Wires at Work Which May Make the Island Free, With the United States Holding a Protectorate to Guarantee the Debt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Private infor- ‘mation has been sent to the State Depart- ment and to members of the Foreign Af- ‘fairs Committee in Congress going to show ‘that powerful influences are at work to «e- ‘cure Independence for Cuba. Spain has is- igued bonds to the gross amount of about ' $400,000,000, based specifically upon the re- ‘sources and revenues of Cuba. These bonds (HE SEIZED THE ROBBER BY THE RIGHT WRIST AND KILLED HIM. HIS STORY PROVED TRUE. Graham Was Formerly a Policeman and Officials 'hink He Would Be a Credit to the Force —Arrests Made. The slaying of Joe McDonald, known as “‘Foxey,"’ a footpad, was the first triumph of the peaceable citizen over the bandit in St. Louis since October, 1894, when Grocer Sul- livan of North Broadway routed three men who tried to hold him up, and wounded and captured one of them. The police are high- ly gratified, and there is a strong sentiment that George Graham would be an orna- ment to the force, ' are held in large part in Great Britain and France. Some of the largest syndicates in these countries, It is said, have at last become convinced that these bonds are about to be- come valueless unless the United States in e0me way guarantees their payment. They are convinced that the island is entirely , devastated and that it can be restored only by the influence of a strong commercial power. Representations have already been made to this country by certain strong commercial | ‘interests to secure active intervention. If this were done the United States would be- come morally responsible for the payment of the Cuban loan. This could be done by a protectorate similar to that of England in ‘Egypt or by a direct control] of the Cuban icustom fhhouse. The insurgent leaders have }all along intimated that they would not ob- _Ject to. action on the part of the United “States which would secure their indepen- dence, nb matter how costly it-might be to them from a financial point of view. They irealize that the very measures necessary to the raising of money to pay this loan would , Bive the island a start commerciaily such ‘as it could not hope to attain by itself. Under present conditions President Mc- ‘Kinley could not intervene except as an act of hostility to Spa'n, for the Spaniards have acceded to every, demand made by this Government almost before it was presented. ‘It has been intimated, however, that if the 'United States should send its warships to ‘Havana, stop the war and agree to pay the $400,000,000 of the Cuban loan, both France and Great Britain would sustain this coun- try, and, therefore, the Sagasta Govern- ment could appeal to the people of Spain and show that the loss of Cuba had come about by the influence of France and Great ‘Britain rather, than by the dictation of the hated Yankees. It is undoubtedly a fact that the bondholders are moving to put this country in a position where it. will guarantee payment, and if it does this the war ‘n Cuba will speedily end, PROMPT ORDERS TO THE NAVY. (American Ships Held in Readiness for Action. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The riote re- ported at Havana last night have excited ‘the greatest interest here. The Government is alert, and it is the opinion of the friends of Cuba that the time for intervention has about arrived. If it is decided to take ao- ition, the Government is well prepared to ido so. Gen. Lee got at the cable early and re- ported the situation was serious, and that the mob was “getting even with the Amer- foans”’ end “downing the United Btates"’ as much eas it wae etriking at the autonomist policy and the reconcentrados, American citizens had to seek refuge in the Consulate. Gen. Lee’s prompt military instincts told nlry Dan Murphy claims that he was at Ed Toomey’s wake when McDonald tried to holdup Graham and was killed. The police believe, and Graham agrees with them, that Murphy is one of the two men who were with McDonald when the lat- ee JOSEPH M’DONALD, ee —_— ter made the attempt that resulted in his being made a good highwayman. But the police are prejudiced against Mr. Murphy, as he will tell you himself, be- cause he has contracted the Workhouse hahit. “I only got out of jail yesterday at 1 o’clock,””’ said Mr. Murphy with fine re- sentment; “how was I goin’ to do a job s0 quick?” ‘ Graham's story of the tragedy, as told to a Post-Dispatch reporter in the Fourth District station Thursday morning, is clear, succinct and terse and it is, cor- roborated by the physical facts. “a n a weinerwurst peddler,”’ \said . ‘My home is at 1434 North Twelfth street, and I have a wife and four ¢hil- dren, I am 33 years old and came froin Summerhill, Pike Co., Ill. I was on the police force for four or five months four years ago. I was dismissed for intoxica- tion. Since then I have been temperate. Last night I was making my usual rounds, selling wientes. As I was going west on Cass avenue, between Sarsfield place and Twentieth street, just opposite the Ken- rick Seminary, I saw three men across the way. One ran toward me. thought noth- ing of.it except that he might be a cus- tomer. As he reached me he arew a pisto!] and, eticking it in my face, told me: to throw up my hands. I caught at his pistol hand with my left and he pulied the trig- ger. The cartridge did not explode, I had anant me wrist and forced his ‘hand above ead, “He struggled to lower the pistol, cursing me and eaying, ‘I mean business.’ Holding CONTINUBD ON PAGE THREE. his right, with my left I dropped my basket There's an apple in Ohio That is sadly speckled o’er, And a certain Worm has started All its insides to explore. And he’s crawled along his way, To the middle, till to-day That Ohio speckled Apple is quite rotten to the core. On its substance he has fattened, As such Worms are wont to do, And he’s steered straight for the center, To his purpose ever true— To absorb it more and more Till he’s taken in the core— And he cares not that the apple now is rotten through and through. Now if we should get an apple That was in such woeful state, When we found that it was rotten, Not a moment would we wait, But we'd cast it in the street, To be crushed by passers’ feet, And we'd gladly watch ’em smash it and its worm annihilate. and arm and drew my revolver with m right. I fired twice as rapidly as I could. I think the firat bullet killed him, for I felt him falling toward me just as I pulled the trigger the second time. The muzzle of my pistol was almost against his body. ‘As he fell I jumped back and looked to eee what the other two men would do. They were walking rapidly away. “Several men got off of a Case avenue car, and in a few seconde the dead man and I were surrounded by quite a crowd. Three solicemen came, and I told them what had appened. They examined the dead man and found his revolver clutched in his right hand. I was brought here and locked Up. That is all there is to it. I am sorry to be in trouble, because the loss of a little time means much to a man who has to work for his living, but I think I did right. If I had not killed the man he would have killed me, and I don’t want my wife to be wid- owed and my children ornhaned. “T have always carried a _ pistol while [Ser a ace eo = ~ en AL LTS SAS fy yp ‘ - SS —————— ‘ . es ~ = GEORGE GRAHAM. making my rounds at night, because on my route there are many tough characters, and I have been threatened several times.’’ ‘You're all right, George,’’ said the turn- key; “you did exactly right. It was a bet- eed ig than any of us have been able to do ately.’’ 3raham is a medium-sized man, hand- some, and looks the American to the core. He has the slightly aquiline nose, the gray- ish-brown eyes and well molded chin, typ- ical of the descendants of the men who wrested this land from the savages. He is profanity and slang. the police of the Fourth district, give him an excellent reputation. mild of manner and his gepeech is free of ! He is well known to} and wad “Foxy’’ McDonald was shot twice. One bullet went through his heart and the other through his left arm. He was prob- ably falling when the second shot was fired. He was the antipodes of Graham, morally and inteliectually. Born in Kerry DAN MURPHY, a we Oe Patch about 22 years ago, he was reared in an atmosphere that is very trying to the youthful character. His father was ‘*Red’’ McDonald, an old-time cab driver and owner. The family owned their home on Sarsfield place, but arter ‘“‘Red’s” death it was sold. They now live at 3135 Brant- ner place. “Foxy” was not of a high order of in- tellect and his tastes were depraved. He associated. with the worst crowd in the “Patch,’’ and persons who knew him say he was a criminal by instinct. The police knew him inia@ general way, but say he Was never convicted of any grave crime. Patrolmen Lynch, Fay and Birmingham arrived on the scene of the tragedy a few seconds after the shooting. They took the names of several persons who arrived be- fore them as witnesses. They are R. W. Sadring, 4920 Easton avenue; O. F. Mc- Donald, news agent at the Four Courts; Dr. J. Francis, and 8S. Gill, 3442 Fair street. These men heard the shots and jumped off the car that Graham referred to. Patrolmen Birmingham and Fowler were detailed to find McDonald’s companions. They found Dan Murphy at Twenty-third and O'Fallon streets attending the wake of Ed Toomey, who was killed in Ernst Beste’s saloon by Ed Dillard. Murphy’s face was blackened. He claims that he was at the wake all the evening and that somebody blacked his face while he was asleep as a contribution to the gayety of the occasion. Graham saw Murphy and eaid he thought he was one of McDonaid’s companions. Murphy has been arrested many times for crimes ranging from petit larceny to as- sault to murder. He and McDonald were birds of a feather. Frank (Munsell, alias “Butch,” is sus- pected by the polce to have been“with Mc- onald and Murphy. Coroner Wait will hold the inquest on McDonald Friday. When the dead man’s clothing was examined at the Morgue sev- eral pieces of wienerwurst were found in the pocket. Another piece was found in his left hand. This may throw a different l'ght on the tragedy. The Four Courts officials think possibly McDonald had snatched some of Graham's wares and drew his re- volver when payment was demanded. McDonald had on no socks and his toes protruded through the holes in his shoes. Chief Desmond said of the tragedy: “If the report of the officers is correct, Graham has done a better piece of work than the police have done in a long time. He deserves the thanks of every citizen and should get a medal. That killing will do much to put an end to lawless acts.’”’ CANNON FOR HUNTING A Missouri Farmer Will Slaughter Wild Geese in Salt River. Special to the Post-Dispatch. HANNIBAL, Mo., Jan. 13—James Sanners, who owns a large farm in Salt River bot- tom, Ralls County, came to Hannibal to- day and bought a large cannon, already mounted, and a large quantity of powder and shot with which to shoot wild geese. He says the wild geese are so numerous that they are destroying his corn In the shock and eating up the growing wheat. They are so wild that it is impossible to get near enough to them to shoot tiem with ordinary shotguns, so he decided to purchase a cannon. The cannon will be placed on a swivel and made stationary at some point in: the field and will be loaded with “buckshot,’’ so that he can shcot in any direction, and expects to kill the birds by the dozen. Each load will contain three pounds of shot and a half-pound of powder. This is a novel way to get rid of the geese and the citizens of Ralls County will wait with patience to learn the result.

IT IS DISPLAYED AT 719 PINE STREET WITH A BILL OF TARE. ONLY HORSEFLESH DISCUSSED. New Orleans Races Are Posted, Bets Are’ Taken and the Old Game Goes on as of Yore. A handbook poolroom is being conducted openly at 719 Pine street under the guise of a lunchroom. The observant policeman on the beat does not appear to have dis- covered this. The windows are frosted and the doors kept closed. At the front door is a large sign with the bill of fare for the day thus attractively set forth: Oxtail Soup. Roast Beef and Potatoes. Stuffed Veal. Wienerwurst and Sauerkraut. Rabbit Pot Pie. There is nothing to indicate from the out- to be. But if any one goes inside to satisfy his hunger, horseflesh is the only kind of meat he will hear discussed. and if he “oes against the game” he ts likely to be without the means of visiting a regular chop- house. The place ts run as openly as the pool- rooms were before the police closed them. There ts no blackboard, but on the wall the entries and odds for the New Orleans races were posted on a sheet of letter paper. The crowd was not as large Wednesday afternoon as used to obtain in the poolrooms, clerks, business men, tinhorn gamblers; and the conversation was all horsey. The jingle of coin was heard coming from a emall table where "wo men sat. They were taking all bets offered, There was no attempt at concealment. The handbook men were not slinking around as though in fear of arrest, It was an open game and any- body could come in—as open as any pool- room ever was. The bets were taken. and this game and the poolroom were the’ ab- telegraph instruments, the voice of the call- er and that of the bookmaker yelling to the crowd to “Come on and back ‘em, boys.” It was more quiet; that was ah, ANDRE SEEN IN AUGUST, A Report Received by Nordenskjold, the Arctic Explorer. STOCKHOLM, Jan. 13.—Prof. Nordensk- jold, the Arctic explorer, has informed the Swedish Academy of Science that the for- eign office has received intell gence that several persons worthy of credence saw Prof. Andre’s balloon early in August in British Columbia, seven miles nort& of Juesnelle Lake, in the District of Cariboo. The Professor regards the news as being of suffic'ent importance to call for closer in- vestigation. Andre sailed for the North Pole July 11. On July 22 a carrier pigeon from his balloon was captured, which brought a message from the explorer written three days after the start. his is the last authentic news received of the voyagers. a eee THE WEATHER FORECAST.

This alarming informa- tion came late. The President did not wish to act pre- cipitately, but the emergency had to be met promptly. The Navy Department was notified and Commodore Cc ronninshield, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, at once gent dis- sateches to Admiral Bunce with the White Squadron, to hold every vessel in prompt readiness at Key West and for the ves- sels at that point to be ready to start for Havana on signal, but not to land un- less instructed by Gen. Lee. The Key West squadron cannot be as- sembled before to-night, as they are hunt- ing filibusters. Not later than Friday they will be on hand. While alone they would be unable to do much at Havana and might serve to in- fiame the Spanish mob to greater excesses, they can give good account of themselves in preparing for the heavier fleet to follow. The torpedo fleet has been notified and can be put into Key West for a dash on Havana by Friday. RIOTING AT HAVANA. Autonomist Newspapers Raided and Many Outrages Perpetrated. HAVANA, Jan. 18.—The failure of civil government here is shown by the riotous events of the past 2% hours. Intense Spanish feeling, which goes hand im hand with anti- American sentiment, has broken loose in open violence. Yesterday forenoon, about 100 army of- ficers, incensed by the violent attacks made take her f° by some of the local paperg on the General- in-Chief and the principal officers of the | Spanish army in Cuba, went to the printing ce of the daily journals La Disoussion nd El] Reconcentrado and began smashing the Windows and es men howe the printing outfit, as well as cuffing the employes A mob of thousands followed, shouting “Tong live Spain,” ‘Long live the army, “Long live the volunteers.”’ The appearance at the office of La Dis- cussion of Gen. Garriche, acting military commander at Havana, and Senor Solano, chief of staff, prevented more serious out- rages, These officers then proceeded to the office of Ii Diaro de la Marina, the mob shout- ing meanwhile, ‘Death to El Reconcen- trado,”’ and “Death to La Discussion.” But on the appearance of Gen, Parrado the peo- ple scattered. At 11:30 large crowds of citizens appeared opposite the office of El Diario de la Ma- rnaand began smashing the windows and do rs and shouting ‘Long live Spain!’’ |“Long live the army!" “Long live the vol- | Untoore The gendarmes dispersed the olers Order was finally established. Central Park has been transformed into a military camp. There has been great excitement among the authorities, who have taken all necessary precautions to maintain order. The troops have been ordered to barracks. Gen. Solano will deal most severely and energetic ally with the initiators of the out- break. At 3:30 yesterday fternoon gromps of civilians formed in the Plaza de Armas in front of the palace shouting ‘ ‘Long live Spain!” ‘Lon l've the King!” “Long live Weyler!” and “Down with autonomy!” The cavalry came up, charged the groups (and dispersed them.

An additional ar- | ticle applies the decree to Spain or foreign newspapers and prohib'ts the circulation inj the island of such as infringe the law. The situation as it concerns the Amert- Cans is grave. Yesterday morning the Span- ish press strongly attacked the Americans, ineittner aga'nst them the wrath of the vol- unteers. La Union Constitucional said that the scheme for relieving the reconcentrados —- hypocritical trick, designed to insult ain, “he Amer'can residents fee] that they are in grave danger, and they are anxious over the situation. They have strongly urged Consul General Lee to demand a warship for their protection, GEN. LEE’S REPORTS. Startling Statements as to the Immi- nence of Starvation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—United S6tates Consul General Lee has reported to the State Department from Havana, under date of yesterday, the facts connected with the rioting there yesterday. While the State Department officials do not divulge the text of the dispatch, it is said that it corrobo- rates generally the newspaper reports on the subject. According to Gen. ee’s. re port the disturbance had been quelled for the time being, but he was apprehensive of another outbreak at any moment. Nothing has been heard from the Consul General to- day, so it ‘s assumed at the State Depart- ment that the situation remains unchanged in Havana. Gen. Lee did not ask to have a warship sent to Havena, and in the opin- ion of the State Depanmment officials that is a sufficient reason for the assumption that there is no occas'on for sending one. The officials are evidently not apprehensive of any trouble in the immediate future that will require the forcible intervention of our Government, The disquieting feature of the S:tuation is the horrible condition of the poor in Cuba. According to Gen. Lee's advices, no less than 200,000 people on the island are in the last stages of destitution and are wholly dependent upon charity. To feed these peo- le on a l10-cent ration per day would cost 20,000 day, which sum is double the Amount so far received in contributions by thé State Department. In the opinion of Gen. Lee, 20 per cent of these poor people are surely doomed to death from starva- tion and disease. In such a state of af- fains the existence of any form of organized government is threatened and the auton- om plans of Spain command Little atten- on, The naval authorities maintain their serenity, not withstanding many rumors of radical action, such as the dispatch of war- ahine to Havana and like stories Secretary Long was asked whether aany of the American ships had been ordered to be ready to sail for Havana. He replied that, while he could not discuss the matter he would say that he had not made any change in the battleship Maine, now lying at Key West. Inquiry developed the fact that the Maine’s last orders were to go out for target practice and upon falling in with the North Atlantic Squadron to attach her- self. Although there is no expectation at the Navy Department of any trouble just now, still in case it should occur the navy is more strongly represerited in Florida and West Indian waters than it has been in the past ten years. At Key West there is the second-class battleship Maine and the cruiser Marblehead; at Jacksonville the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius; at St. Kitts is the Annapolis and at Guadaloupe the Wilmington. The Detroit ison the way from Cape Haytien to Key West, where she is now due. The Marblehead is at Port Tam- pa, Fla. She suffered the injury of four men yesterday at target practice. She has been ordered to remain at Key West in- stead of salling for Navassa, according to Original orders, CALLS FOR INTERVENTION. How Cubans in This C This Country Regard the Riots in Havana.

In the interest of public safety, the thickness of walls of dwelling houses oufht to be in- creased, buttresses ought to | added to roofs should be strengthened and well anchored down.

As told in Wednesday's Post-Dispatch, Prof. Schenck has. proved, according to his own story, that.s¢x is but a matter 6f richness of blood and effection of digestion, Woman has a mil- Se) 6eks red blood corpuscles than man, and ton, Ke the number even she must eat well and Gig«st more perfectly. If this is so, woman is doomed. Science will eliminate her from the human race, We live in the age of pepsin tablets. The pepsin tablets is woman's worst enemy.

Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. FALL RIVER, Jan. 13.~A spectacle un- paralleled in the industrial world began to- day, when the reduction of the wages of nearly a quarter of a million men, women and children employed in New England cotton factories started. Each one of these individuals will hereafter receive 10 or 11 cents less on the dollar than they have been earning, In addition to the quarter of a million actual workers affected there are concerned half a milion other persons, represented by the families of operatives, It is the most sweeping reduction ever made in the cotton manufacturing business. The fact that all the operatives but those employed in the high-class goods mills of New Bedford and Lawrence submitted to the reduction, although under protest, is an indication of the extraordinary condi- tions prevailing that cause such extreme reduction, In Massachusetts, notably in Fall River, where the cut down started, it is supposed to affect 75 mill treasurers, who never be- fore suffered such a reduction. In New Bed- ford the same cut-down in high-priced sal- aries Occurs, and in Fall River members of the Association of Manufacturers them- Selves advised the cut down of salaries as well as wages, ew milis in New England, whether 10- cated fn the great mill centers or scattered in small towns over the six States, but have posted notices of reductions. In many, however, the cut will not be made until next Monday, but in a majority it was made yesterday. Among the centers in which every cotton manufacturing em- bioyee is affected are these: ’ Hands.

Members of the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange Talk of the City, The annual banquet of the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange at the Mercantile Club Wednesday evening was a notable affair in many ways. The guests represented brains and capital, and their history is the history of St. Louis for the past 0 years. The 20 members of the Exchange were at the banquet, and there were several vis- iting guests from Chicago and Kansas City. The table was beautifully arranged and artistically @ecorated. The menu was elaborate and the speeches interesting and not too long. There ‘was music by a quar- tette and Prof. A. G. Robyn, and comic recitations by A. “R. Schollmeyer between the addresses and a violin solo by Sidney Schiele, President EK. B. Wolff of the Exchange sat at the head of the table, with Mayor Ziegenhein at his right. At 7 o’clock the banquet began. At 9 the toasts were called for, and at 12 o’clock the pleasant gathering came to an end. Mr. Wolft’s was thé first address. He con- cluded by introducing F. W. Mott, who acted as toastmaster. The set speeches were made by Mayor Ziegenhein, Breckin- ridge Jones and Assessor A. H. Frederick.

WHEAT PLACED ON BARGES, Half a Million Bushels of the Cereal Drawn From the Elevators. Wheat amounting to nearly 600,000 bushels is being drawn out of St. Louis elevators and loaded on barges. The total stock in St. Louls is about 3,- 000,000 bushels. None of the grain drawn out has moved from this port. It belongs to the Haarstick-Spencer contingent, the members of which are not going out of their way to make their plans known. There is a general impression on ’Change that the wheat is not to be shipped immediately, but is baéme placed on barges to relieve the congested condition of the elevators. The report that the French Government intends to reduce the duty on wheat keeps bobbing up, but it has never been officially confirmed and the United States Govern- ment reports do not treat it seriously. The French Premier announced early in the season that the duty would not be changed, Local exporters say they would like to sea it reduced, but deny that the prospect of its reduction is influencing their actions. The revival of the report had no marked effect on the market Thursday. May wheat opened at 93%c. Trading was light and fluctuations few. NO WARRANT FOR KOERNER. Col.

In consequence of the Kiao-Chau affair extra precautions are being taken, accord- ing to the native papers, to protect mission- aries and their property. The churches in many places are being guarded by Chinese braves. The priests arrested by Chinese authorities in connection with the alleged fraudulent sale to Russia of land in e Kiu Kiank Mountains have died as a result of tortures. hree more are in prison, and unless speed- ily helped, will meet with a similar fate. A native telegram received from Peking reports that Viceroy Chan Chin Tung has energetically protested to the throne against the granting of the German de- mands and he especially protests against the dismissal of ex-Gov. Ping eng, whom he declares to have been in no wise to blame in the matter of the recent mur- der of German priests. He fears that if Li Ping Heng be dismissed the other c- eroys and Governors will resent the in- justice done to their colleagues. The Vic- eroy further declares that the people are loyal to the throne and only need men to lead them. His excellency offers himself as one of several high officials of the Empire who will be willing to lay down their lives if nec- essary for the dynasty. The report goes on tosay that the Emperor dropped some tears upon reading Viceroy Chang's me- mor'al and looked questioningly at the members of the Grand Council around him, hoping for some one to indorse Viceroy Chang’s words, but no one opened his mouth, while every eye was bent to the ground as if afraid to catch the Sovereign’s gaze.

As 4 photographer I can find points to criticise, but con- sidering the conditions un- der which the work ts done and the time tn which It fe done, I repeat it is wonder- fully fine work. I do not like the yellow background pf this week's picture, but perhaps it has symbolite significance. The left shoulder is made too prom- inent, but since the work is a @Girect reproduction frém a photograph that Is the fault of the positionist, A man who perfectly un- derstands the chemistry of photography and is at the same time a master of the process by which this work is done should be able to accomplish almost as perfect results as in photography. - The flesh tint in this picture is par- ticularly well shown, The hazy effect is almost more pleasing than in a photo- graph, WM.

HE color work in the Woman's World sec- tion of the Sunday Post-Dispatch is wonderful, I have been watching there pictures, It is a mystery to mé how it is done on news- paper presses, I cannot understand ft. If I unders stood the process perhaps my wonder and apprecta- tion would be greater an4 I could express 4 more wate isfactory opinion. I see some defects, but they seem to be due as much as anything to lack of care. This is particularly true of the left outline of the figure on the first page of last Sunday's paper, which is sharp and hard, apparently for no other reason than that due eare was not exercised. All things considered, though, every detail is very fine and it is a marvel to me how the Post-Dispatch can do it. J. BE.

np fe & See % e 4 OE Bik 3 Vee, 7 INTO GOLD. ———_ C. W. Smith of Moline, Makes Anthracite of Bituminous. ST. LOUIS MAY BE A KLONDIKE. THERE’S A HUNDRED PER CENT PROFIT IN EVERY TON OF THE NEW FUEL. PEORIA BIDS FOR THE PLANT. St. Louis High Commercial Standing and Its Better Distributing Facil- ities Will Probably Have Strong Bearing on Site Selection. Cc, W. Smith of Moline, Tll., who is regis- tered at the Southern, is in the city for the purpose of establishing a plant which will sompietely transform and revolutionize the inthracite coal industry. Mr. Smith has nvented a process by which the common xituminous coal can be converted into an- thracite and sold almost as cheaply as the soft coal. Mr. Smith said of his invention: “It re- moves all the gas and oj! from the ordinary soft coal, reducing it to 13-20ths anthractte and making a fuel much more valuable than either of the coals sold directly from the only question remaining with Mr. is the location for his plant. The » of Peoria, Ill, have made a proposi- for its establishment in that city, whiére soft coal is abundant. But capitalists in St. Louis, who have watched the devel- opment of the new process, have offered en- couraging inducéments for the locatign of the plant in this city, where shipping facil- iticS are much more advantageous, Mr. Smith has had several conferences with those imterested, but will return to Moline before determining what course to pursue, What he most desires is a location that w.ll give him an abnudance of soft coal and equal facilities for shipment. The advan- tage claimed by Peoria is the immediate presence of great coal mines, among which the plant could be established, with inex- haustible material at hand. On the side of St. Louis is the easy reach of bituminous coal, and the greatest facilities for ship- ping, besides the prestige of a great munici- pality. “There ‘gs no question whatever,’’ says Mr. Smith, “about the success of the invention. That was settled ence and for all before any movement was made looking to the estab- lishment of the plant.” When the new industry gets into work- ing order it is expected by its promoters that a revolution in fuel will follow quickly. The high price of anthracite would naturally dr'ye factories, foundries and homes into an investigation of any fuel that is cheaper no matter whether its claims of superiority were realized. : A coa} burning even equally well with anthracite, at a reduction of $2 or $3 a ton would drive the hard coal market into ex. tremities. The present price of anthrac'te is $7 a ton, which varies little during the year, and bituminous sells at $3 to &3.50. Given a coal selling between the with the good qualities of one and of the bad two, none qualities of the other, and you have what Mr. Smith thinks is the gold mine now in his possession. : Incidentally it would solve the smoke yeaa and make St, Louis cleaner than Whether the plant ts located in St. Touts Or Peoria the new coal is expected to be upon the market by next fall. . ~--~}--- — They Detail the Manner of Hastings’ Death at Draper’s Hands. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JACKSONVILL®, Ii., Jan. 13.—The Dra- per trial was more interesting to-day, as the doctors who examined the body after death were on the stand. Dr. W. K. Mc- Laughlin told with detail how the murdered man met his end, He explained the con- dition of the body and described the many aping wounds inflicted. No doubt Hast- ngs wrists were first cut and then the struggle began, the murderer hacking away on the left side of the body until his victim was weak with the loss of blood and un- able to defand himself, and then the cruel knife was drawn acroes the left side of the neck, probably many times, until a vital Spot was reached. It eres that it took several cuts to reach the jugular vein and carotid artery. Hv. Johnson conducted a searching cross-examination. Dr. H. H, Carter was oe at the post mortem and admitted hat probably only one cut was fatal, and that the one which severed the jugular vein.

My heart goes out in Bympathy to her distressed citizens. Is there anything 1, as Governor, can do to aid in relief?" few moments later the Governor re- ceived the following telegram from J. hHiocage Tyler of Virginia: “The great calamity that has befallen the ¢citizena of Fort Smith has drawn forth the a at aympathy of our people.” if telegram was also forwarded to Mayor Garrett.

IMPROVEMENTS. Question Will Come Before the People in the Form of Amendments to the Charter. Ten clerks are working overtime in the Election Commissioners’ offices at the new City Hall. They are prepar‘ng the primary books for an anticipated spring election. “There is no regular election this spring for any municipal office,” says Election Commissioner Saunders, “but the board is convinced there will be a special vote or- dered upon proposed amendments [to the Scheme and Charter. If our anticipations are realized, we shall be ready. If they are not, no harm can result from our prepar- ations.”’ The conditions which the board considers a warranty for their haste are these: Mayor Ziegenhein has determined to characterize his administration by a policy of public im- provements that will place the city in the front rank of great municipalities. There stands in history tne charter limit of 2% per cent, which thas heretofore foiled every effort to secure the improvements absolutely demanded, He has made up his mind the limit must be removed or the city cannot progress. A removal of the limit has heretofore been a decidedly un- popular proposition, defeated in the Su- oe Court after enactment by the} Legis- ature, Against that proposal the Mayor | makes another an offset. Under existing law the contractor's bill for improvement is a lien upon property, which must be paid in 90 days. It is a hardship which) 50 per cent of the property-owners cannot stand and which greatly retards the buying of homes by men of moderate and small means. The Mayor proposes that this shall be changed so that bills for improve- ments may be paid the contractor in bonds, the ¢ity giving the property-owners a period Of years to meet the cost of improving their property on the time-payment lan, These are the amendments which Mayor Ziegenhein proposes shall be submitted to the people in April or May next. When the Board of Public Improvements paid their respects to the Mayor, on New Year’s Day, His Honor told them he wanted them to move quickly in the matter of preparing these amendments to the charter. t is well understood the chief purpose of the junket of Assemblymen to Eastern cities is itQat on their return they may give a glowing description of what hts been ac- complished in smaller cities in the way of public improvements, and thus arouse the St. Louis people to a sense of the necés- sity of immediate and intelligent -action. The amendments proposed by the Charter Amendment Commission have already fall- en by the wayside as being too radical, since they undertook to overthrow the ten- ure of offices and the time of making ap- pointments., Now Mayor Ziegenhein has the subject in hand and there is a rumor that the Mayor has dropped a hint to the Board of Elec- tion Comm/'ssioners to be prepared for a Special election this spring upon the two amendments to the charter, which he will have submitted to the people through the Board of Public Improvements and the Mu- nicipal Assembly. The Commissioners have certainly im- bibed the idea that the Mayor is in position to make good his policy, and hence the ac- tivity in the board in moving to meet an expected demand upon them. as Fresh and best Cakes, Ice-Cream, Bread and Rolls delivered to your homes.

A number of medals ITCHING PILES AND OTHER’ RECTAL TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A NEW AND SAFE METHOD. A Remarkable Number of Cures Made by the Pyramid Pile Cure. About one person in every four suffers from some form of rectal: disease. The most common and annoying itching piles, indicated by warmth, slight mois- ture and intense, uncontrollable itching in the parts affected. The usual treatment has been some sim- ple ointment or salve which sometimes give temporary relief, but nothing like a permanent cure can be expected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for itching piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for itching piles, but tor every other form of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding. The first application gives instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the intense itching and discomfort of itching piles. Many physicians for a long time sup- posed that the remarkable relief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was supposed to contain cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but such is not the case. A recent caretul analysis of the remedy showed it to be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact any poigonous, injurious drugs whatever. For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is probably the only pile cure extensively recommended by physicians, because it is so safe, so prompt in the relief afforded and so far as known the only positive cure for piles o— a surgical operation. In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has become the best known, the safest and the most extensively sold of any pile cure before the public. Nearly all druggists now sell it at 50 cents and $1 per package. Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall. Mich., for book on cause and cure of piles is and also hundreds of testimonials from all parts of the United States. 1 suffering from any form of piles ask ‘our druggist for a package of Pyramid ile Cure and try it to-night, | WHY WOMEN LOOK OLD. Some Women Look Fresh and Young at Fifty. Others Appear Old and Dragged Out at Twenty-Five. Did It Ever Strike You That There Must Be a Reason for This ? : ‘How old L look!” is what women say to their mirror. : The passing years are not what make the average woman grow old in looks, but the condition of nerve weakness, poor blood and low vitality. Some women of fiity preserve the youthful appearance of twenty-five. The average woman of to- day, however, appears old at thirty, with dull, hollow-ringed eyes, thin, pinched, pale cheeks, sallow complexion, dark or bloodless lips, the face lined, and the ex- pression the opposite of vivacious. With good digestion, strong nerves and good blood any woman can keep herself young, fresh and youthful appearing, and she can attain this much desired condition by using that greatest nerve and blood in- vigorator known to modern science, Dr. Greene's Nervura. It is positively aston- ishing what this remarkable remedy will do for women. It is almost a Fountain of Youth, for it renews and maintains youth by creating perfect and complete health. Just see what its use did for Mrs. Ormiston Frain of 83 Park Place, Passaic, N. J. She says: “T feel it my duty to testify to the mer- its of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Eight years ago I was taken very sick with pains in my back and lower limbs. I was unable to stand or to be about at all, and had to take to my bed. The doctors said I had womb trou- bles, and I kept changing doctors all the time, but got no relief. One day when I was going to call in anew doctor, a friend called and asked me if I had ever tried Dr. Greene’s Nervura. She per- suaded me to buy a bottle; so I bought a bottle and after a few doses I could feel a change. By the time the first bottle was used up I| felt much stronger and my pains didn’t seem quite sointense. Aftera time I could walk a mile and very seldom lie down in the daytime. As I grew stronger the pains gradually left me. I sincerely recommend Dr. Greene’s Ner- vura in all cases where a general tonic is needed, and as a blood purifier.” All women should take Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy in order to attain health, strength and beauty.

The Agricultural Appropriation Bill Taken Up. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The House to- day entered upon the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. The bil] carries $3,323,402, being $135,600 In excess of the amount for the current year. Mr. Wadsworth (Rep., N.

C. Lyles Sues the Sligo Iron Store Co. for 810.000, A. C. Lyles, a tailor at 12% Cass avenue, has filed a $10,000 damage suit against the Sligo Iron Store Co. Mr. Lyles Says that on December 17, 1897, the company without reasonable cause had him arrested by the police om a charge of receiving stolen goods, had him locked up in the police etation at Seventh and Carr etreets for several hours and subjected him to great humiliation by calling him a thief in the presence of the police officials, On the same day, he says. his premises were searched by violence without good rea- son and cause. His business has been seri- ously damaged and his former customers have abandoned him, he claims, so that he is in much distress.

The Pastor Says It Is Near at Hand and That He Will Be Prepared When the Opportunity Occurs At the Merchants’ League Club’s emanci- pation celebration Wednesday night, Chaun- cey I. Filley, in the course of a speech, said: ' “Did old Dr. Boyd get me, or did I get im ?’’ As Mr. Filley did not answer the ques- tion, the task fell to Dr. Boyd, “Dia@ you get him or did he get you?” asked the Post-Dispatch reporter of the reverend ex-President of the Civic Feder- ation Thursday morning. Dr. Boyd swayed back and forth in his big rocker, looked at the floor, then at the ce:l- ing and finally at his questioner, then said: “TI do not know that I care to epee’ of Mr. Filley, or any other disagreeable topic just now. My mind is on church work. Thinking or speaking of Mr. Filley would divert my thoughts from the channel in which I would have them run, “Why should I answer Mr. Filley? I have retired from the field of politics. True, my opinion of Mr. Filley has not changed. He knows what I think of him. I have not hesitated to express my contempt for his methods. I never stood back as jong as I was in the fight and meant all I said. Personally there should be no animosity between me and Mr. Filey. There is none on my part, but he is so constituted that he finds the greatest pleasure in putrid per- sonalities, Nothing is too contemptibly mean for him to do toa man who differs from him in politics or who, though of the same political faith, dares assail the -n- iquitous machine which he controls and uses to do his dirty work. ‘When he marks a man a target for his spleen he aims to crush him. He does not fight him in the open fleld of polttics alone. He follows him into his social and family life and considers no means unworthy of his urpose to blast an opponent's reputation. No man is his friend whose personality is too strong to permit of his incorporation in the Filley machine. Outside of the element that goes to make up that machine Filley’s influence amounts to nothing. ‘Ag I said I do not care to answer his question. I am out of the fleld. Mr, Filley ia still in it, or thinks he is, which to him amounts to the same thing. I will say, though, that Mr. Filley did not get me. I never tried to get im. would not have any use for him if I got him. I don’t want him. “He is nearing his political goal, the oblivion that follows an Iill-spent life.

They will come together for a $10,000 purse seven | weeks from now. Peter Jackson, the greatest heavy weight ‘boxer ever produced by the African race, has not engaged in a serious ring battle ‘ gince May 30, 1892, when he knocked out the ' then formidable Frank Slavin in 10 flercely ‘fought rounds. Since that date Jackson has played “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and Uncle Tom gin with great assiduity. It is questionable which pastime has had | the most trying effect on the constitution 'of the herculean negro. After six years of fistic idleness, but liquid industry, the West Indian has de- cided to engage in a twenty-round tussle with that fiery Hibernian, Peter Maher. Maher in his present form should give a og sy Peter Jackson a great battle, and it S quite plain what the result should be to the déteriorated West Indian. In a long battle Maher’s superior condition should win. In a short, fierce mix up, the Irish- man’s terrific hitting should carry the day. Jackson will have the advantage of ‘weight, height and reach, but this will be offset by Maher's form. Jackson's wonderful endurance when at his best was shown at San Francisco in 1891, when on a lame foot he fought Jim Corbett sixty-one rounds to a draw. The bout was declared no contest by the ref- eree®, wh.ch enabled the club officia!s to hold back part of the purse. Jackson is with- out question one of the most intelligent men in the roped arena. With a good command of language, he is a close observer and reader, and can discuss intelligently a wide range of Subjects. It is to be regretted that a man who performed so well in the ring, | when his powers were at their zenith, should ‘now, in the days of his decadence, fee] called on to again take the hard knocks which fall to the lot of the professional boxer. While condition will doubtless win the battle, a comparison of the boxers’ dimen- sions will doubtless prove interesting: Maher. 29 , normal st, expanded Waist This will be really the biggest fight they have had out on.the coast since the Jef- fries-Choynski match. ' THE KID AT HOME. McCoy Given a Great Reception by His Friends at Indianapolis. Kid McCoy received a Breat reception at his home in Indianapolis Tuesday n'‘ght. He appeared at the Empire on the pro- €1 imme with the Reilly & Woods combina- tion, and long before the curtain went up ‘the management was compelled to close the box office. Every seat, as well as standing room only, was pre-empted, and feats were also placed in the wings on the stage, all of which were greedily se zed ‘upon. The entire orchestra seats were pre- empted by students of the University of In- dianapolis, who raised the college yell on seeing McCoy, while the college colors were flaunted wildly and tossed over. the foot- lights. Many of the members of Reilly & Woods’ troupe possessed themselves of the trophies and joined ‘n the clamor. During the day Homer and his brother called upon their parents, who gave a cordial welcome to the homecoming boys.

ROCKFORD, Il., Jan. 13.—This is baseball! carnival week in Rockford. The directors of the local Western Association team, hav- ing hit upon a novel means of raising — for the support of next season’s club, Cen- tral Hall will be open five nights, and the national game will hold sway, (despite tne fact that it is generally accepted as peing out of season, Pe This city is proud .of the title of vee cradie of basebull.”’ The old Forest Citys 0! Rockford numbered such stars as Adrian C. Anson, Al G, Spalding, Ross Barnes and Bon Addy. The directors of the club have decided to get the old-timers to give midwinter rem- iniscences at the carnival. Anson could not be present, owing to the marriage of h's daughter this week, but A. G. Spalding, who formerly lived in this city, will attend the carnival Thursday night. On that even'ns H. H. Waldo, who was known as the father of the old Forest Citys, and who umpired the game Harry Wright day last year, will ive some reminiscences. Novel programmes ave been arranged for the other evenings of the carnival, Baseball never pays for itself in Rockford, The people demand too fast a game for that. Last season the club, which was supported by liberal] citizens, landed in third place. This year it is thought the carnival will net enough to buy some minor league Rusies and Dahlens and win the pennant. BEN BRUSH AND KEENE. The Dwyers’ Crack Horse to Race Un- der New Colors. The sale of Ben Brush to James R. Keene was not a surprise, as it was surmised such a transaction would result sooner or later. Mr. Keene tried for Hamburg, but couldn’t stand the price named on him, so quietly withdrew and took up the matter with M. F. Dwyer as to Ben Brush, he great son of Bramble. It is rumored he paid the Brooklyn turfman $25,000 for the great racehorse and in a few days will doubtless announce just his destination— whether to race in England, here or to go to the stud, Ben ‘Brush has to his credit the following stakes in ‘his 4+year-old year—1897: Suburban ‘handicap, Omnibus _— stakes, Brighton handicap, Citizens’ stakes, Graves- end special, first and second division. -_—@- — Tobe’s Last.Home Run. Last Wednesday morning, if you had listened closely, you would have heard cheers and a clapping of hands and cymbals and then a gentle closing of gates. The sound came from the angels out of the blue ski@s and they cheered for poor Tobe, who, just as the bright morning came, scored his last hame run, Long years ago When there were more roses about St. Lowis in the summer than there are now, and more fields of blue- grass young Tobe was a great ball player. He was a member iof the Empires in their palmy days and his friends were legion. Then he went to work with pencil and in his later years he wrote of the doings of the ball players of long ago. The series of articles published last winter and the win- ter before referring to old time ball games in St. Louis were his last efforts and they will go to form a part of the history of the National Game, To-day from the door of the humble resi- dence of Edmund H. Tobias, there flutters a piece of crepe that tells the story. Poor Tobe has made his last home run. Captain Anson’s Daughter Married. CHICAGO, Jan.-13.—Grace Anson, daugh- ter of Capt. Anson of the Chicago base- ball nine, was married at the home of her parents last night to Mr. Walter H. Clough of this city. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Henson. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Adele Anson, and the bridegroom by his brother, Mr. Frank Clough of Kansas City, Mo.

But If Anyone Asks You, Tell Them That the Old Man Still Has a Whole Lot to Say. Chris Von der Ahe, this morning, woke up to find himself no longer president of the St. Louis Browns. He has held that place since 1880 and did not resign it until yesterday. Then the long contemplated change at Sportsman’s Park took place. The news got out late yesterday afternoon when Secretary Muckenfuss and John M. Glover reached the Recorder’s office and placed on file a chattel deed of trust given by the Sportsman’s Park and Club and securing various amounts aggregating over L0G, 00U, ’ Von der Ahe was named as the biggest creditor, he putting in a claim against the association which amounted to over $100,- UUU. He is also named as trustee and is au- thorized to take charge of all the assets of the club, which consist of the entire Sportsman’s Park outfit, and sell the prep- erty at private sale in six months. The stockholders and the directors of the club held a very quiet meeting yes- terday morning, at which Von der Ahe re- signed as president and treasurer of the club. What other officers there were fol- lowed suit. Then a new election was held at which B. S. Muckenfuss was elected president and J. W. Peckington secretary. As soon as the new officers were elected they went to work, fixed up a chattel deed of trust, made Von der Ahe a preferred creditor to the tune of over $100,000, and then filed the same in the office of the Re- corder of Deeds. In-+other words, they transferred all of the assets of the concern to Von der Ahe for what they term ‘the benefit of the creditors.”’ Mr. Von der Ahe’s claims against the coneern are twenty notes of $1000 each, thirty notes of $1000 each, one note of $13,935.72, one of $12,000 and one of $3950. A score or more of other notes and claims, rang We from $50 to $1962.50, are mentioned by Mr. Von der Ahe, the total aggregating $108, 962. There are also other claims amounting to about $17,500. Nothing is said in the deed of trust about the Lecker note of $10,000 and the $20,000 first mortgage bonds which fall due on Saturday next. Thies deed will not interfere with duly recorded mortgages or judgments held against Sportsman’s Park. The Becker note and the $20,000 bonds probably come —— — ne ee — Go to your grocer to-day and get a 15c. package of Grain=0 It takes the place of cof- fee at } the cost.

Von der Ahe is authorized to sell the property within six months and to look after the assets in the meanwhile, so that he ie cote still in charge of it. Sheriff Troll yesterday levied on several pieces of property in which the Sports- man’s Park and Club is supposed to have an interest. This was by virtue of an exe- cution issued some time ago by the_ Cir- cuit Court in favor of the Aetna Iron Works. Half an hour after the filing of the paperé in the Recorder’s office, Von der Ahe, Muckenfuss and Von der Ahe’s attorney, John W. Glover, were found in the latter's office. Even when asked about his health, Von der Ahe said: ‘‘See my attorney.” The whole matter, it would appear by this, is in the hands of Mr. Glover, and any one not liking the way the 2 te yreeee coos Club and Park business was settied yester- day will have to deal with him. CORNELL'S GOOD CAPTAIN. He Wants the Rowing Clubs of All the Big Universities to Join in a Scheme. ITHICA, N. Y., Jan. 13.—Capt. Frederick D. Colson of the Cornell crew has set forth in a long letter Cornell's rowing policy. He also suggests the formation of a rowing association, and in making the suggestigqn says Cornell has no other motive than to advance the interests of the sport. He adds: “After accepting the proposition of the Yale University Be Ciub for a race on the terms proposed by Yale, the Cornell Navy wishes to express its own preferences in general for an open regatta controled by the five universities usually participat- ing in rowing. Such a regatta _ Cornell gladly stands ready to enter. In case, however, it is imposzible to organize such regatta Cornell still believes that in view of the complications which are arising from the difficulty of arranging races and dates among these five’ universities it would be advantageous for all and bene- ficial to coNege rowing if a rowing associa- tion representing the five should be formed. Such an association could at least, by the convienence of conference it would afford. facilitate the task of arranging places and dates in case two 8-oared races are rowed and also aid in broadening the scope of rowing competition by introducing, for in- stance, rowing in 4-oar pairs or singles, and perhaps with combinations of colleges other than those heretofore made. We therefore invite Yale to become a member of such an association, and we shall at the same time extend a like invitation to Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell.” UNCLE FILLEY WAS A SPEAKER. Merchants’ League Club Celebrates the Emancipation Act. The thirty-first anniversary of the Mis- sourl emancipation act, passed by a const!- tutional convention in St. Lou's, Jan. 11, 1865, was celebrated Wednesday evening by the Merchants’ League.

The unconscious man was covered with some wheat sacks and left in the outhouse to sleep off his in- toxication. Death came to him while alone. For several years Woerther and his wife had been employed by Mr. Niere, who ‘s one of the most extensive farmers in St. Louis County. The man worked on the farm and his wife in the house. Two weeks ago Mrs. Woerther got a divorce from her husband. Since then Woerther drank heav- ily, and Mr. Niere determined to get rid of him, but to keep the woman. Tuesday afternoon Woerther was dis- charged. He left the N'ere farm, which is just on the Manchester line. Late tn the evening he returned. He was under the influence of liquor and wanted his wife. The farmer ordered Woether to leave, He refused, unless he could take his wife with him. Words followed words and Mr. Niere ejected him from the house. Woerther started for the gate. Three hours later the farmer heard a man coughing and heard groans. He took a lantern to investigate, and found Woer- ther unconscious in a corner of the fence. He called William Groth, a neighbor, and “he two men dragged Woerther into the granary on Mr. Niere’s place, 5) yards from where the unconscious man was found and threw geome wheat sacks over him, think- ing, as they say, the drunken man would soon sleep off his Intoxication. Barly Wednesday morning Mr, Niere went to the granary and there found Woerther dead and stiff. MR. BARKER'S EXPERIENCE. Met a_ Siren and Lost All His Money.

TERRD HAUTE, Ind., Jan, 13.—From the lap of luxury to a hopeless wreck from whisky; from the gon of a once millionaire to being compelléd to beg for something to eat. This is the situation of Oscar Johns, one of the best-known young men of Terre Haute. Who does not know “Oc” Johns in Terre Haute? In his palmy days he spent his father’s money like water and he was followed by a train of hangers-on, Now he is 80 poor and miserable that there is scarcely any one who will even notice him as he begs for a dime first from this one and then from another to get either bread or whisky. Johns was recently arrested for stealin — from Ed Hampton's drug gtore, bu le wag released yesterday, Mr. Hampton refusing to prosecute. Fifteen years ago ‘“‘Oc’’ Johns’ father, hom B. Johns, was one of the widest known and most influential men in the whole Wabash Valley. He was counted a millionaire and Johns’ lumber yards at Terre Haute, Indianapolis and other citi his great wheat farms in this county an his saw milis in the lumber regions made him known far outside this State. "*T. B.,” as everybody called him, sent Oscar to an 'Kastern college and during Vacations the young man would bring home with him some of his aristocratic chums, and there used to be gay old times in the ‘‘Tender- loin’ distrio: of Terre Haute. The Johns mansion, at Sixth and Oak streeta was ad. mitte@dly the finest residence in the city, and it was the scene of some of the most brildant social functions, Then camé, afier a succession of Dusineas reverses, the death of “T.

He was known to have carried heavy life insurance, but when the polic were ex- amined, chey were all 4 able to his estate, so that the widow and the children had nothing for themselves. Grain gambiing was the enerally accepted reason for Johns’ collapse, as he was known to deal on the Chicago Board of Trade at times quite heavily, When the old man died it was practically of broken heart.

There is no such thing as happiness without health. All the gold in the world will not make a man happy, who feels in his veins and sees in the reflection of his own face, the slow but sure advance of man’s deadliest enemy, consumption. If a man will but take the right care of himself and the right remedy he may. protect himself against this relentless enemy. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is not only a sure preventive, but an absolute cure for consumption. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases. It acts, through the blood, directly on the lungs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—The stock market was un- settled at the opening by the news from Havana of unfriendly demonstrations against the United States. Some striking declines were shown, and the exceptions on the side of gains were few. The railroads generally showed losses extending up to 5%, the latter in Burlington, and Northern Pacifie preferred was off %. Sugar and National Lead lost nearly a point. Chesapeake & Obio and New York Central were the only railroads to show gains. Manhattan opened with simultaneous sales of 1500 shares at 117 and 117%, against 116% last night, but quickly receded to last night’s level. Metro- politan Street Railway also showed a small gain. The bulls rallied to the support of the market after the opening and heavy buying orders in Man- bhattan and Northern Pacific steadied values, which moved up to about yesterday’s closing level. Man- hattan was quite buoyant and touched 118%. The bears then made a renewed attack op Sugar and the coalers, which developed into a neral selling movement. Omaha and Sugar lost 24%, Lackawanna 1%, New Jersey Central 144, General Electric 14 and many other shares about a point. A good demand for New York Central and Lake Shore caused a rise of over a point In the former and of 2 in the latter. Brooklyn Transit also gained 2 points and Manbattan recovered to the best. The reaction in the general list was ar- rested and prices stiffened slightly all around. Third avenue was under pressure and lost 2 ints.

Treasurer of the Party Has Two Thou- sand Dollars of the City’s Money to Spend for the Cause. The official junketing frolic disguised un- der the pseudonym of ‘The Good Streets Commission,” will leave Thursday night with $2000 of the city’s money for a three weeks’ trip through the North and East. They are: President McMath of the Boarg of Public Improvements, Street Commission- er Milner, also a member of the Board of Public Improvements, Assistant Street Com- missioner Julius Wurzburger, Councilmen Uthoff and Kratz and Speaker Lehmann. and Alderman Schaefer of the House of Delegates. Mayor Ziegenhein was slated to be the star of the junket company, but he refused to g0, because he could not con- scientiously participate in spending public money so frivolously when the streets and other departments of the city were suffering for financial relief. The gities to be visited are Detroit, Buf- falo, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and New York. President McMath will be chairman of the committee, and Council- man Uthoff handier of the pursestrings. When the junket was proposed both Mr. McMath and Mr. Milner denounced it aa a useless expense of money, and at a time when the streets of the cities to be visited would be so thickly covered with enow and slush that no practical observations could be made. More than thie, the mem- bers insisted they had been over all the round often and recently, and it was not resh information they wanted as to con- struction and care of streets, but more money, and they would guarantee St. Louis as good streets as are be found any- where. However, after several conferences with the other fellows who were bent on making the trip as a rest from arduous labors, at the city’s expense, the Board members consented to pilot the eager etatesmen around the circuit. No one has ever been able to find out why it ig that the Street Commissioner and his ass stant should ee a on the junket, but it is understood that the junket idea would have never been conceived had not Julius Ware been in it, and it would not look well to take Wurzburger alongand leave his chief out. ; The Street Department will be without a head for the next three weeks. So also will be the House of Delegates, as agp pro tem Wittenberg is away from the city for his health. The Board of Public Improvements will meet as usual, but it will not be able to pass on any general legislation, for the law requires such matters to be considered by the whole board. The most important measure pending be- fore the board is the new city lighting or- dinance, and President McMath is a mem- ber of the Lighting Committee, with Messrs, Holman and Colby. Great pressure has been brought to bear to hurry this ordl- nance, and several drafts of an ordinance of that purport have been submitted, but none of them were deemed valid. The lighting ordinance will go over until Mr. MoMath’s return, COTTON. OOAL MARKET—Steady and 1-16e lower. Sales, ae les.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—-A decline of %c marked the opening in wheat to-day, May starting at GOlge, against yesterday's closing price of 90%c. Thero was some short selling and liquidation at the start, which caused a further decline to 89%c in the first few minutes’ trading, but there was a good demand for wheat below 0c, the bull clique ing especially prominent In the buying, and a gradnal gro | ta 00'44G100%c ensued.

Schrady of this city doubts Schenck’s discovery. Dr. Cyrus Edson {s also ‘akeptical, but acknowledges that breeders of j}eattle have long been able to determine sex ‘{n a large majority of cases. | Prof. Ward of the National Museum tin ‘Washington, D. C., rather thinks a dis- leovery has been made, but he is non- | plussed, as for years his investigations @long a similar line have brought him toa ‘directly opposite conclusion and instead ‘of produc!ng males he secured females. He }@xperimented with plants and bees. “Of course,”’ he said, “it is well known jthat the way’ queen bees are created in a hive is by taking any pupa and overfeeding it, as you may say. This, the bees them- igelves kriow how to do, and if the queen happens to die they will go and get anoth- ‘er pupa, sequestrate it, feed it abundantly jand it will be sure to be a queen.”’ | Wrofessors and physicians in Baltimore, (Philadelphia, at Yale, Harvard and other — hold conservative views and are l@waiting fiirther investigations. Prof. Henry L. Swain, M. D., of Yale Medical School, himself a scientist, is great- ty interested. Prof. Swain says: | “I do mot think it an impossibfilty that Prof. Schenck may have made the discov- ery claimed. Indeed, I think it highly probable that the secret of sex will in time ‘be discovered and made plain, “Experiment has shown that the eex of , for instance, can be controlled at In the earlier etages the eggs are entirely sexless, ibut by regulating the temperature of the water in which the eggs are placed the sex ‘may be controlled. Colder water produces wnale tadpoles, warmer water the female and for the gake of. being able to benefit mankind.” Dr. N. P. De Forrest of Brooklyn its a friend of Dr. Schenck. He visited the Pro- fessor about five years ago, and while in Vienna worked with him in his laboratory for one year. “If he claims to have achieved any great results from his experiments, you may de- pend there is something in it,” says he, "as the eminent doctor is not given to wasting words. “When in Vienna I watched with great in- terest the embryological experiments which Dr. Schenck was then making on various small animals, but I never thought at the time of his real purpose.’’ SELF-DENIAL WEEK.
