BITTEN Bt | MAD OG John Seyon’s Hand Gnawed by the Animal. PANIC ON MAIN’ STREET. THE BRUTE CAUSED A STAMPEDE AND ONE MAN PROVED A VICTIM, TREATED AT THE DISPENSARY. Dr. Kearney Cauterized the Wound and Told the Patient If Inflam- mation Set In Amputation Would Be Necessary. A big cur dog, snapping and snarling, his tongue protruding and froth coming from his mouth as he zigzagged from one side of the street to the other, terrorized persons in the vicinity of Levee and Main streets soon after 7 o’clock Monday. Men, women and children ran indoors as they saw the brute coming, and hundreds of voices called loudly for a policeman or someone to shoot the animal. John Sevon, a laborer, living at 601 South Main street, heard the warning voices and looked back to see the snapping cur close at his heels. He started to run, but the brute seized him by the right hand. He turned and a desperate fight followed. The toe of his heavy shoe almost shattered the dog’s ribs, yet the dog held on. Several men ran up with sticks and beat tie animal away. Biting right and left the dog put his adversaries to filght and went yelping down the street. What became of the animal Sevon did not stay to see, but hastened to the City Dis- pensary. Dr. Kearney cauterized the mu- tilated hand and advised Sevon that if im flammation set in despite the strong anti- dotes he should not hesitate to have the hand amputated, as the dog certainly had rabies, TALKS OF A FROG TRUST. Charles C. Sprague’s Plan for Using Old Quarry Ponds. ‘‘Tl’m opposed to trusts in a general way,”’ said Charles C, Sprague, ‘“‘but I’ve a good mind to form a frog trust right here in St. Louis.’’ ‘‘A frog trust?’’ “Sure thing. Have you never noticed the quargy ponds in this town actually going to waste.” : “There are a few of them.” “A few! I should say there were. And not one earns its salt. What I propose to do is to lease them for a song, fence them in with high board fences, stock them with pullfrogs and fat them for the market.

LONDON, Nov. 29.—Mr. Sydney James Low, the retiring editor of the St. Jamas Gazette, who was entertained at dinner on Saturday last by the most representative gathering of English newspaper men that has been seen in recent years, starts for America in January on a tour of the world.

Nothing of more human interest could be told than the ex- periences of the brave and hardy men who have set out to rescue the 265 whalers bound in frigid fetters in the Bering Sea, near Point Barrow. The whole world will watch the progress of the Bear toward the starving men she goes to feed, to save. Never before did men set out to reach Point Barrow at this season of the year— in winter, Of course the Bear could not make her way through the ice fields that imprison the whalers. Capt.

Tuttle find at Point Bar- row? That the relfef expedition arrived in time to save the lives of the starving whalers or that they had succumbed to hunger and cold? Seven American vessels with thelr crews are locked in the ice there. Every brave man and every pitying wom- an will echo Secretary Gage’s last words in his letter of instructions to the captain of the Bear: “Mindful of the arduous expedition upon which you are about to enter, I bid you, your officers and men, Godspeed upon your errand of mercy, and wish you a sugcessful voyage and safe return,” . PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Noy. 29.—The revenue cutter Bear was here all day yesterday taking on chandlery. An anchor weighing 3,000 pounds was taken aboard. A great many articles belonging to the cutter, but not needed on her relief voyage, were taken ashore and stored in the United States Custom-house. All gal- aries and wages which have accumulated since the Bear returned from Bering Sea were pald to the officers and men and every man aboard except the watchman had shore leave last night. ‘As a result of this winter’s work in Bering Sea, I hope,” said Capt. Tuttle, “to throw eome light on the ice subject by the time I return.” He then added, significantly: “As far as steam and sail will drive the Bear to the noerthward she will go.” Samuel Ww.

f “ in =k » ae OR we mee FUT ON THE THEATER TRUST “HAS OPENED: NE YORK. _—-— United States Marshals Will Run the Casino Performance To-Night. Six Theatrical Speculators Combined and Acquired Control of the Principal Theaters and Many of the Leading Actors and Dramatic Attractions of the United States. THE Bla SIA: Frohman, Hayman, Nirdlinger, Zimmertnan, Erlanger, Have K law. Nat Goodwin Leads a Revolt of the Stars Against the Gigantic Combine, and the Question Is Now in the Courts. Special to the Post-Dispatch. , NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—United States Marshals will be in control of the Casino to-night and for the first time in American history a theatrical performance will be given under Gevernment guardianship. It is the beginning of a bitter fight against the theatrical trust, of which the new Century and the Olympic 6f St. Louis are members. Six theatrical speculators have combined and. have acquired control of the principal theaters and many of the heading actors and dramatic attractions of the United States. They own, or operate, fifty of the big thea- ters; they control the bookings of seventeen other, theaters. Outside of this ‘‘theatrical trust’ there are only about seventeen im- portant theaters and about four leading at- tractions. No theatrical. manager who refuses to submit to the dictation of these six men can float. No star who defies them can pos- _sibly get advantageous terms for a twenty- week tour in a season of forty weeks. The sextet that has thus captured the drama is made up of Charles Frohman of New York, Al Hayman of San Francisco, New York and St. Louis; Sam Nirdlinger (Nixon) of Philadelphia, T. Fred Zimmer- enan of Philadelphia, Abraham Erlanger of New York and Marc Klaw of Louisville and New York. Charles Frohman ts the Napoleon of the trust; He produces 50 per cent of all the good attractions that are put on the Amer- ican stage. Hayman is the shrewd, calcu- lating business manager. Nixon and Zim- merman are the speculative capitalists in the scheme, Klaw and Erlanger are the booking agents. Al. Hayman and Abraham Erlanger are credited with organizing the trust. They first got the theaters into an agreement to work together and then announced to the stars not already fh their employ that they must play in ay houses, at trust per- centages and when the trust saw fit to book them. or they would be shut out; if they played tn the -independent outlawed houses the trust would send into town counter at- tractions to split up business. Nat Goodwin headed a revolt of stars. With him were Francis Wilson, the Bosto- nian&4, Fanny Davenport, Minnie Maddern” Fiske and a few others. ‘Goodwin was won over by a long engagement at the Knickerbocker in this city, and now Wilson, Mrs. Fiske, James A. Herne (Shore Acres), and Frank Daniels are the only independent stars in America. There are nine semi-independent’ stars, who, While they play in some of the trust the- aters, haye not come wholly under its con- trol. They are Willard, Mantell, May Ir- win, Mansfield, James O’Nefi], Margaret Mather, Louis James, Otis Skinrier and Oliver Byron. Every other reputable pany is in the trust.

Upon a motion made Saturday before Judge Lacomb in the United States Circuit Court by Col. ¢. attorneys for e Fifth Avenue Opera Company, a company backed by $10,000,000, a peremptory: order was handed down which the trust is robbed of its pawer to commit further wrong in this instance. to-day and at night a strong force of Uni- ted States Deputy Marshals will°appear at the Casino in connection with the injunc- tions embraced itn the order. Persons armed with proper legal authority will, if necessary, direct the stage hands in the proper performance of their work. They will be in the box office as well as upon the stage; they will be distributed in the auditorium and will be in the lobby and about the entrances of the theater. The actions of the trust, as outlined in the sworn affidavits presented to Judge La- camb, first to prevent the Opera Company from playing at the Ca- sino and afterwards to drive it from the stage there, are extraordinary. The revela- figures collected may well astonish those who read. They tell that even the artistic element of theatrical life—all but a smal] fraction of {t—has become subservient to a eminence and held in sentimental -regard by the public are nothing more than em- ployes of these men. into a contract on Oct. 9 last with | sino, by which the opera company agreed Fifth Avenue | ! | ON THE STAND Says Guldensuppe’ Was Killed by Mrs. Nack.

He gave Gotha some pawn tickets and made an appointment to meet him the following night. Thorn kept the appointment and was arrested. Dur- ng his conversations with Capt. O'Brien, Thorn said he told the detective some truths and some falsehoods. During the time he was giving this direct testimony Thorn looked directly at the jury. He spoke ’iclearly and distinctly, although at times his voice dropped to a rather low tone. He used very good English with only a slight trace of a German accent. His direct examination lasted three-quarters of an hour. Surrogate Weller conducted the cross-examination. ROBBED AT LEBANON, MO But the “Fly Cops” of St. Louis Found Men and Plunder.

QUEER RULE OF THE ASSISTANT PROSECUTING ATTORNEY IN SUCH CASES. A POLICEMAN TO THE RESCUE. Little Lotta Hire’s Assailant Was Caught, but thé Worst Punish- ment Was 4 Folice Court Sentence. ‘ David Binés was fined $500 by Judge Stev- enson, Monday, for assaulting Lottie Hire, 11 years old, in a vacant lot at Eighth and Biddle streets, Sunday afternoon. Bines’ eScane from the chances of a sen- tence equal to that given Jamés Scales, the negro charged with the same crime, is due to a rule of Assistant Prosécuiing Attorney Johnson to issue no warrants in such cases unless it can be shown that the little vic- tim has actually. suffered physically from the assault, as well as mentally. In his office of Assistant Prosecuting At- torney, Col. Johnson exercises the functions of judge and jury, and his refusal to act fn cases like Bines’ results in the culprit being sent to the police court, which has power to send a man to the Work-house for one year at the limit. That Bines did not subject little Lotta Hire to the indignities suffered by I'ttle Katharine Fisse at the hands of Scaggs Was due only to the chance presence of rolice- man James Kennedy in the neighborhood, The little girl was on her way from Sun- day-school when accosted by Bines. She testified that he offered her a nickel and asked her to accompany him to a wagon in a distant part of the lot. Innocent of the man’s intention the child went with him. Patrolman Kennedy, who was standing on the opposite corner, saw Bines approach the wagon and lift his helpless victim into it. Suspecting the man’s purpose the officer rushed over with revolver in hand. Just then he heard the chiid’s screams. sonnedy & timely arrival prevented the as- sault, When he gaw the officer Bines leaped from the wagon and darted across the lot. The officer fired a shot in the air and com- manded the man to halt. The order was promptly obeyed. Meanwhile a iarge crowd had gathered and when they learned the cause of arrest threatened to lynch the prisoner. The po- liceman called severa] citizens to his as- sistance and managed to keep the infuriated mob in check until the arrival of the patrol wagon. Bines was locked up at the Fourth Dis- trict Station. In the Second District Police Court Monday he pleaded not guilty, but the evidence against him was so overwhelm- ing that he refused to make a statement. In announcing h’s deciston, Judge Ste venson said the ease should have been brought before a higher court, so that the prisoner could be punished with a long term in the penitentiary. He assessed the high- est fine possible on the charge preferred. Lotta Hire is a daughter of John Hire, a barber at 822 O'Fallon street. “My only regret,’ said Mr. Hire Monday, ‘fs that I was not présent When Bines was arrested, There would have been no need of a trial to-day.

The Court’s Kind Heart Is Softened Toward Mrs. Lind. Earnest Lavins, a bricklayer, fiving at 1547 North Second street, was locked up at the Fourth District station Sunday after- noon charged with disturbing the peace of his neighbor, Mrs. Lind, and her children. After the arrest Mrs. Lind appeared at the station to file her complaint, and was made a prisoner on cross charges preferred by Lavins. He was accused of striking one of Mrs. Lind’s children. The mother interfered, and it is said gave Lavins a severe thrash- ing. Mrs. Lind carried in her arms a 17-months- old baby. She had no friend to bail her out, There Was no one to care for the child, and the mother with her infant ocecu- pied a damp and gloomy cell all night.

It is “Scully’s” fault that two score blue- coats and four detectives. are. searching North St. Louis and the levee. They are searching for him, rank. or “Scully,” as he is best known to the police, a bellever in the much-abused ola axiom, “‘better the day better the deed,” chose Sunday to rob Henry Brockhoff’s gorcery at 1428 North Market street. He chose as his confederates John Lammering and Joe Werner. Both have met Capt. Phillips. Lammering and Werner were to do sentry duty on the pavement while “Scully” con- ducted operations from the store’s rear. At 10:30 p. m. the sentries were posted. So were Patrolmen Garvey and Szramlek, be- hind a tree box at the southeast corner of Blair avenue and North Market street. Suddenly Abring rushed from the rear of the grocery. He he gavea low cry of alarm and sped down North Market street. The sentinals took. out Blair avenue, while the police put off in pursuit of “Scully. The officers gained rapidly onthe boy. They called upon him to halt. He darted into an alley, and as the bluecoats followed let go two shots, right in their faces. The aim was poor, but the shots stunned the of- ficers. ‘‘Scully’’ got‘a fresh start. foth policemen pulled their revolvers and eight bullets sped down the narrow alley: “Seully’’ dodged every one. At Fourteenth and Monroe streets Abring let his pursuers have three more shots, which tore the mortar from the walls close to the policemen’s heads. He ducked into another alley and got away. The usually quiet neighborhood was thor- oughly aroused by the shooting, and citizens with wenupons in hands rushed into the street. The patrolmen soon had a score of armed men searching back yards. Monday Capt. Phillips put a special detail of the work of rounding up ‘‘Scully” and his gang. SECOND TRIAL OF LUETGERT. Defense Objected to Judge Gary and Held a Consultation. CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—The second trial of Adolph L. Luetgert for the murder of his wife was called before Judge Gary to-day. The big sausagemaker was represented by ex-Judge Lawrence Harmon and Attorney Max Riese, Attorney Phalen having with- drawn from the case yesterday after a heated interview with Luetgert and the new lawyers. The court-room was packed with specta- tors when the court was called to order. Most of the session was taken up by Mr. Harmon in arguing that Judge Gary should not try Luetgert on the ground that he was not qualified to sit as a criminal judge. Judge Gary overruled the motion of the defense, intimating, however, that he Was willing that some other judge should sit in the case providing counsel for the de- fense could come to an agreement with the prosecution as to who should hear it. At- torneys Harmon and Riese held a consul- tation this afternoon with State’s Attorney Deneen, with the object of deciding on some other judge to héh&r the case.

From the evidente’ adduced at the Coro- ner’s inquest Monday morning the plot to poison and kill Géorge W. Taylor,. colored, for his insurance, was of a most deliberate character, persistently, but bunglingly, exe- cuted. arsenic and he did it Hke a schoojboy. W:tnesses testified that Shackelford made three attempts to kill Taylor by poison, ihe last one being successful. Ethel Gibbons of Chestnut street testified that she was poisoned by drinking carbolic acid in whisky in Taylor’s room three weeks ago. She Shackelford presénted the whisky to Taylor. She became slightly sick but was relieved by a doctor. Taylor told her that was the second time Shackelford had poisoned him. The carbolis acid was so strong he only took a little and was not seriously affected, The other time he was poisoned, two months ago, he had been sick over a week. This is the story as told at the Inquest. Taylor and his wife, Nettie, quarreled last spring. ‘He then left her and went to 1505 Pine street. She remained at 24 Targee street.

There is nO such address. Shackelford told the doctor all he had to do was sign the burial certificate and eee that the body was shipped without any trouble. Shackelford was to°killl the man. Dr. White gaid he would have nothing tv do with the scheme. Shackelford then asked the doctor to sell him 5 cents worth of arsenic. This the doctor also refused to do and Shackelford, saying he could buy it eomewhere else, left the Office. Dr. White then went out and informed Patrolman John McGrath of his visitor. McGrath and Off'cer Martin O’Brien start- ed out to find the negro. In a half howr Schackelford returned to Dr. White's office and showed him a pack- age of arsenic, and he said: “T guess we'l! do it alone.’’ Dr. White saw nothing more of Shackel- ford until the following Monday, when the negro called again. The doctor said the negro told him he had given the man to be killed all the arsenic he could get on the end of a knife. Shackelford sald it made him sick. Then Shackelford ieft. Dr. White again informed the police. Sunday Shackelford ate breakfast with Taylor He bought tripe for Taylor. Taylor was the only one who ate it.

PARIS, Nov. 29.—Figaro publishes sev- eral letters purporting to have been written by Comte Esterhazy, who has been accused by M. Scheruer-Keatner, one of the Vice- Presidents of the Senate, of being the au- thor of the letter which led to the condem- nation of Dreyfus. In one of them, after expressing his in- tention to enter the Turkish service, Comte Esterhazy is represented as saying: “Il shall not leave without having played a trick of my own on those amiable Frencnh- men.’’ Other passages illustrating the character of the letter follow: “Our cowardly and dgnorant great chiefs will go once more to people German pris- ons.”’ “T should be perfectly happy if I were told I was to be killed to-morrow as a Cap- tain of Uhlans sabering Frenchmen.” “T am capable of great things or crimes if that could avenge me. I would not harm a little dog, but I would have 100,000 Frenci- men killed with pleasure.”’ Comte Esterhazy proceeds to say that “Frenchmen are not worthy of the car- tridges intended to kill them,” and he con- jures up a ‘‘dream of festivity” in the shape of the pillage of Paris by 100,000 drunken soldiers. Interviewed as to the publication in the Figaro, Comte Esterhazy displayed great indignation and declared that they were forged by the friends of Ppreyfus, who, he said, had taken words and sentences from his letters and placed them together by a process with which he was acquainted. He Said aiso that he had been warned several days ago that such a publication would be made. _A semi-official note says that Gen. Pel- lieux’s investigation was almost finished, but that he will now examine into the au- thenticity of these letters. Then he will act with absolute impartiality and see to it that satisfaction is given to army, to justice and to truth, Gen. Pellieux interrogated Col. Picquart, who was summoned from Tunis in connec- tion with the Dreyfus affair, and whose Statements were reported to be the basis of the accusations originally made against Comte Esterhazy. In a letter referring to an actress, Comte Esterhazy is represented as writing: ‘I am quite at the mercy of this contemptible creature if I make the slightest mistake toward her. I wish I was in Slam. and could mus- make her follow me there. One of my kets going off, as if by chance, would cure her forever.

ALL CONDITIONS REPRESENTED Week’s Run of Marriage Li- censes Almost Discounted by Day of Di- vorces. Last One eee = OOo One day last week ninety-eight marriage licenses were issued at the Court-house. In the same building to-day more than fifty divorce cases were on trial, Judges Withrow, Klein and Talty put ina long, weariscane day listening to people who had troubles to tell, and who were so un- happily mated as to necessitate the inter- vention of the law. It was impossible to hear all the cases on the docket, but nearly all the plaintiffs were On hand, eagerly listening to the other cases to gather from them some crumbs of consolation and some idea in advance of how their own suits would end. The Judges did not give them much en- couragement, and showed from the very beginning that they would tolerate no non- sense, and that each applicant must prove a good case in order to secure the divorce sought. , Such afl were obtained, however, were clipped off with great rapidity. The plaintiff would tell his or her tale of woe, be fol- lowed by from two to five corroborating witnesses, and then make way for the next case and the next little group of people. The court rooms were crowded to over- flowing by the witnesses and clients, mostly women, of all grades of society, from the working woman, whose husband had beaten and kicked her, to the modestly dressed so- clety woman, who had been deserted, or ill- treated in other ways. The complaints were as various as the suits, although most of them were for gen- eral abuse and desertions. In Judge Klein’s court the following pet sons had complaints to make! John Keller wanted a divorce from Jennie Keller, allas Frankie Melline, Hig story was short, but gave him ample grounds for divorce. He said he was mar- ried on the 7th day of October, 1891. Six months before the filing of his petition to the February term, 189;, he says his wife took the name of Frankie Melline and went fo live in a disreputable house on Pop- lar street. There were no children. Caroline Schlenker married William Schlenker April 19, 1893, in St. Louis. She had been married but a giort time when she discovered her mistake, Her husband was a drunkard, she says, and from the dav of their marriage to the day of separa- tion he refused to provide her with the means of livelihood. When the child was born thelr affairs became even worse. She was compelled to sue for divorce and to ask the court to grant her an order upon her husband to pay the costs of her case. The baby is 3 vears old. Mina Hubert !s a long-suffering wife and waited ten years after leaving her hus- band, John H. Hubert, before suing divorce.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LIBERTY, Mo., Nov. 2..—William Carr. who drowned his little child, Belle, and is under sentence to hang Dec. 17, tried to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of pounded glass. Although two hypo- dermic injections were administered, Carr failed to vomit the stuff and it is not yet known what the result will be. The coun- ty physician thinks he will recover. It appears that Carr had stolen a bottle of medicine from a fellow prisoner, spilled the contents on the floor and pounded the bottle into small particles. These he drank in a glass of water.

The St. Louis City Jailis nothing but a great animal cage—a tiger house on a large scale. It seems to have been planned rather for animals than human beings. With its big “bull-pen’ and gallerles of cells it could easily be turned into a show place for a circus, including the menage- rie. What the city wants is a prison for human beings that shall as far as possible reform instead of bDrutalizing them. In this line the recommendations of the October Grand Jury ought to be produc- tive df some improvements. The most im- portant change suggested is the separa- tion of.the women and children prisoners from the men. The Grand Jury makes feeveral other valuable suggestions, but this is the most vital need. As long as we place young boys in a jail like this; where they become part of a huge criminal fam- ily, in intimate contact at certujn times, we are helping to make more permanent criminals to become a burden and a menace to the city. It ought to be possible, even without building new wings, to provide for the women and children separately. A parti- tion wall and special means of entry and egress would accomplish this much. We shall, of course, be. confronted with. the statement that there is no money to im- prove the jail. But this slight improve- ment would not be costly. And it would at once place a number of women and children away from an influence for evil whose power cannot be measured. The reproach of the present condition of the jail must be removed from St. Louls. re — ep If there is a skeleton in the White House it must be that of a starved Cu- ban. ee ~ — ——“§----- -—— ~_ _--— Fa FAMISHED GOLD HUNTERS. at hike faming outlook for the miners} son City tne @xpected has hap- pened. Warning after warning against the rush into Alaska during the winter season was published in the Post-Dis- patch and other newspapers, but despite the repeated warning a host of ill-sup- plied fortune hunters took the slim chances of surviving the winter. The Canadian officials seem to have taken the only possible step to prevent accumulated horrors at Dawson City by ordering those with insufficient supplies to gO down the river to Yukon, where supplies are more abundant and where there is still hope of getting fresh sup- plies. But transference to Yukon does not as- sure the safety of these foolish pilgrims. Prompt action should -be taken to stave _ off famine during the winter months. It is probable that in most cases the re- lief supplied only need be in the form of advances against the mining profits next summer. ———_ a -- 9a ——- -— It is possible that Count Esterhazy das brains and discretion enough to play the traitor, but there is no indication of either in his letters. AS A A Ee ae MRS. MERSY’S FATE. Chris Merry was a wife-beater. He fined $50 for it by the court. He then swore, in court,‘ it is said, to kill the woman. He went home and kicked and beat hor to death. Her body has been fouad, covered with brulses, but Merry is still at large. This is a Chicago trag- edy, but with such legal protection for women, it is a tragedy that might be repeated anywhere. ining a wife-beater does not appear to be a very good way to punish him or protect the wife. In most cases the fine eimply means a jail or work-house sen- tence, which for the time takes from the wife her means of livelihood, Meanwhile, the city or State provides food and lodg- ing for the wife-beater. The woman must ehift for herself and perhaps starve. If the whipping post is not to be re- eorted to for wife-beaters, at least the fine imposed ought to be paid over to the injured wife, if the man has the money to pay it. And if he has to work it out, Why not have the laws provide that a wage be allowed for his labor, to be paid to the wife during his confine- ment? And in every case he ought to be under the strictest surveillance of the police. The wife should be protected, re- gardiess of the weakness which often leads her to condone the crime of the brutal husband. The producers of 4-ceygt cotton will be delighted to pay the high tariff tax on guch woolen: goods as they may need. —_——_— oO - - STORIES OF REAL MEN. The stories of men and women, of their passions, weaknesses, strength, failures and accomplishments, which the Sunday Post-Dispatch has printed, have been an inspiration to its contemporaries, but they have missed the point of ‘the les- Bon. Every story in the Sunday Post-Dis- patch of yesterday was about real, living persons and real deeds, Every story was new. Every stery was as brief as its facts warranted: being neither marred by over-condensation nor padded by the oe sertion of frivolous matter. No lights 0 human interest were met no points of human sympathy neglected. The story of the bookseller of Dallas, who was one day the friend of Maximil- ian and the esquire of the mad Carlotta, was filled with the romance that appeals to the adventurous soul in every home- keeping body. It was not bald reminis- cence, not history as she fs taught in ve schools—a bare matter of names an dates—it was a moving picture of a fas- cinating episode which wrecked the tunes of many and reduced the man who tells the tale from the height of court honor to the pleasant plane of bookseller in a Texas city. The story of Robert Mowery, 4 tor who for sixteen years let th Zo by that he might complete one thought and realize it in wood and steel, Was an epitome of all stories that tell of men’s struggles to do something worth their having lived. It was as pathetic as the tale which Henry Newman told to swell the fund for the Confederate Sol- diers’ Home; as uplifting as the tale of that Texas child ho, blind, deaf and dumb, taught herself to know the world about her: as inspiring as the optimism of Bobby Ralston, the Lilliputian in this Brodignagian land, who laughs at him- self and makes the world laugh with him.

How Leading Of the 3,19 complete water-works in the United States, 1,690, or more than one-half, are owned by the municipalities which they supply. In Canada there are 109 public and thirty-five private plants. Under municipal control Des Moines, Io., has reduced water rates to consumers about 40 per cent. New York’s revenue from the city water works since the introduction of Croton water in 1842 aggregates $82,248,083. Of the fifty largest cities in the United States, only nine are now dependent upon private companies for the'r water supply. Two hundred cities and towns have changed from private to public ownership since the war. Massachusetts leads all other States in her preference for public over private Ow- nership of water-supply plants. She has 113 public, but thirty-eight private works. St. Louls has a total street mileage of 8956 miles, not counting alleys. Of this mile- age 399 miles are “improved.” Of these 399 miles 70.46 were swept by contractors last year, at a cost of $1,012.23 per mile. A lit- tle over six miles were cleaned by the block patrol system, at a cost of $4,138.92 per mile. New York appropriates per mile, for street cleaning, $7,500; Chicago, 31.282; Bos- ton, $2,400: Paris, $2,519; Berlin, $5,185; Vienna, $4,359. The average amount of garbage collected per individual in Boston, Buffalo, Cincin- nati, St. Louis and Philadelphia is a half & pound a day. New York receives from the saie of its street refuse $90,000 cash each year. The old fron recovered is worth $5,200; broken glass, $1,700; old bottles, about $55,000. Steam dust carts, for the collection of street and house refuse, have been put in service at Chiswick, England. it is esti- Cities of the World Perform Various Public Services for Their Citizens. mated that a net saving of $250 per an- num is effected on cach cart vver wagons drawn by animals. The city of Paris obtains most of the material used in paving its stone-paved streets from quarries owned by the mu- nicipality. Some of the streets of Sydney, Australia, are paved with mahogany blocks dipped in creosote, The average price per square yard of asphalt pavements laid during 1896 in the United States, on a basis of five years guaranty, was $2.30. Mr. F. W. Cappelien, City Engineer of Minneapolis, says that with municipal ownership of plants, the cost with California and Utah asphaits could be $1.45 per square yard, and with European asphalts $1.50 per square yard. The “Improvement Trust” of the city of Glasgow, a branch of the municipal gov- ernment, has expended $11,000,000 in clear- ing eighty-eight acres of densely-populated slum districts and erecting thereon model dwellings. Nearly 14,000 lives have been saved in the last four years in New York by improved sanitation. The death rate has been re- duced from 27.3 in 1893 to 20.2 in 1897. The value to a city of a life saved through better sanitation is estimated at $1,000 for each adult saved. All the large European cities have sta- tistical offices, which publish facts and fig- ures on every branch of city work. There are forty-five social settlements in American eities, engaged in bringing cuit- ure and enlightenment to the sium-dwell- ers. The total acreage of the parks in and near London, accessible to Londoners, is 22,000 acres. an NOT SELF-INFLICTED. Mulqueen: And where did you get that black eye?

The fifty women within the walls never leave their chosen home, never speak to one another, never lift their eyes except in prayer or work and walk with their black cowls drawn over their faces go that they can neither see nor be seen. They are living, yet dead—year in and year out they exist, never raising ‘their eyes. The silent sisters rise at 4a. m. and till 7:30 tell their beads in the chapel. The re- fectory is dark, gloomy and unheated, In- stead of a floor the feet sink into sand, Each sister has a little drawer where her table-ware is kept. Sometimes while at meals the superior rings a bell and each sister is supposed to pause instantly, with hands -raised to the mouth, perhaps, and cannot move till the bell rings again. This is to inculcate submission and patience. These women, unlike other sisterhoods, do no charity, never attending the sick or suf- fering, teaching children or rescuing way- farers.

HOPKINS'—Continuous. STANDARD—Sam Devere’s Own Companr. “THE WHIRL OF THE TOWN.” Much better than the “Passing Show.” far superior to the ““Merry World” and certainly as good as “In Gay New York” is “The Whirl of the Town,” the fourth ef the an- nual Casino reviews, which opened at the Olympic last evening. New Yorkers, the people for whom the reviews are really built, doubtless consider the Whirl the best of the quartette, inasmuch as it contains more local references and gags than either of its predecessors. Indeed, the Whirl is nothing but a direct traversity upon the personality of certain notable New Yorkers from beginning to end. But that does not prevent the performance from being thor- oughly enjoved: by the provincials. Such artists as Louis Harrison, David Warfield, Theresa Vaughan and Catherine Lingard re acceptable under any circumstances, and when they are backed up by a large company of pretty girls and two or three ballets, brilllant acenery and dazzling cos- tumes it is an easy matter to accomplish the aim of the managers, the librettest and the composer of “The Whirl of the Town,” which, supposedly, is to entertain and amuse. The satire of the librettist is di- rected at the vitiated taste of New York theater goers. Louis Harrison as Jerry Flipflap, the character a burlesque upon Oscar Hammerstein, announces frankly at the start that the late Henry E. Abbey hav- ing failed to eatisfy New York with high art, he. Flipfap, has etruck the keynote and will @ive the people acrobatic songs and daneés, soubrettes In short skirts, black face comed who smaéh each other over the head wiih a» handles, and flannel-mouth mummers who muet have an interpreter to be utderstood With the assurance that at the firs! symptoms of a plot to the piece he will he ve the gullty actors and actresses arresied for conspiracy, the perfarmance re- solves fteelf into a dashing, rollicking vari- ety show, and the audjence forgets entirely that the piece gave promise at the rise of the curtain to treat of the adventures of a mermaii who had been ewiped from the Battery Park atuarium by a wealthy klep- tomaniac. The etage settings of the first two act# show Broadway in front of Weber & Fields’ music hall, an excellent gas-light view ef Broadway. looking south from — a —_— Forty-third street, and the parterre boxes and promenade in the Metropolitan Opera House. Louis Harrison's Flipflap is done in the customary Harrisonian way. War- ficld is artistically funny as a detective who has a given number of disguises to take on 'before he can recover the mermaid. Of course he does the Hebrew specialty which earned him his reputation. Miss Theresa Vaughn hasn’t been seen in this part of the country for some time, and the wel- come she received last night must have grat- ified her. She is a remarkably sweet mer- maid and Willie Badboy, the kleptomaniac, is not to be blamed for stealing her. Cath- erine Linyard as Evangeline’ Earlybird, queen of Upper Broadway, who eats her breakfast at 9 p. m., looks a beauty, dresses her prima donna powers. Louis Wesley, as a tough barkeeper, is immensely amusing. Dorothy Drew, a little rounder and wider than when she used to do splits and dance ina French quadrille, and prettier for that matter, executes several graceful steps anda helps to make the stage picture pretty. Mile. Catherine Bartho, the premier of the pallet, has youth and good looks all on her side and dances most acceptably. The Whirl of the Town is all right. There is but one grievance against the management. Why did it take Dan Daly out of the cast, and, especially, why did it supplant him with Mr. Simms? --—O--— “Northern Lights,”’ an excellent romantic play, dealing with life at the Western military posts, opened at Havlin's yester- day for a week's run.

The stock com- pany in Bronson Howard's “Young Mrs. Winthrop’ was the attraction, with the Martinnetti family of acrobats as a vau- deville number thrown in for good measure. The Winthrops found sympathetic audienees rejoiced that the finish was not a divorcee with a sincerity noticed only when the audi- ence is hearing a company of established favorites. Miss Bateman was the young Mrs. | Winthrop, and Coulter Brinker was the hus- band in the case. Beaumont Smith as Bux- ton Scott was at his best and Miss Fannie McIntyre as Mrs, Chetwyn had a valuable opportunity to increase her popularity with the Imperial following. Miss Almosnino’s Edith was an enjoyable bit of acting. The stage settings shown in “Young Mrs. Winth- rop’’ are among the handsomest Manager Gumpertz has yet presented.

Playing Fast and Loose With the United States on the Tariff. WASHINGTON, D. CC, Nov. pauthorities have been informed that France, while ostensibly engaged in nego- tiations with this Government for a re- ciprocity treaty, fs taking steps to place a prohibitory tariff upon some American products. The State Department has heen notified that a bill is pending In the legisla- tive assembly of France jim ing a high duty upon certain products which will prac- tically make that country a closed market so far as the United States is concerned. Ambassador Porter undoubtedly will be directed to make an earnest protest against the measure. This bill may cause the authorities here to go slowly in negotiations for the re- ciprocity agreement. The department has received no reply to its proposition tha in exchange for a lower tari 1 on French wines the French Government shall remov the prohibition against the importation o American cattle.

Campbell on the Subject. eas emeiienen A night school for the education of po- licemen has been opened in Chicago and will continue through the winter. The ob- ject of the schoo] is to thoroughly post the officers On all matters pertaining to police business and give them a general knowl- edge of Federal and State laws and city or- dinances. Recitations are held in the pre- cinct station-houses. When asked if he did not think such a school could be opened to good powers here, Gen. Lewis, Vice-President of Board of Police Commissioners, replied in the negative. “In the first place,”’ he said, “we already have a school. As soon as a man is ap- pointed on the police force he is required to attend a schooi of instruction for a month or two. He is ordered to study a police man- ual which contains all the rules of the de- partment and gives him general information on police business. He is examined fre- — by a competent officer detailed for at purpose. “Again, our men work much longer than those in Chicago. There a policeman is on duty only eight hours a day, and has the Other sixteen hours to himseself.- Here he works twelve hours at a stretch, and when off duty feels more like sleeping than going to school, “There is one thing, though, that I am in favor of,”’ he continued, “‘and that is es- tablishing some sort of a school where po- licemen can be taught to shoot with some degree of accuracy. and I intend soon to Start a regular course of target practice among the men.,”’ When asked for his opinion Chief of Po- lice Harrigan advanced the same ideas as those of Gen, Lewis. Capt. John Campbell of the Sixth District said that if the force was large enough to warrant the eight-hour system here, he thought a school that would instruct the officers regarding the Stace laws, city or- dinances and general police business, would be of inestimable benefit to the department. He woukd also strongly advocate that the men be required to practice regularly at target shooting and to exercise with Indian clubs and in running. “Why I know men on the force,” he sald, “that cannot run two blocks without getting winded. What chance has such a man to catch a thief it he gets a little the start‘ ONLY ONE VETERAN LEFT. oo a Almond E. Marsh Fought Mexico Un- der Gen. Scott. Almon E. Marsh, one of the last remain- ing veterans of the Mexican war, died Sun- day night after thirteen months of suffering and iliness. He’was a life long citizen of St. Louts and was 86 vears old.

HIS PENMANSHIP PERFECT, Arrested in the Hopkins Gallery om Complaint of a Ragged Bootblack by Officer Driscoll. Sidney Hanisee, with forgery. This charge is one rarely placed against is race. Policeman Driscoll of the Central District arrested Hanisee in the gallery at Hopk'ns’ Theater It is alleged that Hani- see forged the name of J. D. Hopkins, James Butler and other theatrical managers to theater passes. He kept a stock of these passes on hand, it is charged, and sold them to the unsophis- ticated. Hanisee is the proprietor of a bootblack stand in the Court-house. He is 2 years old. His home ts in Vicksburg, but he has been in St. Louis several months. Around the Court-house he is known as a shrewd negro, He says h'is mother is a mulatto and his father a Russian Jew. The supposed penmanship of the accused negro wuuld do credit to any book-keeper cet “ye Louls. His spelling is proper. He is g of tongue and boasts make a living under any = peace. = Hanisee’s arrest was due to a mere acc!- dent. Officer Driscoll was Standing at the entrance to Havlin’s Theater Sunday after - . 7 ~~ gocuss oe by the name ounble tendered a ] was refused admission. ~ t me see that pass,” said the officer. The boy said he had bought the pass from Hanisee. Then the policeman took the youth with himand madea search for the negro. He was found at the Hopkins, and was taken from there to the Four Courts. Hanisee denied the charge placed against him. While undergoing t e sweating pro- cess he gave several specimens of his pen- ——% 3 These specimens looked very much like the writing in the passes. Monday morning application was made for a warrant. Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Johnson took the case under advise- ment, pending further investigation. he passes were written on blank leaves sf a note book. In Hanisee’s pocket was a Tete book with several leaves torn out, The size of the leaves and the quality of papel, tallied. Bonds Called In. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov.

SWIFT CURRENT AND DARKNESS BOATS LOWERED, BUT THE DROWNED WOMAN DID NOT COME TO THE SURFACE. SAW HER DOOM AND SHRIEKED. The Stern of the Ferryboat Was in the Stream and the Current Gave the Body a Sudden Outshoot. Men armed with hooks and grappling irons worked all day Monday around the place where the body of Mrs. Martha Smith of Granfte City, Ill., disappeared in ¢he Mississippi Sunday evening. irs. Smith spent the day with her daugh- ' Mrs. Kelley, at 1815 North Tenth street, d started for home immediately after yper. With her were Frank Schultz, } Montgomery street, her son John, and es Rose Laht, also of Granite City, 1en the little party reached the ferry ding, foot of North Market street, the t was getting under headway for a re- a to the Ulinois side. The bow had ing out, but the stern was close against landing when Mrs, Smith ran on the form, . znaling the party to come on, the aged lady put out her foot to step upon the boat. At that instant the boat caught the current, and swinging about sharply, the stern cleared the plier. Mrs. Smith saw the danger too late to recover her equilibrium. With a cry she plunged into the water before the eyes of a dozen helpless spectators. The ferryboat was stopped and a smal] boat lowered, while four or five skiffs shot out from the shore. The current of the Mississippi is strong and swift at the foot of North Market street. Darkness had fallen over the river. The searchers were almost helpless. Those who watched from the ferry land- ing say that Mrs. Smith did not come to the surface a second time, They believe she fainted and her body was whirled out into midstream. She was 54 years old and very prominent in church and charity circles in the little lllinois town, where she made her home.

OLD MAN’S DANGER SIGNAL. —_e— SAYS HE HAS NO FEAR BUT THE PARTY WILL INDORSE HIS ACTION. WAR ON THE TAX-DODGERS. i That’s What He Terms His Campaign and Says the Weak Point to Attack Is That of Pie Distribution. Ex-Congressman John P. Tracey of Spring- field, Mo., and C, F, Gallenkamp of Union, Franklin County, had a protracted inter- view with Chauncey I. Filley Monday morn- ing. C. A. Loomis of Chilicothe was in town, but his face was not set in the direction uf the mosque. Col. Tracey has long been considered one of the old man's shrewdest leaders in the Southwest. Lawyer, journalist and, politi- clan, he knows more persons and has more friends than any of the Filley followers. His last office was that of United States Marshal for the Western District. Mr. Gallenkamp is a member-at-large of the State Republican Committee, Mr. Loomis is an ex-candidate for Congress, and is down in Mr, Filley’s book as “a leperous apos- tate,’’ whatever that is. ‘I came down to see Chauncey for an hour or two,’”’ said Col, Tracey, “and am going back home this evening.’ ‘Whose side are you on now asked. ‘‘Nary side. I am fighting the Democrats. They have troubles of their own, and it has never seemed to hurt them any. Our little contests are matters which have not weak- ened us in the past, for we are growing all the time, and there is no danger of being split up the back because some of us are divided on incidental and personal affairs. I did not know Gallenkamp was here, ani I haven't seen him.” The war against Mr. Filley goes merrily on. At a méeting of the Central League Club Sunday afternoon E. L. Pelton intro- duced a series of resolutions declaring: Whereas, Mr. Chauncey Ives Filley, Chairman of the State Republican Committee, bas. over his own signature, caused to be published in certain Democratic newspapers of this city arti- cles which, if true, are calculated to reflect dis- honor upon not only the present, but previous Republican administrations; and, Whereas, We believe the country has best prospered under Republican administrations, and that said articles are un-Republican, unwise and in no way calculated to assist the cause of ek Sager wages in Missouri, and that they ut- terly unfit Mr. Filley for the high position of honor which be now holds in its ranks; there- fore, be it Resolved, That the Central League Club heart- {ly indorses the action of the seventeen mem- bers of the State Republican Committee in de- nouncing as scandalous and un-American said accusations, and commend them for their noble stand in defense of the party ef Lincoln, Grant, Gartield and McKinley. With reported enthusiasm the resolutions were unanimously adopted, followed by speeches in a similar strain from E, A, Gray, Prof. J. B. Lott and E. L. Hamlin. But Mr. Filley is apparently not caring a cent. He says: ‘I was never an applicant for the chalir- manship of the State Committee, It came to me from the State Convention of my party, unsought, and only a State conven- tion can depose me. In the meantime I am trying to do my duty by hanging out dan- ger signals against those who are doing their utmost to destroy the party organiza- tion in M_ssouri. “They say I am talking too much about ?” he was A FOOT BALL FREE with every | Reefer or Overcoat sold. MILLS & AVERILL, Broadway and Pine, Wheat of New South Wales. SYDNEY, New South Wales, Nov. 29.— An unofficial estimate places the wheat yield of New South Wales at 11.000,000 bushels, and it is anticipated that the ex- portable surplus of wheat from Australasia will be 5,000,000 bushels. patronage. I have to. Its the only issue they can comprehend. Its the thing they are dealing in. I have nothing to ask. Don't want anything and don’t care who gets the offices. I simply don’t propose, as Chairman of the State Committee, to sit idly by and see my party sold out to a lot of tax- dodgers and professional pie-distributors, who have no use for the party except to milk it. “As for these alleged fulminations against me by some members of the State Commit- tee, I know how they were obtained and who obtained them. Take Rauchenstetn of Clayton, for instance.
