paris and Rome, as a matter of course, considering her condition, was a fallure Even had she been possessed of all her facvfities, her eloquence and charms of manner would have availed her nothing. Napoleon was not in a position to carry out his promige and as Maximilian had failed to keep his agreement with the Catholic Church and had disregarded the edicts of the Pope, the latter did not feel bound to carry out his part of the contract. History has already recorded how these conditions sealed the doom of Maximilian in Mexico. “I have never seen Carlotta since the day I left her tn charge of relatives and friends at Miramare, the birthplace of Max- imiijian. I hastened back to Mexico to be with the Emperor in success or defeat, and remained with him until the day of his death. “A few months ago it was reported that Carlotta was regaining her mind, and that ehe longed to visit Mexico. The Mexican Government offered to extend to her every courtesy In the event of such a visit, but her condition was not «uch as to perm travel. Recently it was published that she was on the verge of death, but nothing has been heard of her condition since then. “Poor Carlotta! The tragedy of her life is one of the most pathetic tn all history. For more than thirty years this once gra- cious and beautiful woman has gazed through prison bars upon a world tn which there remains for her no joy. Napoleon would have been merciful {f he had etricken her dead. The biow that he gave her was worse than fatal. “Maximilian had heard of her affilction be- fore I returned to Mexico.

And in this wise: The name of Rob- ert Keayne is one well remembered in Boston and by many revered, He it was who imported the Ancient and Honor- able Artillery Com- pany from London and established and nourished ¢t until it took firm root and fiourished. In the year 1636 Capt. Keayne dwelt in a comfortable house on the spot which we now describe as the corner of Wash- ington and State streets. Now it came to pass that one day, as Capt. MNeayne opened his door in the early morning to inhale the air, he discovered a stray sow rooting about in the dooryard. He did not recognize it as the property of any of his tmmedi- ate neighbors, and as in all probability a pound had not at that day been instil- tuted, the Captain drove the stray ani- mal dnto his own sty and shut the door upon her. He then posted sundry notices about the town, calling upon the owner of the sow to apnear and claim and take away his property. The Captain also procured the ser- vices of the town crier. But it was all in vain. Many came to look at the sow, but no claimant for her appeared and the long days of summer and tumn wore away and still the visiting remained upon premises of Keayne. At the sharp, days of the rapidly approaching winter admonished the Captain that the time for pig stick- ing had arrived. Both the Captain's own Pig and the vis- iting porker had, by this time, attained largely increased proportions, and, 60 far as the pork bar- rel was concerned, there was really lit- tle. if any, choice between the two. But Capt. Keayne was conscient ous— in this matter, cer tainly—and it was his own well-grown pig that felt t! knife of the butch- er and was duly cut into proper seciions and salted down for the wenter. Now it must be confessed that Capt. Keayne was not a universal] favorite of the town. Tie often dealt in supplies of various kinds, and it was at times an open complaint that h's charges were much larger than they should be; his profits were dis- tely lle had even fined in -the extortion, reputation him with ty. There was none, however, who ventured to charge the Captain with downright dis- honesty until Mrs Sherman was heard from.

Mrs. Sherman, chagrined ‘at. the outcome of the tr:al, was not back- ward about discurgs- ing the merits of the case upon the street corners, and was so exceedingly free with her ex- pressions of opinion of Capt.

RICE ts a widow living at the little village of Wyatt, in Ellis County, Tex. Her youngest child. Ruby, has just passed her tenth birthday. Ruby was born on Oct. 21, 1887, near tne Village of Armour, in the northern portion of Limestone County, Tex where her father was then farming. In the fall of 1889, cerbro-spinal meningitis, with spotted fever accompaniment, became epidemic in the neighborhood of the Rice farnlly. Ruby, her father and two brothers were stricken. The father and one of the sons died. Little Ruby lingered between life and death for five weeks, when she began a slow recovery. At the end of three months she could sit up and from that time on she had to learn anew to walk, just as she learned in her early babyhood. Her illness left her totally blind and deaf, and has never since been able to articulate. In spite of her great misfortune, Ruby is a bright, intelligent and pretty child. When the writer called Ruby and another little girl were seated on the floor before the fire, eating pecans. Although unabie to see or hear she, by some means ed to know that a stranger was in the house and began at once to find him. Llaving located the visitor she grasped his hand in welcome, then reaching out for her brother and sister she drew their hands to his, indicating that they should shake hands with the stranger In a little while her mother entered the room, when-the girl went through the same maneuver, placing her mother’s hand in that of the. visitor. She 1s almost entirely self-taught. Her mother does what she can to heip the little one, but most of the advancement is to the child's Intelligent use of her marvel. ously developed sense of touch. When the scribe rose to go Ruby, though standing several feet away, seemed to know what he was doing and ran to the bed, got his hat and cane and brought them to him. She rarely hurts herself by running against an object, although she moves about house almost a6 rapidly as a child who can she seem due tne see, Her sister handed her a needie and spool of thread. The child put both the end of the thread and the eye of the needle in her mouth and taking them out again quickly passed the thread through the needle’s eye. She seemed to locate the eye of the needle with her tongue. As Is the « with most blind persons, Ruby's sense of touch Is re- markably acute. Her fingers are ft and slender, with a pecul.ar velvety feeling, and they serve for her eye as Well as fingers Her sense of smell ia also very keen. Ruby seems to be as fond of dolis as the average little girl and displays wonderful phiens in eutting and making dresses, aprons, ete., for her mimic | She of inspecting the trimming of cut of the dresses af lady vis-tors, shows at Ingenuity In so cUulting and trimming ~ dolls’ wardrobe.

Ruby dscover.d what was going on, and concluded that®):., (oo, would like to pick cotton, so some tlire during the night she got up and hinted about until she found a piece of fuekirg about tWo yards jong, which her meiher had put away in a trunk. Tak'ng this ite child went to the sewing machive and soen had it made up intoa bag. 5S’ annot pcx cotton very fast, but she picks it quite clean, her mother say tuby’s accomplishments do no* atop «t plain sewing by any means. After cutt ns: and sewing her dolls’ clothes she avo cuts and works the buttonholes and sews on the buttons, for the most part, self taught in these mantpuletions, She keeps her own clothes in her own trunk ard does not allow any one else to put anything in it. Not long since her sister put some aprons in Ruby's trunk,gut they were soon d‘scovered by the l'ttle mivrs and we.e sum. marily cast out upon the floor. Ruby. wiitle affectionate and amieble in dieposition, is by no means devoid of temper. When things don't go to sult her she will slap the offender and then run away. Though rather small and slender for her age, Ruby has enjoyed good health s'nce. she went through the fearful ordeal which depnived her of sight, hearing and speech, and has a good appetite usually. She has a carte blanche on the safe, and draws upon it at intervals between meals. She is especially fond of frults and vegetables. Besides her doll, she has a cat, of which she is quite fond, and she also loves to play with chickens. Not long since she got up in the night when all the rest of the fam'ly were asleep and went to the fowl- house, where she found a hen that was de- elrous of getting. Ruby procured a box, in which she fixed up a nest of straw and gathering up all the eggs she could find, some three or four dozen, she set the hen up in business, placing the box upon the sewing machine, where her mother found ig next morning. She often goes Into the fowl-house—al- Ways at night—and catches chickens, which she puts into a coop. Next day, after amus ing herseif with them a while, she turns them out. The chickens do not seem to be afraid of her, and let her fondle them with apparent pleasure. If any one else turns out chickens that she puts up she cries about it. As may be supposed, litle Ruby is very much humored, and as far as posal. ble, she is allowed to do just as she pieases and amuse herself as sults her best, lier affectionate disposition is strongly manifested in-her fondness for babies and love for her playmates. The little children in the village all love her and seem to make her understand a great many things which would appear to be beyond the comprehen- sion of one in her condition. Her sociable nature makes the companionship of children a source of great pleasure, which she shows in many ways. Having been deprived of her sight and hearing at so tender an age it is probable that little Ruby does not real- ize her great loss and her life, let us hope, may be one of serenity and calm enjoy- mest. e ¢ '* ‘ii A TOM THUMB WEDDING IN TEXAS.

The number of yellow fever cases in the South this year was only 13.10 per cent ir excess of the number of typhoid fever c#ses in St. Louis in 1892. The rate of deaths In St. Louts from ty- phoid fever in 1892, accordiag to the census of 189), Was one,%o every 878 inhabitants. The rate from yellow fever in New Orleans in. 1897 was one to every 910 population, In Chicago in 1892 there were 1,489 deaths from typhoid fever—nearly six times the number that died from yellow fever in New Orleans fm 1897. In 1893 there were 1,997 deaths from typhoid fever in Chicago—more than seven times,the number of deaths from vellaw fever in New Orleans this year. In New York City, during the decade from 1882 to 1892, there was an average of 366 deaths annually from typho!d fever—103 more each year than died from yellow fever in New Orleans in 1897. In Philadelphia in 1892 there were 137 deaths from typhoid fever; tn Cincinnati in 1896, 164. These figures, which are official, are plainly in favor of New Orleans and the South. They afford a deadly parallel which cannot fa’l to impress thoughtful people, The only wonder is that a comparison has never been made before now. It is Fear, and not Death, that works harm to the people of the South, just as set forth in the old Spanish story of Death and the Hermit. It !s Fear that kills. Death {s not the monster he js reputed to be. Did the people fly from St. Louis in 1892, when 514 persons died of malignant d'sease within two or three months? Did they fly from Chicago during the same year, whet 1,489 people died? Most certainiyynot. They kept right on about their business. There may have been a feeling of anxiety and in- security, but it did not create a panic, nor did it affect the public welfare. The Health Department did its best work and kept the Death Has Slain Thousands; Fear His Tens Thousands. 8.62 cases then In existence isolated, nearly as possible, so that the danger contagion was minimized. The great pt lic, perceiving this fact, went quietly on way, and though where 878 people were : sembled Death stepped In and smote one them, there was no widespread scare a the city’s reputation as to health was 1 made to suffer. Yellow fever is the great bugaboo of | South, and to that section ft has wroug great harm, because of the element of f« which has always accompanied it. itself it is no more deadly than typhi fever and other malignant diseases whi play havoc with humanity when they ha an opportunity. As here shown, its rs ages are not as great, under ordinary ¢ cumstances, as those of typhoid fever. One explanation of this state of affa may be that people become used to typhi fever and so are inclined te overlook deadly qualities. It works steadily, t never overtime, and In the course of a y¢ . makes a fearful record. But {t never t comes a wholesale epidemic, and for t) reason creates no widespread alarm.

Even at that time the latter was in corre- spondence with Dr. Howard, who was des- tined to change the course of the lives of FO many. In May, 1889, Dr. Nidelet and Col. Price mysteriously disappeared from St. Louis, Their closest business associates knew noth- ing of their whereabouts. Only two persons in Missouri! knew gtheir whereabouts—Quintus Price and Mrs, Specht. Dr. Nidelet had martgaged some property for $5,000 and Col. Price had dis- posed of his estate. In 189 Mr. Specht received a letter from Dr. Nidelet, saying that he was in Ogdens- burg, N. Y., practicing me In the meantime-Col. Price had passed his novitiate and advanced in knowl- edge of the occult. He was promoted herald of the Royal Oriental Ordor of the Anclent Mysteries, and commanded to go forth and preach. 2 In May, 1891, he suddenly appeared-in St. Louls, as mysteriously as he had departed. He refused to discuss his movements dur- ing his absence. Though poor he was cheer- ful.

The lecture proved to be incoherent, and as the herald of a new religion Col, Price was a failure. Accompanying Col. Price was a stranger of fine appearance and singularly attractive person. This was Dr. Granby Staunton Howard. He appeared to’ be a well-pre- served man of 4 years, but he confessed to three score. He was 6 feet 2 Inches in height and weighed 200 pounds. His face was cov- ered by an firon-gray beard, trimmed to a point. ‘His hair, long and wavy, was combed back in the fashion affected by poets and men of mystery. He could have given cards and spades to any of Bulwer Lytton’'s won- derful heroes. By slow degrees he permitted the facts concerning his personality to permeate the minds of his gaping worshipers. Descended— he claimed—from the Howards of Norfolk, he was one of the thirty barons of England by right. His mother was a Hindoo begum and from her he claimed the title of Prince ya. He had been a member of Parliament, had commanded seven- teenth Lancers and had served in the Sepoy rebellion in India. He had been a ‘fal Queen's commissioner to the Confederate States of America, in 1861, and was a mem- ber of the Royal Yacht Club. He had taken all the degrees of. Masonry in Great Britain, the Canada and the United States, to say noth- ing of several scores of degrees in India. He had trotted across this country in the suite of the Princeof Wales, and was a welcome guest at Balmoral and Windsor Castle. His Northumberland estate covered 20,000 acres, He had sunk millions in MaximilNan’s Mexe ican bonds, and had a crown grant in Can- ada as big as aijprincipality. As to orders and decorations,"he had them all. In fact, there seemed to be nothing on earth in which he did not have a hand. He was the real thing. jut these things were as dross to the great Howard. They were of the earth earthy. It was ag a mystic that he dealt the cards from the bottom of the deck. A class of eighteen ladies of St. Louis was organized to sit at his feet and learn the truth. To none of them could the full truth be revealed at once. It must come by degrees. The awful effulgence of a full revelation would have produced paralysis or death. So 62°.d the doctor, who finally announced his full title as the Sage of Aru As such he clamed supernatural powers, was in constant communication with certain beneficent spirits, who closely guarded welfare. He could call up spirits from the vasty deep or the River Des Peres with equal facility. He was haunted by evil spirits, who sought to over- throw his great projects. He was on !n- timate terms with the angel Gabriel. His Tle hig dog was possessed of a devil. He com- muned with the stars and cast horoscopes several times a day. He was the reincar- nation of Rameses III. He could see spir- its around him just as easily as Von der Ahe’s catcher can see a high fly in the right field. Ha knew more than the man who wrote the dictionary and had forgot- tune more knowledge than is contained in an encyclopedia, He was the Grand Spon- sor of the Occidental Branch of the Orient- al Order of the Sat Bai Kooha, which had its habitat in the Himalayan Mountains, and was very mysterious and dreadful. The chelas or students of the order could only be admitted after years of hardship, pov- erty and deprivation. By h’s followers he was addressed as “‘Dear Master” and ‘!Dear Lord.’”’ He claimed to be the legitimate successor of Jesus Christ and Prince Sid- dartha. He was, in fact, the reincarnation of both Christ and Buddha, Such was the character of the man who appeared in St, Louis and wound his toils around the wealthy persons who were des- tined to rue the day they met him. It was at Howard's request that Mr. Specht purchased the magnificent old man- or Known as Gunston Hall, in Virginia. It was to be used for the purpose of found- ing a permanent home for the order in America, where the chelas could be edu- cated tn the principles of the new religion. The Famous was burned tn November, 1891, and goon after that Mr. Specht sold out ST MR. JOSEPH SPECHT his interest In the concern, which he had established, for he thad already conter- plated going East to enjoy the million or more he had accumulated, Consequently, while he was not overstocked with faith in Howard, he was induced to buy the Vir- ginia property through the influence of his wife, who believed in the doctor, heart and soul. Once safely installed in their new Vir- ginia home, the troubles of the Spechts commenced, That their fortune was not entirely wrecked was due to the presence of their son, Joseph Specht, who for a time was a dellever Ip Howard's doctrines. Young Specht had been wild and was credited with having sown his wild oats with a drill, the ordinary hand method being too slow. But his worldly knowledge stooa him in good stead before his struggle with Howard was at an end. The connection of Howard with the Spechts makes a long story. The manner in which he “worked” them {ts thrilling— almost incredible. One of his first move- ments was to secure $5,000 in cash. After that funds were easy, until Mr. Specht and his son had their suspicions aroused by circumstances which were plain to persons not blinded by thelr faith tn the artful doctor. The amount obtained by him through his influence over Mrs. Specht may never be known, but it was vast. She willed her entire fortune, tncluding Gunst Hall, worth $75,000, to Dr. Howard. § devoted her entire HUfe to the ca represented, On this account her fag was for a time disrupted. Joseph, the sf left home in disgust, without a cecht, a was afterward discovered working sixtes hours a day in a Baltimore restaurant fa $7 2 week. ~ i Finally, in desperation, in 18M, Mr. Spec | and his son Joseph went to Howard's her | determined to put an end to the long bitt ness. Howard received them aitting on sofa, with a rifle on one side and a sh gun on the other. Howard, it ‘6 said, h tried to convince Mrs, Specht that her ht band was insane. Mr. Specht demanded explanation of many things which Wot have been embarrassing to a man of kt self assurance than Howard.

TAAT HIS FACE T0 sRT has been gixteen years. MOWERY on an idea Since 188] he has s3. his mistre: lt OBI cate j for and idea. was an incomp-ete His ambition was to round and finish it. Often he was hungry and stayed his stomach with thought of the idea, Often he was cold and forgot pain through sorption in his idea. He had no dreams or hopes in which his idea was not the center. After.sixteen yoarsa of study and experi- ment Mr. Mowery has perfected an instru- ment which he feels confident and which men who should know ass. him fills a distinct want and will place him and his family beyond the possibility of hunger. He calls -his invention a telluriam, ‘“‘More accurately,” he explains, “it is a lunar and terrestrial telluriam.” If his visitor is still torn by doubts, he says: “It is an in- strument to illustrate the motions of the earth.””’ That makes it plain. In the winter of 1881 Mr. Mowery was teaching a country school in Sarpy County, Nebraska. He had one pupil, a boy, who had a terrible way of asking questions and demanding reasons, One day the class was being instructed in some of the effects of the earth’s motions. The teacher had just finished explaining the six months’ day and the six months night at the poles. The boy was interested. “Why is it day six months and night six months?’’ he asked. Mr. Mowery explained more carefully how it w: He told as clearly as he could how the long night and the long day were caused by the changing positions of those parts of the earth with relation to tne pun. e “But why?” asked the boy, The glode and the were used. ab- re iS. Still maps intoxi- made it his master A — STRUGGLE no light entered the boy’s understanding. The teacher saw that an instrument was needed which would convey 4 better idea of the motions of the earth. He thought he knew what was needed and it could easily be made. The same afternoon he tried to fashion 4 crude model which would heip the boy out of his difficulty. That was sixteen years ago. Mr. Mowery finished the instrument last week, The boy who wanted to know why now has boys of his own who ask questions. Mr. Mowery’s instrument may help them to understand the six months day and the six months night. Mr. Mowery continued to teach school in Sarpy County two years. All his spare time he devoted to the telluriam, wh'ch had taken sufficiently definite shape in his mind to admit of being named. New perplexities arose at every step, but the more difficult his task grew the more fascinating it became and he thought or talked about little else, His wife at first took no stock in his idea. She was like the boy. She didn’t understand. She had a suspicion that Mr, Mowery had some astronomical wheels in his head. Finaily she saw the point of it all and shared his anxieties and his disappoint- ments. He quit teaching school and went back to his trade of carpenter, because that gave him greater opportunities for experi- menting. .In 1885 he removed with his fam- ily to Hot Springs, Ark., and continued to work at his trade when he was not working at his idea. He divided his time about equally be- RESULT OF MOWERY’S SIXTEHin YEARS’ WORK.

The instrument also shows the relative position and distance of the earth and sun every day in the year dnd the causes of eclipses. Inside the ellipse the changes of seasons and the different zones are represented Pictorially. -_-— STOVE tween them. He would much rather have worked all the time at his idea, which had become his mistress and his master, but his trade brought larger direct returns, With his inventor's zeal he might have taught his stomach to abate its clamorings, but his fam- ily insisted upon eating at regular intervals and do- ing other expensive things just like other people. Mowery loved his family almost as strongly as his idea, He could not see them suffer. So he would work at his trade until h¢ faved up some money and then he would hammer away at his idea. His neighbors eaid he wae shiftless and would be poor all hig life. They did not understand. Mowery did not try to make them under- stand. He was content vait. He was moreover jealous of his mistress, his idea, He guarded it from the gaze of the curious, Many times he thought he had swept aside the last obstacle to fame and fortune, only to find another lack which had to De overcome. Despair selzed him more than once. Sev- eral times he thrust his idea from him rudely and turned his thoughts resolutely to practical things. But the idea always pursued him and wooed him and it always ended the same way. He went back to his mistress and was more devoted than ever, Step by step the details. were worked out. His coquettish mistress still withhetd from him one secret. That was how to control the inclination of the earth’s axis. He had tried a spiral, but it would not do.

Miller was confined in the lower of three tiers of cells, the top cell, reaching to the third story of the building. One wall of the cage rests against the granite of the outer wall of the prison. This wall has @ space in its center twelve inches wide, which is filled with brick. On the opposite side of the brick is another wall of granite, The wall is, In fact, two walis of granite, with this brick Interior placed between the stone for the purpose of absorbing the mols- ture and rendering the prison more comfor- table. Miller heard through a prisoner who had worked on the cell-house of this peculiar construction. The prisoner related it as an explanation why the stone walls were not always wet. Miller set to work to story, make an entrance into the brick partition, § This was the work of two months, as the cement in the firet granite wall had to be dug out with very crude tools. He used & small piece of wire, an old knife and other smal! bits of iron which he picked up from time to time In the yards of the prison. After many days of patient labor the con- viet was able to remove a large stone and reach the loose brick.

A NEW DEVICE. -_— ¢ —— St. Louisan Outlines a Very Novel Scheme He Has Imagined. GREAT SPEED IS POSSIBLE, D. CRAWFORD of No. 8007 Atlantie street read in the papers that bicycle ° builders were trying devices for keeping the wheel from toppling over. Then he read about some airship experiments, An idea was suggested to him. Why not solve both problems by combining the bike and the ship? He is not sure that the plan is practicable, but he gives ft here for what it is worth To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. F A MACHINE constructed on the bal- loon principle is ever successful in aerial navigation it will be a swimming, not a flying machine, The relation of a balloon to air is the same as that of a fish to water—each floats in its own element. Air and water resistance are the same in principle, though not in degree. Nature has furnished the water fish with a contour for overcgming water resistance. Following the teaching of nature, the con- tour of the balloon, or airfish, should cor- respond with that of the water fish, Nature has endowed the water fish with a locomo- tion that enables it to paddle its own canoe, but the only endowment the balloon fish has is the power to lift. This lifting power can carry a man up to the clouds, but a man in the clouds is a lever without a fulcrum. To utilize this floating or lifting power the bal. loon must be held down where a man can get a foothold. Now, a bicycle ts everlastingly wanting to topple over and a balloon is eternally want- ing to go up. Reasoning along this line, It seems plausible that a wheel and balloon combination should prove mutually helpful— the wheel holding the balloon down and the balloon holding the wheel up. Let us harness them together and see. A single wheel five feet in diameter in @ frame with the saddle about twelve inches above wheel. Immediately In front and about twelve inches above saddle are the handle bars. Secured to handle bars is an upright, on top of which fs @ balloon of 100 pounds lifting capacity. The balloon turns with handle bars and operates as a rudder for steering.

Principal among the women are Miss Annie Irish and Miss Percy Haswell, both of whom are well- known leading women. Miss Irish came to this country with the Kendals during the last American tour of those artists, and was so favorably received that Charles Frohman induced her to remainrhere, In ‘A Virginia Courtship” she is Been as a dashing French widow of many Yovable and engaging traits and the possessor of a shrewd head for business. Miss Haswel] has been a member of Mr. Daly’s company in New York for six years, during which time she was Miss Rehan’s understudy. The leading men are Walter Hale a1 Boyd Putnam. Among the others in the urganiza- tion are. Miss Kate Lester, Miss Frances Stevens, Miss-#ouise Closser. Veillam Boag, Percy Brooke, Vincent Serano, Geo, F. DeVere, Charles F, Gotthold and William E. Butterfield. Crane’s previous pro- have been notable for their taste and ef- fectiveness, but it is promised that the production of “A Vir- ginia Courtship” will exceed in point of beauty and »pictur- esqueness any pre- viously given by the actor. There are two intenors shown and one exterior scena, the latter being laid at Lovers’ Gate, a massive affair that separates two planta- tions. The costumes are of the Georgian period and were de- signed by A. M. Bradley. In the play Mr. Crane will be seen as Maj.

All through the performance the ‘ voice of one of the actors seemed to have a familiar ring to it, and I wondered who he ‘was. I was beginning to get angry with my. self for not remembering, when it suddenly dawned upon me that he was the leading juvenile man of Ben De Bar’s company in St. Louls twenty-five years ago.

IVING in a time when women have stepped out of the old century-worn rut and are standing shoulder to shoulder with their brother man, achieving success in every department in life, it is not strange that the old-fashioned methods of courting have disappeared with old-fashioned methods of weaving and spinning. Nor should these changes disturb the serenity of any individual. The growth is in harmony with the age. We cannot return to the spinning wheel and distaff of our grandmothers. Why should we clothe ourselves with their customs, their traditions? There is an almost imperceptible education going on in regard to the methods of eourtship and marriage. Women have learned that financial dependence upon man is the keynote of their subjugation. The number who earn is constantly increasing; hence, the word “obey” is being dropped from the marriage service or pronounced with distinct mental reservations by the bride. Are we retrograding? With all our laxity of training and almost total lack of sur- veillance over our girls as compared with the methods and surveillance of the paet, I am inclined to believe that we are farin advance of our granddames. Carefully reared according to the rigid methods of the old regime, a girl was not permitted to become acquainted to any degree of familiarity or manifestation of fondness with her future husband. But withal in the old days ignorance was confounded with in- nocence, and the virtue that was kept under lock and key too often proved epurious when restrictions were removed. That lamentable laxity of the marriage relation prevails to-day is undeniable, but it is due to the prevailing economic conditions which have made existence a brute struggle for the many rather than to any Change in manners and customs pertaining to courtship and marriage. Women are becoming more particular as to whom they marry. ducation and an income, a woman cannot possibly remain in the prostrate and humbly obedient attitude of the for a home or was disposed of with disgrace of having Having e woman who is compelled to marry a dowry by her parents to avoid the fancied an old maid in the family, The old idea of courtship and marriage we was an appendage and h if single, or, if marr which women are p re based on the theory that a woman ad no social or property rights outside of her male relatives, ed, her husband.

In those days, which we are always told were such good ones, there was a prescribed form of courtship which every man followed when he sought a wife. It was the custom for a young man, first of all, to ask permission from the father of his adored one to address that young lady, or “to pay court to her.”’ ) After months of more or less painful courtship, during which the humble aspirant was critically looked over from every point of view by the girl’s mother and father, he was finally permitted to see the object of his affections alone. In- variably the adolescent fell upon his knees, poured forth hisdove in set phrases and begged his beautiful Belinda to be- come his bride. Without an exception the novels of the day tell the same story of love-making of one hundred years ago. The romantic pictures of the same period never fail to show the suitor on his knees, humbly pleading with the object of his adoration, Now, in this year of grace, 1897, how is the courting done? Forms have changed in many of life’s relations. How does the modern love story approach the climax? Marquise Lanza. who in spite of her foreign title is an American wom- an, Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease of Kansas and Dr. Chauncey M. Depew answer as follows: BY THE MARQUISE LANZA. @ OURTSHIP in the present day is largely a matter of business, if we may judge by externals, inasmuch as it Is To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. rarely given over to the expression of emotions, either simple or complex. Even in the lower walks of life the exhibition of sentiment appears to be on the wane and courtship reduces itself to a mere form that custom has rendered a necessary preliminary to the marriage service. This is not the fault of human nature. It is the fault of the age in which we live—an age where artificiality has usurped simplicity. A modern courtship is adorned with as many formalities as is the obelisk with hieroglyphics. After the engage- ment is announced the previous relations existing between the lovers undergo but little change. Unrestricted meetings would not be tolerated in well regulated families. The bride-tlect may not go out alone with her betrothed. A chap- eron is indispensable. Indeed, rarely are the pair left in each other's society. Were the conditions otherwise, it Is doubtful whether the youth of this generation would be apt to take advantage of the situation. It is understood. that well-bred people do not indulge in familarities and that lovers, no matter how sincere their mutual. passion: may be, are not expected to express it. To display affection is vulgar, in the minds of our end-of-the century young men and maidens and we see engaged couples in public looking extremely bored with each other, while in private they exchange platitudes with a really praiseworthy zeal. As I write this, I have in mind the spectacle of a fashionable couple, but recently engaged, whom it was my good fortune to observe last summer at a popular resort. One evening—a delicious evening, filled with perfume and moonlight and the spangles of starlit water—the young girl, yielding to a momentary thrill of rapture of the kind that in days of yore would have caused her lover’s heart to thump riotously against his dress-coat, remarked: , “Look, Harry! Did you ever see anything more exquisite than that track of moonbeams across the water?” ‘Very pretty,” assented Harry, lazily. Then after a pregnant pause: “Have you noticed,” said he, “that we haven’t had corned-beef hash for breakfast once this week?” All this, I fancy, springs from the influx of foreign ideas and customs, which little by little has invaded our newer civilization. Among the higher classes of European society courtship, as we understand the word, does not exist. There is no more romance about it than there is about a barrister’s brief. We have come to be a nation of travelers and what we do not pick up abroad and bring home we import. In our grandmother's days nobody Domesticity was a goddess and love was a king. . The lovers were allowed the greatest liberty and they did not scruple to Jet their friends see that they reveled in their happiness. They walked in the woods In the dawn of spring or in the dying summer. They had the “back par- lor” to themselves: the children were bidden to remain in the background, While the “olq folks” seldom intruded. The contrast between the system of courtship as it existed a hundred, or even fifty years ago, and that of the present day, is a marked one. It is not that romantic love between the sexes is dying out with the rapid march of progress, but that comparatively few people now marry for love and when they do, they appear to take the greatest pains to conceal the fact. Here a pale vision arises of a silver-hatred old lady, long since gone to her graye—an old cheeks and blue eyes, who once showed me some beautifully written verses anq &@ lock of hair, which her husband had presented to her during their courtship. TI recall with what ‘mingled feelings of awe and admiration—I was very young at the time—I regarded these relics, carefully preserved in a box of fragrant Wood. The poetry was “original” and began something like this: : traveled. lady with apple-blossom Sweet Emma, when I dream of thee, Thy spirit sheds a light on me. Not very elevated, from a purely poetical Standpoint, but sincerity was breathed {in ev was a soft brown ringlet that still bore traces of having once been anointed with be precious was it to its possessor on that account.

ILLIAM CARROLL WOODWARD, alias “Big Hawley,’’ one of the best known gamblers in the world, was at one time a reporter for the old St. Louis News. That was seven- teen years ago. The paper was then edited by ‘Mr. George Mills. City Editor George Eddy soon discovered that the remarkable romances turned in by Woodward were by no means founded on fact, and that his gources of information were, to say the least, questionable. Woodward did not long remain on the staff of the News. He was then only 20 years old. He was born in Memphis, Tenn., and came of a prominent family, Both his father and his grandfather, it is said, were Supreme Judges of the State of Tennessee. He was reared in luxury. In schoo! he stood always at the head of his aon. He was naturally brilliant. He was graceful dancer, and women adored him. even before he had at- tained his majority. His sweetheart was Helen Dauvray, In the fall of 188 counterfeit $% gold ieces were freely circulated in St. Louis. hey were made of 5-cent pieces, carefully gilded. United States secret service men were put on the case. Woodward was be- trayed by his accomplices, and hastened to- ward Chicago on a Chicago & Alton tra‘n. The detectives followed and captured him at Alton. He was handcuffed and put aboard a train, to be tdken back to 5t. Louis for examination before the United States District Court. As the train ap- proached the Eads bridge the detectives were sitting in the rear, sat'sfied that their handcuffed prisoner was secure. In gepite of his chains, Woodward rushed to the door and, when the train was in the middle of the bridge approach, he made a flying leap on the trestle, a distance of forty feet, and eacaped. Before the detectives could reach the door the train had gained rapid headway. Had they jumped after their prisoner, they would undoubtedly have been killed. “Billy’’ Woodward, as “‘Big Hawley” was then called, made his way to a blacksmith’s shop, where he persuaded the «mith to strike off his shackles. He then hurried to the river bank, stole a skiff below East St. Louis, and escaped by way of the Mis- Sissippi. In 1883 Woodward's old sweetheart, Helen id jj, Whe UY, wy fa 4 a “Ye, .' oe " UN. 4, 6 i ~ WES y ’ ‘ek NN wa EQ NY RUGS.

At this time Miss Dauvray was one | & of the most beautiful girls in Memphis, a/| city famous for handsome women, She was a superb type of Spanish beauty. Both Wil- liamson and his wife were r:ch, and their ‘future was most promising. But the husband took to gambling, and in & few years he had dissipated his own fortune and that of his wite. W lliamson became a bookmaker and race-track hang- er-on. He sank lower and lower, and she secured a divorce, . Soon aiter this divorce Woodward paid a stealthy visit to Memphis. He saw his old-love and persuaded her to again join her lot with h's. In 189 counterfeit $20 bills were circulated in Memphis. Secret service agents followed Mrs. Woodward to Her- nando, Miss., and she confessed that her husband was guiity of the crime. He was arrested in Canada but escaped convytion Although Mrs. Woodward pledged her word to the secret service men who ar- rested her in Hernando never to live wth Woodward again, she broke her promise She has often been seen on the streets of New York with “Big Hawley.” eg A few days ago Woodward was arrested in New York on a charge of blackmai!

HE announcement that the Countess of T Warwick, better known both in Eng- lish and American society as Lady Brooke, most England, has become deeply religious, can- not fail to lead to certain reflections: A man’s life may. be summed up in seven parts; a woman’s existence, according to the beautiful woman in an ola French wiseacre, consists of three phases: First, the” co- quette; third,-the religious enthusiast. the prude; second, The latest news concerning the Countess * of Warwick seems to justify the cynical epigram of. the satirist.

In 1891, according to all records of fact, Lady Brooke attained a notoriety which * made her the theme for unpleasant gossip far and near. It waa, she who sprung the Tranby Croft mine and brought about the great baccarat scandal in which the Prince of Wales was shown up far and near as an and Sir William Gordon Cummings was publicly disgraced.

M4 hy Dy, COUNTESS Ky se A Vig he if fh A a ~~ " Ay fA 4 7 of Wales had confidentially told Lady Brooke of the affair, and that Lady Brooke had long been wishing to revenge hereelf upon Sir Gordon Cummings, who had failed properly to appreciate a certain penchant the lady had evinced for him. Accordingly one evening little time after the Tranby Croft episode, when Lady Brooke met Sir Gordon Cummings at an evening function, she asked him with character- istis frankness: ‘“‘Are you more successful in love than at cards these days?’ Then she told it to her friends and they told it to their friends. When these facts long before the trial had some became known, resulted in the utter disgrace of a brilliant officer, Lady Brooke, far and wide was ac- corded the title of ‘‘the Babbling Brooke.” The Prince’s devotion to the charming Countess has been a matter of public com- and the cause of many his wife, the Princes; ment for years, heartburnings to Alexandra. asserted herself in such a manner that the gay Prince saw it would be well to have a care.

As a matter of fact she did not consent to re- After years of forbearance she ~ OF WARWICK, LADY BROOKE. turn to England until she was officially in- formed that the Prince had sent his re- grets to the Countess of Warwick. And now the news is received that Lady Brooke, the ‘“‘Babbling Brooke” of the great baccarat scandal, the woman who has been more gossiped about than any other in Lon- don, has resolved to devote the remainder of her life to works of piety and phil- anthropy. In other words and in our own vernacular, she has “got rel'gion.”’ Lady Brooke is as clever as she is beau- tiful. It has been whispered in England many and many a time that were it not for fear of the great influence of this one the Queen would gladly abdicate the throne to her son, woman over the future King, As Frances Evelyn Maynard, the daughter of Col. Maynard, the Countess was one of the richest heiresses in England. When she was presented to Queen Victoria in 1879 the sovereign declared her to be faultlessly beautiful. In 1881 she declined the honor of becoming a member of the royal family by an alliance with Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, and accepted the hand of Lord Brooke, of Warwick. Later the Earl died and his title descended but his wife is better known a son of the. Earl to the son, as Lady. Brooke, than as the Countess of Warwick. MAINLET Oo FIRST SWEETHEART TELLS OF THEIR EARLY ROMANCE. DS, I suppose it is true that I was Mr. McKinley's first sweetheart. oy At any rate, he was my first lover, -and we would have been married but for my parents’ opposition,” The speaker was Mrs, Lydia M. Moug of Big Rapids, Mich., who at last consented to tell the story of the early romantic love passages between herseif and the man who is now President of the United States. _, it has long been known in its outline the story of the thwarted affection of young McKinley and the beautiful Lydia Wadsworth, away back In their golden youth in Ohlo, when no one dreamed that the ambitious but penniless young man, with the dreamer’s forehead, but the fine eye of resolution, would become a great Statesman and executive. If people had guessed it John and Lydia Wadsworth might not have refused the young man the hand of their daughter. They lived in Poland, O., the Wadsworths, father, mother and four children. “Little Lydia,” as they called her, was then 16 years of age and very pretty. She had plenty of admirers, for courtship began early in the Middle West in those days, and a girl of 16 was expected to “keep com- pany” with some young fellow. Of them ail she favored but one, a manly, energetia lad, who wooed like a Napoleon and won, but met his Waterloo at the hands of the old people. For McKinley was poor. He had his way to make in the world, and to the shrewd eye of John Wadsworth he did not appear like a man calculated to make money. In this judgment Wadsworth was probably correct, but there are other ways of suc. ceeding than by becoming rich. So Wadeworth forbade “Little Lydia” to meet McKinley, with the usual result, Clandestine meetings followed, and whi:- pers of a possible elopement were wafted to the old folks’ ears, and they resolved upon stern measures. There was in Poland a young man named Moug, who had persistently wooed the fair Lydia. He was a few years older than McKinley and bade fair to be @ prosperous man. His suit the parents favored. One day they told Lydia that she must marry Moug. There was a stormy acene. The girl swore she would have the man of her choice or none, but In the end she yielded. She prom.sed, and from that mo- ment her parents knew their case was won, he was too honorable to go philandering her cdiag age man other than the’ one to MRS LYDIA M. MOUG, THE FIRST LOVE OF THE PRESIDENT, whom she was pledged, and McKinley was ‘oo proud to tempt her further. So she married Moug, who has been to her all that her parents anticipated. She resolved to forget her jover. She returned or burned all the little foolish tokens that could remind her of his bright face.

THEY WERE FOR. CHARITY. She Enjoys the Pictures of Herself in Her Jubilee Parade, as Shown in the Cinematograph. LONDON, Nov. 27.—Queen Victoria gave a birthday party at on Tuesday . for Prince Battenberg, aged 3 years, the eldest son of Princess Beatrice, widow of Prince Henry of Battenberg. For his birthday her majes- ty summoned the manager of the Empire Theater to produce the cinematograph pict- ures and troops of performing dogs, now showing in London. The pictures were dis- played in the large drawing-room of the castle. The Queen, Princess Beatrice and the rest of the court, es well as the children, were hugely delighted. The Queen seemed to enjoy immensely the pictures of herself in the “Jubilee Procession,” and after the entertainment was over she caused Man- 'ager Hitchings of the Empire Theater to be presented to her, A barrel of money has been gathered at the Windsor Bazaar in aid of the Royal Albert Institution, opened by Princes Christian on Tuesday last. The Princess presided at two stalls, selling photographs of Queen Victoria, signed by Her Majesty, at a guinea each. The whole stock was sold in a few minutes. Thereupon the Princess remarked: “I do not see why we should not petition mamma for sOme more,” A messenger was then dispatched to the castle and the Queen suppi.ed more signed photographs of herself. Her Majesty con- tinued doing so during the three days which the bazaar lasted, and even then the demand for her photographs was not satisfied. Queen Victoria has also been busy at a family council, which has been discussing the affairs of the family of the late Duchess of Teck, at which the Duke of Teck and his children, including Prince and Princess Adolphus of Teck, were present. Jewelry of considerable historical value goes to the Duchess of York, the daughter of the Duke, Queen Victoria substantially compensating the other members of the family. The white lodge at Richmond, hitherto the rest- dence of the Duke and Duchess of Teck, has been granted to the Duke and Duchess of York. The future of the Duke of Teck has not been settled upon. It is rumored that a parliamentary grant will be sought, but this is not likely to be obtained, as this would be most distasteful to the peo- ple generally and the House of Commons after the promises made, after the settle- ment of the Prince of Wales’ children, that no further money would be asked for in behalf of the royal family. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone crossed the chan- nel on Friday on their way to Cannes, where they will arrive on Sunday. They were greeted by crowds on leaving London, and on their arrival at Folkestone. Dr. Hapershone, Mr. Gladstone’s family physi- cian, reports that the general health of the there 1s every prospect of his neuralgic pains disappearing in a milder climate. Dr. Nettleship says the distinguished patient's eyes are in good condition and not affected by his neuralgia. The touchiness of Literature had two vol- ecanic disturbances during the week. Swin- burne, the poet, having been named in the Academy as one of a selected forty to form an English academy of immortals, wrote a furious letter to the Times, saying: “The notion of an English academy is too seriously stupid for a farce and too essen- tially vulgar for a comedy.” In conclusion Mr. Swinburne remarked: “It seems to me that the full and proper definition of so preposterous an imper- tinence' must be left to other than the bearer of a name selected for the adulation of such an insult.’’ Sarah Grandin’s latest work is caustically criticised and the authoress of ‘“‘The Heav- enly Twins’ has written a letter to the Daily Telegraph’s book reviewer, couched in, the most stringent terms.

That you should take upon yourself to be a seri- ous judge of art is a crime for which it is painful to think you must one day settle between you and your God.

The doubts raised as to-whether an En- glish aristocrat was permitted to marry an Indian have been dispelled by the an- nouncement that Lady Ann Coventry and Prince Dhuleep Singh are to be married on Dec. 29. The Coventrys are opposed to the union, but their objections have been Overruled and the Indian Government has agreed to settle upon the bride the sum of £2,000 ($10,000) annually.

AAAAAARAAARARAAARAAAAAAAA : . i YELLOW FEVER WAS LIGHT. Dr. William Marechal of Mobile Is Resting in St. Louis. William Marechal of Mobile, Ala., Louls Saturday to take a Dr. arrived in St. week's rest. During the yellow fever epidemic in Mobile Dr. Marechal was harder worked than any of the other physicians. ‘‘While it was genine yellow fever,’’ said Dr. Marechal, ‘‘yet it was not of a severe type. There was dengue fever in plenty, and many victims of it thought they had yellow fever. ¥ ‘All through the South this visitation of yellow fever was about the lightest ever known. The percentage of deaths to cases was not as large 4s it would have been in an equal number of typhoid fever cases, but so many people were sick that the physicians almost Worked themselves to death answering the calls made upon them. “Tt is a mistake to suppose physicians reap a harvest of dollars during yellow fever epidernics. In Mobile nearly every- body who had the means to do so left town, and only the poor people were left. For every yellow fever patient for which a dollar was paid he had to treat ninety-nine for nothing.’’ MISS STEIN THE SOLOIST. . Dvorak’s Songs and Beethoven’s © y Minor Will Detight. Miss Gertrude May Stein, the brilliant young contralto from New York, who has already won so high a position on the con- cert and operatic stage, will be the soloist at ‘the concert of the Choral Symphony 5o- ciety to be given on Thursday, Dec. 9, in Music Hall. She will sing a number of songs py the great Bohemian composer Dvorak in which she has made so great a success. The chief number on the programme will, however, be Beethoven’s symphony No. 0, in C minor. All musicians place this among the very greatest of orchestral works rank- ing only second to the great choral sym- phony by the same master. Its wealth of melody and perfection of form has made it a favorite with ‘the critics and with the eneral public. The orchestra will play Radolf Jensen’s brilliant “Wedding March. The Choral Society invites any of its old members who ‘have sung in the ‘‘Messiah’”’ to volunteer for ‘this year’s production, and to send their names and addresses to the secretary at 110 Olive street, and pledge themselves to attend at least the last three rehearsals at Pickwick Hall on Monday evenings.

The woman who takes proper care of the health of her ; womanly - self, who is careful that the organs that constitute always well and strong, will be happy in her wifehood and capable in her motherhood. The best and most-used of all medicines for women is Dr. Pierce’s Favor-. ite Prescription. It acts directly upon the delicate feminine organism. It makes it strong and healthy. It cures all weakness and disease. It prepares a woman for her greatest mission, motherhood. It does away with the usual discomforts of the expectant period. It insures the health of a and makes its advent easy and almost inless. Over 90,000 women have testified to its wonderful virtues. More of it is sold than of all other medicines for this purpose combined. Women who want to know more about it should write to its discoverer, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffaio, N.

HELPFUL PHILANTHROPY THIS. Poor Men and Poor Families Will Be Given Wholesome Meals at Actual Cost. The low-price restaurant which has been so-successfully operated by the Provident Association during the past two cold sea- sons, will be resumed this~wimter upon a larger and more comprehensive scale. Gen- eral Manager T. M. Finney says the date of the opening, the location and several minor matters, will come up for consider- ation in a few days. ‘‘We will probably decide to open the res- taurant at the old location, on Tenth and Locust streets,” said Manager Finney. ““We found that a very convenient site. At any rate the restaurant will be established in a central location in the down-town dis- trict, easily accessible. The restaurant will be patturned after one of similar character in Boston, from which I obtained my idea originally, and which is one of the most successful charities I have ever witnessed in operation. “The meals we will supply will be from the freshest materials the market can sup- ply and will be plain, but substantial fare. Every article will be prepared by our own help, and each article will be supplied to our patrons at the cost of 1 cent. That is to say, a customer can secure a half pound of bread, a bowl of hot soup, a dish of po- tatoes, a dish of beang or pork, a cup of coffee, for a cent each. In this way 5 cents will give to a hungry man a sufficiency of wholesome substantials to satisfy the crav- ings of the inner man. “The restaurant {s intended to supply not only the needs of the single man, but of families also, and for a merely geominai sum. “The alm of the scheme is to afford poor people an opportunity to maintain their self-respect and to red the number of beggars. The scheme h@#® ‘been much of an experiment in the past, but we have studied the details closely dur'ng the two years it has been in operation and are confident now of our ability to make the cheap restau- rant a brilliant success, “Last year {t was not nearly so self-sup- orting as could have been wished for. e fed nearly 800 people every day, and the average cost of the meals to each cus- tomer was a little over 3 cents. To a large number of laboring men who worked on the eee buildiaga down town it proved a God-send, as they were enabled to secure a bowl of warm ots | or coffee to go with the little cold snack they brought with them in their lunch buckets.” CURBY MEMORIAL CHURCH.

HANDSOME BUSINESS HOUSE. Realty Is Quiet, But Not Dead—Rent- ing and Loans Active—Agents’ Weekly Reports. The prediction made several weeks ago in the Post-Dispatch that the establishment of a steel barge line between St. Louis and New Orleans would have the effect of restoring the Second street district to its old time importance is about to be antici- pated. Mr. Lewis ‘Rosenbaum, the North End real estate agent, has conchided not to wait for the barge line, but to begin at once the erection of an important business structure at the southwest corner of Sec- ond and Market streets, Nearly all of the business houses in that section are ram- shackled old structures that are producing bareiy enough to pay the taxes. Mr. Rosen- baum, who owns the corner, arrived at the conclusion that this was due to the bad con- dition of the buildings and set about rem- ocying the income by remedying the build- n g.

GRANGER SHARES THE LEADERS Wall Street Takes Great Interest in | the Probability That Congress Will Take Up the Currency. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—The strength which developed in the stock market at the close of business yesterday was resumed at the opening this morning. The market was under the same leadership as yesterday, and a part of its strength waa apparently reflected from the decided firmness of Man- hattan, sugar refining and Northern Pa- cific. The reports that the Supreme Court’s decision in the Nebraska maximum freight rate case would be decided in favor of the railroads on Monday were again influential , in the trading. .Little influence was exerted here, either by the London quotations for Americans or by the subsequent small deal- ings for foreign account. The London mar- ket was, however, reported as being un- favorably affected by the disturbances in Vienna and by the reports of a Franco-Brit- ish clash in West Africa. The covering of short contracts was a feature of the deal- ings to-day. The Granger shares were moderately ac- tive and firm. There was no particular news bearing on the general s:tuat.on to- day apart from the various reports of the mercantile agencies and the technical trade and financial journals. The general tenor of the reports was gratifying, and a number of railway companies made statements of earnings cover.ng various periods which were likewise caygetihen 3 exhibits, The fig- ures are printed elsewhere in this paper. The market gained strength steadily with the course of the morning, and there was also a decided increase in animation. The Granger shares assumed the lead in the later dealings and advances of 1 point were noted in their cases. Sugar Refining was also strong and active on reports regarding the imposition by the Treasury of countervailing duties on sugars ‘mported from bounty paying countries. The close was strong at or near the highest price of the day. While querulous complaints against the prevalent dullness is everywhere heard in Wall street, the condition in question is at least logical. A general equilibrium has been struck, and the market is now awaiting new de- termining developments. It is the inevitable tendency of Wall Street to discount and anticipate the future, and the homely say- .ng as to the impossibility of eating one’s cake and having it, too, may be pertinently applied to the present situation in the mar- ket. If there could be any certainty that the present business, agricultural and money market conditions would be perma- nent, it covld safely be asserted that many securit.es are unduly cheap. No such as- surance, of course, exists. Our fine grain crop is being marketed under gratifying circumstances and another wet summer in Europe would guarantee continued high prices for our wheat. This its, of course, a matter for future determ_nation. So, too, while nothing in the actual present outlock indicates a disturbance in the money mar- Ket it is now too early to tell what will be the effects of the proposed legislation On the currency. When it is suggested to re- tire the greenback issue of $346,000,000 and exchange for them the notes of national banks, or to retire the $230,000,000 of nation. al bank notes and replace them with Gov- ernment notes, it may readily be seen that apart from the merits of e_ther proposition a period of adjustment and of possible de- rangement of money market conditions is at least to De gravely considered. In short, whatever may be the outcome of the matter it is certain. that a very serious question is to be opened, and it is not by any means clear that the present is the most oppor- tune time for launching the scheme. It would at least be well to fortify the po- sition occupied In the politico-financial bat- tle of 1896, before making an avowal of its imperfections to the enemy. The rather negative results of the week’s dealings on the stock exchange are char- acteristic of a thoroughly professional speculation. The problem as to how one shall raise oneself by tugging at one’s own boot straps has never been worked out, and under existing laws of gravitation and physics it Is conceded to be impossible, yet wonder is expressed that the stock market should fail to develop a tendency in either direction. The truth is that actual liquida- tion is missing, and on the other hand there is no public demand for securities of Other than an investment class. Hence one day’s advance in the stock market are logically counterbalanced by complimentary recessions, when the buyers seek to realize their profits the next day or vice versa. The additional value created by the gen- eral c.rcumstances embraced in the busi- ness, agr-cultural and money market, is re- flected in the differences between present prices and those of last May. The imme- diate outlook comprises the meeting of Congress a week from Tuesday and the decision long expected im the Nebraska maximum freight rate case. Every traffic returns to make exceilent comparative showings, and the dividends paid itn the last fiscal year are practically insured for the current per'od, with the certainty that a number of corporations will be able tou do better by their shareholders. The busi. ness situation as a whole ia satisfactory. Manufacturers have not yet felt the full benefit of the increased urchasing power of the community, which will appear as stocks on hand are cleared up and a good spring trade is practically assured. Out of our harvest of wheat we have sold at good prices 100,000,000 bushels to the world and as much more must be exported before foreign requirements can be relieved by next year’s crops. The market for securi. ties resting on this basis, with the scaling pruning and elimination of surplus capitali. zation involved in the reorganizing process of the past five years, cannot be held to be in a top heavy or dangerous posit'on. fSENERAL TRUST BUSINESS TRANSACTED. from $1.00 and upwa [2,203 amount Gepostts In any amount Yea! estate for : from $1.0 and upward.

Cc Apart from the influence of the particular | matters in the immediate foreground upon — which Congress must act, it might be said that broadly speaking the market is hesj- tating in order that it may be ascertained to what extent the basis of values resting upon the extraordinary and special circum- Stances of the summer can be considered permanent. The general] gubject of the foreign ex- change situation attracts little notice in current discussion. There has been, to be sure, an undercurrent of dissatisfaction evi- dent that our large and favorable trade ba]- ance has not resulted in a continuation of the gold importations which began and ended so abruptly and suddenly two months ago, but this feeling is unreasoning. In- deed the gold importations were coincident with the almost unbroken advance in the stock market since May, and while they could not be held accountable for the event there is no question that the tightening of money rates in London, which followed the engagements of gold there caused a heavy liquidation of American securities. The Treasury’s October statement of the foreign trade movement showed that the conditions with which we have become fa- miliar during the past year are still pres- | ent and the weekly reports since made do ' not vary the story materially.

\ js 7 “ro SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-D et ig IVELY DEBATE BY TEACHERS. — e Annuity Association Is Finally Organized. } a BUT THERE WAS TROUBLE. SEVERAL PERSONS LEFT THE ROOM AND A NUMBER AB- STAINED FROM VOTING. IN QUESTION. — THE LAW (hose Opposed Thought the Act Un- constitutional and Declared It Class Legislation—Perma- nent Officers Elected. eee _- —--- After an acrimonious discussion, lasting from 10:30 o'clock until 1 yesterday, 200 pub- lic school teachers of St. Louis, who gath- ered in the auditorium of the High School, eucceeded in° organizing the St. Louis Teachers’ Annuity and Relief Assoc‘ation. ~ Assistant Superintendent of Schools Mur- phy was chosen permanent president of the association and Henning Prentiss, principal of Hodgen School, was named permanent @ecretary. Although the decision to organize and ac- cept a constitutiop already drawn up was unanimous, there was anything but a har- monious spirit hovering over the meeting. Those who didn’t vote “no” against all propositions which finally placed the or- ganization on its feet evidently did so to avoid further unpleasantness. While the votes on different motions were being taken many teachers left the hall. One man, the principal of an important echool, said something like ‘‘ponsense”’ as he jumped up and bolted. The rock upon which the body of teach- ers has been split for two years or more has been the constitutionality of such an organization and the manner of its R0v- ernment. It has been claimed that tne State of Missouri had no more right to legislate for the school teachers than it had to legis- Jate for the barbers, ‘he carpenters, or the tailors. Legislation for the school teachers was class legislation of the strongest kind. Again, it was urged that the constitution adopted yesterday contained a clause point- edly opposed to State laws. The claise in question is to be found in séction 6, which sets forth that no person shall become an annuitant who shall riot have paid into the treasury @ sum equal to 20 per cent of the annual salary received by him at the time of making application fer annuity. The laws of Missouri expresssly forbid any public employe being compelled to con- tribuie to any fund or public association. On the ground that school teachers are pub- Jic employes this section is said to be direct- ly opposed to the State laws. . John H. Rabe, principal of the Irving School, who has opposed the organization of the association on the lines it finally adopted, was the standard bearer of the a@nti-constitutionites yesterday. He spoke éharply on the dangers of the constitution gust adopted. Mr. Rabe said in part: I am in favor of creating a fund that may be used for the purpose of taking care of such teachers as may be unable to discharge the duties of their chosen profession. Should I become disabled and in need of assistance, I would gladly accept aid from such a source. But an available fund does not exist. It Should exist, and the question naturally arises @8 to wherejn the fault lies. The answer is, that what has been every teachers’ business bas been no teachers’ business. We teachers as a body, have not- done our duty in the matter, and I must say right here that those who have taken the matter in hand deserve our thanks. I am sorry IT cannot approve the means em- ployed for accomplishing this end. When the . Subject was discussed a little more than a ear ago, and I found that the State Legislature as asked to legislate for us, I opposed it. I held then—and I have not changed my opinion that the State Legislature has no more right to make a pension law for the teachers than it has to pass such a measure for doctors and lawyers, Where did the Eastern States get the nsion idea? From Europe. We got it from he East. We get many things from the East Some excellent things and some not so good. The constitution, as drafted for the St. Louls Teachers’ Annuity Fund, is defective and vis. toby According to the constitution, one per ent of my Salary paid into this fund wil] ive me a nice eum annually, say $800. when am disabled. Very good, indeed. But how fs this to be done? The constitution explains the method. One per cent paid into the treasury to create a capital will not yield sufficient income to pay the promised annul- ties. But the constitution wisely provides to increase this fund by ‘‘donations, legacies, ifts, bequests’? and other visionary means. n the meantime, while these uncertain means are materializing, we must draw on the orig- inal fund.

He made a strong argument in favor of the constitution presented, and when some one of e opposition referred to the pam- hiet “a thing, an insurance scheme,” fr. Cook WAs moved to a retort. In con- cluding his defense he said: “Vell, what if it is not all -‘husiness? Can't we afford to inject a little sent ment into our organization? Particularlv at this time of the year, when Christmas is com- ing on, I think we might give a little con- sideration to our fellows.” Wilkam C, Dyer, principal of School, spoke at length on “‘spec'al levisla- tion,”’ and against any connection between the pension fund and the Schoo!

There is no injustice in the fact that the time of the opportunity under the $ rate is short, for all who apply for or renew treat- ment during the month of November are to be treated UNTIL CURED at thie rate. It is entirely just that Doctor Copeland should announce definitely and positively that he cannot and will not extend the rate after December 1. By the very prominence and emphasis of the announcement he pro- tects his practice absolutely from any crit- icism on the ground of partiality from those who come after December 1, and are obliged to pay the regular fees. The reasons for the opportunity which obtains only during the concluding days of November have been sufficiently stated. Under this nominal rate of $5 a month until cured, all receive the same application of the Discovery that has restored to so many thousand their hearing that was given under the M@gular rates. Under this rate all sufferers from Throat, Bronchial and Lung Troubles receive the full benefit of Doctor Copeland’s treatment. “The Treatment That Cures’ that has lifted the blight of the word ‘incurable’ from these cases of Catarrh of the Throat, Bron- chial Tubes and Lungs, which reaches every sore spot from the orifice of the nose to the deepest part of the lungs, and in- stead of irritating and inflaming and feed- ing the fires of disease, soothes, quiets, heals and cures. Under this rate all sick people, no matter what their sickness, receive the same hon- est, skillful, intelligent and masterful care that they would receive if they were paying the regular fees. This is what the offer contemplates, This is just what it means. All new patients applying fcr treat- ment and all old patients renewing treatment before Dec. 1 will be treated UNTIL CURED at the uniform rate of $5 a month, medicines included, th a. physicians, self, my wife, my children, my relatives and my friends of various diseases, and I have the utmest faith in their skill and ability as physicians.’’ FREDERICK DONNERBERG, Sr., 5173 Vernoa Av.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 27.—Nicholas Marzen, convicted of murder in Chicago on purely cireumstantial evidence, has twice stood in the shadows of the gallows erected for his execution. Marzen is writing a book, two chapters of which, already finished, are given to a description of the feelings of a man who firmly believes that there are but a few fleeting moments between him and eternity. This man convicted of a murder is a master of the German native tongue. The streneth of his story loses something, per- haps, by translation, but there remains a vividness in the recital which shows th® awful agony which possessed the man’s mind during-the hours when the death- watch sat beside him, and when every few minutes there rang through the jail corri- dors the echo of the hammer-strokes nec- essary in building his g:bbet. Nicholas Marzen still stands within the shadow of a felon’s death, but he says the darkness is lifting and that not far off he sees the Hight. The Supreme Court has granted a supersedeas in his case and a new tr.al is expected. ‘‘From that trial,’’ says the convicted man, “there can nothing come but an aequittal.’”’ Marzen occupies a cell with Adolph L. Lueigert, the sausage maker, charged with kil.ing his wife and then dissolving her body in a vat of caustic soda. Marzen was a butcher by trade, and he had business deal.ngs with Luetgert long before either was charged with murder. On January 30, 18%, Frederick Holzhueter disappeared from his Chicago home. Three weeks afterward his body was found in a clump of trees on the prair‘e at Ninety-fifth street and West- ern avenue. The arms were bared and en- circling the head, and tied at the wrists with a piece of rope. Underneath the arms were the ashes of a fire, permeated by the emel] o1 Kerosene. The skull was split as though with a cleaver. The lower Imbs had been partially destroyed by fire, while og of the body had been devoured by ogs. The clothing had been saturated with kerosene, and a quantity of it had been In Overcoats we havea special good line in Ker- sey, Beaver, Covert Cloths and Chin- chilla at...... R. & G., W.

Other circumstances made it clear that the body had been removed to the iso- lated spot on the prairie only a few days before it was found. From the moment the murdered man's disappearance had been reported to the po- lice Marzen had been shadowed at inter- vals. It was shown to the satisfact'on of the officers that he was the last person seen with Holzheuter. The officers admitted, however, that the shadowing disclosed nothing suspicious in Marzen’s conduct. He was convicted of the orime principally because his wagon had been found thoroughly saturated with kero- sense, Also that he had known Holzheuter to be 'n aeons of a large sum of money, and that he had made an engagement to ride into the country with the murdered man on the night of the disappearance. Marzen admitted that he had made an en- gagement with Holzheuter to go into the country, but he said that the latter had failed to keep hie appointment. Another witness said that he had seen Holzheuter talking to a stranger who was in appear- ance totally unlike Marzen at a late hour on the n ght of the disappearance. However, Marzen was convicted after a trial of seven weeks’ duration and was sen- sgn to be hanged Friday, May 15, 1896, fe tells in ‘his book of what he supposed Were to be his last hours. “The agony of unrest,’’ he says, “began two weeks before the time set for my ex- ecution. I was innocent of the crime for which I was convicted. Before God I was innocent, and standing on the gallows with the shriving words of the priest still in my ears, I would have declared innocence with my last breath. I had hoped that the Gov- ernor would grant a respite, but the hope a to wane and my heart and soul were “I even began to wish that I were guilty. It is easier for a guilty man to die a hor- rible death by the rope than it is for an in- nocent one whose hand is unstained by the blood of man. The guilty man feels to the very core of his soul that there is, after all & justice in his fate.

I applied cold water, but the fire was unquenchable. “Daylight eame struggling through the windows of the jail. I could see the — light touching the cornices of the cous building beyond the paved yard. The deain watch was looking at the sunlight, too, but he seemed to aes nothing. I heard the hol- r gound of a blow. Or hat is that?’ I asked the watch. “He did not answer, but looked at me with pity in his eyes. Then it flashed across me that what I had heard was the first hammer stroke in the building of my gallows, The sound was repeated again and again. It came, and as every blow fell upon the scaffold beams the echo. struck into my brain. “Shortly afterward they came into my cell and gave me a suit of black clothes for my shroud. I dressed myself, believing that I was preparing for the grave. Then all at once the horror seemed to lift. I be- came as calm ae a child, The fever left my eyes and no fear haunted me. I knew then that I was to die with the courage of a man, and that. the feeling that had gone before was not fear, but simply a shuddering at the thought of the death which I, innocent, must die. “They were leading me - the death cham- ber, when, just as the last stroke of the gibbet was sounding in my ears, a man appeared waving a yellow bit of paper. It was a telegram from Gov. Altgeld putting off for eight months the execution of the sentence of death. ‘A jubilation took possession of me which I cannot even attempt to describe. I had been snatched from the shadow of the gai- lows and from the very brink of a felon’'s grave. That night sleep was as much a stranger to my eyes as it had been the night before, when I. believed I had death for a bed-fellow.”’ When the eight months granted by Gov. Altgeld had passed, with the exception of less than forty-eight hours, ‘‘Nic’’ Marzen stood once more face to face with death by the noose. Once more was the gallows erected and once more was the death watch set. Marzen had firmly believed up to a week before this second day set for his hanging, that the Supreme Court would in- terfere in his case, but as the time went on and there were but two sunsets and one sunrise between him and death he lost hope. In describing his feelings when on the threshold of eternity a second time he says that he was in an agony of anxiety, that fear and hallucination were ab- sent qualities. He felt, he says, that it would be little short of wicked to cut off a man after hope had been held out to him until it seemed a_certainty that he was to be allowed to live. He heard once more the hammer-strokes as the gallows was put together. Once more the priést came to hear his confes- sion and to prepare him for eternity. Once more he prepared a statement of his inno- «ence of the crime charged, and once more he steeled himself to walk to his death like aman. Then again, at almost the last mo- ment, came a dispatch telling him that the Supreme Court had granted a supersedeas. Th‘'s court meets next month, and ‘‘Nic’’ Marzen will soon know whether he is once more to stand trial for his life or is to be sentenced for a third time, not only to death, but to the horrors which for days precede the march to the gallows. A large part of Marzen’s book is gijven over to a description of what he says were the methods employed by the police in obtaining evidence against him. Much o? this evidence, he declares, was manufac- tured, the claim being the same as that advanced by Luetgert, who says that the Chicago police bulldoze people into giving false testimony, and make evidenc pele cloth, y evidence out of ‘CHANGE ELECTION RUMBLES Only a Month in Which to Lay the Wires.

What a Druggist Says About Remedies for Stomach Troubles. July 28, 1893, I was taken with a burning in my stomach and I could hardly bear to move. I had several doctors examine me. Some decided I had a boil on my liver; others said it was indigestion, some one thing, some another. took everything they prescribed, but no relief came. I could not drink enough water to quench my thirst; if I did tt would come up in a short time and leave me with a sick stomach. I could only eat corn bread and drink milk; at night, about 1 o’clock, it would come up. I sul- fered this way for two years. My bones ached as though I had been pounded, every morning. I could hardly realize that I was able to move. My bowels would not move unless I took physic. read about every medicine I could, and had faith in everything. Finally I read about a medicine called Pe-ru-na. 1 got a bottle, and, after taking it, felt some ease. I was handling drugs, and I or- dered some to keep in stock and to take myself. I continued to take it, and am now in very good health, and I believe it due to your medicine. I thought I was as bad as I could be, for I had taken everything, and, instead of them working off the bile, I would throw it up. I could get nothing that would give me relief in that way, and all this time my stomach was as sore as could be. I could not bear the weight of my hand on my stomach without pain. I can now say that it is my Opinion there is no better medicine made than Pe-ru-na, and I thank God that it was recommended to me. J. P. LAMBERT, Templeton, Tenn.

Speaker Grimshaw Replies to Elder Covert’s Attack. Permanent Speaker Grimshaw, who preaches every Sunday to the convocation of Spiritualists at Howard’s Hall, makes the following reply to Elder Covert’s state- ments in the Post-Dispatch: To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Friday evening your readers were enter- tained by an article from the pen of one Elder Covert—I say entertained because his ranting against mediums and Spiritualists really is amusing to any one who knows anything about the subject. The elder seems surprised that certain people (whom he speaks of as yellow curs) are not sat- isfied with his claimed victory over Moses Hull. Moses Hull vanquished by Elder Co- vert—how amusing, and what egotism, I would advise all those who are inclined to believe the elder to read the “Pro ressive Thinker,” a journal devoted to spiritualism published at 40 Loomis | street, Chicago, which contains a verbatim report of the debate. The elder declares he forced Hull to con- fess his disbelief in the Seca ome! of God. I should think he might have had that con- fession gratuitously. The Spiritualists God is not a person. That power we call God is infinitely more than personal. The Spir- itualist will not. stultify his own intellect or belittle his God by making that power out to be a big man. hardly think that Moses Hull or any other intelligent Spiritualist would deny the dvinity of Jesus, for we believe that all men have a portion of the divine life within them. If the elder means by the divinity of Jesus that he was more than human, then the Spiritualist will find a great many Christians who share with him his disbe- lief. He, the elder, declares that the Spiritual- ist denies or doubts the genuineness and authenticity of the Scriptures. What a ter- rible crime! The elder seems to ignore the fact that in the light of the higher critl- cism the genuineness of many Scriptural texts is being questioned, but this doubt or denial of certain portions of the Bible does not imply that we have lost all reverence for the good there is in the book. We want the truth, wherever it can be found, in the Bible or out of it, but we do not and can- not believe that God's revelations to man have closed or that the whole of truth is contained in one book. Who says spiritualism denies moral re- sponsibility? Why, one of the leading af- Charlotte E. Thomas...... at church. Possibly that makes them so zealous in this campaign of persecution. Yours for the truth, T. GRIMSHAW, Permanent Speaker for the St. Louis Spirit- ual Association. CONSTABLE IN A PECULIAR FIX. o—-~ Obeyed a Justice of the Peace and Vio- lated a Federal Law. Edward Blackburn, a deputy constable tn Justice F. A. Cline’s court, is in trouble with the United States Government because in the discharge of his constabular duties he violated the Federal laws. It became necessary for Blackburn to levy upon the stock of liquid refreshments ai Horn’s saloon at Old Manchester road and Dalton avenue. Then an order was ise sued by the justice who. heard the case to sell the goods under attachment. Blackburn concluded that a public sale was unnecessary. A private salé, he Shought, was all right, and several kegs of beer were sold at retail. The matter was reported to the Federa] authorities, and Assistant District Attorney Anthony caused an inforenation to issue. Blackburn was arrested and his prelimin- ary hearing was had before United States Commissioner Gray yesterday afternoon. Blackburn admitted that he sold the goods as charged in the information. But he showed the order of the court authorizin him to make the sale, and he complied with it not thinking he was violating any law. Commissioner Gray said the case was pe- culiar and he would let a jury decide whether there had been a violation. Black- burn was held to the Federal Grand-jury in a $200 bond. MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Spiritualists are accused of being free jovers. We are free lovers, but free love does not imply free lust. The unthinking and prejudiced have mistaken a protest against the existing custom (which sells too often our sisters to the highest bidder) for an immoral doctrine which sanctions free lust. The charge is a libel against the puedress of yo tg am 2 of virtuous citizens (spiritualists) who hold their marri; just as sacred as Elder Covert. ee A great many of your readerg wil] be surprised to Jearn that Prof. Crookes and Alfred Russell Wallace are in their dotage— poor old men, I suppose if they had been a little younger our friend would have spoken of them as too young and inexpe- rienced to testify. What a wise or arro- gant man this elder must be to assume that ‘he is @ more competent witness than ley, The elder renews ‘his challenge to dupli- cate any manifestation the medium can produce. Yes, some men can duplicate the United States silver dollar, but that does hot prove there are no genuine dollars, _ The elder speaks of frauds in spiritual. ism. Of course there are frauds in spiritual]. ism, there are frauds everywhere, in the church and out, but it is unfair to condemn a movement because certain men have stolen its heavenly livery to serve their own selfish ends. But the elder declares that all mediums are frauds or ignoram- uses. Poor man! How he is manifesting his ignorance. Had he confined his con- demnation to professional mediums, he would have been able to adduce a motive. But, perhaps, he is not aware that in his wholesale condemnation he is charging thousands of good Christians—members of the different churches who hold their pri- _— circles for communion with their spirit riends—with fraud. Perhaps he is not - are that more people have been converted © spiritualism in the private home circle medium. Seance room of the professional Perha thin Ds, ginn MEN RESTORED. True Manliness Replaces the Worn Out Nerves and Vigor. REMARKABLE REMEDY THAT MAKES A MAN YOUNG AGAIN. Thousands of men are to-day paying the penalty of earlier inattention to their strength. They have gone for years gradually burning out the fire of natural vigor when suddenly they break down. They look fairly well; there is not much outward evidence of decay, but the mind knows all about it. It is a peculiar form of weakness; produces a certain sensitiveness that completely upsets «@ man; and makes him feel that life has lost a goodly part of its brightness. There is a simple, home treatment put up by a well-known institu- tion of Kalamazoo, Mich., that imparts a wonder- ful degree of strength to men who are sexually weak. It is a very powerful tonic that makes the nerves fairly tingle with enthusiasm. And to men who are prematurely old, appareotiy worn out and gone to seed the remedy gives that comfort- able feeling imparted by a cheerful grute fre when we first come in of a cold, stormy night. By writ. ing to the Michigan Medical Co., 106 Masonic Temple, Kalamazoo, Mich., they will send you full particulars regarding this remarkabie tunic and strengtbener and also explain how it ig to be used, what it will do and all other information necessary to a complete, rapid and certain restor- ation, enlargement and return of manly vigor.

TOO YOUNG TO BE ARRESTED, He Told His Parents of the Melodrama He Had Prodyted, and the Po- lice Let Him Alone, As a boy train wrecker Ernest Beller, 7 years old, has distinulshed himself in a re. markable manner. As a result of his tampering with a sw#@ch there are seven freight cars wrecked on an embankment near Ivory avenue, in Caron- delet. Ernest Beller is the son of poor parents who live in a miserable hovel at 836 South Seventh street. Since school opened he has devoted Saturdays to gathering coal from the Iron Mountain road tracks, The coal he would “yor Saturday would last through the week at home. Yesterday was spent the same as other Saturdays, witli the exception that a train was wrecked and about $2,000 worth of mer- chandise demolished, besides the seven cars. At. 1:39 p. m. Ernst Beller ran up to the switch at Ivory avenue. The switch leads from the Oak Hill branch of the Iron Moun- tain down to the iron furnaces. The boy pulled the pin from the switch- handle and threw the rails of the single track from the connection with the switch Five minutes later the through freight from the Southwest on the Iron Mountain approached. The train Is a heavy one and stops only at important stations. Conse- quently the train of twenty-three loaded cars was under a good head of speed when the Ivory avenue switch was reached. Engineer Touhey saw the open switch too late. He reversed the lever as soon ag pos- sible, but the ‘engine mages over the switch and went to the embankment. Sev- en cars followed and broke away from the engine. The seven cars were lled in a heap b the side of the track. Pn heir contents, con- sisting of every imaginable kind of mer- chandise, was scattered over the vicinity. The boy, Ernest Beller, stood forty yards away and looked on. The Kinetoscope was nee a circumstance to it. It was the real thing. When all the cars had been heaped upon each other the boy ran home and told his parents what a grand scene he had wit- nesseda, Two hours later the police called on young Ernest Beller and he told them how he had wrecked the train. He wag innocent in his narrative that the police would not arrest him, They thought they Magee > wait for the Prosecuting Attorney o act. The Gamage to the cars will be $1,000 and to merchandise in transit about §2,500, No one was injured in the wreck. POKER GAME RAIDED Bunch of Rivermen Captured in the Lucas Building.

Kirkpatrick is 76 years old, and, accord- ing to the police, has been arrested numer- ous times for the same offense. A basket full of chips and a dozen decks of cards were confiscated by the officers. ee CLAIRVOYANTS., 14 Words or Less, 80ce. PROF. W. J. MARTIN, REDUCED CHARGES 50¢ AND $1, For Four Days Only.

After two weeks’ journey over a rocky road, Rice's Broadway Theater became a thing of the past yesterday morning. A performance was given Friday night, and after the curta'n was rung down Mr. Rice announced to his company taht the game was too hard and that he was forced to sur- render. — Tt is understood that while salaries were not paid in full, the company was paid as far as the meagre receipts would allow, The estimate is that each performer re- ceived about one-half the amount due, Audiences have not been large since Mr. Rice assumed the management of the Broadway, and his friends wonder that he kept his head above water longer than the first week. No performance was given last night, although the lights in front of the building and in the lobby of the theater and in the saloon next door shone brightly until midnight. The saloon, which was oper. ated in connection with the theater, was not open for business either. WAS ROBBED OF $1,000 William Johnson of Cape Girardean Loses a F.0ll of Bills.

THE PRISONER, CAUGHT AT HOT SPRINGS, SAYS GEORGE WIL- LIAMS FIRED THE SHOT. HE AND SHcLDON MEET. The Latter Weakens When Advised to “Save His Neck” and Also Talks to the Detectives—Williams Now Being Chased. Frank Stetson, one of the highwaymen who robbed Peter Heibel’s saloon at Jef- ferson and Scott avenues, on the night of the 15th inst., and who is charged with the murder of Policeman Nicholas Hunt, has confessed. Stetson was brought to St. Louis Satur- day morning by Detective McCarthy, who, w th Detective Smith and an officer of Hot Springs, Ark., arrested him in that city he day previous. ; ie ie R slim built, beardless youth of 18. He does not seem to realize the seriousness of the charge against him. He readily ad- mits that he participated in the hold-up, but den es that he fired a shot at any one. Ha claims that he did not know Hunt had been shot until last Tuesday, when he read an account of the murder in a St. Louis newspaper, Stetson stated that he, Sheldon and Geo, Williams, aliaa Little, alias “St. Paul Tip,” committed the robbery, and that it was the latter that shot Hunt. He says Wiillams was shot by the policeman durng the chase, and that he has reason to believe that Williams is now in Memphis, severely wounded. Detective Smith arrived in Memphie Sat- urday night. In response to-the questions of Chief of Detectives Desmond Stetson made the fol- lowing statement shortly after his arrival: ‘Tl am 18 years old. My home is at 90 West Mohawk street, Buffalo, N. Y., where my mother still resides. My father, Charles Stetson, is manager and traveling salesman for the Schonk Sign Co. of Chicago. For the past three months I have been tramp- ing about the country, “T arrived in St. Louis about a week be- fore we got into this trouble. The day after my arrival I met Williams and Sheldon in a hobo ealoon. They were trampeé like my- eelf. We struck up an acquaintance, and ‘on their invitation I lived with them ina room at 710 South Broadway. several other hoboes occupied the same room, We were all broke and Sheldon, Williams and myself owreed to rob some saloon. Willlams was the ring leader, The morning of the robbery we strolled around town to pick out an easy place We eelected Heibel’s place as the soltest snap. we could find. Early in the evehing we left our room to do ihe job, It fas raini hard. We all had pistols and cerchiefs to use as masks. fore we reached the ealoon we v our revolvers and arranged our masks, Williams entered the saloon first, Sheldon followed and-I came last.

Willlams jumped over * and robbed the cash drawer while lined the occupants up and went through them, When the job was done we ran out and went south, turning east at the first alley. Sheldon and I were in the lead with Williams about a half a block be- hind. When we were nearly through the alley we heard some one shooting at Us from behind. Turning around I saw Wil- liams fire one shot at a man standing at the mouth of the alley. We kept on and in running around the round-house Sheldon andl feli-in a pile of sand. “We jumped up and I ran up the railroad while Sheldon ran in another direc- I had gone a block when I heard shots ick succession and also loud vo.ces. on, and making a detour of several blocks proceeded to the room at 710 Broadway. Several hoboes were there, I did not say anything to them about the trouble, but sat down and walited. “In about three quarters of an hour “Tip” came in. He told me he had been shot by a policeman and showed me a bullet wound in the middle of his back. It had not bled and he did not pain. He told the other fellows that he sot shot in a fight. One of the boys tied aome eotton hatt'ng on the wound and that was all the attention he gave it then. “We-both siayed there that night.

The sem{-annual ball given by the South- west Cycle Club at Benton Park Hall on Thanksgiving evening was a grand success. The attendance was exceptionally large and exceeded all expectations, breaking all former records of the club in this respect, Although the hall was jammed the well-ar- ranged programme was enjoyed to the full- est extent. Among the crowd were noticed quite a number of representative wheelmen from the various cycle clubs of the city. The pool cournament a last week is now approaching blood heat, and the bat- tle between ‘“‘scratch’”’ and ‘‘handicap’”’ men is again on. So far the scratch men have had “easy icking,’”’ but will find some thorny bushes lotore they proceed many games further. The last meeting was an enthusiastic one, and a large amount of routine business was disposed of. The treasurer reported a healthy bonus on the right s:de. Recording Secretary H. A. Voss is re- ported on the sick] st. It is sincerely hoped by his many friends that he may soon be amongst the boys again. FANNING OF SAN FRANCISCO.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—A discarded wife whose husband, an inmate of a madchouse, ruined as she slaims by a woman whom the wife charges with forgery and is trying to send to Sing Sing, make up the characters in a strange case, the first trial of which has just closed in the Genera! Sess‘ons Court, It is the trial of May Kellard, charged with the forgery of a $1,000 note bearing the name of Mrs. Virginia Wood. The jury disagreed, and May Kellard has been unable to give bond anl must remain in jail. The jury which has tried her for forgery announced that they could not agree after numerous ballots and stood 7 to 5 for acquittal. May Kellard is the product or the result of an unhampered Hife in a great city. By one class of people she was known as the Tombs Angel, a missionary in the tene- ments, a wayfarer’s friend, and her home and purse were ever open to fallen women, By others she was known as the mis- tress of William G. Wood, Known as the Hiarlem millionaire, and it was his thou- sands she was spending. It is charged that when his cash ran short she made him borrow money on pa- per carrying his wife’s forged indorsement. Then, it is alleged, she forged the wife's name also and on that charge she was in- dicted. Mrs. Woods is fighting her vi- ciously. While Miss Kellard was a shining light at the Door of Hope Refuge she first became prominent as the friend of Barbara Aub, who had charged Walter Lanegan with assault. One man had been all but convict- ed—and few believe he was innocent—when Miss Aub, under Miss Kellard’s influences, went before Justice Goff and declared that her evidence was perjured and that Lane. gan wes innocent. No one has been able to expla'n the case satisfactorily. Later her double life with Wood became public and still later M‘ss Kellard appeared as the companion and friend of “Baroness” Blane, who was involved in an unpaid board bill et a prominent hotel. The defense was able to show at the out- set that Mrs Wood was pursuing relentless- ly the woman who had helped ruin the life of her husband. He Is an inmate of the in- sane asylum at Middletown, to which he was sent rather than to State prison, for he had forged his wife’s name to $30,900 worth of notes. There wag a dramatic episode near the close of the trial when Mr. Wood entered the court-room in the care of a keeper from the asylum. Assistant District Attorney Lleyd, in his opening for the prosecution, | wae telling what a very wicked woman he | would show the prisoner to be and was shak- ing his fingera her. Wood stood and list- ened to the bitter words. and all looked from him to the woman in the dock, expecting some sign from one or both, But Wood heard as if the castigation of his old love was nothing to him. May Kellard did not K at n. “Oa Fy ae stand Mrs. Wood admitted that she had offered $500 to procure a con- vietion of Mav Kellard. Her husband had never been extremely in- telligent. He was W# years old, and they had been married for more than twenty-five years when May Keliard, then 18, cap- | | ' said. | been represented as a designing adventur- | ' | wt ge ih if ihe i iy HBR rf | . MARY M.- sce)" | KELLARUSSE a) 17 tivated him. He neglected his wife, he spent his money, he dissipated a fortune. “It melted like the snow under a June sun,’’ said the prosecut.:ng attorney, Mr. Lloyd, and Miss Kellard whispered to her lawyer: ‘“‘The July sun does not melt the snow in Zembla.”’ This sarcasm seemed to indicate precisely the impression which Mr. Lloyd’s denun- ciations of her produced upon her mind, He said that she was “an adventuress,”” and she seemed amused; ‘‘a dangerous woman who should be in State prison,” and she shrugged her shoulders cerisively;‘‘a woman in whose hands Mr. Wood, now an imbecile in a mad-house, had ben like putty in a giazier’s hands,”’ amd she had an air cf one listening to an absurdity. When seen in hef*eell at the Tombs M!ss Kellar told the story of her life. She was wan and thin and woebercone—a little fig- ure of a woman who buried her face in her handkerchief and burst in a passion of tears, A cell in the Tombs ‘!s neither a con- venient or suitable dressing-room for a woman who has been used to al] the re- finement and luxuries of the toltlet—a wom- an who has spent $40,600 within little more than ten years. She was poorly dressed. The roses were gone from her eheeks. The fine feathers that had made her a fine DdDird in other days were missing. Her clothing was shabby, positively shabby. She is now the posses- sor of one old straw hat. In the days gone by she was the owner of what the Paris- fan milliners are pleased to call ‘‘confec- t'ons’’ that in themselves represent a for- tune, . Five years ago she was one of the hand- somest women in town. Gowned like a princess in velvet and sable, with diamonds as big as hazelnuts and as white as frost work swinging from her ears, always With a huge cluster of Parma vio- lets on her breast, she was a striking and attractive figure at matinees and on the promenade. Yesterday her glorious black eyes with their long curling lashes were red and swollen from continual weeping. Her formerly plump, peachy cheeks are sunken and the lines are deepening round the full lips. Her superb black hair, once smooth and stfining as satin and dressed with elab- orate detail, was carelessly brushed back and braided in a knot at the back. “*T was 17 when I met Mr. “He is 34 years my senior. who led Mr. Wood astray from his Do you think I could have been a de- signing adventuregs at 177 “Where did you meet him?” —— “cheeka “In a real estate office in One Hundred and Sixteenth street.

I knew nothing of business details at that time. I had only been out of school a short time. But I went with my friend to this office. The agent there said he could not discount the note. There was a gentleman in the office at that time. ‘Here ‘8S Mr. Wood,’ said the agent; ‘he is a rich man; perhaps he will discount the note.’ Mr. Wood came forward and taiked over the matter and finally decided to discount the note for my friend. I did not see Mr. Wood for two years after that. Then met him accidentally one day down town, in front of the Mutual Reserve Building. He came up and spoke to me and asked me if he could come to see me, I said yes. It was wrong, I suppose—yes, I know it was; but Mr. Wood was old enough to be my father, and he was very wretched at home. He got my brother a position in a city department.

Banker Cantoni’s Estate Will Not Go to His Housekeeper. Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 27.—The Court of Appeals has decided that Elsa Forster shall be perpetually restrained from suing the estate of Salvatore Cantoni for $170,000, which she claims was due her for services and wages. Since 1892 Mrs. Forster, as she calls herself, has continually assaulted Cantoni or his estate in the courts. The Elsa Forster of to-day was in 1884 the wife of Dr. David C. Brennan, a suc- cessful practitioner in Brooklyn. She was pretty and vain. She had a beautiful home and an indulgent husband. Mrs. Brennan met Saltatore Cantoni when he was in the prime of his manhooa, He was a banker in Wall Street and a knight of Italy, his former sovere-gn hav- ing made him a cavalier of the Order of the Crown. They met, according to all that is known, by means of a flirtation. They fell in love, with the result that one day Dr. Brennan found his home abandoned.

Miss Mollie La Tour and Miss Tody Shaw, the St. Louts favorites, who are entered in the contest, have reported to Manager Messter that they are in the best of con- dition and are confident that they wll give the professionals a hard race, as they are determ'ned that the winner of the coming race will have to break the world’s rec- ord in order to defeat them.

Brennan was proud and did not seek his wife, or he might have found her installed as “housekeeper” for one’ Saivatori Fort- uny. It was in 188 that Dr. Rrennan was deserted, and for seven years, or until] 1892, the runaway wife continued on as “housekeeper” for Fortuny, never dream- ing, as she declares, that he was Canton! the Wall Street broker, and that he had a wife and children at No. 56 South Portland avenue, Lrooklyn, in which city she and her quondam husband also lived.

It !s Sloan's manner of living and training even more than his rare track achievements which in- spire comment among the British sporting reentry, not to mention the public at large. The little jockey lives at the Great Cecl Hotel in almost the luxury of a bimetailiec commissioner. He has chartered a suite of four handsome apartments, the most ex- pensive in this very expensive establish- ment, and here, surrounded by his pictures, his extensive outfit of trunks and the retinue of those fair-weather friends who are al- ways willing to share the earnings of suc- cess, and attended by his valet, he main- ae» ee sreater 5 pr is assumed by continenta ri sheltered under the same of. dati ss. ll CHIEF CONSUL LUCAS ILL.

It is well understood that the main strength of a ball club Hes in its batteries, especially the pitching end, and no one can gainsay the excellence of Jack Taylor as a pitcher.

GROWING IN STRENGTH. Is the Horse Owners’ Protective Asso- ciation Just Organized. The row in San Francisco between Pres!i- dent Tom Williams and the Horsemen's Protective Association is not ended yet by any means, In fact, since the row the Pro- tective Association has assumed wonderful proportions. It is estimated that 73 per cent of the owners belong to it, and they represent nearly 500 horses. Each and every one is bound by oath to stand by the con- stitution and if one die, all die. Calm and cunsideraie minds allow that President WiI- liams acted hastily. It is pointed out that he should have allowed the owners to or- ganize and said nothing until they made some demand of the Jockey Club. hat he reinstated Boots so soon after suspending him showed that Williams recognized his mistake and the strength of the organiza- tion of which Mr. Boots is at the head. a ST.

Johnny Coleman lost a $50 bet on Pets- cotto at Frisco a Week ago Saturday. Great foot ball weather this, and great crowds should be out to see to-day’s games.

I. Creedon Putting On the Finishing Touches at Palos, a Town Near Chicago. Of Kid McCoy, who is in training to fight Dan Creedon of St. Louis, the New York World of Thursday last has this to say: “Kid McCoy, the middleweight boxer, who is matched to mect Dan Creedon of Aus- tralia in a twenty-round contest at the Long Island City Athletic Club on Dec. LW, practically for the middleweight champion- ship of the world and a purse of $7,500 which is being given by Sam Austin and Honest John Kelly, started in training for the contest for the first time at Fellx Bohm’s road-house at New Dorp, 8. I., on Monday. When McCoy arrived at his training quar- ters his trainer. boc Payne, the middlie- welght boxer of Cleveland, had everything ready for him to begin his work. He donned the clothes which he is always in the habit of wearing when he is training for a fizht, and began to annihilate a new punching ball which he had been made a present of while he was in Chicago, He did not stop punching the ball until he was told to do so by his trainer. McCoy did not show the slightest sign of being tired and after putting on a pair of eight-ounce gloves he boxed four fast rounds with Payne. The gloves were then put away and Mc- Coy wresiled with his trainer for fifteen minutes, McCoy letting Payne do all the roughing and also the hard work. By this time dinner was ready and MeCoy and Payne and also Kid McPart- land, who ts training at the same place for his fight with Joe Burke; Jerome Quigley, with his trainer, Joe Falvey, sat down to dispose of the excellent repast which Mrs. Boehm had prepared for them, After dinner McCoy, McPartland, Payne and Falvey started out for an elght-mile walk, wearing heavy sweaters and under- clothes. After walking a mile and a half of the Mo- ravian Cemetery at New Dorp. McPartland suggested that they walk through the’ceme. tery and the other three consented, After climbing up hills and also running for several hundred yards at a a, the trio arrived at their training quarters 5 ort- lv before 6 o'clock. McCoy punched the bag for fifteen min- “ertes, after which he and McPartland were ‘given a good rub-down with alcohol. ‘were weighed. Both jumped on the scales and McCoy tipped the beam at 160 pounds, while McPartland weighed 148 pounds, After supper McCoy sald that he intend- ed to do considerable road work during the twenty days which he has to get in shape for the contest, as he wants to be in better whape than he ever was before. McCoy goes to bed at 9:50 every night and rises at 7 o’clock in the morning, and will hereafter begin his day’s training by tak- ing a salt-water bath, after which he will eat his breakfast and take part im the eame exercise which has already been mentioned. McCoy feels confident he will defeat Cree- don, and has already organized a theatrical company which he intends to take on the road after his fight, McCoy meeting all comers in four-round contests. McCoy is at present trying to secure Tom- my West to assist Doc Payne in gett-ng him in shape. McCoy says he intends to enter the ning at 160 pounds, Dan Creedon js at Palos, Ill., near Chica- ro, working hard to get in shape for his meeting with McCoy. One who saw him at work says: “Dan is practicing for hard hitting and break-up tactics. McCoy is much taller and considerably longer in the reach than Dan, and it is evidently the latter boxer’s inten- tion to set a hot pace for the tall Ameri- boxers then can, “IT think,” said Dan, “that the ‘Kid’ ts much overrated; anyway, we will see when I ger in the ring with him, if they find a place for us to mill unmolested. His doing up of Australian Billy Smith has _ not caused me to alter my opinion of McCoy. I've seen the day, though, when Smith was full of fire and punches, and when McCoy woul? want something easier than Australian Billy to show off with. “He was a great fighter once,’’ said Dan, rowing reminiscent. “It was something ike fifteen years ago in Australia, when Tom Tracey and I were kids, that I first é6aw Smith. He had a heart punch then hat few of them could get away from, and was active asa kitt: n on his pins. Tom- my Tracey and I saw him do a fellow in those early days in quick order—the first scrap we ever saw—and we soon after pur- chased a pair of gloves and began practic- ing on each other.” Returning to K'd McCoy, Dan resumed: ‘T was never defeated but once, and I be- lieve it will take a better man than Me. Coy to duplicate the trick. My record shows I have not been backward in getting against all sorts of them, at that. I feel as though there were no way but for me to win out with the ‘Kid;’ I need a win over him tn my business just now.” Creedon will train at Palos Springs up till within two or three davs of the fight. as the dry air and pure spring water suit him exactly. Col. John D. Hopkins of St. Louls, who is looking after Creedon in this fight, is con- fident of the latter giving a good account of himself, and he will be at the ring side ready to back up his opinion in good shape, . — eo - SHARKEY AND JACKSON. ee ee ewe The Sailor Boy Anxious and Willing to Fight the Negro. Tom Sharkey has a penchant for meeting Peter Jackson, “Do you suppose he would fight me,” asked Tom between cigar puffs on the fer- ry boat at San Francisco Saturday. “‘He might,” was the response. “T’ll fight him,’’ added Tom. ‘‘He says he will meet anybody, and if if he means it, he can have me.” Tom went on to say that he never declined to meet a man since he had been before the public, and he would not bar Jackson. “If a man pretends to be a fighter,”’ said he, “he should take on anybody. hese fellows who make distinctions make me tired and the public tired. A fighter should fight and not chew the rag. This has ai- ways been my policy, and it will always be es long as 1 am in the ring.” Ck ow alin THE DAYS OF M’COOLE. —,--—— Referee George Siler Talked About Them When He Was Here. When Referee George Siler was here last week he had something to say about the pugilists: who flourished here twenty and thirty years ago. “Your man Mike McCoole,” said Siler, “who beat Tom Allen for the championship of the world in 1870 and who was in turn beaten badly by Allen, was a man of the Goddard and Lavigne etr'pe. He died @& pauper in New Orleans early in the Ws, and was rescued from a pauper’s grave by is old foeman, Allen. The last time I saw MecCoole was in the Crescent City a few are after the Sullivan-Ryan ficht at Miss- iseipp!

KID M'COY IN TRAINING. tel a GIVING HIS PARTNER A GOOD ONE oe John, Billy Madden, Bob Farrell and the others, friends of the big fellow. ‘Poor devil, he is paying his debt to nature the €éame as all the rough game fellows_do, said Al Smith. McCoole looked over John from scalp to sole, and with his eyes wet with tears, said: ‘You're a fine, big fellow, but don’t make a fool of yourself by rough- ing it in your fights. Learn how to box and how to work on the defense, for if you don’t you will feel it when you get older, blubbered poor Mike. ‘Then he compared himself with Mace. If he had been as clever as Mace, with his etrength to back him, he would have held the championship far longer than he did. §So he ga‘d and so he thought, poor fellow, at the time.” WALCOTT AND LAVIGNE, It Is Not at All Likely That Those Two Will Meet Again. Tt {s not at all certain that Walcott and Lavigne will fight again, Billy Lavigne, the Kid’s brother, was seen the other day in San Francisco, and he stated that: his brother was not a bit pleased with his ar- rangements. “George tells me,” gaid Billy, “that he will not fulfill my contract. “He says he can’t meet Walcott at 138 pounds, and won't, When I made the match I sup- — that he would be abide by anything did. but he says he won't. You see George has been up against this colored fellow a couple of times, and he knows what kind of game he is. He is now giving him five pounds more than he did the first time he met him, and this is a good deal.”’ Both brothers were at the ball game and enjoyed the sport immensely. ‘TI wish I could get that reception at home,” observed the K da when they were carrying out the flowers to Joe Corbett, and, by the way, one bunch Was presented by the doughty little cham- ea. “When I go home they throw snow balls at me. I have boxed at benefits and done everything for them, but somehow they don’t appreciate me. Iam always ac- corded bigger receptions elsewhere,’’ A ROYAL RECEPTION, Did Joe Corbett Get From His Old Friends in San Francisco. This is the way a San Francisco paper tells of the reception Pitcher Joe Corbett got there when he made his debut a week ago with the Baltimore and All-American teams: “It was Joe Corbett’s day at Recre- ation Park yesterday. A crowd went out to ses a ball game, but more in particular to see the popular young Californian pitch, A great deal has been written about his marvelous success on the diamond, and his friends were curious to see what it looked like. Joe made his reputation exclusively in the East, so the opportunity to see his famous curves presented itself for the first time yesterday afternoon, When the proud young pitcher stepped into the box, his legion of friends gave hi man ovation, and when he strode up to the plate to feel of the ball he was actually interred in ex- quisite exotics. Playing was suspended un- til Joe sized up the great floral ‘“‘welcome homes.”’ His brother players came to his rescue and carried him away so that play- ing could be resumed. He promptly cracked out a single and the sport began anew, Both teams played gingery ball. Corbett pitched in nice form and was the principal = pe ge Winning the game for the cham- pions. SEVERAL PADDED PURSES. Said to Have Been Hung Up by the Nashville Race Track Folks. Special to the Post-Dispatch. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 25.—Something of a sensation has been caused among horsemen here by a report which has been brought from Nashville as to the manner in which matters have been conducted at the meeting at Cumberland Park, now near- ing its close. The Nashville people here, according to the report, have Goan sailing under false colors, so to speak. They have been guilty of misrepresentation as™to the sizo of the purses which they have been hanging up. Their daily programmes have announced that thelr purses are of $200 and 400 each, and in the form sheets the purses are reported to be of the amounts named— generally four of $200 each and another of $250. It is said, however, that the amount actually hung up for each and every race down there is $150, no more and no less, $100 to the winner, $35 to the second horse and $15 to the third. This story has not been had _ second- handed. A reputable horseman who has been at Nashville and who raced there is authority for the statement that while the daily programme and the race condition S:ips specifying that purses of $200 and $250 are to be given the horsemen when they settle must do so on the basis of $150 in every case. He says that when recently Mr, Doss of the firm of Doss & Storey, owners of Bridgeton, called at the office of the sec- retary for the first money won in @ race by that horse he was banded $100. The pro- gramme announced that the purse was $200, of which $150 to the first, etc. Ross called Mr, Walter Palmer's attention to the fact. Do you want that $150?" inquired Mn Palmer. Yes,” replied the horseman. Well, here it is. Now, take your horses from the track,’’ Such tg the story given to-night. The day after the episode referred to is reputed to havo occurred Doss & Storey did take their horses from Cumberland park, notwith- standing the fact that they were ready to race, and the further fact that, inasmuch as that firm intended to race at New Or- leans, it would have been to their advantage to continue to race at Nashville until the close of the meeting there. he gentleman who is authority for the statement con- tained herein could have no apparent mo- tive for misrepresenting the matter. Neither has he exacted secrecy. In fact, he has made the statement given above in the hearing of a number of horsemen and oth- ers here. The Nashville scheme, as he gives it, smacks somewhat of the high-handed method that the Windsor Association at- tempted to adopt to avoid giving $300 purses, as required by the Turf Congress, though the size of the purses to be offered at Nash- he is not prescribed by Turf Congress OVER AY WEST BADEN. A Lot of St. Louis Thoroughbreds Are Now Having a Happy Time. Frank Warner, the well-known young turfman and bookmaker, returned from West Baden Springs, Ind., last night. “I had a great time over there.” sald Frank last night. “I left here last Sun- day with a party which included Tony Stuever, the Police Commissioner, Charley Wale, D.

Owners representing fully 125 horses have already written to me for stable room. Many want to winter their horses there.

The Pullmans won yesterday’s game from the picked eleven of all St. Louis associa- tion players at Sportsman’s Park yester- day afternoon. Pullman won the toss and Reed kicked off. Even play, followed by ood combination playing on the part of the Iimans, enabled Young to score a beauty. Smith soon followed with a second and Cunningham soon scored a third. A good run by the home right wing resulted in Mo- Sweeney scoring a goal, followed shortly afterward b another by Reed. Ends changed with score 3 to 2. Second half play was even but the visitors’ combination was better than the home team and n- ningham and McLachlan scored a goal. The final result was 6 to 8 Teeples was good in goal. Aston and Scobie were safe at back and Macreadie was a star at half Cunningham and Young were the best of the forwards. The home defense was er- ratic, McCarty alone doing good work.

Heck wolt 4 OLD WESTMINSTER WINS. — e College Boys at Fulton Defeat the bes Columbia High School Eleyen. 1 to the Post-Dispht~h. TOR, Mo., Nov. 27.—The college foot ball team of Westminster College, Fulton, last had the resulta of one ~ete — wied in its favor. The decisive ~ ark, Fultgn, Nov. r. boast of three ed teams this fall, and Iniversity teams had de eated ne after the other, in @ very the High School team of very after the two Westminster, 0 | decisive manner, Columbia dared to face the Westminster | boys In a friendly contest on the gridiron. The 25th was just such a day as would be stimulating to and enjoyed by those taking part in the game. But for the spectators who en ouraged the poy, athletes by their presence the day was not the most destrabie. Notwithstanding all this, the people Rd out and surrounded the arena until finally there was a more respectable looking crowd thun has been seen in old Star Park for some time, For the first half the south goal fell ts the lot of Westminster, and promptly at thesignal the kick-off was made by Colum- bia’s good center, Maxwell, the ball bein eaught on W. C,’s 20-yard line and advance: by Anderson 15 yaras. The ball Was held close to the S5-yard line for three straight downs, when by good line-bucking, Colum- bia advanced the ball to W. C.'s 15-yard line, and from here by a daring run through the High School's right hajf- barely avoiding the tackle of Anderson near the goal line, cleared the coast and made a touch-down near the poles. Either on account of contrary winds or the inexperience of the kicker, the kids failed to kick the goal, and the gcore thus stood 4-4), Thus far things looked gloomy for West. minster, every tongue in the crowd seemed clove to the roof of its mouth, save a faw enthusiasts. who came over from Columbia and cheered at the brave start of their boys, But not en encouraging yell was heard for old Westminster. This praise, however, was not what the W. C. boys were waiting for. They had missed their calculation by thinking the High School boys were something easy. But they now saw that In order to win the game they mist play ball, and good ball at that. The game on both sides was now pursued for all there was in it, but it only took this nervy playing to prove that the Fultonites had the superior team. The ball was again placed, and by the energetic playing of the ome boys, such good work was accom- plished as to draw from the crowd a chorus of cheers. This was certainly stimulating to Westminster, and at the game time showed, or should have shown, the Colum- bia lads what they must do to win. From this time on, in both halves, every move of any consequence went in favor of Westminster. The first touch-down made by the High School was its only one, while the Westminster team made two touch- downs in each half and never failed to kick a goal, The halves were of twenty-five minutes’ duration each and by prompt playing and only a few calls for time the game ended about 4:43, in plenty of time for a good rest-up before the usual Thanksgiving sup- per. Some notable plays were made, among which those of Unsell, Anderson, Gordon, Yates and Cousley may be mentioned, Unsell’s plays were good and timely all through the game. Although the High School boys were de- feated it is no sign they did not deserve praise for their playing. In fact, consid. ering thelr age and experience, they de- serve, individually, perhaps as m praise as any of the Westminster team. Look out for them In 'S8, if they stay together.

Columbia’s Next Trip Will Be Down to the Sunny South, Bpectal to the Post-Dispatch. COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 27.—The foot ball season of '97 has come to an end. The Kan- sas game was probably the final struggle in which this year’s Tigers will participate, Severa] of the minor colleges of the State desire ames yet, and it is barely possibie they may be accommodated, Wentworth Military Academy of Lexing- ton has gotten the idea that its eleven cag cut some congealed water against the Ti-¢ gers, and is consequently putting forth ite main efforts to secure a game. But the training table has been abolished, and it is not in the least probable that the “tin” sole diers will have the opportunity of confronte ing their flerce rivals. The Kansas game was, taken all in all, rather a source of consolidation to Misé sourians. Aside from fullback, the Tigers unquestionably outclassed thelr opponents at every point. Though outwe.ghed, oute- experienced and out-aged, the ana 4 Co- lumbia lads put up a game of which any team might well feel proud. Woodson, the unfortunate incumbent of the fullback’s position, does not deserve all the censure he is ea True, he lost the game for Missouri. But que voules- vous? When aman who has never played any other position than guard is taken out of that and placed back of the line at fuli- back he cannot be expected to jump right in and play a ster game in ten days’ time And ten days was ail the coaching Wood«- £80n received, Some of the Kansas City papers, notably the Times, showed very bad taste, very poor judgment and a small knowledge of the condition of things here by catechiging Woodson severely and even harshiy.

PUISUNERS MAY SUAPE THE LAW, i — Embalming Fluid in Taylor’s Veins Destroys Evidence. DIED OF ACUTE GASTRITIS. FANNIE JONES, TAYLOR’S COM- PANION, COMES BACK AND Is CAUGHT. MRS. TAYLOR ACCUSES HER. The Wife Says She Kept Up the In- surance on Advice of a Neigh- bor Woman, Using Rent Money. Thomas Shackelford, Mary Long and Nettie Taylor, all colored, are in the hold- over on suspicion of having murdered George W. Taylor, the colored porter of the Anti-Kamnia Medical Company, at 172 Olive street. Taylor died, presumably from the effect of arsenical poisoning. The police, who in- vestigated the death, claim Shackelford ad- ministered the poison at the instigation of Nettie Taylor, the dead man’s wife, the beneficiary of an insurance policy for $1,000 on Taylor's life. Four other persons, all negroes living at 154 Pine street; were poisoned at the same time that Taylor was. They recovered. George Taylor, living at 24 Targee street, is the dead man. Several months ago he left his wife and got a room at 150 Pine street. In a few weeks he took a woman there to live with him. She was not his wife. Among Taylor's friends was Shackelford and when Taylor left his wife at 2 Targee street, Shackelford moved in and has since been living with Mrs. Taylor, the police stare. Shackelford was a frequent visitor to Tay- lor in the Pine street house, Last Mon- dav he was there early. On the table in the room occupied by Tay- lor and the woman was a bucket of cold coffee. Shackelford took the coffee down- staurs co Mrs. Mattie Jackson, who runs the house, and asked her to warm it up for Taylor. Mrs. Jackson poured the coffee into her own coffee pot, brought it to a boil and poured it back into the bucket Shackelford had brought, she says. Then she proceeded to make coffee for her own family, and neg- lected to rinse out the pot she had used for Shackelford. Mattie Jackson drank the coffee and so did Mary Jones, Mary Harris and Mollie Adams, thrce young negro women living in the house. The four women soon became deathly fll. Drs. Ryan of 1410 P_ne street and Fernwood of 2830 Adams street were called to attend them. Doth physicians said the women were suffering from arsenic poisoning. When Shackelferd took the bucket of coffee upetairs to Taylor the man drank it all. Shackelford refused to touch it, the police say, but pressed Taylor to drink. Immediately Taylor became jill. The woman dosed him with hot salt and water, but no physic_an was summoned, Taylor drank the coffee last Monday. He went to bed. The woman nursed him and Shackelford was a daily visitor. Wednesday Taylor became delirious, Fri- day morning he got out of bed and etag- gered to his okl home at 24 Targee street. His wife admiited him. No sooner @id he pass the threshold than he reeled and fell to the floor. He was put to bed, but in an hour he was dead, The Coroner was notified that Taylor d'ed without medical attendance. In this way the police learned of the case Saturday. They promptly made an investigation. Mrs. Jackson told them of an attempt made by Shackelford to poleon Taylor three weeks ago. Shackelford went to see Tay- lor and the woman, and took them a bottle of whisky. Taylor and the woman drank from the bottle, but immediately spat it out. Touis Williams, clerk at the Baltz Drug Company’s_ store, Fourteenth and Chestnut, told Taylor, when he took the bottle there. that it contained two parts whiskv and one part carbolic acid. Dr. Neitert of the Coroner’s office made am post-mortem on the body of Taylor Sat- urday afternoon. He found the direct cause of death to be acute gastritis, which dis- ease could have easily been produced by arsenical potsoning,. The dead man’s stomach was removed for a chemical analysis. “We will have it examined for arsenic by the City Chemist,’ said Dr. Nietert. “If arsenic was the poison employed we will have gome difficulty in establishing it. After the man died the body was am- balmed. lndertakers in embalming bodies inject large quantities of arsenic into the veins. The arsenic so injected may overrun and hide any arsenic previously adminis- tered, “Acute gastritis means the man died of inflammation of the stomach, Arsenic ad- ministered would be a powerful irritant and could easily cause gastritis. The tin- quest will be held at 10 o’clock Monday.” Shackelford, held in the holdover for murder, denies that he poisoned the man. He says tho coffee was heated for him by Mary Long, and if anybody poisoned Tay- lor it was Fannie Jones, the woman with whom the dead man had been living on Pine street. This woman disappeared. The police were unable to locate her. They placed a man on watch at her room. After dark she came home. She was arrested.

Every experienced street car traveller will readily recognize the purpose and benefit that is sure to be the fruit of this poem. Who has not seen the individ- ual here so so vividly depicted? But it is quality, the bold and defiant tone of the poem that we admire. “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” according to our tastes, is worse than waste paper compared with this. There is something far-seeing in comparing the street car swine with a hog with a gold ring in his nose. This recalls to mind the truth of Cicero’s famous state- ment before the Roman Senate: “That street car hogs were doomed to become extinct, as they were all of one gender.” ain HH Mi . _ — - «eq —* So ~ \\ ee 4 \yy A) me.

He said he hadn’t seen me and that I hadn’t called out to him in time, and then he added that he didn’t believe I had called out at all. I always do call out, or nearly always, so I told him he was a liar. He made no reply, which irritated me, as it would any one, so I called him a liar again. Suddenly he turned round and said: “If youse call me a liar onct more (his grammar was horrible—these fellows never get any decent education) I’ll knock the stuffin’ outer you, and think the loss of me job well worth it!” I was so amazed at his insolence that I could find no words, though he waited expectantly.

He grew worse and worse, and realizing that the end was near and that he had only his dress suit in which to be buried, he attained the loftiest pinnacle of true snobbery by saying with his dying breath: “Don’t bury me until after 6 o’clock!” Brave and true snob! Such fidelity to a principle is worthy of a monument, FIRST NIGHTER.— Yes, it will help you to pass as current coin in the realm of snobbery. if youy can acquire the reputation of being a first nighter of every new play produced. And you will be all the more solid if you can make yourself as con- spicuous as possible during the progress of the play. It will be necessary for you to occupy a box to do this to perfection. Going out at the end of every act and failing to return until the curtain has gone up for the next act is an old and tame trick, and the commonest sort of cattle do it.. Of course, it is a good deal easier to dead- head your._way into a single seat than it is to secure a whole box, but a box you must have if you want to fly high in Snobdom. Having once secured a box, fill it with friends as addlepated as yourself, and if they and you cannot devise ways and means of attracting more attention than the players are attracting you are not the snobs I take you to be. DINER OUT.—You must be a hustler and be an adept at working the ropes to get yourself in- vited to six dinners in one week. The fact that you happen to know that four of your hostesses invited you at the last minute to take the place of other guests who were ill or had been called out of town need not disconcert you in the least. Every snob has that experience. And don’t you fret if you did overhear another of your hostesses say that she invited you out of respect and sym- pathy for your mother. We snobs don’t give a rap how or why our dinner invitations come, just so we get them. You are probably correct in your surmise that several of your hostesses were an- noyed because you monopolized the entire con- versation at the table, but that is of less conse- quence than the fact that you made the fearful mistake of laying your napkin across your right instead of your left knee and thoughtlessly par- I would rather cheat my washerwoman board bill than be guilty of a breach of table eti- BERTIE.—Now that you have been abroad it vill be proper for you to speak lovingly and famil- ELT TN oe Le TR ee viel ip . 4 _ SUNDAY.

LOON AND WIFE: Esteemed Friends: If you think the inclosed very funny things gotten off by my son, Master Georgie, are worth anything, you may use them free gratis. Although this little lad is only eight years old, he keeps our household in a constant state of uproar by his bright wit. And what is the strangest part of it all, he is the only one of the family (which is | made up of seventeen people—my wife’s mother's people having recently come to live with us), who does not believe his remarks are bright. The other morning at breakfast his mother said, “Georgie, why are fish like snow?” Quick as a flash he answered. without cracking a smile, “Why, because you can make balls out of both of them.” (Fish-balls and snow-balls). Several years ago the minister called on us for dinner, and Georgie said to him, “Do you know why my ma is like a dog?” Of course .we minister said “no,” even if he really did know, and the boy answered, “Because she is making pants for me.” He meant that his mother was engaged in mak- ing his first pair of trousers, which he soon after- ward donned, he being only four at the time. The minister has often told me since that it was one of the funniest jokes he, had ever heard. One day I gave Master G. five new silver dollars, and a few minutes later I saw him throw them all into the Passaic River. “What did you do that for?’ I asked him, feeling a little vexed. “T wanted to see if the eagles could swim,” he made answer. Of course the joke was so good that I could not chastise him for the act. I have saved in my mind and on paper many more of his funny expressions which I will send if desired. Paterson, N. J.

Notwithstanding that it is difficult to keep the wolf from the door, I am always springing funny things. However, I never studied how to write humor, as I have not had the time, being a motorman on a trolley car. But it has occurred to me that if I could sell the fruits of my brain I should be justified in doing so, as no man’s job on the railroad is certain nowadays. If we run over any one we are discharged instantly, without being given another chance. Now, the twing to which I referred are very much given to bawling.
