~——PRIESMEVER WINS OUT. Directors Named by Him Elected to the Ex. Board. NOW HE WILL TAKE A REST. WISHES TO HAVE STRINGENT AC- COUNTS RENDERED, INSTEAD OF BRIEF STATEMENTS. WHAT THE DIRECTORS SAY. — oo Will Do as the Stockholders Wish in the Matter—Reference tc a Five Thousand-Dollar Present, The Priesmeyer faction of the Exposition stockholders elected two members of the Board of Directors Tuesday. They were Her- man A. Haeussler and Henry Arnold. R. M. Scruggs and L. D. Kingsland of the old board were re-elected, There was no fight on the Priesmeyer can- didates. Only four directors were to be re- elected. D. M. Houser and L. Methundy of the old board refused to be candidates, and no names.were substituted to oppose the Priesmeyer candidates. W. H. Priesmeyer considers the election of his candidates a victory. He said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Wednesday morning: “T never claimed anything was wrong, but I do maintain that the stockholders have a right to know just what is being done. For ten years no report was issued. The first report was issued in 189%. It_is all in lump sums. There Js in one line ‘re- ceipts from ten expositions, $1,167,379.31.’ So in disbursements there is the line ‘Expense of ten expositions, $710,652." Then there are the items, ‘Expense of Music Hall, etc., $61,- 103.’ ‘Expense of Entertainment Hall, $3,- 448. ‘Expense of naves and basement, $6,- 612.’ ‘Labor, $100,908.’ “On top of these expenses is ‘General ex- penases, $20,243," and on top of that, ‘Legal expenses, $9,960.’ “The report for 184, the eleventh Exposi- t'on, shows of disbursements: ‘Labor, $12,- O85; sundry expenses, $1,607; expenses of eleventh Exposition, $73,673; expense ac- count art department ninth and tenth Ex- positions, $1,273.69; expemse account enter- tainment in halls and naves, $2,040.96.’ ‘The report of the thirteenth Exposition fn 1896 shows: ‘Labor, $12,490; expenses of Sunday .concerts, $2,284; general expenses, $6,440; balance of @xpenses, twelfth Expo- sition, $54; expenses of thirteenth Expos'!- tion, $76.5440; expenses of halls, $1,948; ex- enses incurred account of Tornado Relief “und, $1,204, “Take the report of the thirteenth Ex- position. Twelve thousand dollars looks like an enormous sum for labor, and then come the expenses of $76,540, which is immense, and on top of it all these other expense accounts, including “general expenses’ of 36,440. “I maintain that the stockholders are en- titied to Know of what these piled up ex- gece consist. I do not say they are not egitimate, but I do say that they shouid net be dismissed with one line. Mr. Me.- thudy told me that I could see the books any time, I haven't time to go to the Ex- position and gogover the books, and no stockholder should be asked to do so. Paper is ea and the report should show for tse jyithe report of the twelfth Exposition how a balance of cash on hand at the be- zinn'ng of $16,452. Dec. 1, 189. there was $23,490. In both these years there are jin- terest charges among the dtsbursements. With money. on hand where do interest charges come in? “In the first report there le the item of machinery, $102,769... Quite a lot of ma- chinery can be got for $100,000. In the re- port for 18% there is the item ‘machinery and fixtures, .$1,418... Every item may be perfectly regular. All I contend is that the stockholders should know more than is con- ta'ned in a single line, “As to presents being given, I .have un- derstood one officer of the Exposition was @iven $5,000. I do not know whether thie is true, but I am-opposed to all such things. Outside of the general manager, it has been supposed that the gwentlemen interested were actuated by a desire to serve the city, and the honor should be sufficient. “The President has a little work to do. A thousand dollars a year would he ample to pay him. Mr. Gaiennie is an excellent man tor the position he fills. Whether he ehould be paid $5,000 a year or not fs a question, J think $3,000 is enough. If the Exposition was making lots of money 1 would say all right, ut as it is I hold that salaries should be gulated by the profits, just as in any busi- Ness enterprise, “I have talked the matter over with Mr. ‘ Haeussiler and Mr. Arnold, They understand just what they are elected to do, and thev Will duubtiess do it. As for myself, I have incurred all the expense and loss of time in beginning th's agitation. Now 1 have done my share, and I will let others do theirs.”’ Mr. Hauessler said: ; “Really I. did not know I was elected til] you told me, I have not looked at the papers yet.

If this is true it is all wrong. If men who pose as public philanthropists get a cash bonus at the end of the year, the facts should be known.” Mr. Arnold said: “I do not charge that anything is wrong.

BROCK STORTS IN TROUBLE. Judge Peabody Investigating Charges Made by a Client. John Broughton, the man who was ar- rested at his home, 1714 South Broadway, Sunday, on complaint of -his wife, who de- clared that he had _ brutally beaten her, caused something of a_ sensation in the First District Police Court Wednesday by lodging with Judge Peabody a complaint against his attorney, Brock Storts, whom he accused of iNegal practices. 3roughton said that ‘the had paid Storts $4 to defend his case. Before the case came to trial, he said, Storts met him on the sidewalk in front of the Four Courts and demanded more movey. Broughton told him he had no more, and Storts, he said, compelled 'him to take off his overcoat and give it to him as additional compensation for his legal services in the case, declaring that if he did not he would see that Broughton was convicted and sent to the Work-house. Broughton said he gave up the coat under compulsion, Judge Peabody fined Broughton $10 on the charge of disturbing the peace, and said that he would investigate the complaint against Storts.

The Examination of Lindell Employes Not Reported Upon. The conductors of the Lindell street rail- Woy system expect to hear Wednesday evening the results of the recent examina- tion to which they were subjected by the company. Motormen and conductors were sum- moned to the Vandeventer avenue car sheds and put through a written examination as to their duties. Fifty questions, taken from the company’s book of rules, were given each man to answer. Prizes of $25, $10 and $% were offered for the best papers in each class. Tuesday afternoon the motormen learned the resuit of their examination. The con- ductors are now expecting theirs. Each correct answer counts 2 per cent, and any man failing to make 40 per cent ‘will be given another examination. If he fails the second time he will be dismissed from the service of the company. As a result the conductors and motormen have been closely studying the rules and regulations of the company. HIS HAND WAS CRUSHED. Painful Accident netting. At the Van Studdiford the police were hoist by their own petard. Detectives Guion Shank, Bambrick and Napton were on hand before the cage was completed, and when the last piece of netting was about to he laced in position and the employes crawled nto the enclosure, Guion shoved two of his men in w.th them. John F. Carr, the pro- prietor, drove out all the patrons and apec- tators and went out himseif, locking the officers and his employes in the room.

ST. LOUISANS WANT TO KNOW. % A BIG STRIKE {8S TALKED OF AND THE “COMBINE” MAY BE THE BENEFICIARIES. MR. FUSZ IS NOW IN MONTANA. Granite Mountain and Bimetallic Men Are Not Saying a Word - About Any Trading of Stock. The directors of the Granite Mountain and Bimetallic Mining companies are not willing to confirm or deny the rumors that the big combination has “unconsciously ab- sorbed’’ the Elizabeth silver mine of Mon- tana. Director A. B. Ewing Bald Wednesday that the published statements of the his- tory leading up to the sale of the Eliza- beth at auction to one J. L. Dickerson of Chicagg were true. When asked whether Mr. Dickerson had sold the mine to the Bimetallic company, he eaid: “IT am not at liberty to give you any in- formation on that point. See Paul Fusz, the president of our company.” “But Mr. Fusz is out of the city.” “IT know that. He has gone to Montana, but he is expected to recurn within a very few days and may be then prepared to answer the question. In the meantime he is the only person authorized to say any- thing.”’ J. H. Dieckman of the brokers’ firm of Wernse & Dieckman, who are the agents of the Bimetallic and Granite companies, said: ‘“l have seen none of the members of the syndicate since it Was rumored they had bought the Elizabeth and therefore do not know whether they are interested in the deal. In fact, until one of them tells me so, I shall not believe it." Still, the og ge of the Elizabeth by the Bimetallic is ~ ee to be a fact among brokers, and it is Known that the visit of Mr. Fusz to Montana ia solely for the purpose of transferring the property. All thie is of momentous interest to the hundreds of Elizabethan stockholders in St. Louis, who claim they have been frozen out In a most unseemly yy Eight years ago the old West Granite was ubsorbed by the Elizabeth. Both mines lie on one side of Granite Mountain, and whe Bimetallic on the other eide. All three of the mines have been practically owned and controlled by the original stockhoiders. L. M. Rumeey, Paul Fuss, John J. Tauasig, Charies D. McLure, A. B. Ewing, Charles Clark, Moses Rumsey, Wilber F. Boyle and C. W. Wall When the Elizabeth absorbed the West Granite the syndicate gave the West Gran- ite stockholders one share of Elizabeth stock for each two shares of West Granite, and put up $100,400 to develop the Elizabeth. Thus the old West Granite stockholders go: o).000 shares in the El.gabeth for their &,- 000 shares and the 4yndivate got 250,000 shares for the $100,000 cash.

Thus all the original stockholders went out of the concern. Now comes, it is sald, the Bimetallic Com- pany, whose directors were practically the Same directors under whose management the Elizabeth had been sold for debt and lost to its stockholders, with an alleged rehase of the Elizabeth from the mys- erious Dickerson. In the meantime a ru- mor has spread among the frozen out stock- holders that a rich vein has been discovered in the Elizabeth, a rumor which may be true and doubly enrich the new owners, CASE OF MARTIN ENSLEY, Collins Has Not Returned and County Officials Are Incensed.

But for that very reason intelligent peo- ple cannot help looking upon them with even more suspicion. Their formation makes the future even ominous, If the American people could be sure that these monster aggregations of capi- tal would keep their hands out of poli- tics and if their formation did not mean monopoly control of the markets, they might rerard them with equanimity. But the history of the past has shown that this cannot be expected. How will it be possible for American political institutions to exist when all the chief industries by which the masses in cities make their living are controlled by a few men who persist in meddling with the people's right to govern them- elves? Shall we have a republic, ex- cept In name, when a majority of the voters are absolutely dependent for life upon a few men who have already shown A disposition to rule by the power of wealth?

For many years the heavy magazines have had practically a monopoly of the writings of distinguished men and wom- en. But nothing ts impossible with a great and progressive newspaper, and so it has come that famous men and women have been induced to commune with the masses through the columns of the daily press. Hence it is that the Sunday Post. Dispatch, in its mammoth Christmas edl- tion, to be issued next Bunday, will pre fent contributions from Hon. William J. Bryan, Lym Gage, Edward Atkinson Frederick R. CoWlert, Carroll D. Wright, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Henry W. Can- noh. Besides this array of greatness there will be a new story by Sarah Grand; “The Despised Angel,” by Marte Corelli, & new story, complete; “The Angel tn Green,” by Eva Wilder Broadhead: a new stery by A. Conan Doyle; an article by James J. Corbett, and a poem by R. K. Munkittrick, to say nothing of scores of striking articles by other writers of note, The paper willl consist of at least 70 pages. Thirty-two of them will be tn color. Sixteen of them will be devoted eepecially to the children. Beautiful half- tone engravings will be seen on every ‘arrive at justice by setting up @ and, without adjudication President’s splinter of the Cuban independence plank of the St. Louis platform. Speaking of the Haytian dispute which Germany settled with @ couple of gun- boats in the harbor of Port-au-Prince, Baron von Bulow, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said in the Reichstag he hoped Hayti would be reasonable, because, in addition to the justice of our claim, we have the will and the power to en- force it.’’ Why speak of justice? One does not claim by an impar- tial judge, enforcing it with gunboats. The plea of justice is a mere cloak to cover the enforcement of a claim against a weaker power by superior might. If Lueders had been imprisoned in Great Britain or the United States for violation of local laws, would Germany have made up a claim and sent warships with an ultimatum to the port of London or New York? Would not diplomacy have been e€x- hausted in the attempt to arrive at an equitable settlement? It-is the part of a bully for a strong nation to deal with a weak nation in any less reasonable spirit than with a strong nation. But this seems to be a part which the nations of Europe love to play. The warships in the port of a Weak nation is a favorite mode of set- tling disputes on the part of national bullies and it reflects more discredit upon them than it does upon the weaklings. Germany is playing @ brave role in the dispute with the helpless Haytians.

The members of the kitchen cabinet have sat in solemn judgment on the voracious appetites of the Washingtonians and have decided that the task of satisfying them levies too heavy a tax on the official purse. The Washington appetite, according to the ladies of the Cabinet, is appalling. It is insatiable. The free lunch fiend in Washington society goes from house to house seeking what he may devour. He empties a plate, hides it and brazenly gets ariother. He hangs about until all the eatables have been consumed. But the Cabinet ladies should consider the consequences to Washington society of the cutting off of free lunches. Bad as their plight is in having to feed the voracious hungry, how much sadder will be the plight of the voracious hungry with no free lunch parlors? Is it char- itable to cut them off without a bite? Shall the hangers-on of Washington so- ciety be permitted to starve? 2 —s “Don’t squeal when you are rolled,” is the lesson that Boss Butler reads to all bosses and followers of bosses. But both these classes have in them too much of human nature to always keep quiet. Besides, the justification of popular sus- picion often comes with the squeal and opens some eyes that might otherwise remain closed. As the President, with all his profes- sions of approval of civil service reform, reserves the right to exclude and include, the reformers will wait to see how much he will exclude and how much he will include.

Notes of Interest to Workingmen Gathered by have factory inspection laws, Since it began the work of cleaning out the rookeries under the new tenement house law, the New York Board of Health has seized and had condemned ninety-three of the worst tenement houses. According to Mr. Robert Williams, who has made the “‘model’’ workmen’s dwellings of London a special study, these buildings have not materially decreased the death rate. He says that the showing of 14 per cent is due to the fact that one-fourth of the deaths which ought to have taken place in the models are credited to public institu- tions. He finds that builders can still com- ply’ with the law and yet crowd houses at the rate of 2,000 persons to the acre. New Zealand has a compulsory arbitra- tion law, passed in 1894. Under its workings employers must continue to engage union workmen who are competent, if such offer themselves. Trades unions desiring to avail themselves of its provisions must become corporate bodies and make contracts for employment for at least three years. The law has virtually put a stop to strikes and lockouts, G. O. Virtue, Ph. D., in a report of his investigations of the anthracite mines of the United States, published in the Novem. ber bulletin of the Department of Labor, says: ‘There are too many workmen In the anthracite region trying to make a living by mining coal; and too much capital seeking to earn profits.” The anthracite mines of the United States employ 143,610 men and boys and annually send to market 45,000,000 long tons, about one-third of the total coal product of the country. F'rom 1870 to 1895 inclusive 422 miners were killed by accidents in the anthracite mines of the United States.

A big fight is going on in Cleveland, O., to compel the street car companies to re- duce fares to 3 cents. The big Consolidated road offers to compromise by giving trans- fers over all roads and 5 per cent of their gross earnings. In Vienna, Austria, the street car fare for workmen is 1 3-5 cents regardless of dis- tance. The street car lines of Toronto, Canada, sell workmen’s tickets at 3 cents each. In Glasgow, where the street cars are run by the city, a 2-cent fare is fixed for night and morning, regardless of distance, so that working people may live in the country and come to their work at small expense, In Toronto, Canada, city laborers are guaranteed by law a minimum pay of 15 cents an hour. St. Paul, Minn., retains competent and faithful municipal officers. SBome of the employes in the mechanical departments have served for twenty-five years, In Baltimore blacksmiths employed on public work directly by the city, and working fifty-four hours per week, were paid from 22% to 30 cents per hour. Those employed on public work by contractors and working sixty hours per week only re- ceived from 17% to 26 cents per hour. Car- penters employed directly by the city were paid 82% cents per hour; those employed by contractors on public work received but 2% cents per hour. The London County Council has experi- mented with direct employment of labor on certain city work, the estimated cost of which was $1,777,200. For the two years ending March 31, 1897, with a weekly pay roll of $14,000, the saving over contract work was estimated at 8 per cent.

Strange Development in the Affairs of G. E, Lemon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8—When George E. Lemon died he was accounted a millionaire. Now his executors are unable to find the assets of which they are sure Mr. Lemon was possessed shortly before he died. Mr. Lemon was for many years the leading pension attorney of Washington. He also publishes an old soldiers’ paper, which had a very large circulation. He made a good deal more money than he spent: Whenever he found his bank account swelling he bought a block of bonds or stock of gilt-edged character. Having no family, he made‘a will covering a number of bequests. His will provided that what- ever remained should be divided among four persons—a brother, a sister, Mrs, Logan Tucker, daughter of the late Gen. Logan, and a lady in Wisconsin. It seems that the | bequests will about eat up the estate, which, instead of being $1,000,000, will not be more than one-half of that. The execu- tors do not think that the securities were stolen or misplaced. They have reached the conclusion that toward the end of his life Mr. Lemon concluded to distribute some of his wealth to friends instead of naming thém in his will. NOW CROSSING THE SEA.

After many wander- sg ings she bas returned to St. Louls and was en- gaged as a companion by a wealthy lady under the name of Mary Venner. Melrose’s family were op- posed to his attentions to her.

The man I i0ve shall never be disgraced for life by marrying the gister of a supposed murderer.” “But what would I care for the opinion of oth. ers, dear love? I should have you.” “No, nol As time went on you would feel it more and more keenly. And if you did not. 1 should. How could we ever hold up our heads while such a etigma rested over us?

George is innocent. 1 know e is innocent, however much appearances may against him. Clear his name and 1! will be your wife, Never until then." And with this promise Duncan Rurke had to rest Content. “I will devote my life to vindicating him, Clare.”’ he said, as he left the house. “Never had detec- tive promise of so great a reward.” Returning to Jefferson Barracks, Capt. Burke secured a montii’s leave. Then he took the néxt car back to the city, When he reached Sixth and Market streets a group of newsboys rushed past, howling ‘‘extra!’’ Guessing the nature of. the news, Burke bought @ paper. His surmise had been correct. The “Extra!” told of the capture, in East St. eras Gnenbe Melrose, supposed murderer of Mar y ; ? + ong dl almost asa relief to the anx!ous 7 « a Pht x . + pe 2h: } 6 ae Pe ‘: Now, at least, the suspense was at an end, and Melrose might yet clear himself, The chances of proving Melrose innocent, how- ever, decreased as each new bit of evidence came in. While the unhappy prisoner still stoutly -pro- tested his innocence, his counsel was in despatr. Against his own highly improbable account of what had actually happened there was arrayed a mass of overwhelming evidence from whose con- clusions escape seemed impossible. It could be proved that Melrose had been in the habit of waiting at certain places in the strect for Mary Venner: and that they had often been seen walking together. There was evidence that on the night of the murder they had gone out for a walk, and that they had been seen within a block of the spot where Mary’s body was found. The man who passed them then declared he heard them apparently quarrel-ng. The very presence of the glass dagger pointed to premeditation. It bade fair to be a case which Coroner Wait and Col. Dick Johnson would have little troub'e in handling. Unless further important evidence were forth- coming in Melrose’s behalf his life hung on a very slender thread. On the earliest possible occasion Capt. Burke obtained an interview with the prisoner. He hardly recognized George, so thin and hag- Sard had the poor lad grown. “Ah! Thank Heaven you've come at last'”’ cried Melrose, as Duncan entered his cell in the holdover. Burke was determined to learn the whole truth at this interview; so, after the first greetings, he asked the almost brutal question: “What on earth possessed you to kill her, Mel- rose?’’ “Dunean! I thought you knew me! I murder Mary? Why, I would willingly have given my life for hers, Burke, by all that is holy, I swear I had nothing to do with her death!” “Tell me what happen d on ‘that terrible night, George,"’ entreated Burke. ‘We're moving heaven and earth to save you. Perhaps your statement may help us out.” “It's weary work going over it all again, Dun- can. Mary had met me as usual, When she was re- lieved from duty, and we were on our way to her employer's house. After our walk I again !m- plored her to marry me, or at least to give me Some reason why she would not. She refused, but there was enough in her word’ to make me hope.

It was a likeness of a brilliantly beautiful woman. Duncan carried the photograph away with him. Outside the Four Courts he examined it again. At the bottom of the card was the name of a prominent Olive street photographer. Half an hour later Burke was deep in talk with the photographer, who, after consulting several old employes,-was able to identify the likeness. “IT recognize the photograph,” he said, ‘‘and the number in my book verifies my notion. The like- ness is that of Miss Ethel Howgate.” “No relation to old William Howgate, the mil- “=o? lionaire, I suppose’? © tbl vers icy 4 e if a” a ~ ¢ ¢-* od i: a uy il a a i 32a * Vs , +o bles >? 4 er at HH a PRS) \ - ft ros ; ‘es wu it a 2 * ren 4 + 7 o ; / an > > ”* = gt “ , ; , . ’ 5 4 - ve re {™, a i} : ; P a RT ¥ " ; wt - “ , of , vy, © Ag ‘t . * * ~~ « “2 Sa Ves a @ j s? : J y ; >> +» i 4 .

Here it is, Be sure to bring it “Yes, sir. His only daughter” Duncan was dumfounded. “You must be mistaken.” “Not at all, sir. The picture was taken cnly @ few months before she disappeared.” ‘Disappeared '”’ Dear me, yes! The photographer was garrulous and only too : ling to talk. “You see,” he began, “Miss Ethel was old How- e's only daughter. She was a reigning belle in St. Louis and New York for two seasons. Her fa- ther had a place at Oconem) woe and a mysterious fcrt of chap named Durand met her there. They fell in love with each other; but no ene knew 4 ”, Don't you remember the story 1 anything about Durand, and the old man utterly forbade the match. Hovwgate’s secretary is my cousin. He told me the whole story. He was up there at the time. Suddenly Miss Ethel disap- peared from home. No one knew where she had gcne; but it was rst throught she had eloped with Durand. This was soon disproved by Durand’s eontinued appearance around Oconomowoc. By and by he went away, too. No one seems to know what became of him. Old Howgate was wild with grief over his daughter's disappearance. He fan- cied that grief at his refusal to let her marry Du- rund might have turned her brain, and that she “might have wandered off. With this idea he sent a photograph of her to Police Headquarters. It was one just like the picture that you have there, But she was never found,” Bidding the photographer farewell with scant courtesy, Duncan Burke hastened again to the Four Courts, An old album was hunted up at @\; request, and a photograph labeled “Ethel Howgate” exhibited to him. It was the likeness of a totally different woman from the one whose photograph was in his pocket and whom George Melrose was suspected of mur- dering. CHAPTER IV. MR. DUDLEY PENNELL. “What can this mean?’ exclaimed Duncan. “This likeness belonging to George was positively identified by the photographer as that of Ethel Howgate. It is also the likeness of the murdered woman, Undoubtedly they were one and the Same. Yet this police album photograph is of some other woman.” He explained the situation to Chief Desmond, with the result that Detective Tom Tracy was sent at once to Howgate’s office in the Mer- chants’ Exchange. The old financier identified the photograph lent by Melrose as a likeness of his missing daughter. The police album photograph bearing her name was, he angrily declared, the likeness of some to- fally different woman, and was not the same photograph he had ordered sent to Police Head- quarters. Sorely puzzled at this new mystery, Duncan Burke started anew on his quest. It occurred to him to hunt up Dudley Pennell, the man on whose alleged unwilling evidence George had been arrested. The man was evidentiy Melrose’s friend, and Duncan felt a vague suspicion that he might be able to throw some light on the matter. Chief Harrigan had said Pennell; lived at the Planters’ Hotel, and thither Duncan went. He sent up his card and was asked to go to Pennell's room, Pennell’'s apartment was something of a sur- prise to Duncan, largely because of the total ab- sence of the ordinary hotel furniture. It was fitted up in bizarre, Oriental style, dl- vans and floer being covered with Persian rugs, and a mehuded knickkoacks betokening that the occupant hed traveled far. In various cabinets waa a goodly show of Bo- hemian and Wenetian glass. In the center of the room, as Duncan entered, stood Dudley Pennell. Burke's eyes, accustomed to sizing up Men quickly, took in each detail of his host's appears ance at a glance “My name is Burke,” began Duncan; “Capt, Duncan Burke, U. 8. A. You may remember my pame in connection with the Melrose case?” ‘Yes, Capt. Burke,” replied Pennell, eyeing hig visitor keenly, almost distrustfully, “I remember, Sit down, won’t you? I think you'l) find that chair comfortable. Have a cigarette? I im these, myseif, from Alexandria.” Duncan accepted the cigarette and eat down, facing his host. He did not realize until later that Pennell had placed his visitor facing the light, while he, hime self, sat with Ais back to it. “And how is George bearing up?” asked Pen- nell, after a moment of embarrassed silence, “Can I be of any service?” “It was for that reasor.I called “f Rope if you can help us at all in the cdefente mr “Pennell, _ you wil) do so. I have succecdfd in ident the murdered woman as the missing daughter Willlam Howgate.”’ “Indeed!” said Pennell, with polite interest. “Yes. I am now trying to trace Miss Howse gate’s life from the day she left her father’s house, and I think you may be of help to me.” “I? How so?” “You have, I hear, traveled much, Mr. Pennell, and have naturally met innumerabie people in all quarters of the globe. I want to find out some thing of a certain\man who seems to have been mysteriously connapted in some way with Miss Howgate'’s disappe@rance. With your varied eke periences you may have met hjm.” “Who is he?’ “His name is Arthur Durand. Did you ever meet him?’’ “Durand? Durand?’ mused Pennell. “The name seems familiar. Oh, hold on) I remember now. Yes. I knew him quite intimately at one time. But I haven't seen him for several] years.” “Have you heard from him lately?" Duncaa asked. “Not fora year, I should say.” “Where was he then?” “He wrote from Denver, and said he was just moving on to Salt Lake City, and thenee t@& ‘Frisco. From there he was going on to Samoa, and so around the world.” “Where should I address a telegram to him now?" Pennell laughed. “If you knew Arthur Durand, Capt. Burke, you wouldn't ask that question. Following his mov@e ments is utterly impossible. Duncan's heart sank at this new rebuff. “Did he ever speak to you, Mr. Pennell, ebou§ any love affair with Miss Howgate?”’ “Never. But let me tell you, Captain, that whatever affair Arthur Durand entered into wag honorable and straightforward from frst to jast, , He never would have been party to her disap- pearance.”’ , “He certainly has a good friend in you, Mm% Pennell, and I congratulate him on such & cham pion,’ sald Burke, as he rose to go.

The services were the most novel and sol- emn ever Known in St. Louls. There was no minister; just a great throng of mu- sicians who were his friends and associ- ates, and a programme of beautiful music. Louis Mayer was for many years a resi- dent of the «city. He was foremost in all musical enterprises, a master with the vio- joncello, and a memnber of the best orches- tras organized in the Western country. As a composer he ranked high, and might have attained international fame had not his am- bition fallen short of his ability. Upon hundreds of public occasions Louis Mayer supplied music which not even the con- noisseurs could question, and his energies were devoted always to the development of his art among the peoplé, When he was dead his friends decided he should have a funeral] befitting a great mu- sician, and so they gathered in jarge num- bers at the residence, 512 North Sarah street, and conferred the last honors in a most Im- > way. was after 12 o’clock when the services begah. Amid an awesome hush a French horn quartette composed of Wiliiam Becker, 1,ouis Paudert, George Zaenglin and August Telievre of the Symphony Orchestra stood up beside the coffin of their friend and ren- dered that sublimely beautiful plece of riusic, “It Is Decreed in God's Wisdom.” ‘Ihe fine notes fell upon the throng in de- l cious harmony, and proved more moving than any verbal eloquence. There was a moment's pause and then a male quartette froen the Choral Symphony Cocjety sang “‘Nearer, My God, to Thee; fang it as perhaps it has never been sung lefore in St. Louis, with the deepest feellng and the fullest intonation. Ex-State Senator Owen Miller delivered *he laudatory address.

His words. were weil chosen, and in a brief way he told of Mr. Mayer's Cevotion to the divine art, his self-sacrifices, | his patience and his skill. He dwelt at length on the kindliness and-heipfulness of the de- ceased, and the good which the man had done. It was a fitting speech, impressively and eloquently delivered. At the conciesion of the panegyric a dou- ble brass quartette played Mr. Mayer's faverite selection,,a theme. from Chopin. This closed the services at the house. 4 The active pall-bearers took up the Wes’ bei Weilknown ‘ar clans, consisting of Messrs. Val Schonp, F. Gecits, C. Froeh- lich, Willam Baumegaertel, Oscar Bollman, P. 47. Anton and R. Buhl. The honorary pall-bearers, equally well Known in the musical world, were Messrs. Egmont Froehlich, John Bochman, V. Ehl- ing, Louis Hammerstein, F. Bausemer, A. Waldauer, Abraham Epstein, Alfred Robyn and Ben F. Seelers. When the procession had been formed there walked in advance a band of 100 musicians, selected from the various brass bands of the city, and as they moved down Sarah street solemn strains of the “Dead Mareh in Saul’ floated over the town. Slowly the musicians walked, and over the hijls the¥ passed toward the crema- tary, the echoes of the dead march growing ss oh until they died away in the dis- ance.

A Few Suggestions That Will Aid You During the Coming Months. ’ Don't be afraid of fresh air, but avoid draughts. Don’t go out-of-doors for a second without extra covering. If you wear rubbers, take them off whenever you have an opportunity within doors. In selecting your winter underclothing, choose that which is warm and yet more or less open in texture. Take off your overcoat when you enter a warm place, whether office or private dwelling, even if your visit is to last only a few minutes. If you catch cold or develop a cough, get rid of it at once. This is better than feeling ‘‘blue’’ and thinking that pneumonia or consumption has marked you as a victim. The best remedy for a cough or cold (however stubborn), or a sudden chfll, is pure whiskey. A dose of whiskey in water will impart a gener- ous warmth to the whole body and keep off the’ disease of the season. Don't forget that only pure whiskey should be taken. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey has the strong- est recommendations from the leading doctors as to its efficiency, and from the most prominent scientists as to its purity. It is the only stand- ard medicinal whiskey. Take no other from your FYES Was Sitting on thé Foot of the Bed When Mrs. Leroy Woke. Harry Leroy, foreman of the Glencoe Lime and Cement Company, decided Tues- day night that a Turkish bath would be a good thing to take. Hic left his home, 1706 Papin street, about 8 o'clock and returned at 11:30. His wife and children were screaming for the police, and there was an animated gathering of neighbors in the front vard. Everybody talked at once, but finally Le- roy learned that Mrs. Leroy had had an encounter with a burglar. “I woke up,” she said, “and saw the back window yjopen. I sat up in bed and saw a big regro eitting on the foot of the bed. His eyes were as big as apples. I screamed, ‘Harry! Harry! Get your revolver!

William McCullom of 2747 Shenandoah street had a desperate battle with a negro chicken thief Tuesday night. In fact, he narrowly escaped being seriously cut. About 8 p. m. McCullom heard a voice in the shed back of his house. Investigating he encountered a burly negro with a sack partially filled with stolen fowls. The negro grappled with McCollum and drawing a knife slashed at him repeatedly. The blade cut MecCullom’s clothing in a dozen places, but oniy seratched his skin. McCollom broke away and ran into the house for his pistol. He fired a shot at the negro as he escaped down the alley. The sack containing several of McCol- lom’s chickens with their heads wrung off was abandoned. WAVERLY HOTEL INSURED. No Evidence Found Against Incen- diary Suspects. Frank Robinson, his wife Nellie, Charles Hughes, John Bovanito and Addie Lee, who were arrested Tuesday suspected of robbing the trunks of John T. Beaver, proprietor of the Waverly Hotel, at 801 Market street, and then setting fire to the hotel, were re- leased Tuesday night. No evidence was found against them. Capt. O'Malley does not place much cre- dence in Beaver’s statement that he was robbed. The contents of the hotel are said to be insured for $1,000.

Batdorf’s Command at the Coliseum. The First Regiment, N. G. M., Col. Edwin Batdorf commanding, demonstrated last night that it is one of the best-drilled bodies of citizen soldiery in the United States. The Coliseum was the scene of action, and the visits of Adjutants-General to St. Louis was the occasion. Service uniforms were worn and the drill was by company, by bat- talion and then by regiment. In addition to the regular tactics there were calisthenic drills by two companies, The First Regiment band furnished the music and proved itself as well drilled in field maneuvers as in playing stirring strains. The reviewing stand—a number of boxes to the left of the main entrance—was occupied by the members of the Interstate National suard Association, in full dréss uniform, un- der escort of Adjutant-General Bell of Mis- souri, After the regiment passed around he arena the companies came to a parade rest at points assigned them until they were coied by bugle to participate in special rills, First was Company D, Capt. Charles W. Holtcamp commanding, in regulation drill, followed by calisthenics. ound after round of applause greeted this body. G Company, Capt. C. A. Sinclair, fol- lowed and did the most creditable work of the evening. The lines were perfectly kept. the paces in open order were accurate and the precision machine-like. The calisthenic exercises by this company were much more intricate than those by Company D, and the cheers of spectators were added to the hand clapping. Lieut.-Col. Cavender then appeared, mounted, and took command of four com- panies in battalion drill. The manéuvera were intricate and but one mistake was made. That was a left wheel instead of right by a company and was corrected so quickly that only one versed in tactics could notice it. The formation of a hollow Square was neatly done and the alignment as the men marched across the arena in this order was excellent. A parade of the regiment followed and when the body was drawn up in battalions under command of Col. Batdorf the guests of the evening were saluted by “present arms.,”’ The military not only demonstrated to 8t. Louisans the careful manner in which the companies have been drilled, but proved again the great value to the city of tho Coliseum, A suggestion was made last night that it is believed will bear fruit. It is that such drills be repeated at this place from time to time during the winter. The advantage is obvious, for at the Col- seum the entire regiment can maneuver, whereas in the Armory there is only room for company drill. VIOLENTLY INSANE AGAIN. John C. Hebnank Believes He Has Committed a Crime. John C. Hebnank, 2% years old, became vioiently insane Tuesday afternoon at his home, 2514 South Tenth Street. At the re. quest of his parents he was removed to the City Hospital by the police for obser. vation, — His father stated that for elghteen months he was confined in the insane ward at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital, but was taken home about two weeks ago as cured. Yesterday he became violent and de- manded a revolver, saying he intended to annihilate the whole family. He ts imbued with the idea that he has committed some terrible crime for which he is in imminent danger of being lynched. Another of his hallucinations is that during his stay at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital the doctors removed his brain and replaced it with a new one. ERNEST HAWTHORNE SLAIN. Body Thrown Into a Hastily Dug Grave in New Zealand. VICTORIA, British Columbia, Dec. 8.— The body of Ernst Hawthorne, who dis- appeared from the Silverstream District, near Wellington, New Zealand, recently, has been found. It had been pressed into a hastily dug grave on the spot where Hawthorne and a man named Stanhope had established a camp. After the disappear- ance of Hawthorne, Stanhope moved the camp and was afterwards arrested, charged with forging a check, and is now in jail. That Hawthorne was murdered is beyond doubt. CASKET WORKS BURNED. DRANK FROM A BARREL. Herman C. Woodbrink Was Where ‘Whisky Was Plenty. Herman C, Woodbrink ig 8 years old ana lives at 2208 Benton street. Wednesday he was a patient at the City Hospital against his will. Woodbrink obtained work clearing up the wreck of the Ravenswood distillery, which burned at Twenty-third and Howard etreeis a few weeks ago. He came across some bat- rels in the wreck almost demolished by falling walle and timbers. Little pools of whisky were standing in the bottom of the barrels: The odo: was pleasing to Woodbrink and he knelt down and drank it. He drank again. He re- peated the operation several times and for- got all about his work and everything elae. When his foreman found him he was dead to the world. An ambulance carried him to the City Hospital. a Woodbrink was sober Wednesday. He said he was unused to much whisky any- how, and that what he drank was stronger than any he ever saw, HELD AS A PANEL WORKER. Did Mamie White of the Moonface Rob Dr. Schindroth?

Teddy Hale, the @ld Champion, Now Pushing Along, and Will Finish in the Front Rank. a Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec, 8—The pace in the eix-day bicycle race now on at Madison Square ts not so fast as it was. In fact, the fearful pace set by Waller has sent many a good horse to the stable, and early this morning there were only eighteen of the thirty-six original starters in the race, The wonderful record-breaking has caused @ genuine sensation in bicycle circles here. and the oldest in the business cannot for the life of them see how it was done. Waller’s work up to Wednesday was fomething wonderful. At that time he had beaten the twenty-four-hour record in a eix-day race by fifty-seven miles and three laps. Hale’s figures of last year have been knocked into smithereens by at least half a dozen in this race. During the progress of the big race last night, and in the presence of 10,000 persons, Jimmy Michael appeared on the track for a five-mile exhibition. He was behind a triplet when the pistol went off. On the fourth lap he took up the white and blue Miles. Miles Miller evcovccceseonsene CO saseeeeveeeree Schineer coscceess 971 |)G.

Sporting Notes. Waller has collapsed, Hale is coming fast now. McKeown of C. B. C.’s Rugby team has joined the Shamrocks. Willie Beauchamp, the great jockey, is visiting friends in Llinots. The bicyclists in the New York race are not going so fast as they were. The Cycling Club of St. Louis has de- clared itself in favor of Sunday racing. The death of Walter Croot has created a ~~ age sensation in boxing circles in Eng- and, The Governor of Georgia has vetoed the anti-foot ball bill. Good for him, say the players. The St. Louts Foot Ball Association have decided to play no more double headers at Sportsman’s Park. Frederic A. de Mulhenheim, a graduate of the fencing academy of Paris, has es- tablished a fencing school at 3204 Lucas avenue. The St. Louis club has traded Catcher Morgan Murphy to Pittsburg for Catcher Joe Sugden. Murphy had many friends in St. Louis, and they are, of course, opposed to the trade. Trespicn & Newgass’ sale of pacers and trotters in Chicago is proving a winner. Tom O’Rourke has been given charge of Creedon’s end of the Creedon-McCoy fight by Col. Hopkins. Vere Davis is making arrangements for a special train from Chicago to carry those who are expected to go from there to wit- ness the great battle of the middleweights, Creedon and McCoy. tandem, and on the sixth laf took up the red tandem. Although the long-distance men did not interfere with his riding, it was | imposs'ble for him to hug the poles, and consequently he did not try for a speed record. He finished the distance in 10:22 4-5. Gougolitz and Hoyt appeared for the fourth time, and after going a mile were com- pelled to do another, owing to the fact that Hoyt had taken the inside post, in vio- lation of the rule. Hoyt won on the final heat. Hale, last year’s champion, keeps push- , Charley Radbourn, who pitched for the Albert J. Neist writes that he will box any 133-pound man, give or take two pounds, for any number of rounds and $200 a side. He says he would like very much to have a crack at Bob Douglas.

BOYCOTT, -— MANAGER MESSER TALKS OF THE RECENT BLACKLISTING OF THE COLISEUM. CONSIDERS IT AN INJUSTICE. In Outlawing the Track the Bicycle Men Acted Without Any Frec- edent Whatever. ai The blacklisting of the track in the big Coliseum by the L. A. W. has created any amount of discussion in local bicycle cir- cles. ° “T can’t understand the action of the L. A. W. in this particular case,” said H. O. Messer, who managed the recent twelve- hour match there. “Bicycle races for men and women, too, have been held in Tattersall’s big building at Chicago, in the Second Regiment Armory Building there and in Madison Square Gar- den, New York, but none of those places have been boycotted. “William Madden managed a bicycle race in Madison Square Garden Jan. 6 to ll, 1896, but the men bicyclists are racing there this week and the track has not been boy- cotted. . “At the Central Armory, Cleveland, and other. places ladies’ races have been held without the tracks permitting them being boycotted. “As a matter of fact the L. A. W. does not sanction ladies’ races, but so far it has never interfered with them except to prevent them riding on the same track and at the same time as the gentlemen riders. “The L. A. W. in blacklisting the Coli- seum track, therefore, have acted without precedent and have gone out of their way to do an injustice to the managers of that building.”’ COL. TARLTON’S OPINION. Thinks the Turf Congress Should En- force Its Laws. FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 8.—Col. L. P. Tarlton of this city, who has been go in- timately connected with the Turf Congress legislation, rules, ete., since its organiza- tion, and who is probably more familiar with them than any turfman in the country, was asked what he thought about the dis- cussion now pending in regard to the racing at Pimlico last week. Col. Tarlton said: ‘T am not fully informed in regard to the racing at Pimlico, in fact, a dispatch from the New York World Saturday even- ing, asking my opinion, was the first notice I had of any controversy in regard to it, and what I say is based on the accuracy of the informatfon that they raced at Pim- lico last week, after Dec. 1, with the sanc- tion of the Jockey Club. “Neither in letter nor spirit does by-law 6 except any territory in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and north of the 35th degree of latitude. If racing in December at Baltimore is not a violation of its proh.bitions then racing in December 'in Chicago or Nashville would not be, | There is now no territorial limit between the Jockey Club and Turf Congress for any | purpose, and there never was any in regard to sanctioning ‘winter rac.ng,’ and if the eanction of the Jockey Club can make win- ter racing at Baltimore legit.mate under congress rules it can do the same at Ctn- 'cinnat!i or St. Lou's. If the Turf Congress can or will enforce its rules against the defenseless and outiaw the needy striving to put bread into their mouths and retract its action, repeal {ts laws, and even nullify its very constitution whenever parties feel- ing themselves strong enough choose to vio- late them, thea it ought to disband, for no governing power that does not respect its own laws or has not power to enforce them can command the obedience of others. “The secretary of the Turf Congress is | Saccenadipubiennass ae F the Turf Congress, it can be given without the congress repudiating its own record and nullifying its organic law. The Commitiee on Appeals can in its discretion reinstate all the persons engaged in that racing, and the congress in the exerctse of its sovereign power can reinstate the track and horses which that committee is prohfbited from doing. ‘In my 2pinion for the congress now to ad- mit that ‘winter racing’ anywhere in the United States where prohibited by its by- laws Will be legitimate if sanctioned by the Jockey Club or any other turf authority would stultify its course for the last four years and be fatal to any attempt by it to exercise any authority over racing in the future. It seems to me that its own dignity, the maintenance of most statutory legisla- tion, the welfare of legitimate racing all de- mand that the congress should ‘entorce its law against ‘winter racing’ and all who participate in it. It is part of its organio law, and cannot be legally changed or re- pa until its regular meeting next Sep- tember.” THE PITTSBURG HOODLUMS, Manager Billy Watkins Will Look After Them in Great Shape. The St. Lou!s players have always com- plained of the shabby treatment they re- ceived at the hands of the hoodlums who held forth in right field on the Pittsburg grounds, Next season it is not likely they will be worried by that lot, Presjdent-Manager Watkins of the Pitts- burg Club expects to do the Parkhurst and Lexow acts now that he has charge of the Pirates. Mr. Watkins wll pay particular attention to foul-mouthed spectators. The bieacherites will not be allowed to put the handicap on right flelders, namely receiv- ing all the abuse intended | the bleacher- ites for the whole team. he first move will be to have officers stationed at con- venient points and the first spectator to indulge in obseene criticism will be ejected from the grounds. If this remedy does not prove beneficial, then the bleachers will be removed back to ‘their oid position in deep center fleld and room’ made for just 300 25- centers, and as soon as 300 tickets have been sold the gates will be closed and no one else admitted to that part of the field. There will aiso be a determined effort made tc stop all betting in either the bieachers or grand stand. The scheme of having of- ficers stationed where they will put a stop to profanity and obscene language is one that every club in the League might copy with good results. SUNDAY GAMES IN NEW YORK. The Stockholders of the Club and the Public Want Them: NEW YORK, Dec, 8.—It is stated on the best authority that the New York Base Ball Club is quietly considering the ques- tion of Sunday ball playing by the New York team next season. . According to the Herald many of the stockholders in the club, in fact all of the minority, with scarcely an exception, are arrayed in a.solid phalanx in favor of such a step being taken by the club and they are using their oily persuasiveness and strongest arguments upon Andrew Freeman, president of the club and owner of the con- trolling interest, in an effort to make him see it the same as they do. Mr. Freedman was asked last night what he had to say about the matter. “Nothing at the present time,” was his anewer. “I will, however, say that I am being besieged on all sides to decide ‘in favor of having the giants play on Sundays and while I recognize that there is a popu- lar demand for base ball on that day, I cannot say what stand the New York club will eventually take in the matter.” NEW STYLE OF BICYCLE. Matt McGowan, a St. Louis Boy, Re- ceives Letters Patent for One. Matt McGowan of €t. Louis received let- ters patent this morning for a new bicycle, which can be run with or without pedals ute.

FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. | Sixteenth Annual Meeting in Session at Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—The Amer!t- Can Forestry Association held its sixteenth annual meeting at Washington to-day, The meeting is mainly a business meeting to sat- isfy the requirements of articles of incorpo- ration for the purpose of receiving reports and the election of officers. Gen. Francis H. Appleton of Boston presided, After a brief report from the Board of Directors the report of the Executive Com- mittee was read by the chairman, Dr. B. EF. Fernow, The ere referred to the legisla- tion passed in the extraordinary session of the present Congress, providing an adminis- tration for the Federal forest reservations as a result of educational work of the asso- ciation during the last ten years, The owning of forest areas, jt said, is be- ing recognized by various States as’ an es- sential part of a State forest Policy, The tariff legisiation was briefly ‘touched upon as influencing neither favorably nor unfavorably the forestry movement. ~ Meals a la Carte At reasonable prices are served in the new Parlor-Cafe cars of the “Daylight Special,” the ILLINOIS CENTRAL'S fagt day train to Chicago. — CHINKS IN TROUBLE and which is geared to make a m'‘le a min- | ‘out and the company is doing good work. |All the principals are effective. -The com- ROBBED BY A PERFIDIOUS PART- NER THEY ARE AFRAID TO GO TO WORK. WAH YUNG GOT THE BOODLE. His Partners Think They May Be De- ported If They Take Places in Laundries. Perturbed Chinamen flocked into the of- fice of United States Commissioner Gray Wednesday. Many of them were made penniless and destitute through the dishonesty of one of their countrymen, who fled with thousands of dollars of their savings. Now they are in’ actual want, but will not accept work in the laundries for fear of being deported, Lev Lu was among those who laid their cases before the Commissioner. He eaid he. with eleven others, was the owner of a Chinese grocery at 20 South Eighth street until six months ago. They did business under the firm name of Quong Wing, Lee & Co. Wuh Yung was a trusted member of the firm. He looted the strong box and got away with $7,000. Some of the members of the firm ‘had other interests than the grocery and they are not worrying so much, But Leu Lu, Jue Lee, Jue Lie and several others were left almost penniless. Leu Lu says he does not know what to do. He says if he goes to work he will be arrested, thrown into jail and sent across the sea to China. He wants to stay in this aapgene tS He wanted Commissioner Gray’s advice. Mr. Gray explained that the law, as in- terpreted by Judge Adams in a recent de- cision, would allow them to remain in this country and do any kind of labor, provided they had the right to be in the United States at the time adversity overtook them. If they were doing a recognized business and were legally registered as merchants, and failed, ‘then the law would permit them to earn a living in any way they could. The law is intended to keep Chinese laborers from flocking into the country, but those who were here when the law was passed in 1883 and were registered as jiaborers then, or who ¢ame since then an@ embarked in a legitimate mercantile business, even though they may have failed, are not sub- ject to deportation. The Chinamen wanted Judge Gray to Is- sue them papers permitting them to remain, but he declined to do that. HANLEY ISNT MISSED. A Smooth and Effective Productiog. of “David Laroque.” At the Imperial Theater this week Mr. Emmet King has given a remarkable exhi- bition of quick study and capacity to do strong work on short notice in a hard part. Except for the publication of the fact the audiences would not know that a change had been made in the leading male role of ‘David Laroque.”’ Mr, King playe the part now with force and feeling and from the first performance has never failed to re- ceive less than two curtain calls. Mr. Hanley is not missed and many who have seen Mr. King’s performance think that the substitution was a fortunate one. But the entire performance has smoothed edy scenes are amusing and the écene in the last act when Prof: Cendrin captures the ‘dashing Mrs. Chevalier, whom he has wooed for his old friend, Col. Perignon, is played to roars_of laughter. The scenic production of the play is win- ning high praise. All of the stage settings ‘are excellent, but an exceptionally charm- ing effect is created in the moonlight scene in the park with the bridge and waterfall, This scene is greeted with a round of ap- plause every night.

TRY GRAIN-O! TRY GRAIN-O! a DOCTOR COPE TO THE P He Announces the Absolute Withdrawal of the $5 Rate Jan. I. and Emphasis. el And Gives General Notice That It Will Not Be Given Again in This Practice—The Necessity That Compelied the Extensions Given and the Reasons for Giving This Notice Ususual Promi The necessity for the extensions that Doc. tor Copeland has made of the opportunity under the $% Rate can only be appreciated by those who have seen the throngs of peo- ple crowding his offices during the conclud- ing days of the two periods given. Only those who have witnessed with their own eyes the anxiety and the eagerness of these applicants to obtain the benefits of the of- fer, who have perhaps themselves shared in this eagernees, who have seen rich and poor alike, those who have already given small fortunes for medical care, and those whose doctors’ fees have been sadly parted with from their humble earnings; dwellers in the c'ty and dwellers out of the city, thronging the waiting rooms until it was plainly imposeible for twenty physicians to care for even a small proportion of them; only those who have witnessed these things can at all appreciate the pressure brought to bear‘upon Doctor Copeland to make the extensions he has made. This Final Extension to the end of the year was the result of such @ pressure as this—only that the pressure was intensified tenfold by the crowds of people over any- thing that had preceded in the history of the practice. In making this final exten- sion Doctor Copeland therefore insisted upon giving tenfold emphasis to its condi- tione, namely, that it is absolutely the final extension of the opportunity; that it car- ries with it a distinct notice that on the Ist of January the $5 opportunity ceases; that under mo circumstances or by no induce- ment would the rate be offered or held out to any patients after that date, All new patients applying for treatment be disappointed or no just ground for critj- ed clem on the score of partiality, for the ao- tice and the werning has been abundant and emphatic. Doctor Copeland has in- sisted that this notice of the final oppor- tunity be made to stand as a permanent feature of these announcements during this entire period; he has explained again and again that those who take advantage of the rate during that period will receive treatment until cured without any raise in price; has intimated his willingness to have all take advantage of the opportun- ity that wished, but has yrged with all the directness of which he is capable that he does not want a repetition of the scenes of the last daye of October. In view of repeated extensions, tice be given unusual prominence and emphasis. The month of December is absolutely the last opportunity un- der the $5 Rate. It will never be given again in this practice. It cannot be indefinitely extended without actual loss and it will be withdrawn except to thease patients already under treat- ment on January 1st. All patients applying for treatment and all patients renewing treatment before Jan. 1, 1898, will be treated UNTIL CURED at the uniform rate of $5 a month, medicines included. after that date will have no just reason “4 applies to all patients and all “Whenever | Meet | Any One Who Is Deaf.” A.

May started at 89%@90c, agnrinst yesterday's closing price of 88%%@89%c and with a moderate demand from shorts. For the first time in months Northwest receipts were under the figures of last year, Minneapolis and Duluth re- porting 600 cars, as compared with 715 cars last week and 629 a year ago. Chicago receipts, how- ever, were liberal—256 cars. A San Francisco message estimated the California wheat crop at 13,000,000 bu less than the Government October estimate. This and reports of an excellent for- eign demand caused an increase of buying, the market selling ap to 99%4c shortly after the open ing. There was considerable selling against calls at the advance and the market eased off to 9°4@ 90%c. The December option was also firm, open- ing %c higher at 99c and easing off to 98\4c, but recovering again to 99c. A liberal increase in the visible was looked for. Corn was very dull and almost without fluctuations. The feeling was steady with wheat, and on the receiptse—350 cars—which were 100 under estimates. Cables were unchanged. May opened unchanged at 28%@28%4¢c and re- mained at about that price. Oats were almost as dull as corn. The feeling was firm. Receipts were 804 cars. May opened unchanged at 22kc, sold at 22\%4c and at 22%.@22\%c. In provisions there was little liquidation on the big hog receipts and the market was weak in consequence.

DINIDED aed SPLIT IN THE RANKS AT BROTH- ER PEFFLEY’S MISSION ON NEWSTEAD AVENUE. ~ COLOR LINE CAUSED IT. There Was Trouble Over a Recent Foot- Washing Service, and Some Members Withdraw, There has been a split in the ranks at Brother Peffley’s Mission, Maffitt and New- stead avenues. color line; the direct, a recent service where there was washing of feet. Brother Peffley’s Mission is a continua- tion of the tent meetings held at Lambdin and St. Louis avenues last summer. They were better known as Brother Worley’s meetings. As a matter of fact Brother Worley, the wealthy exhorter, was not the responsible head of the tent meetings which attracted so much attention, He merely lent his services and influence. Mr. and Mrs.. Peffley, who conduct a Christian Science Home for Young Men at 1701 Lucas avenue, and Mrs. ©. J. Cutler of 4229 Maf- fitt avenue were the leaders. They are likewise at the head of the present mission and Brother Worley is still helping. It is the tent meeting gone into winter quarters. The Post-Dispatch toid of the big baptiz- ing at the close of the summer, when the converts were nearly equally divided as to color and sex The faction that is now in revolt is led by Mrs. Nash of St. Lonpis and Pendleton avenues, her son, James, who aspires to the ministry, and his father-in-law, Dr. King. They have started a rival mission on Str. Louis avenue, at Taylor avenue and North Market street, and no longer worship with the Peffley-Cutler contingent. The néw mission has attracted Miss Virgie Leveridge, who used to go into trances during which she said she went to heaven. Mrs. Osborne of Ashley place, a daughter of Mrs. Cutler and a firm adherent of what is called the original mission, to distinguish it from the opposition, sad to a Post-Dis- patch geporter: “The trouble s that Mrs. Nash was am- bitious to have her son preach and havea mission of his own. We had a foot-wash- ing Sunday week, and of course the negro converts were there. But people didn’t have to wash their feet if they didn’t want to. Some of them objected to embracing the colored folks. Well, I don’t believe in too much of that, but the other night a colored woman ran up to me and put her arms around me, and what was I to do? 1 couldn't push her away. Miss Leveridge has gone with the new mission and gshe’]] regret it.’’ Mrs. Nash has been engaged in mission work for m&any years. ‘The negroes did not hurt me,”’ she said. ‘‘T am beyond all that, but I think the way they mixed up with them was harmful to the sinner congrega- tion. It tended to drive them away, rather than to bring them to the light.

The story of how Ollie Hagan lost his theater and how Mr. Jannopoulo got it was told under oath in Judge Spencer's branch of the Circuit Court in the hearing of the he Continental Na- ainst t suit of Hagan ag ° the sale of his tional Bank to set asid stock, The court-room was well filled with 2008 atrical people—not actors, but the other Kind of theatrical people, those whe man age things, sell tickets and so on.

It was the attorney 5 endeavor to show that the sale of the Hagan stock was not sudden nor unwarranted; that Mr. Hagan tried to sell it for nearly a year be- fore the sale was forced by the_ bank. In the course of his testimony Mr. Hagan told how he borrowed about $20,000 from the bank and put up as security a controll- ing share of the stock of the Hagan Opera- house. - ‘We were doing all right,”” he said, ‘‘but Hopkins was literally coining money with a continuous show, and_the stockholders kept ding-donging, Ging done at me to do the same thing. Finally I yielded, against my better judgment, and the change was made right in the middle of the sea- son. The result was a loss. ‘In the meantime the bank was pressing me and dunning me. I explained to Mr. Walker over and over again that I did not have the money. I kept my interest paid up and did pay a little once or twice toward reducing the principal. I hoped all the time to strike a paying season and re- duce my indebtedness out of my dividends. As it was I took but my bare living ex- penses and had Mr. Gestrich, the treasurer, send the bank my dividends whenever there were any. ' “All of a sudden I got the notice of eale from the bank. I was dumfounded at the suddenness of it. I asked them to give me a little time. I went to Mr. Scullin and talked the matter over with him and he went to the bank with me. They gave him night a great big negro that was beside him- a cxtension of four days in which to inves- self fell against me and knocked me against a tent-post, hurting my shoulder and jarr- ing me internally so that I was sick next day. I did not know it at the time. |The ower was On me and I was enjoying a veautiful vision. “I spoke to Brother Peffley about it. He made light of it, and said that if I was sanctified the Lord would heal me. That night Brother Peffley said from the plat- form that as a token of humility he wished the Lord would turn his face black. I felt that was a blow at me. “Negroes were not only welcome at the tent, but they seemed to be more welcome than anyone else. e ‘We will not have the question trouble us in our mission.

He has been 4 carpenter, but he was hesitating whether to be a dentist or a doctor. The word came to him to be neither dentist nor doctor. Well, he married not long ago and now he has become convinced that he has a call. I held a prayer meeting one Sunday night. There were five of us present; the next Sun- day there were ten, so I felt I was called to @etart the work.”’’ Mrs. Peffley said: ‘‘Really I have never gone to those who left us to ask their rea- Sons.

F You may answer,” said the judge. Reluctantly Mr. Jannopoulo said that he paid $2,500 cash. The rest was in notes, as he made an agreement with Mr. Marshall, who bought the stock at auction, that he was to ba@ carried until the theater paid out. Several notes were renewed since the sale last June, and there was a big one for about $22,000 coming de the first of the year. Mr. Jannopoulo said that since he took the management of the theater it has be- come indebted to him in the sum of $4,200. “How much is the stock worth?” was asked. “That depends,” he said. “Would you buy-it as an outsider ff you had no voice in the management?” “No, never. .If I could not manage it I would not to1zch it at any price.” Mr. Havlin, when summoned, told how he tried to sell his stock which cost him 8] cents on the dollar and which he offered to Sam Gumpertz for a little less than 40 cents. “Sam wanted it at that price,” said Mr. Havlin, ‘“‘only he couldn't raise the money.” There was a general laugh over this re- lation, and testimony.

It Is Taken Direct From Real Life me A Charming New England Lady Tells Her Experience Both Abroad and in America. The unwritten romances of life are more won- derful and far more interesting than the most vivid works of fiction. The one we are about to relate occurred in real life, and is both interesting and instructive. Mrs. Jennie Ray formerly lived in Manchester, N. H. Her home was pleasant, her surroundings comfortable. In the year 1880 she visited England, Strange sensations. At first she them to the change of climate, but they continned and increased, until finally, like many another woman, she be‘ame utterly discouraged. It was while in this condition that Mrs. Ray feturned to America and her home. Thousands of women who read this story can appreciate the condition in, which Mrs. Ray then was and sym- patbtze with her suffering. Two prominent physi- cians were called and endeavored to do all in their power for her relief. In spite, however, of their skill, Mrs. nog acer weaker and more de- pressed, while the agony she endured seemed to increase. It was at this time that a noted phy- siclan who was called declared Mrs. Ray was suffering from cancer, said there was no help and told her friends she could not live more than ea week at the farthest. And here comes the interesting part of the story, which we will endeavor to tell in Mrs. Ray’s own words. She said: ‘‘Unknown to all these physicians, I had been using a preparation of which I had heard much. I didn’t tell the physicians because I feared they would ridicule me, and perhaps order its dis- continuance. During all the while that the phy- siclans were attending me the preparation was steadily and faithfully doing its own work in its own way, and I had faith in its power. At last the dector oaid the-e was no use of his coming, for he could do me no good. I had suffered so much that iy" “"** . f Pty 2 a PROF. THOMAS J. J.

Tuesday: night’s session of the House of Delegates was unusually quiet until a few minutes before its close. Mr. Burke, the irrepressible member from the Fourteenth Ward, tried to filng a bomb into the House, but Speaker Lehmann shut him off by de- claring him out of order, Mr. Burke disturbed the peace by a mo- tion that a committee of five wait upon the Grand-jury and request it to Iinvesti- gate the doings of the House. That was as far as Mr. Burke got, though he insisted on. giving reasong for his motion, Mr. Burke belongs to the small minority which enjoys prodding the majority, and it has been resolved to suppress them on the spot when they unsheathe a knife. One of the things Mr. Burke would like the Grand- jury to look into is the ugly repart going the rounds about the North and South Railway bill. Commuications were received by the House and Council last night from the Elec. tion Commissioners requesting that the re- districting of the ward lines be done by March 1 or postponed until after the No- vember election in 1898. The House post- poned consideration of the request for a week, and in the Council it was filed, The commissioners called attention to the fact that such action was necessary, in view of the changes that are to be made from the Australian to the separate ballot. Changes in the ward lines will necessarily affect the polling places and consequently the selection of competent men to preside over them. Hence it is necessary for the commissioners to learn in time whether the redistricting is going to be made. Councilman Carroll is chairman of the Council committee and Mr. Helms of the House on redistricting, and within the past six months each has stated in published interviews that the redistricting of the wards was under consideration, and that the new ward map would be announced in due time. Still if there has been a meeting of the joint committee no one has heard of It. The Council promptly killed Delegate De- brodt’s scheme for the purchase of a seven- acre lot in the “heart of the city” to be used aS a settling basin for the Water- works. e bill authorizing the removal of the Grant statue to Washington Square was passed. Bills making additional appropriations as follows were introduced: Board of Health, $3 OO New City Hall, $2,640, and the Morgue, “THE FLOWER QUEEN.” Cantata for the Benefit of Mrs. Flint’s Emergency Home. “The Flower Queen,” a cantata, was pleasingly rendered Tuesday night by ama- teur talent at the Pickwick Theater for the benefit of Mrs, £.

Representatives from St. Louls County towns made good headway yesterday to- ward having their villages supplied with water from the city’s mains, The County Committees that met Mayor Ziegenhein in his officé with City Counselor Marshall and Water Commissioner Holman were F. W. Rauchenstein and Geo, Auten- reith of Clayton, Mayor Le Grand Atwood and C. F. Adams of Ferguson, W. 8S. Flem- ing and N. D. Thompson of Webster Groves, Mayor F. C. Nevins and Judge Enos Clark of Kirkwood and Judge W. F. Boyle and F. M. Sterrett of St. Louis. Mr. Holman said there was no doubt about the ability of the city to eupply the villages with water, but the question of cost was an important one. The committee estimated that the mains could be laid for about $40,000. Kirkwood to pay $15,480; Webster Groves, $15,000; Clay- ton, $4,500; Country Club, $4,500. The subur- banites expected to pay the same rates as the city. They desired contract for not less than twenty-five years. Mr. Holman advised them not to Insist on over fifteen years, be- cause within that time the city would have grown so that it would demand the full capacity of the water-works. These committees were appointed to consider the matter and to repart as early as possible: Law and Contract—City Counselor Mar- shall, Judge James E. Hereford of Fer- gyuson, County Counselor F, A, Heidorn of Clayton, Judge W. F. Boyle, President of the Country Club; City Counselor B, Webster of Webster Groves, City Coun- selor Oscar K.

Edward Cox stood on the corner of Sev- enth street and Lafayette avenue Wednes- day morning looking weary and disreputa- ble. Sergt. Allen stood on the opposite corner alert and vigilant. The Sergeant didn’t like Cox’s tout en- semble and strode over and asked ques- tions. “What's your name?” ; “Edward Cox.” “What do you do?” “What do you care?” sc “Come with me and I'll show you. “Oh, say, now,” said Cox deprecatingly. “T ain’t a criminal. All I ever done was to desert from the hosp‘tal corps at Fort Leay- enworth. Say, Cap, it was just awful out there.”’ ms “It’s better at Jefferson Barracks,” said the Sergeant, tightening his grip on Mr. Cox’s waistband, “I'll just send you down there.”’ “Well, if this wouldn’t give you a pain!” said Mr. Cox. but he went docilely to the Third District Station and told how he got tired of being a soldier and took French leave April 14, 1896.

LOUIS Only Ones in America and a Big Thing for a Big Town. An industry entirely new to the United States wiil soon be established in North | St, Louls. Enameling works for the man- ufacture of enamel signs and the orna- mentation of any metal with a glossy sur- face were organized a few days ago. Carl Phillips of the Buck Stove and Range Company was elected President, with Henry 8S. Bolte, a wholesale and retail stove dealer, as Secretary. The company was incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000. Eastern capital has been heavily invested in the new concern. The plant will be located at Ninth and Monroe streets, a lease having been secured on two build- ings recently occupied by the Curtis Saw- mill Company. It is expected that operations will begin Jan. 1. Nearly all the machinery fs constructed, At the start not over thirty-five skilled me- chanics will be ees but Mr. Bolte says this number will very likely be trebled in a year. . The street signs now used in St, Louis were manufactured in England. No city in the United States had a factory that could turn out the work. There are several patents on the process, and Mr. Bolte and his associates have se- cured an option on patents in Germany. “This factory will be a big thing for St. Louis in time,’ said Mr. Bolte. ‘It is the only one in America, and we start out with the most favorable prospects. In in- vestigating the enamel works in Germany I found that in one city there were five fac- tories. employing nearly a thousand men, ‘The Postmaster General, I understand, is considering the enameling of letter boxes. As it is now the boxes must be painted every year, while an enamel polish would remain bright for fifteen years.

The junket of city officials to Eastern cit- ies to collect information on street making has been postponed until after the holidays and probably indefinitely. Late Tuesday afternoon a conference of the would-be junketers was held in the Mayor’s office, ostensibly to discuss the scope of the commiss‘on’s work while away, as it was understood they would leave Thursday night and be cone (wo weeks. The refusal of Presidemt McMath, added to that of the Mayor, to go On the junket was a set back to its promoters, but Leh- mann, Sehaefer, Kratz, Brinkmeyer and Wurzburger did not intend to let slip such a glorious trip at the city’s expense. Milner has been averse to the junket all — but finally consented to trot with the crowd over ground familiar to him. President McMath was sent for and strong efforts made ‘o prevail on him to make the trip, but he said his health would not per- mit of it at this season. That was a delicate and polite way to decline, and when it was proposed to-wait awhile for Mr. McMath he said he knew all tha: was to be learned on such @ trip, regarded the junket as a waste of time and money, s0 far as he was person- ally concerned, and he was not going. The Mayor was just as obdurate and then the majority of the junketers conceded that they had better wait until after the hoi.- days, maybe until spring, and then they might prevail on the Mayor and President Mc Math to change their minds. The bill appropriating $2,000 for the Junket iu being pushed along In the Assembly as fast as the rules will permit, and the money will be ready whenever the junketers take a notion to use it. MRS.
