HAULED THEIR PLUNDER AWAY. | GOT INTO THE HOUSE BY CUTTING ‘e A PANEL FROM A REAR DOOR. ‘STOLE SILVER AND CUT GLASS. ‘Sab Driver Stood Sentinel in the Street While the Burglars Robbed the Residence of Valua- bles Worth $1,000. ®Burglars entered the palatial residence of ‘Charles Van Studdiford, 4462 Maryland av- ‘enue, at 3:30 o'clock Saturday morning. | (hey made a rich haul. Jewelry, silverware and bric-a-brac to the’ | -walue of $1000 were taken. _ The burglars drove to the Van Studdiford jhome in a oab. They loaded their booty in- ‘to the vehicle and drove rapidly away, es- caping detection. Entrance was gained by cutting a hole ‘farge enough to admit a man’s hand in a panel of the kitchen door. Then it was easy. enough to reach ‘through and slip the inight latch. The door was besmeared with blood, in- Gicating that the man who pushed his hand through the door euffered painful lacer- ation. The burglars were scared away by Miss Van Studdiford, who showed rare pres- ence of mind. After the plunderers had /gone through the down portion of the house they went upstairs and tried to pick the lock leading to the Van Studdifords’ bed- room. The noise awakened Mrs. Van Stud- @iford, who. called out tn alarm, ‘‘Who’s there?” At the same time she jumped out .of bed. and ran to the door. She could hear the scurrying of feet in the hall and a noise as of some one falling downstairs. She wakened her husband and told him there were burglars in the house. Mr. Van Studdiford went into the front room and | got his revolver. ae ee | He went to the front window and his wife to the rear one, but they caught no ‘glimpse of the burglars, though they heard the noise of a cab driving madly down the etreet. An alarm was immediately given. A hur- ried glance told the story. The dining room had been ransacked and an armload of sil- verware had been stolen. Closets and trunks in other rooms had been rifled and jewelry was gone. Among Other articles stolen was a French clock walued at $100. Mr. Van Studdiford had laid in a thou- @and high grade cigars. They went with the booty. Cut glass and diamonds rattled together as the burglars carried their plun- @er to the hack. Michael Dooley, the driver of an Olive @treet owl car, says he saw a cab standing mear the Van Studdiford residence shortly before 3:30 o'clock. A driver stood at the head of the horses, acting as sentinel. Dooley paid but little attention to the incident at the time, but the police believe that the cab belonged to the burglars. The police are working actively without a@ny tangible clew. A peculiar feature is that the burglars took all of the eatables they could get thelr hands on, including a ham, a dozen oranges and several pounds of grapes. Saturday morning it was found that they had cut a panel out of the kitchen door of the residence of G. D. Rosenthal, two doors west of the Van Studdiford residence. The Tee do not believe the? entered the ouse, as nothing has been missed. EIGHT. MEN ARE DEAD NOW, ‘Wegroes Exterminating Each Other in Kentucky.

WILL TEST THE JULIAN LAW. WILL GO TO THE COURT ON THE BROAD PRINCIPLES OF COMMON LAW. EXPECTS TO GET JUDGE BLAND. But the Attorney-General’s Real Legal Work Will Be Done to Rid Mis- souri of Commercial Blood- Suckers, Who Sap Its Life. Attorney-General Crow came down from Jefferson City Friday night to fill an en- gagement of his own motion with Judge E. A, Rombauer at the Planters’ Hotel Satur- day morning. * Judge Rombauer is one of the principals g0 down to Missouri legal and polftical history as the Bland-North-Rombauer case. The contention involves the title of Judge Bland to a seat on the Court of Appeals’ bench. The essence of the charge is that Judge Bland won the office through a political deal with Judge North, who was a‘ candi- date of the Populists, Bland (Dem.) and Rombauer (Rep.). North withdrew from the contest, leaving the issue between Bland and Rombauer, and Bland won easily. It is charged that North or the Populist party managers were paid $1000 for North’s withdrawal, besides North was to and did receive the office of Reporter of the Ap- peals Court. Judge Rombauer proposes to test the le- ality of Judge Bland to a seat on the ench under the oorrupt practices act. The special corrupt practices charged are the 000 payment and the promise of office. Attorney-General Crow has been confined FZ a as ATTORNBY-GENERAL CROW, to his room for two weeks by sickness, and, being apprised of Judge Rombauer’s pro- ceedings, telegraphed him ‘Friday that he was able to iravel and would meet him in consultation Saturday. “I presume the proceedings will be by quo warranto,’’ Gen. Crow said, “but I wanted to see Judge Rombauer and hava the advantage of his suggestions as to the prosecution. If there has been an infrac- tion of the corrupt practices act, I propose to sift it to the bottom regardless of the consequences, The issue involved is one of psacred importance to the ballot, anda the judiciary of the State,: which, I am glad j to say, hae an unsullied record. “The case will go direct to the Supreme Court in bane.

In honor of his visit to America 12 new shelters for the homeiess poor and three new rescue homes for women will be simultaneously opened at various points in the country. The General, now in his 6th year, made his first journey to this country in 1896, hold- ing 200 meetings within three months. Since his last visit in 1896 the army shows an in- ereased membership of 24388. The colonization scheme, which is.the pet project of Gen, Booth, will be pusfied during his stay. ‘This plan is not,” said Mrs. Booth-Tucker, “as has been stated, for the benefit of English out of work. The American colony in Col- orado is to benefit the American unem- ployed. It has been always my father’s plan that British colonies should be within the British dominions.’”’ The General was met down the bay by Commander Booth-Tucker. On the plier a large delegation of headquarters Salvation- jets were awaiting their chief: Gen. Booth was given a warm reception. “The Gen- eral.” said Commander Booth-Tucker, ‘‘will stay at my house, in Fordham, uniil 5un- day, when he will leave for Canada, where he will be met by his daughter, Miss Eva Booth, who is in charge of the Salvation Army there. He will remain three weeks in Canada, inspecting the work of the army and will then return to the United States. He will begin his American tour on I eb. 10 in Washington. After that he will visit Pittsburg, Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Spokane, at which last place he will be on March 1%. Then the Genera! wil] cross again over into Canada and visit Victoria, Vancouver and Winnipeg. ‘On March 19 he will reach Minneapolis and thea St. Paul. From March 20 to 31 he will be in Chicago. From then till April 14 he will visit successively Cleveland, Buf- falo, Boston and Philadelphia. Gen. Booth will conclude his American visit with a series of meetings and demonstrations in New York from April 14 to 198. On April 20 he will eall for England.” VON DER AHE IN LOUISVILLE He Talks Mysteriously and Hints at Something Big. — Special to the Post-Dispatch. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 15.—Chris Von Ger Ahe is here on an errand, which he says is of importance to both Louisville and St. Louis, but of Which he will say nothing more. Von der Ahe arrived in Louisville last night from 8t. Louls. After attending a lNttle supper at Frank Fehr’s brewery he held a seance with Secretary Dehler, which lasted until after midnight. ‘‘He would not tell me what he was here for,”” said Déhler this morning. “He says he must see Pulliam first. Pulllam will ar- rive here from Frankfort to-night, in re- sponse to Von der Ahe’s summons, “T cannot say a word until after I have seen him,’ said Vondy this morning. ‘It would spoil everything: Is can’t give the nature’ of thé propositions to be - made.

All of the court papers in the recently settled libel suit of Thomas Brown against the Pulitzer Publishing Co, have been for- warded from Courtroom No, 2, in which the case was tried, to the taxing clerk, who has made out a bill for costs against Brown for $63.70, and mailed it to the plaintiff's at- torney.

Downing & Rummenie, Dealers in Church Supplies, Say Brennan Left Their Employ to Go to Alton Some Time Ago. Playing on the credul'ty of faithful church members, a sacrilegious swindler reaped a harvest in South St. Louis Thurs- day afternoon. The swindler gave the name of Edward Brennan, and he ig still at l’berty. He started out Thursday afternoon by going to the residence of Mrs. Margaret Walsh, 7608 South Sixth street. He handed her a card announcing himself as a sales- man for Downing & Rummenie, deaiers in church supplies, 944 Olive street. The alleged salesman carried with him a box containing the sacred articles used by priests in administering the sacrament of extreme unction. He offered to sell the outfit for $5. He was smooth of appear- ance and glib of tongue. A little talk from the swindler and Mrs, Walsh handed him a %5 bill. After a pleasant adieu, including some fatherly advice, Brennan left. An hour later he returned and asked Mrs. Walsh to loan him her sacred purehase. He wanted it for a few minutes to exhibit as a sample to some of the neighbors. The confiding Mrs. Walsh readily complied. Fortified with what he termed the in- strument of extreme unction, Brennan went from place to piace gathering in more money. At the home of Mrs. Julla Wall, 7621 South Beventh street, the smooth salesman found it easy to take an order. Mrs. Wall paid a deposit of $2, promising to pay the balance of $3 the next day. Meanwhile Brennan took the sample Mrs. Walsh had so kindly loaned him and went out in search of other faithful ones. P Mrs. Patrick Dalton of 7609 South Seventh street paid $1 as a deposit. Mrs. Ida Frank of 7606 South Sixth did the same _ thing. Mrs. Michael Kennedy of 7206 Virginia ave- nue parted with $2 All of this was accomplished tn one after- _— and so much activity made Brennan tired. He might have returned the sample in- struments of alleged extreme unction to Mra. Walsh, from whom he borrowed them, but he did not. He went to the -home of Mrs. Rose Gucche, 2616 South Sixth street, and solid the box for $4 cash. He left it there and that ended his day’s work, When the police called at the establish- ment of Downing & Rummenie information was given that a man by the name of Bren- nan had formerly been in their employ, but he had never been authori to solicit orders for any church goods as he had purported to sell the South St. Louis wemen. ® The last the firm heard of Brennan unt!l the present episode he was at Alton. He is about M years old, his manner is pol- ished and he has the general appearance of a gentleman. The women who.were victimized are well known in church circles and, being unused to swindles of any kind, were easily taken in. DASHED TO DEATH Horrible Suicide of J. Ww. Stonehouse of Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—J. W. Stonehouse, whose sign painting establishment recently failed, committed suicide to-day tn the ro- tunda of the Masonic Temple by jumping from the railing on the sixteenth floor. His body struck the railing on the stair- way of the second floor, smashing the tron and crashed through the two-inch marble landing. Every bone in Stonehouse’s body was shattered. The corpse was picked up a shapeless mass on the stairway between the first and second floors. FEarlier tn the day Stonehouse attempted to throw himeelf from one of the upper floors of the Chamber of Commerce, but was frustrated. Stonehouse !{s sa'd to have made and spent two moderate s'zed fortunes. A son of the suic‘'de went to Colorado some time ago and has not been heard from since. Stone- house is said to have brooded over this and often expressed fear that his son was dead. OHIO RIVER ON A RISE. Cincinnati Business Men Are Feeling Some Anxiety.

Spain Is Too Weary to Fight and Cuban Affairs Are So Shaped to Soon Force American Intervention. - Special to the Post-Dispatch. . WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The Administra- tion has taken an unusual step in the Cu- ‘ban matter. Information haying beén placed before the Government last night by Gen, Lee that further rioting was. feared in Havana, it was deemed time ‘to act. The remarkable step was then taken of pjacing the whole matter in the hands of Gen, Lee) The Montgomery and the Defroit aré at Key West. The commanders of these ves- sels were ordered by telegraph- to, held themselves in readiness to satl for Ha- vana on short notice and to keep in cqmmh- nication with the cable offices and to obey ahy order from Gen. Lee without waiting to hear from Washington. Gen, Lee was notified of the arrangement and given full authority to call for the ships w@n he thinks necessary. A man high in diploratic life and ina position to form an accurate estimate of the plans of the administration, talked as follows to the correspondent of the Post- Dispatch: ‘Intervention is the goal toward which the United States is steadily pressing, and all this talk of danger to Consul-General Lee and American citizens in Havana is -the superficial foam and splashing caused by the steady onset of a strong, deep cur- rent of well-defined policy “We do not want to keep our hands off Cuba. We want and intend to intervene; ito the end that the island shall become free, and, in time, a part of the United States; also to the end that the millidns of money invested by Americans in Cuban ‘funds, and sunk in Cuban filibustering, shall be regained. We intend to intervene in the name of liberty and in the name of humanity; and we intend to take, by right of having a stronger and more intelligent nation, the possession which an effefe and burned-out relic of barbaritty has shown herself unable and unworthy to longer hold. “There is no danger of war, because Spain is too weary to fight. We will press firmly and steadily between the armies of Spain and the insurgents of Cuba. We will feed the hungry—first the American hun- ery, then the starving Cubans; we will en- ter diplomatic protest, and then as the final step we will send a ship of war to protect American interests. “The general situation in Havana its one of smouldering possibilities. There is «tarv- ation, discontent, political death and deep seated hostilitftes of atl kinds. The com- bination creates a lightly covered lava bed of riot @nd anarchy, which is likely t6 boil forth at any time and through the most insignificant breach. ‘The rupture may be delayed months, and it may come in a few,hours. When it does the United States willl be ready for the emergency and the long Cuban story will enter upon tbe last chapter. From’ that it is only a movement to the establishing of a protectorate over the en- tire island. Then the end, Spain withdraw- ing as gracefully as possible. A war.indem- nity of several millions would be a very soothing plaster for her wotinded pride, and would do much to check what looks like threatened revolution at home. “So muclffor the general programme. The mob violence in Havana was the occasion which had been an kh awaited. It has long been seen that*the Spanish grip is be. coming weaker da'ly, even to the extent that civil order can with difficulty be main- tained in the very seat of Gen. Blanco’s headquarters. The mob violence is the first muttering of the revolution and general! dis- order is sure to follow the disintegration of the governing power. “With keen eye our Consul-General and ‘Btate Department have watched for the be- ginning of the outbreak. Wednesday night @ secret cipher dispatch was received by Judge Day. It seemed that the time for action was imminent. An official consulta- tion was held (although this is denied) be- tween Secretary Long of the navy, Assist- ant Secretary Roosevelt, Judge Day and Président McKinley. Orders were tele- ‘graphed to the battleship Maine, at Key est, and a oable was sent to Lee telling him to order the ship when needed, “But the mob was quieted. The last step was temporarily passed. The game again pauses.” HAVANA IS RIOTING. Mobs Parade the Streets and Battle With the Troops. HAVANA, Jan. 15.—Riot is still the order of the day here and mobs are parading the etreets on every side. About 10 o'olock wate Rient a mob tried to aseault the office of El] Leon Espanol, an old reformist newspaper, which is now ad- yortating autonomy. Afier some fighting, in which several rioters werg wounded, the office was finally protected M troops, The rioters got to Central Park, notwith- etanding the omer forces there, and sey- eral of them took possession of the large one-story house, which occuples a whole block, called Manzana Gomez. From ‘the r ‘ | } ported, is strongly guarded, and so is the Hotel de Inglaterra, near the office of the newspaper, La Discussion, where Consul- General Lee lives. “EET BLANCO COME!” Gen. Gomez Promises: to Give Him Plenty to Do. HAVANA, Jan. 15—In a letter to a friend in Havana, Gen. Gomez says: “Let Blanco come to th’s district and he will have plenty to do. It seems to me that the task of pacificating Cuba with so many combatants to subdue is impossible of reali- zation. Two hundred thousand men under a. general who did not spare even the ani- mals have been unable to accomplish it; much less-can Blanco do it, when he has no larger army and no greater ability.” The, .nsurgents destroyed 1,000,000; tobacco eer xrowing under the forts at Cama- juani, Santa Clara Province, on the night of Jan. 15. They. also destroyed 8000 plants within sight of the forte of Sitto’) Grande. A correspondent who has just made a journey from Havana to Sagua la Grande a that not one sugar mill is grind- ng. The estate Isabel,near Media Luna.coast of Santiago de Cuba, and strongly fortified, was atta@cked by rebels under Gen. Salva- dor R'os. The rebels had a field piece and were doing great damage to the buildings and forts when a Spanish column from Manzanillo appeared. After a brief fight the rebels retreated, but were not pursued. Reports from Santiago de Cuba Province State that many persons are leaving the towns to join the rebels. Two filibustering expeditions have recent- ly landed near Mayari Abajo and the other near Sanct! Spiritus. Both were met by rebels and escorted inland. The Comrmander-in-Chief of the rebel army has ordered that the following per- sons, whenever caught. be courtmartialed for murder: Penito Carreras, Alejandro Oloarrita, Eugenio Lavo, Pedro Mora Le- don, Cabrial la Torre, Francisco Garcia. Felix Cuevillas. Bilario Alvarez, Ramon Menedez and Dom'ngo Boldan. The last- named igs a naturalized citizen of the Unit- ed States. —_— —— o> -- _ ADVICES TO DE LOME. Continue to Report All Quiet at Ha- vana. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The official ad- vices fram Havana received by the Spanish Minister, Mr. de Lome, continue to be re- assuring. .A dispatch sent at § o'clock last evening said that the city was perfectly quiet. Another dispatch sent shortly after midnight and reacted early this morning stated that a few people gathered in the uubile park about 10 o’clock last night. here was no demonstration and under or- dinary circumstances no attention would have been given to it, as*the park is the central public point of Havana. As a mat- ter of precaution, however, the patrol of soldiers on duty asked the people to move away, and this they did without demonstra- tion or the exercise of any. force. By 12 o'clock the troops were back in their quar- WANT TO LOOK ON. Foreign Powers Will Not American Iutervention. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—This Govern- ment has received assurances through dip- lomatic channels from the leading powers of Europe that no objection will be raised to intervention*to end the Cuban war. This Government understands that it {a the decided conviction of Great Britain that further continuance of the struggle on the island is useless; that Spain is unable to suppress the insurrection, and that the United States should at an early day as- sume an aggreseive position to enforce peace upon some terms. Great Britain stands foremost among the- powers in the desire for speedy action by the United States. Even Austria, the home country of the Queen Regent of Spain, is said to have conveyed the information that its position will be that intervention by the United States will be none of its business. From the advices received it seems certain that in case of intervention by the United States Spain will not receiv® aid from a single European power. Th® belief seems to be world wide that Spain can not gsuppreés the insurrection. WORK ON THE WARSHIPS. The Monthly Report to Chief Con- structor Hichborn. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The report made monthly to Chief Constructor Hichborn showing the progress of the work on the warships now building indicates that the big battleships Kearsarge and were tcey at Newport News are more-than half finished, the exact figures being. 68 per cent. 1e@ battleship Illinois at the same place is 39 par ‘cent advanced towards completion, while the Alabama at Cramps is 36 per cent and the Wisconsin at the Union Iron Works is 32 per cent along.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT CASES FICTITIOUS NAMES CAUSED THE COURTROOM TO BE CROWDED WITH THE CURIOUS. MOST CASES GO OVER TO JAN.18 Some of the Men of Commerce Are Re- leased on the Ground That Ar- rest Is Punishment Enough for Them. Upon opening the First District Police Court Saturday morning, Judge Peabody ordered the courtroom cleared of all who couldn’t get seats. The aisles were packed and jammed with a promiscuous crowd of people curious to see and try to identify the “Browns” and ‘“Joneses,”’ the “Smiths” and “Blacks,” ar- rested in the raid of the handbook poolroom over Koerner’s swell Washington avenue restaurant. There were 108 of these defendants. They made up about the best-dressed crowd ever seen in the police court, and among them were a number of merchants, business men and clerks. When the cases were called Leverett Bell, ex-City Counselor, who appeared for the defendants, asked that a continuance be granted until Jan. 18 in the cases of 104 of the defendants, whose names he called. This was granted by the Judge, and the old bonds were allowed to stand. The cases against Fred Walkenheusen, Joseph Grennewald, William Snyder, Rob- ert Maxwell, Harry Brolaski, Charles Og- den and James Phelan, upon motion of Prosecuting® Attorney Meigs, were nolle prossed. It was stated that they were busi- hess men who had been sufficiently pun- ished in having béen arrested and driven to the police station in the patrol wagon.

A DENIAL BY HIS HONOR. ae THEY SAY HE REFUSED TO AID ORGANIZED LABOR IN ANY MANNER, HIS REPLY IS, “’TIS FALSE.” Mr. Ziegenhein Points to His Record and Avers It Is Not His Nature to Act as the Committee Alleges, Two-St. Louis members of the National Tobacco Workers’ Union of America de- clare that Mayor Henry Ziegenheim has avowed his hostility to organized labor. They say that the Mayor made his declara- tion in plain terms and that there can be no possible chance for a misconstruction. They say they are willing to file an affi- davit to the truthfulness of the charges. Mayor Ziegenhein denounces the state- ment as false and gives his version of the meeting with the tobacconists. William Wagner is employed in Liggett & Meyers’ faetory in Tower Grave and lives at 4239 Bla'ne avenue. W. B. Clippord works for the same firm-and lives at 4218 Biaine avenue, They are members of )- cal Union No. 8 of the National Tobacco Workers’ Union of America. Speaking for himself and Mr. Clippord Mr. Wagner said: : “We were appointed a committee of our union to sell t.ckets to a dance ani re- ception, to be given under the auspices of our order at Masonic Hall, Feb. 19. We had ihe proper credentials, signed by our president and secretary, showing that we were duly authorized to sell tickets and receive money. « “Our treasury was depleted through force of circumstances. There had been more than the usual amount of sickness among our members and much money was drawn out for benefits. Then the factories were shut down for two or three weeks holiday times and we needed money badly. “In starting out.to canvass we went down town. We thought Mayor Ziegenhein would help us out, and ave went to his office. We were ushered in by Sergt. McGrew, wno said the Mayor was in. We met Adam Yiegenhein, and he sent us on into the Mayor’s pr'vate office. We. saw the wefll- known hat and then the Mayor. We ap- proached his desk and told what we wanted. At the same time we handed him our cre- dentials. He glanceG through them hurriedly and threw up both hands, . F ““T will buy none of gbur tickets,’ he said. ‘I will have nothing to do with or- ganized labor.’ “T said I wanted to explain our mission. Then I told him of the ‘misfortune that had befallen us, and he again. repNed that he would do nothing for organized labor. “He waved us out of his office and at the door I stopp@d and said: ‘Mr. Ziegenhein, I don’t believe that you understand what we ask. You had better buy a couple of the tickets just to show that you are not antagonistic to honest labor.’ “Then the Mayor became angry and ex- claimed: ‘**No, I tell you again I will do nothing to assist organized -labor.’ “Now I am willing to make an affidavit to the truthfulness of these statements.”’ Mr. Clippord heard the statement of Mr. Wagner and he said he was prepared to swear that the statements were true. A Posi-Dispatch reporter found’ Mayor Ziegenhein in his office Saturday morning. Asked if he was antagonistic to organized labor he replied that the question was too ridiculous to be considered. Then the re- porter stated the charges made by Messrs, Wagner and Clippord. ‘Surely people making such a etatement can not de citizens of the United States,’’ was the Mayor's reply. When he was told who they were, he remembered their visit. “Well, they have simply made a false presentation of-facts. I recall their visit row perfectly. It was a week‘ago, during that fearful weather. My office was be- sieged constantly with applicants for char- ity. Persons were coming in here. destitute and asking to be sent to the vartous city in- stitutions to escape actual want. Had I bought all tickets that were offered for sale I could have exhausted the city’s in- come, ‘The young men were pleasant and I thought were pleased with their visit. I know they thanked me for my courtesy when they left. I told them that really I aust be excused from buying any tickets this time. I explained I had responded to so many calls I must draw a line some- where. I also told them that as their ball did not come offfor a month !f they found it convenient to drop in again and would probably buy. ° ‘Their charge that I am opposed to or- ganized labor is so utterly false as to be ridiculous. I may be guilty of many. things. but nothing so foolish as that. For thirty years I employed more mechanics than any other contractor in St. Louis. I always em- ployed wnion men, paid higher wages than any other contractor in the city gnd never had a strike. I was the first to adopt the eight-hour system. I work more than that myself, but if I had my way, I would be the only man in the city who worked longer than eight hours. “When I found out that Capt. Huebler’s men were working 14 hours I took my House of Deleggtes and Council over to the Four CourtS and showed them the situation. I showed that they not only worked the 12 hours but lost an hour in going and coming, which made them on duty 14 hours. An ordinance was passed making three shifts of eight hours each. I signed the bill a few days ago and it is now a law. _, “Organized labor has no better friend in St. Louis or anywhere else than I, and am astonished that these young men should trump up eo fooheh a story.” FLOWERS FILL HER GRAVE. Miss Moder’s Death Ends a Sweet Ro. mance in Bitter Tears. They laid Miss Ada Rosena Moder’s body away in Bellefontaine this afternoon. The Rev. Dr. Sneed of Compton Avenue Pres- pyterian Church spoke words of comfort at home and at the grave. The pall-bearers were Joseph Henley, Wat'ter Guels, John Cramer, Walter Frantz, John Moder, Ham- jiton Fyler, Eugene Buder and Otto Fruth. Flowers which had surrounded the coffin in the parlor at 3307 Washington avenue filled the grave, The clods fell upon them gently, when the preacher read, “Earth to earth, dust to duest.”” But Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moder’s tears were not the only tears shed when the last rite was per- formed. Mr. Al G. Ulrich, who was to have been the dead girl's husban, refused to be comforted. His lodge friends gave him the support of their presence. Miss Moder was a pianist. Her acquaint- ance among musical young people Was large. Young Ulrich of the Adam Roth Gro- cery Co. is a fine singer. The young people were to have married last fall, but in July Miss Moder’s health failed. She went to Las Vegas, N. M., where the hot springs are She grew better, it was supposed. In DVe- cermber Mr. Ulrich joined her. She went rid- ing with him es late as Saturday. Sunday morning she died in his arms. Mrs. Moder sat by. So peaceful was the young girl's death that her mother thought ¢he had fainted, If your house girl leaves you without no- tic® you can get another through Post-Dis- patch wants.

LULU HAUCE’S BED. SHE THOUGHT IT HER BROTHER Then the Burglar Crawled Forth, but Mrs. Hauck W4s Plucky and He Was Arrested. Mra Lulu Hauck is just a plain little woman, but she was more than a match for the burglar who attempted to loot her home during her absence. His arrest and the issuance of a warrant against him was due to her presence of mind and bravery. Mrs. Hauck lives at 1416 Papin street. Friday she and her two children, Frankie, 4 years old, and Lena, 2, went down town | to do some shopping. It was 10:30 o’clock when they reached home. When Mrs. Hauck entered the room she saw @ pair of shoes protruding from under the bed. She was in“a hurry to finish her work, and thought that her brother had returned from work earlier than usual. As she started out of the room she saw that a man was attached to the shoes. Still she was not frightened. She thought it was her brother and called out to him to eome out from under the bed. She coulda not understand why he had crawled under the bed, but she Jaughed about it. Little Frankie went to the ‘bed, and, kneeling down, looked under it. The features of a strange man was re- vealed. ‘It’s not Uncle Joe,” the boy cried with fright. Then Mrs. Hauck saw she had a burglar to deal with. The fellow crawled out and said: “Tf you make any outcry I will kill you.” The children fled in alarm, shrieking as they ran. The burglar started for Mra. Hauck, but she managed to get out of the door ahead of him. Though her weight was slight she held the deor and prevented him reaching her, She turned the key and rushing to a hall window looked out in time to see the burg- lar raise the window and leap to the ground. For a moment he lay still. Mrs. Hauck ran out in the street and called for the police. The burglar clam- bered to his feet and ran west on Papin street. Mrs. Hauck was in hot pursult. Pa- trolman Fitzgerald heard her cries and oined in the chase. The burglar ran two locks and was caught. He bad a ring belonging to Mrs. Hauck when arrested. Mrs. auck was at the Four Courts Saturday morning and told Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson of her experience. A warrant for burglary and larceny was issued. , The name the burglar gave was James McDonald. He is unknown to the police. GEN. CROW’S WAR PAINT. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. the demurrer be overruled, the court will appoint a commissioner, as in the trust company cases, to take evidence. “That would delay a decision of the mat- ter, whereas, if the demurrer were sus- tained, the complainant’s case would fall.” Gen. Crow was asked when he would file suit to test the validity of the Julian law. “T have.the trust company and the insur- ance company cases pending,”’ he said, ‘‘and it is due the public to bring this Bland- North-Rombauer case to as speedy issue as possible. ‘Just as soon as I can dispose of these matters, or rather get them properly before the court, I propose to take up and test the Julian law. ‘“T will be the relator on behalf of the State and the case will be dfrectly before the Supreme Court. I don’t know whether I will take the case up against St. Louis or Kansas City franchise companies. I have already devoted a good deal of time to study of the questions involved and propose to be fully prepared before I file my petition.” “Do you believe that the Julian law will hold good?’ was asked, “Tf the final decision rested with me, I would not hestitate to answer. It is suf- ficient to say that I am going to present every argument possible to induce the court to declare the law valid. One thing is plain to me, if the Julian law is not sound, there ts certainly enough brains in Missouri to evolve an anti-trust law in the next General Assembly that will stand the test of the courts. But In this ight against trusts, monopo- lies and combines, I do net and shall not rely wholly upon statutory law. I hold and bel‘eve I can convince the court that, shut- ting out all statutes, we have abundant authority from the old common law of En- gland to proceed against these co rations. I have carefully examined the New York decisions against the trusts, and all the other courts, high and low, that have passed on the subject, and nowhere do I find that any of these courts have been guided by legislative statutes, but by the bedrock principles laid down in the com- mon law. ‘T shall insist that every corporation that occupies or utilizes a street comes within the purview of the Julian law. I don’t care whether they are regulated as surfave cuon.- cerns or in subways; they have no right to the streets unless acquired by purchase, as provided under the law. “I will go further, and despite the fact that these corporations had what they are pleased to term vested rights anterior to the Julian law, and that in complying with a municipal regulation it was compulsory, that they did not thereby acquire gratis any rights under the enforced regulations. “It should be remembered that the city does not and can not compel an electric light company or a street railroad com- pany to do business. They do not have to occupy the streets; they do not have to ac- commodate the public; the individuals who have their money invested in such enter- prises can close down the plant, sell it, put the money in their pockets and tell the pub- lic to go to the demnition bowwows and the public ig helpless. Therefore, if these peo- ple want to do business on public property they can be made to pay for it and no power on earth can give them vested rights in the public’s property. At best they can only use it by sufferance. ‘There are other big trusts right here In St. Louts that I have_an eye on, and while I do not propose to mention any names just now, I shall surprise some of them {fn the near future and show that they heve no lawful existence in M!ssouri.”’ MARRIAGE LICENSES.

SECRET CAUCUSES ARE HELD. FACTS CONCERNING THE “Capt. TAL REMOVER’S” MANEUV- ERS COMING TO LIGHT. GIVES OUT FALSE STATEMENTS. Ticket Favored by the Majority Is Not in the Interest of Meriwether, but of All the Recent Mayoralty Candidates. At the Jefferson Club elections Thursday even'ng there is expected to. be not only rumors of war but war itself. The contest is between Hugh J. Brady and that element in the club which up to now has kept Mr. Brady from becoming a memiber and con- verting the Jefferson Club headquarters into a Brady wigwam., Shrewdness will meet shrewdness Thurs- day night. The anti-Brady element in the club beMeves it still has the votes and it expects to elect ite ticket, which, Brady Says, represents Meriwether, Brady says Thursday's battle is not be- tween Jefferson Democracy and Brady Democracy, but between Brady and Meri- wether. Members of the Jefferson Club gay Mr. Meriwether is no more a factor in the fight than is any other prominent individual member. Brady says the anti-Brady ticket is th result of a secret caucus at the Y, M. C. A. Buliding. The Jeffersonian Democrats say the caucus was regular and like those of all preceding years; that it was known and its proceedings made public; that if Brady's lieutenants in the ciub were kept in the dark they were kept there because Brady methods were met with Brady strategy. The anti-Brady men say they have known of caucuses at the homes of Brady follow- ‘ ers; that the present Brady ticket, whi will be voted by the Jefferson Club Brad ites Tuesday night, Was made up at such a caucus. . The Jeffersonian or anti-Brady Democ say the ticket they have nomimated made up of more Harrison men than M wether men. Folk, its head, was of Meri- wether counsel in the Court of Appeals, but it ig not. known that he voted for Meri- wether. Allen did not; Hardcastle, they say, voted for Harrison; Hawes voted for Harrison; Alexander was a Noonan delegate from the Twentieth Ward; John C. Roberts voted for Harrison. “The friends of Hugh Brady,” said an Anti-Brady Club member, “faisely charge that the only decent ticket put up for elev- tion next Thursday night represents a se- cret movement by Lee Meriwether to cap- ture the Jefferson Club. This, like all the other charges against the ticket, is without foundation, and no well informed mem will pay any attention to it. The fact is, all four of the recent mayoralty aspirants are represented on the ticket, and any one who is‘acquainted with the ae ye rec- ords of the gentlemen propess can satisfy himself by analyzing the ticket.” These are the antl-Brady % tre = Presi- dent, Joseph W.

It is a well-known fact, the gentleman says, that this obstreperous faction cre- ates practically all the disturbance there is in the public affairs of the Jefferson Club; but for the attempts of thts faction to use the club for its own purposes the club could go on its way of usefulness with HMttle molestation. There have been two or three recent and very neat counters on the wily Brady by the Jefferson Chub members who afe trying to keep Brady out of the club. The Jefferson Club has a membership committee of three. No name can be pro- posed for the club's rolls unlese two of the membership committee's member's signa- tures are attached to the application. The recent attempt of Brady to break Into the club was for the moment nipped by this committee. It declined to present the great capital mover’s name. Brady’s men were furious. They let ali a few threats. One waa that they woul blackball any name presented until Brady’s was put to vote. ' “All right,’ sald the committee; ‘just to show you how Brady still stands here, we'll let Sis name go in.”’ Brady's henchmen proposed that all of the candidates of the night be voted for in a bunch. Secretary of State Lesueur was one. Brady's friends hoped to ride Brady - on the shoulders of the Secretary of prate. This motion carried. Then some one made a remark about Bradyittee using the black- ball as a political weapon, and a riot was narrow!y averted. The motion to vete in a body was recon- sidered and voted down. There were. votes on groups of one. One young fellow, splemd'dly connected and a gentleman, was blackbalied by the Brady crowd. John C. Roberts got the floor. He said the blackballing of the Brady element had gone far enough. He had 20 men pledged not to vote. Two white balls would deposited. One would elect, but two would be deposited. Then those who voted blackballs could be detected as they voted. The ballot was for Lesueur. Only two They were the-white balls, The Brady crowd waa beaten at ita own game. “Yes, I am familiar with the time, place and manner of the selection of the regular headed by Mr. Folk,” a Jefferson “More than two months ago it became known that a certain ‘order,’ or clique, were holding se- cret meetings at the residences of certain of {te members for the purpose of making some movements in the Jefferson Club. circular sent to a supposed friend fell into our hands.

LOUIS PHYSICIANS WARN MOTHERS AND FATHERS OF THE DANGER. CASES IN AN INDIANA TOWN. They Were Traced to the Purring Pets —Roaches, Mice, Flies and Mos- quitoes May Also Con- vey Contagion. to publ’c health as a vehicle for the\rans- mission of all manner of contagious’ dis- eases, especially diphtheria, and as children are especially in danger from diphtheria, parents are warned against allowing them to fondle these domestic pets. A'd spatch from Laporte, Ind., states that diphtheriA of a malignant type has been raging for months at Galien, and that after a rigid investigation as to the source oO the disease, specific cases were traced to cals of tne town, among whicno the disease wag rife. According to the opinions of St. Louis physicians there is no telling to what ex- tent contagious digeases may be trans- mitted by aomestic#pets. It is difficult to trace the origin of individual cases, but if it could be proven it Is likely that many cases where the patient has apparently had no chance to catch disease the source might be traced to the family cat. Speaking on this subject, Dr. C. H. Hughes sald: “ali contagious diseases, such as con- sumption, for instance, May ‘be transmitted by dats, dogs, rats and vermin of ail kinds, especially roaches, bed ‘bugs, mosquitoes and flies—particularly the latter. Musquitoes have been proven capable of transmitung the poisonous germs of maiaria and the tubércle bacillus has been found in the proboscis of the house fly. ‘Cigars made in Cninatown have recently been proven to be a source of contagion, and the cheap cigars made in tenement houses in the Kast l.kewise. Children fondle pet animals that run about and carry the contagion of diphtheria, and they fali sick of the disease and die, while no one can imagine how they contracted it.’’ Dr. George Homan said: ‘There is no room to question the fact that cats, dogs, rabbits and parrots suffer from diphtheria and area source of contagion. Parrots are especially susceptible. In parrots and cats the membrane forms in the throat just as in the human victim of the disease. There is another danger. A child with theria may play with a cat germs may be conveyed from the child to the fur of the cat. The cat may not con- tract the disease, but the fur will convey it to another child just as easily. Chil- dren kiss and fondle cats and lap dogs and it is a dangerous practice. “Cases are on record in which extensive epidemics have been kept alive, if not actually started, by domestic animals.’’ Dr. John Wehrly: Undoubtedly all the domestic animals are liable to comtract many of the contagious diseases which mankind has, especially such as diphtheria, which attacks the membranes. Horses, sheep and cattle may have the disease. Dr. Bransford Lewis: There is nothing at all improbable about the theory of the source of infection at Gallen, Domestic ani- The pet tabby cat is pronounced meen . Male may take diphtheria from children, and as readily pass it on to others. Dr. Frank M. Rumbold: I regard it as ossible for diphtheria to be transmitted rom cats and dogs to children, but not highly probable. Cats do have a disease similar to diphtheria, and by close fondling | the germs may be transmitted, but I do not think dseases are frequently carried from: animals to man In that way. Dr. John B. Keler: I have never come acrogs a case of the kind in my practice, but unquestionably it is true that diseases may be communicated in that way. Cats and dogs are subject to a disease similar to d'phtheria, gorge | caused by the diph- germ, and if they catch it from children, there is no reason why they should not transmit it again. Dr. Mulhall: I recognize the fact that such a subject is of vast interest to the public, and that such being the case, it is a subject which a professional man mig add bel speak on without being charg®a with violating the code of g@thics, but just now, being the President of the medical] sv- c‘ety, I do yot wish to speak for publica- tion on any subject.

Unsuccessful Stomach Removal Opera- tion in Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Under unfavorable conditions the operation of removing the stomach from a woman, which was suc- cessfully performed in Zurich last Septem- ber and startled the surgical world, was re- peated yesterday in Milwaukee. Dr. F. J. Farnum of Chicago was assisted by Dr. D. P. G. Hankwitz of Wisconsin City. and the operation was performed at tne Milwaukee Hospital. Mrs. E. Bestian of 772 Seventh street was the patient. The stomach was removed and Mrs, Bes- tian survived for a cons.derable time, but the weakness consequent on long il.ness and a previous operation ill-fitted her for the ordeal and she gradually sank under the shock. She died four hours after the removal of the organ. An additional draw- back was that Mrs. Bestian’s malady, cancer of the stomach, had pregressed farther than had been apparent. Mrs. Bes- tian was a suffered for years with cancer of the stomach. On Nov. 26 last an opera- tion to remove the cancer was performed, but it was not successful, as the cancerous growth immediately reformed. She was Still weak from the effects of the first operation when the physicians depided that mother operation would be necessary. When told that it was the only hope that they had of saving her life, weak as she was, Mrs. Bestian readily consented and it was decided that the only possible operation which could benefit her was the same which Dr. Carl Schlatter had performed. The physicians closely followed the Schlatter operation and carefully removed the entire organ. They found then that the cancer had not only affected: the stomach, but that it had also consumed much of the other tissues. This necessitated the removal of more of the tissues than the surgeons thought neces- sary at first. On account of the weak condition of the patient she was not able to survive the operation. TESTIFIED FOR DR. NEWMAN, Relatives and Business Men Tell of His Ability and Good Character. Testimony in the suit to remove Dr. Lewis E. Newman as trustee of the Socrates New- man estate, brought by Mrs. Elise W, New- man, was concluded before Judge Wood Saturday. By agreemént of counsel the arguments went over for one week. The ill feeling bred by these proceedings against Dr. Newman was in evidence throughout the entire cross-examination by Mr. Glover of the witnesses for the defense. The P-aintiff’s lawyer was insistent and persistent to a degree that frequently pro- voked little flashes of feeling from the sis- ters of the physician as they struggled to uphold. their brother’s business integrity and capability. Robert Newman testified to frequently visiting the Fair Grounds race track and betting. In some instances, he salu, he rep- resented his brother. Mrs. Redmond Walsh, a sister, was em- phatic in her declarations of the cordiality that has always existed between mother and .son, and expressed her belief that Dr. Newman’s administration of her father’s estate had been proper and businesslike, ‘Mrs. Wentworth Terry, anothér sister, voiced Mrs. Walsh's sentirg#nts and said she opposed the suit and the proposition to require Dr. Newman to give a bond as trustee and executor, because she knew. it was in opposition to the will of her father. She declared that she knew her brother to be thoroughly honest, “in fact, one of the few honest men of this city.’’ John Scullin and Wentworth Terry testi- fled to Dr. Newman's good character and business ability.

Relief Expedition Now Is Impractica- ble, but April or May Will Be Time Enough. PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 15.—The report of Maj. J. H. Rucker of the Fourth Cavalry, who was sent to Dyea by the department to ascertain Yukon, was réceived by Gen, Merriam at Vancouver Barracks. From his_interviews with those who have come out from Daw- the Chilkoo: and White passes, Maj. Ruck- er concludes: 1. That while there is a shortage of stores in the Yukon Basin, a state of famine does not at present exist, nor is It likely to exist in the immediate future. 2 That a large expedition, with quanti- ties of supplies, hauled on -sledges, by horses or reindeer, could not proceed down the Yukon further than the foot of Lake La- barge, 400 miles from Dawson, 3. Reindeer on such expedition are no more serviceable than are mules or horses. 4.That if the Government assistance is conspicuously needed in the Yukon it will be when the stores now in the hands of the people are exhausted, which is not likely, from all that he can learn, to be earlier than April or May. e therefore recommends that if the Snow Locomotive Company, which has a contract w.th the Government, do not convey the re- lief into the Yukon during February, the Government pack trains with sledges should carry them across the Chilkoot Pass and down the lakes and rivers to the foot of Lake Labarge during the month of March, and there await the breaking up of ice in the Yukon. The supplies could then be tak- en to Dawson in boats. Co., which has a contract with the Govern- ment to haul the relief expedition supplies from Dyea to Dawson, notified Gen. Merri- am to-day that they would be unable to start their snow train into the inter‘or earlier than the middle of February. The Government allows that length of time in which to start the expedition. am has, thereupon, extended the time of starting the expedition to some time ™® Feb- ruary. soiiasieiliabinliia RIVAL RAILROAD COMPANIES. Two Wealthy Corporations Engaged in a Yukon Race. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 15:—A _ railroad building race involving the expenditurg of $16,000,000 has been coemmenced by two wealthy corporations, each of which desires to own the first railroad into the Yukon country. Each road will be about four hun- dred miles long, running from Pyramid Harbor, near the head of Lynn Canal, to pers on Lewis River, below Five Finger apids, The companies back of the railroad projects are the London Exploration Co. and the Yukon Co., organized last summer by Andrew F. Burleigh, the principal stock- holders of which are Philadelphia and New York men. 30th corporations have en- ineers and surveyors at work between *yramid Harbor and the Lewis River. The projectors of both roads figure on an aver- age cost of over $20,000 a mile, requiring an outiay of over $8,000,000 for each road. The equipment for each will cost about $1,000,000 more. Both. companies have gecured rights of way from the Canadian Government and are now working to secure from Congress necessary rights of way through thirty miles of American territory, Steamers for the Yukon, STOCKTON, Jan. 15.—C. M. Hamilton and CC. R. Clow, representing two Chicago com- ee. have let contracts to the Jarvis Shipyard in this city for two steamers to be built for the Yukon River. The steamers are to be built complete, except the upper work, and calked with all. machinery on board, and the contract calls for their being launched “4 the 15th of March next. One steamer will be 65 feet long and the other 62. After being launched they will be given their trial trips and then taken to San Francisco, where they will form the deck load of a vessel bound for St. Michaels. They will be launched again from the ves- sel’s deck, and will be almost ready for work. Tne steamers are for prospecting and dredging. Excelsior Sails Sunday.

Saturday to his home, There Is No Need of Tossing Hour After Hour. sae Sleeplessness is usually caused by the fact that the food ts not digested. It remains in the stom- ach like a load of lead, but, unlike lead, it forms geses which send their fumes to the brain and so prevent sleep. The victim of insomnia tosses rest- lessiy hour after hour, when the brain and body should be at rest, and feels wholly unfitted for duty the next day. Now, all this can and should be avolded. It is a simple matter to take some- thing after meals or at night which will regulate the etomach and bowels and cause pot only health- ful sieep, but a good appetite in the morning. Not everything that is advertised will do this; in fact, there have been few things that will do it. There is one which can certainly be relied upon to do this In every case and at al es. This remedy is Wills’ English Pilis. i specially designed, in the most scientific manner, for ac- complishing just what men and women most need to have accomplished, namely, a proper regulating of the stomach, liver and bowels and thus render- ing life worth living. Anything that cures discase is of great value, but a preparation that prev the coming on of disease, as well as cures It, when contracted, is especially valuable.

Both were caught in the ‘net spread by the wily Cup’d and a wed- ding was to come off last fall. Business in- tervened and, instead of being able to reach Washington at his usual time, Mr. West was assigned to the Mississippi Valley. The ceremonies at Wash ington were declared off and the fiancee was asked to meet Mr, West in St. Louis, where he expected to ‘pass a week. She arrived Friday. That afternoon the prospective groom’s house wired him to go to Chicago at once.

HIS STOMACH CUT OUT. While Surgeons Were Making Charts Showing Success of the Work Mr. Beck Died. ‘The next time I remove a man’s stomach he will get well,’’ said Dr. A. C. Bernays to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday morn- ing. The doctor maintains that his daring operation was successful jn the case of Conrad Beck. because the man apparently survived the shock of the removal of his stomach, notwithstanding he died in a few hours. The success which made fame for Dr. Schlatter of Zurich, Switzerland, rests in the fact that the person upon whom he operated Sept. 6, 1897, is yet alive and gives promise of being in good health for years to come, Conrad Beck, the patient in Dr. Bernay’s case, has been described in the newspapers. He was not a laborer in the common ac- ceptance.of that term. His business was that of a machinist, and for three or four — he had been in the employ of one rm Beck was 45 years of age and lived with his wife and two pretty children at 4 Oregon avenue, from whence he will be buried Sunday. His neighbors speak in the highest terms of his intelligemce, his edu- cation and his deportment. Mr. Moore, who keeps the “‘Cottage Bar- ber Shop,”’ not far away, tells this story to Fert ind the esteem in which Beck was eld: “Conrad Beck was a quiet, sedate man, but well liked. He had been ailing during the summer and was finally compelled to take a vacation. Along in September his little boy came to me and said his father ie a ine to go to the house and cut his air. “I found the man apparently ill, though able to walk about the room. Mrs. Beck said he had been vomiting blood. The doc- tor had not told her the disease from which he was suffering, but described it to her as an inflammation of the mucus mem- brane of the stomach. I asked if Mr. Beck ever drank, and she said that in his younger days he would occasionally take a glass of beer, but that for many years he had been a teetotaler. “One day last week Mr. Beck came into my shop and said he wanted his hair cut. He seemed greatly depressed, and when I got through my work, he held out his hand and said: ‘This is the last time you will ever see me.

ANTI-SCALPING BILL. Talk in Its Favor by Burt Lyon of St. Louis, WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce this morning at 10:15 o'clock resumed its hearing on the anti-scalping bill. Pending the re- sumption ot the testimony of George M. McKenzie of Chicago a statement was sub- mitted to the committee by Burt W. Lyon, editor of the Commercial Traveler of St. Louis. Mr. Lyon said that S. F. Feely of Chicago and P. E. Dow of New York did not repre- sent the 30,000 traveling salesmen of the country. ‘While he did not desire to be understood as claiming to represent all of the commercial travelers of the country he was absolutely satisfied that the great ma- Come et z TAT * z lel RM te ee ee RR a OF <e m4 Which So Powerfully Attracts Beauty lies less in the features than in the condition and expression of the face The Creator has endowed every woman with beauty, and every woman in good health, who is of a cheerful nature, 15s beautiful and comely to look upon. A clear, fresh, whole- some look is the result of the possession of good health, and no woman can be beautiful and attractive without good health. The dull, dead, gnaw- ing pain, the sense of nervousness, weakness, oppression and dis- couragement, the tired, listless, languid feel- ing, the shootin pains, the aching head, the pain in the back, all these are symptoms of a disordered sys- tem, and all these are beauty killers, produc- ers of dull, leaden complexions, unnatur- al flushings, dark cir- cles under the eyes, black heads, lusterless eyes and other disfig- urements which divest women of their natural gift of beauty. Why be homely when you can be beautiful and attractive? Get good health and with it those looks and at- tributes which attract,-please and fascinate. It is within your power to do so, for it 1s within every woman’s power to be well and strong, and hence look her best, if she will use Dr. Greene’s Nervura to give her strong, vigorous nerves, pure, rich blood ,a clear complexion, and thus restore the energies and vitality of sound and perfect health.

Deputy Sheriff Adolph Troll was in charge of the party. Among the prisoners was Charles Krey, who pleaded guilty to embezzling $5000 from the Pacific Express Co., where he was em- ployed as transfer money clerk for fifteen years.

He will claim that Bacon not only wrote the Shakspeare plays and sonnets, but that his pen was probably responsible for the great Spanish work, “‘Don Quixote.” The book will aim to prove tha: there is a c'pher in Shakspearean sonnets which de- scribe the events in the times during which they were written.

C. Kerens and’ Mies Katherine. Kerens, occupied a stage box. Mrs. Festus | J. Wade and Dr. Francis Rohan and their friends had boxes also and in the parquet and dress circle were representatives of BROTHER AMBROSE’S PLAYS, — many of St. Louls’ wealthiest and most — exclusive families. ' Of course the audience was friendly and it is not uncomplimentary to Brother Am- brose to say that the major portion at- tended upon the strength of their feeling of kindness toward the college and their per- sonal acquaintance with the young ama- teurs on the stage. At the same time it is complimentary to the talented brother to say that there were several men in the audience who had no Interest In the Chris- tian Brothers’ College and no acquaintaace with Brother Ambrose nor with any of the college students. They were veteran thea- ter-goers who hade-‘‘dropped in” at the Olympic as they would have done if another attraction had been on the biils, and that they sat out the performance is a tribute to Brother Ambrose as a playwright, of — which he can not help being proud, These same play-golng veterans discov- ered in the little company of amateurs two boys and two young men who have unde- niably dramatic ability, and one other lad; of 10 years who is a musical prodigy. In the first play given, “Basilio, the Old Tor- eador,”’ Master Walter Mullen and Master John J, Thomson displayed much clever- ness and a delightful absence of self-cone sciousness, which is generally so painfully apparent in amateur performances. Master Young Thomson is a som ing. A son of Congreseman John J. O'Neill, John J., Jr., took the leading role in the second play, “T. V. Trevelyan, Artist,” and with Walter L. Schnaider as Dr. Trenchon contributed a better performance than one ordinarily finds in amateur productions, Brother Ambrose officiated ag stage mana- ger and much of his “business” and ate tention to detall proved what a thorough student of the drama the ecclesiastic must be. Little Gussie Botts, 10-year-old son of a grocer at Tenth and Biddle streets, was the genuine surprise of the afternoon. He gave as a violin solo a difficult caprice, by Vieuxtemps, and he rendered it with the intelligence and execution of a student of twice his years. The musical worlg will lose something if this lad is not given the advantage of study under some recognized master of his favor ite instrument.

Lives have been ruined by it. Nations have been torn asunder by it. iMaurus Jokai, the celebrated Hungarian nov- élist, has taken “‘A Drop of Blood’”’ for the title of his latest story, a thrilling narrative in which niuch depends on little—even a drop of blood. This powerful story will be published complete, with illustrations, in to-morrow’s Sunday Post- Dispatch. Much has been expected of the author of “Peter, the Priest,” and “Black Diamonds,” and he has never yet disappointed the public. —-—0oo——--- The mud junketers left on the 13th, and the next day it rained. A POINTER FROM DETROIT. The latest instance of a city that is doing bet- ter than St. Louis in’the matter of lighting its streets is Detroit, Mich. The report of the Detroit} Lighting Commission on the mifhicipal lighting plant for the six months of the fiscal year just ended shows that the commission has a surplus for the six months of $6700. The report shows further that the cost of each are lamp has been reduced from $68.18 to $54.94 since last year. This means a saving of $13.24 on each arc lamp. As St. Louis is paying $74.95 for each are lamp, Detroit is now getting its arc lamps for $20.1 per lamp less than St. Louis has to pay. Thus St. - Louis not only has no lighting plant of its own, ‘but has to pay for its 2400 arc lights $48,024 per annum more than it would pay.on the Detroit basis. In this case the superior economy of municipal ownership over private ownership of public util- ities has been conclusively proved. The Spaniards in Havana are rioting against autonomy and the Cubans are buying dynamite guns. There is but ome road to peace on the island. - oe ~_- i, i La § > _ NOT GOOD FOR CRIMINALS.

The interview in yesterday’s Post-Dispatch of ropolitan police system of Omaha. Judge Scott's decision was sweeping. He based it'upoh the broad principle of the right to home rule in municipalities, which are applicable to 'right of municipalities to the appointment and ‘control of their police, but affirmed that no mu- | nicipality could be taxed for the support of State any municipality under any specific form of State constitution. He not only affirmed the | officers, which would eliminate every city officer appointed by the Governor of the State. From the decision of the Illinois courts in the East St. Louis case-and from other authorities the trend of judicial opinion seems to favor Judge Scott's opinion. But the question has not yet been decided by the Nebraska Supreme Court. Regardless, however, of decisions in other States, Mr. Bell pointed out that the present Board of Police Commissioners in St. Louis, ap- pointed by the Governor, having been created as a war measure and sustained by the State Supreme Court during war times is firmly estab- lished against attack. Succeeding Supreme Courts have sustained the first decision. But the importance of the question lies not so much in the violation of the principle of home rule in one or two departments of city govern- ment. but in the possible violation of it in all departments. If, as Judge Scott asks, the State may usurp the government of cities in one de- partment, why not in all? Home politics in municipal government is bad enough, but gubernatorial politics is sometimes worse. Our Police Department, and indirectly the citizens of St. Louis, are suffering now from a deplorable and aggravated case of Jefferson City politics. shin ieintpeneain There should be prompt action for the protec- tion of flour consumers and honorable manufac- turers of flour.

In view of the mud and slush covered atreets of our city and the statement of the Street Depart- ment that they have no money to meet the expense of. cleaning them, is it not time for the City Coun- cil and the Street Commissioner to atop the costly “junket” tours that are using up thousands of dol- lars of the city’s funds without deriving any bene- fits, and apply the money thus spent in cleaning the streets and thereby give the unemployed work- ingmen of our c.ty eomething to do? Unless the taxpayers get together and Tevise some wa of Checking this unnecessary misuse of their funds by their servants it will be only a question of time when there will be—thousande for junkets, but not one cent for improvements or cleaning of streets. The time has come when taxpayers should take notice of the officials who spend the people’s money with such a free hand on foolish junkets and in other unnecessary ways at the expense of urgent needs of the city, and take some steps to call a halt.

Wherever it is given a fair trial it demonstrates its absolute intrinsic merit. It makes friends easy because it makes people well. As its sales are rapidly increasing, its volume of praise grows greater day by day. It is now generally recognized as America’s Greatest Medicine. Its use is prescribed by physicians, druggists, and even the great influential! newspapers advise correspondents suf- fering from impure blood to “take Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”’ It has cured the worst cases of scrof- ula, salt rheum, sores, ulcers, boils, etc., simple and solely because it thoroughly purifies the blood.

There is likely to be a fifteen-day meeting at one of the Indiana tracks, either Sheffield or Roby, as Forsythe has been abandoned, and the managers will probably not attempt to be- gin euch a meeting before May 1. Last vear they opened at Forsythe April 15 and there were only a few pleasant days out of the fifteen. This year it Is probable they will benefit by the experience and postpone the Indiana meeting until May 1. This would necessarily delay ‘the opening at Harlem until May 18 or 20, when the Louis- ville meeting is scheduled to close, Many Kentucky horsemen aignified their inten- tion of returning to Chicago this year when Harlem opens, and with the attractions of large purses, liberal stakes and a prosper- ous meeting.

STRUGGLE BETWEEN NIGHT WATCHMEN IN WHICH PISTOL AND HATCHET WERE USED. ‘NARROW ESCAPE OF ONE. Bullet Struck Him on the Head and Glanced Off—Both Placed Under Arrest. William Hicks of %637 Michigan avenue ., and William Layman of 2639 Michigan av- , enue were arrested Saturday morning as | the result of a flerce fight last night. The heads of both are swathed in bandages and Hicks narrowly escaped with his life. Hicks is a night watchman at the Ham- mer Dry Plate Co., M’ami street and Ohio e@venue, and Layman. holds a similar posi- 'tion at the Anheuser-Busch brewery. Hicks gaid that -he left his home Friday night to go to work and was accosted at his front gate by his next door neighbor, Wiliam Layman, who accused him of trying: to , shoot his dog the day before. Hicks denied it, saying he tried to shoot bis own dog, as it was vicious, Then, Hicks | gays, Layman struck him with a hatchet. Hicks pulled a billy from his pocket and belabored Layman over the head. Layne Grew a pistol, Hicks said, and shot him. The ball struck him on the head and lanced off. Hicks says that he stooped down to pick up his hat and Layman fired two more shots that missed him. Policeman Kirchner was attracted by_the firing and took both to the South Side Dis- pensary and had their wounds dreseed. Each man went to his place of work and reported for duty. They were arrested Sat- urday morning and will be sent to the a Mee court on cross charges of disturbing the peace, and Layman on an additional charge of discharging firearms. Layman accused Hicks of being the aggressor. PEABODY IGNORES MURPHY. Fines Vreeland $50, and Miss Devin- ney’s Assault Goes Unavenged. Judge Peabody stopped the trial of Geo, Vreeland suddenly Saturday morning to de- fine the duties of the Marsha] of the Police Court and the rights of his court as com- pared with Judge Murphy and the juris- diction and the rights of Judge Murphy's court. Vreeland is the negro who was so jealous of his wife that he elipped up behind Miss Devinney, a young white woman, and knocked her down, thinking she was “iis wife, so he says. Since the negro was arrested and gent to Peabody on complaint of his wife, the ne- gro was identified as the man who struck Miss Devinney and a warrant was issued against him, “For the offense for which he is here,’’ said Judge Peabody, ‘“‘Tll fine Vreeland $50, which will keep him in the Workhouse for six months. fe Judge Murphy wants him then he can have him. The negro ought to be punished, but I am going to have first whack at him.”’ THE FINISH OF A WALTZER, - —_-~¢@--— John Mills Wound Up in a Cell After the “Keen Kids’ ” Ball. John Mills loves to dance and sing. Late Friday night the young man was on his way home from the ‘“‘Keen Kid’s” ball. When he arrived at Whittier and St. Ferdi- nand styrets he inadvertently fell against a tree pox. The sound of falling timber attracted Po- liceman Bock. He asked Mills the trouble and the waitzer, the officer says, ‘‘cussed’’ him roundly. That settled it. Mills was arrested and Saturday Judge Stevenson fined him $5. CLYDE MATTOX PARDONED. Twice Convicted of Murder and Sen- tenced to Hang. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 15.—A dispatch from Washington says President McKinley has pardoned Clyde Mattox, twice convicted of the murder in Oklahoma, O, T., in Decem- ber, 1889, of John Mullins, a negro, and sen- tenced to hung. The case was one of the most celebrated in the history of the State. It was bitterly fought, and finally appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld the sentence. Mrs, Sadie M. Hatch, attox’s mother, has spent her estate in fighting the case, and it is due to her efforts that the pardon ‘has been secured. Mattox comes of an aristocratic Southern family, He was born in Texas. FRIENDS RALLY TO JOHN DALY Indicted for Murder, the Ex-Fighter will Have Strong Support.

Leo Fischer Was Near the Old Man’s House the Night the Old Man Was Killed. An arrest has been made which may clear up the Doering murder mystery at Belleville, which. occurred on New Year's eve. Leo Fischer, 18 years old, was taken into custody on suspicion by Officer Henry Wasem. He is kept strictly incommunicado. Saturday morning he was _ rigorously “sweated” by Chief of Police Obst. Young Fischer is the son of respectable parents, but he contracted vicious habits, and has a bad reputation. His associates are of a degraded type and _ he is said to be a moral and physical wreck. The chief ground of suspicion js the fact that the boy attended the meetings of a club composed of several young men of his stamp, which met close to Doering’s resi- dence, The boys were a constant source of an- noyance to the eccentric old man, who used to stand at his threshold, armed with a club, which he threatened ‘to use on the first one of them who invaded his premises. Fischer acknowledges that he was at the clubroom on the night of the murder, and the theory is that he and the old man had a difficulty wh*%sh ended in the murder. Fischer takes his arrest coolly. He de- nies all knowledge of the crime and is not at all concerned. He passes his time read- ing the papers, and while his general repu- tation is not good he has not been esteemed capable of such a crime. IN DEFERENCE TO W'MATHL Majority of the B. P. I. Postpone All General Legislation. The Board of Public Improvements suc- ceeded in getting a quorum Saturday, and Water Commissioner Holman was elected President pro tem. of the board in the ab- sence of President McMath, who has-gone on a three-weeks’ jaunt with the junketing committee, alias Good Streets Commission.. After the election of (Mr. Holman, on mo- tion of Wharf Commissioner Stone, Chair- man of the Workhouse Committee, it was ordered that Supt. Karr grade Ninth street between Oscedla and Neosha agatreets, anc Tenth street, between Itasca and Neosha streets. President Holman announced that no gen- eral ordinances would be considered in the absence of r. McMath, though he ac- knowledged that as chairman of the L‘ght- ing Committee he was about ready with the new ordinancey'to light the streets. That measure, however, would be debarred until Mr. McMath could pass on it. Mr. Milner wanted to know, as a majority of the members were present, why it was that a majority of the board could not act on any proposition. Mr. Holman coldly replied that general matters were postponed in deference to the President. WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE Policeman Intercedes for a Foppish Prisoner and Successfully, Too.

UNDER ARREST AT LAST. ‘ MEN NOW COMING FORWARD WITH STORIES OF THEIR INTERESTING ADVENTURES. TALE OF THE TWO HUNTERS. | Lulu Played Them Both With the Bait of Love and Netted a Horse and a Bicycle—A Po- lice Blunder. Postoffice Inspector Dice is immensely pleased over the arrest in Chicago of Lulu | Raines, alias Grace Lewis, elias Mrs, Lulu §Smaliie, alias Mrs. John Hunter. In- | spectors Sullivan and Reid have gone to Chicago after the prisoner, and they will | arrive with her in St. Louls Sunday morn- Inspector Swift, who went to Gal- ' ing. veston, Tex., on a false scent, but who | gucceeded in arresting Lulu Raines’ mother, ' Mra. M. Sinclair, is expected to arrive Mon- day morning. Inspector Dice says he has a pile of eévi- ‘dence against the woman on his desk, and he ‘ heartily concurs in the opinion of Inspector Swift that she is “fone of the most ener- getic workers the VPostofiice Department (thas ever had to deal with.” Just how the Chicago detective bureau | became interested in the case Mr. Dice does , not know. She was traced by means of an | express package addressed to her and be- ' fore the parcel was délivered the officers | called on her and made her a prisoner. It is probable the Chicago officers were requested ,to be on the lookout for the woman by the St. Louis polica department, in hopes of making reparation for the blun- der committed here which resuited in the |} easy escape of Lulu Raines and the subse- , quent trouble given the government au- thorities in looking for her The first complaint against Lulu Raines Was received by Chief Harrigan, Who sent two detectives to 1344 Merchant street, where she conducted a photograph gallery. The detectives questioned her and obtained a confession that she had received a num- ber of presents with the knowledge that 'gshe did not intend to marry any one of the | donors nor to return the gifts in case they were demanded. Then, these wise sleutns took their departure with the admission that she was beyond their power and that they could make no arrests. The circum- stance was published in the newspapers, and whén Inspector Dice, who should have been notified at the start, and to whom the correspondence from Lulu Raines’ coun- itry dupes should have been turned over at once, sent men to the woman’s house, they found she had taken the hint and flown. Inspector Dice is also looking for a young man known as (Lutzberg, who lived with Luin Raines at 618 ‘Marion street. He has not been found, and if he is apprehended he will be tried for complicity in the fraud worked by the woman. It iis believed Lutz- (berg remained at 618 Marion street after Lulu Raines changed her address, and for- ‘4warded to her the mail she received at tha® ‘number addressed to ‘““Mrs. Smallie.’”’ The ; _. |family now living at 618 Marion street pro, fesses to know nothing of Lulu Raines and her movements, | From the description of the woman in the hands of Inspector Dice, Lulu Raines is not a $10.00 beauty, and she was certainly wise in sending to her would-be husbands the photographs of other young women. ‘Lulu is described as weighing about 110 ‘pounds, of sallow complexion, with bad teeth, medium height and fully 40 years old. She and her husband, Carver Raines, who is said to be living in Texas now, formerly had a photograph gallery at Bighth street and Franklin avenue. They were divorced in St. Louis five years ago, and then Lulu Raines branched into business for herself. Among her first victims, says Inspector Dice, were the Hunter brothers of Colum- bia, Mo. She advertised for a husband and John Hunter replied. They became en- ‘gaged, and in one of her letters she spoke of a charming friend, Grace Lewis, who was also looking.out for a protector. John Hunter innocently and k‘ndly steered his brother Henry against ‘“Miss Lewis,” who Was none other than Lulu Raines with a different. handwriting and a change in ad- ress, Henry fell violently in love with “Grace Lewis’ and sent her a horse for a present. This made Ivalu Raines jealous and complained to John that Gracie was getting’ all the best of it. The obliging John. not to (be outdone, not only sent his fiancee a ‘horse, but a $9 bicycle. The Hunters came to St. Louis on a visit to their betrothed. It they never met her—or ‘‘them,” to put | correctly. The two dupes returned home, and when hey opened up correspondence with “Miss Raines” and “Mies Lewis’ again the young ladies told them their hearts had cooled and cruelly declared the wedding ‘off. The Hunters took their medicine like a couple of brave men and never *‘put up a Jholler’” until they heard there were others and that the officers were on the trail of the fascinating Luin. DR.

Precisely at 10 o'clock will occur the solemn biessing of the church, the princi- al event of the day. This will be fol- ety at 10:30 o’clock by solemn high mass, with Rt. Rev.

Extracts from a lecture delivered by Dr. oon Harrison of Temple Israel, on Jan. 9, History is not an inventory of facts. It is not the composite photography of na- tions. I: is not an encyclopedia of weari- some detail. It cdlls into alae not only ob- servation, but analysis, reason, imagina- tion. Reason alone, as Macaulay observes, would give us but theory, and imagination only: romance, Analysis alone would give us simply a lame and impotent conjecture of motives and forces. But together they constitute the true historian. Reaeon seizes the parchole cal mo- ment of dramatic climax. nowledge sketches the outline and imagination colors the picture. We recognize the value of per- spective in history, the election of critical moments, of epoch-making men. We realize the importance of the insignificant, the eoname’ f of obscure factors. We have passed eyond the romantic panoramas of Herodotus and Livy to the lightning flash of Carlyle, the inevitable sequences of Buckle and Green, Motley and Michelet. The idea of the philosophy of history, the idea that humanity is not a chaotic whirl of chance-driven atoms, but an organism with an organic principle of growth and a final cause, a sublime and fruitful idea, first injected into thought by Hebrew prophecy, to-day co-ordinates and groups into casual a the age-long, world-wide drama of Se. This pleasing undertaking of tracing uni- ty amid apparent diversity will not deal largely with the pompous actors that crowd the scenes and fill the public eye. The fig- urehead on the prow of the ship does not direct its motion or furnish its motive erties It is only an ornament, the em- sem of a name. The kings, the dynasties, the warriors, the merchant princes do not determine the true history of their times, It is not carved out by the sword, nor syllabled im letters of fire by foren®ic gladi- ators. It may germinate in the closet of the scholar, in the hovel of the peasant. The future may sleep 'n a log ‘cabin of I)- linois, in a manger of Judea, in a cradle of Egyptian bulrushes. The born master makes every seat a throne. Thought is the real revolutionary. A true idea is charged with the omnipotence of God. What, then are the ideas that are the warp and woot of this great historic fabric? The world swings through its orbit, obe- dient to two great forces—the one, cen- tripetal, drawing it sunward, towards the solar center, the other, centrifugal, pulling outward into space. History furnishes a parallel, Mank'nd js dragged from a common center by centrifu- gal foree, dragged towards it by centripetal. The one is the element of separation, the other ia concentration. The one is broadly the wedge of war, the other the Welding of peace. In a word, as we epitomize our year, the centrifugal force ‘s conflict, the cen- tripetal force is culture. Conflict i¢ mainly barbarism. Culture ts mainly clvtlizgation. This is the highest generalization to which we can reduce the totality of events. This has been to a large extent a of con- Rrown and Lindell. Evening, “Salvation.” uy Franklin avenue; Capt.

HAS BEEN GONE SIX YEARS. Rumors Having Been Started That He Is Alive It Is Desired to Have .« _the Fact Proven. Ln, Special to the Post-Dispatch. KEOKUK, Io., Jan. 15.—C. H. Sexy, @ wealthy retired farmer of Elisworth, Io., has advertised as follows: “I will pay $100 to the persons who can prove without a doubt that Oscar Hanson is still living. He is the divorced husband of my wife. He left here the 27th day of June, 189, and was not heard of until some time later, when a nétice was read in Scandinavia, giving his name, place in Nor- way, etc., stating that he perished in a shipwreck on the Norway coast. As rumors have been circulated that he is yet alive, I make this offer to set the matter at rest.’ The advertisement has created much com- ment, as did Hanson's _—— disap- pearance six years ago. @e man Was a wealthy citizen and was very well known and highly respected. Suddenly he was not to be found. e had left his wife and children, apparently. After he had béen gone a reasonable length of time his wife secured a divorce from him and marred C. H.

The funeral of James Hazard, who died at Clayton Friday afternoon, will take place from the house Monday morning at 10 o’clock. _ Interment will be in Fee Fee Cemetery on the Creve Coeur branch of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Mr. Hazard was once worth nearly $1 000. He came to St. Louis from an Illinois farm in 1846 and as the head of the firm of Hazard & Wilson engaged in the coal business at Eighth and Market streets. The firm prospered and from one horse and cart there grew.125 teams. The tugs Susie B. Hazard and Baton Rouge Belle were bullt to tow the firm’s &® barges from their coal fields in Illinois to St. Louis. In 1880 the coal trade of St. Louis was practically in the hands of Hazard & Wil- son. About that time determined competi- tion manifested itself and a war of rates was declared. It proved rufnous, and after a six years’ struggle Mr. Hazard sold what little property remained and purchased a farm in St. Louis County. Seven years of farm life sufficed for him, and buying a modest house in Clayton, in 1892, he removed there. Since that time he has engaged in the coal and ice business on a small scale. MISS JACKSON HEARD FROM. Locust Street Relatives Are Reassured by a wetter. For nearly a week relatives of Miss Flor- ence Jackson, daughter of Mrs. Lucy Jack- son, 3023 Locust street, were anxious con- cerning her whereabouts. Friday a letter was received stating that she was all right. ‘‘Miss Jackson has been located. The fam- fly declines to discues the matter,’ was the message sent down tairs to a Post- Dispatch reporter Saturday. The young woman left St. Louis Jan, 7 to visit her sister, Mrs. Nelson of Kirks- ville, Mo. She was in poor health when she left. When Moberly was reached Mise Jackson alighted from the train. She had 55 minutes to wait for her Kirksville con- nection. When that train pulled out from Moberty the young woman was not . When she failed to reach her destination her family in this city were notified. They put the wires to working and communi- cated with all her friends and acquaintances and with the railroad and police officials. Until Friday her mother and relatives in St. Louls were nearly distracted with ap- prehension. Then came the reassuring let- ter. ANDREW ALLEN DISCHARGED. State Failed to Prove a Case of Black- listing Against Him. Andrew A. Allen, assistant general man- ager of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, was discharged by Judge Murphy Friday. Matthew M. Kelley, 1415 South Montrose avenue, was the prosecuting witness and the charge was lacklisting. The State failed to make a case. Judge Murphy and Kelley’s attorney en- gaged in some very bitter arguments, dur- ing the progress of which the court re marked: “What's the use of chewing the rag? If your witnesses have disappointed you, just confess that you have no case and that will put an end to all this useless talk.” The attorney contended that he had made a case by showing that the alleged black- list was sent to W. B. Lyons, division su- -rintendent of the M., K. & T., at Sedalia. ut the Judge disagreed with him. No evi- dence was offered for the defense. Best to Florida.

Mrs. Bessie Ingraham, 6 years old, worked as a seamstress for one of the good families at Ellendale. She was faithful and industrious. She dressed neatly and ap- peared to be a model. Friday she drew her pay and came to the city. When she left Union Station she was faint with hunger. She waehed her. lunch down with a bottle of wine. The wine was 60 gvod she ordered another bottle. Then she thought whisky would reach the spot, The police could not credit go nice and clean an old woman with being drunk on the street. Though she was reeling down Market street and yelling like a Comanche, they thought she was mereiy suffering with hysterics. At the City Hospital Dr. Sut- ter saw it was just another case of alco- holism. The Next Excursion.

Otto Volbehr, a clerk for the A’ nopoly Drug Co., at Sixth and Gtreets, Was atrested Friday aft a warrant charging him with plife the store. Some goods claimed b- pany were found in his room. The best employment burear ever conceived is exemplified - Miss Frances E. Willard, who has been attending the world’s convention of the W. C. T. U., says that better health for women is to-day a more urgent matter than woman’s suffrage. She says: ““What women at present most need is a better supply of red corpuscles.” From every section of the country, from Maine to California, come well-attested re- ports of women, bloodless, dyspeptic, nerv- ous, seriously run down, and in many cases so weak as to be bed-ridden, who have been enabled to resume their places in the family circle and in social Nfe—healthy, ruddy, well-cured women, by the ald of that great blood-maker and health-maker, Paine’s celery compound. Mrs. EB. A. Ward is one of these fortunate women*whom Paine’s celery compound has saved from an ailing, unhappy invalid con- dition, as her letter shows: 213 Michigan av., Mason City, fo., Sept. 12, 1897. Wells & Richardson Co.: Gentlemen—My greatest trouble seemed to be a general weakness and all-over tired feeling. I am 66 years of age and I did not expect to be ever strong again, but I used four bottles of Paine's celery compound and was greatly strengthened, and my cough seemed better so that I stopped using the remedy and have not since felt the need of any further help whatever. Very respectfully yours, MRS. E. A. WARD. Persons of large experience among nerv- ous women who, as a rule, are thin and lack blood, recommend Paine’s celery More Red Corpuscles in Their ---Paine's Celery (smpound. rete Pett tS ifsageyeFesre oD bey ‘4 +%. 6 wee i.

This settled confidence in Patne’s celery compound is not a hearsay belief, but rests In nearly every case on personal use or ac- quaintance with men or women who have been restored to useful health by no other means. The rapid change for the better in color, flesh and expression of the face is so unmistakable that repair of the wasted tissues might well be called a renewal of Lfe. The process by which Paine’s celery com- pound ts able to build up health in the run- down body is not hard to understand when one observes how ‘surely it disposes the bowels to act regularly, how it increases the capacity to take and assimilate food, and regulates the nerves all over the body. The heavy, alarming pain im the back and loins disappears; the growing paleness and loss of flesh is stopped and a bright, buoy- ant feeling gradually takes the place of that unending sense of tire and depression. Paine’s celery compound ts the exact reni- edy for that large class of feeble, thin- blooded, often hysterical persons whose greatest mecd fs a thorough refurnishing of their blood with the red corpuscles upon which health and happiness in such large measure depend. The extraordinary virtue of Paine’s celery compound to increase the proportion of, red corpuscles in the blood is the source of its great power over all blood diseases, rheu- matism, neuralgia, kidney diseases, back aches, joss of flesh and general run-down condition, ‘ EVERY CONVENIENCE.

I remember, when a boy, my mother always made me attend Friday evening prayer-meetings im our village church at Peekskill. An old Yankee deacon, who had sold me a pair of skates which were of dull edge and soft metal, was reciting his shortcomings and offering a fervent petition for mercy. He summd up the catalogue by saying: “Q Lord, I am morally abd spiritually a man of wounds and bruises and putrefying sores.” an we were leaving the church, in my rage about the ekates I said: “Well, Deacon, you told the Lora the truth about: yourself to-night, anyway.” i bear to this day the scars resu'ting from this frank ‘cor ment ‘upoa the deacon. * A ee 4" a ‘ 7 att SURES ; en ee tee Ac ate of mine, a preacher, wag located in ® Spirfituelistic neighborhood, and the leader of wey | 3 ae I 4: of ; . ; the Spiritualists’ bend died.

Now old Mrs. Chaffie never likes to admit that there is anything she does not know, so she looked very wise and said she thought so too. “All the coleopteras are liable to be killed off by the first freeze,’ continued Johnnie. “Why don’t they wrap some rags around them before the cold weather sets in? Anyhow, I sup- pose they will sprout up again from the roots in the spring,” said the old lady, knitting away for dear life. “Sprout again in the spring? Grandma, you must think the diptera are some kind of a plant.” “No; I jJidn’t say that,” exclaimed the old lady nervously. “What I meant to say was that they would thaw out and come to life again as soon as they got in the warm animal house,” added the old lady triumphantly. “Grandma, the diptera ain’t an alligator or a new fangled kind of a snake.”’ “Of course not, Johnnie; I never said they were. What I said was that they ought to put another coat of parafine on it and then the inscriptions wouldn't be chipped off by the frost.” “Think diptera is a new name for the obelisk?” asked Johnnie, with a grin. “Who said anything about the obelisk?’ asked oli Mrs. Chaffie, firing up and dropping several stitches of her knitting. “Grandma, own up. You wouldn’t know the difference between a diptera and thysanoptera if you were to meet them in the road. They are different kinds of beetles that injure the trees in Central Park, and the diptera are the worst; and what I said was that the cold weather would freeze their whiskers off.” “T understood you perfectly,”’ said the old lady, with quiet dignity. “I’ve often read about the big beetles in the park.” “There are no less than 2,000 kinds of insects that injure the trees, and the park officials are kept busy in summer making war hem.” “Do they feed them on Paris green, like potato bugs?” “Naw,” responded Johnnie, peevishly, “and they don’t catch ’em and squeeze their heads in a lemon-squeezer.” “Maybe they catch them in traps,” suggested the old lady. “That wouldn’t work with the diptera, or even the lepidoptera,” replied Johnnie, fixing his eye on an article telling how to alleviate the suffering of teething infants. “‘How do they get rid of the dip—diptera?”’ “Listen, grandma (reading), ‘If they are trouble some, give them paregoric and rub their gums with a rubber ring or a silver coin.’ ” After expressing much surprise, and Johnnie had read it over to her again, the old lady said emphatically: “Tf I am spared until next summer I am going to the park and see the keepers give those insects their paregoric and rub their gums with a teeth- ing ring.”’ ALEX.

SSMS SS “I came mighty near bein’ wealthy once,”’ sighed Jason Greenhaw, “but jest like my usual luck, the chance slipped away from me before I could grab it. While I was up to the city, one time, I met a rich feller from the West who was goin’ to sell me a gold brick for about one-fifth of its real value, jest b’cuz he needed the money right away and the banks wouldn’t be open till next mornin’. He was a terrible hot-tempered, impatient feller— iike most of them Western men are, I guess—and while I was diggin’ the money up out of my pocket as fast as I could he kept steppin’ back and forth excitedly, as a man generally will when he’s in a hurry, and trod on the foot of a dog that happened to git behind him. The dog bit a piece out of his leg and ran away, and the feller was so mad that he didn’t stop to think that he was throwin’ away a fortune, but jest flung that gold brick at the flyin’ dog with all his might, like it wasn’t worth a cent! “Tt hit the dog and rolled under a horse's feet, and a policeman grabbed it up, and the man from the West ran right over me in his hurry to git away. Is’pose he thought the dog was a valuable one and that he was liable to be arrested for breakin’ the critter’s back, and was so excited that he forgot all about the gold. When I picked my- self up the Westerner, the policeman and the gold brick were all gone, and I ain’t ever seen a sign of any of ’em since. That is why I’m diggin’ and delvin’ now to make a livin’, insteai of ridin’ in my carriage and wallowin’ in luxury this minute,”’ YO 0000 OS A QUALIFIED JUROR. —_—— ee SN, <A “You look troubled,” said a St. Louis man to a neighbor. “T am bothered about that boy of mine." “What's the matter with him?” “He is so stupid he can’t learn to read and write, and doesn’t seem to have good sense. What will become of him when he grows up?” “I wouldn't worry about him. He will be all right. He-will have a steady job on juries at $2 a day. That’s more than many a bright young man can earn.” SO BORO A VICIOUS. MAN. “What did you say was the name of your horse?” “Nail.” “Nail?” “Yes, Nail—N-a-i-l.” “What induced you to give the anima! such a queer name?” “Nail is the most appropriate name imaginable. My wife can’t drive him.” 3 oe a iyael. Amos I | s oH NP HGR. = “Say, j’ever hear of ole Si Bloomer?” ejaculated the old man as he bit off a piece of navy plug: “uster keep hens.

No wonder he got No wonder! Shoo! SHE SPEAKS QUT. “What you got in that package?” asked Mrs. Nage when her husband came home the other evening and laid a small package on the hall table while he drew off his overcoat. “Oh, nothing,” replied Nagg. “Nothing? People don't do up nothing in white paper. If it’s candy you can”—— “It isn’t candy.” “Well, what is it?” “Thunder and light- ning! Can’t a man buy a necktie or two with- out his wife”’—— “There, now! That will do. If you think I’m one of those meech- ing, namby-pamby women who will stand by and be sworn at and reviled and abused by any man you are very much mistaken. I shouki think you had lived with me long enough to find that out! And as for your wasting your money on neck- ties, Joe Nagg, you'll not do it without hearing from me. You've half a dozen good neckties now, and you'd no more need of another than a cat has need of two tails! Talk about the vanity of women! It don’t compare to the vanity of men!

Here it was only three r feur Weeks ago that you brought home a finger nail contraption - of some sort that you'd given ‘only a quarter’ for, when you could have cleaned your nails just as quickly and just as well with a blade of your pocket-knife! And one day last summer you gave ‘only a quar- ter’ for that thing to hold your necktie down in the back, when I've seen men selling them on the street for five cents apiece, only they weren't as fancy as yours, and, anyhow, I could pin your necktie down with a common pin so that it wouldn't creep up, and that quarter could have gone toward the mort- gaze on this house or foward the children’s education! I tell you, Joe Nagg, that it’s this quarter here and a quarter there that’s going to turn us out of house and home some day and semi the chil- dren and I to my father for him to support, and then I guess you'll wish that you had some of the dimes and quarters you're wasting now on mere personal adorn- ment that no one re spects you for and that you'd look better with- out.

I ain’t goin’ ter hev any star boarders on this yere hen ranch, an’ if them yere hens don’t do their full duty to their country they're goin’ in the pot, by gum!

But when Si came ter de- velop them thar things he nearly had a fit, fer he found thet he had twenty-five pictures of an ole brindle hen thet he had. “*Bust my galluses!’ said Si, ‘if thet ole brindle hen of mine ain’t gone an’ laid twenty-five eggs in one day!’ “Wul, he sot down an’ went ter figgerin’ agin, an’ the way thet he figgered hit out wuz this way: thet if one her laid twenty-five eggs in one day two thousan’ hens would lay fifty thousan’ eggs, which at one cent apiece would be five hundred dollars a day. ; “ ‘Now, what I want ter do,’ said Si, ‘is ter git two thousan’ hens like thet ole brindle hen, an’ my fortune is made” “Wul, the next day he got forty-five eggs an’ forty-five pictures of thet darned ole brindle hen! “ ‘Gogh all hemlocks" said Si, an’ he went ter figgerin’ agin; but he had ter give hit up, ‘cause the figgers were gittin’ beyon’ him. An thar wuz another thing thet Si couldn't see, an’ thet wuz how thet ole brindle hen got time ter eat. So he jes’ laid around the next day an’ kept his eye on thet ole hen. “Wul, he found out how thet ole hen worked hit, an’ hit busted his figgers plum high. “Ye see, thet ole hen had got onter thet yere picture arrangement, an’ so she jes’ hung eround thet yere machine ‘till some hen came eround what wanted ter lay an egg, an’ then she would slide in an’ spring the machine an’ hev her pic- ture took, an’ then she would let in the hen what wanted ter lay an egg. “What made her do hit?

Yes; the building was doomed. But the firemen were working bravely and had saved all the men, women and children. Suddenly a fair young thing rushed up to one of the firemen. Her hair was hanging down her back and her beautiful eyes wide open with horror. “Oh, save it!’ she cried, pointing to the second- story window. “Save it, for it is not mine!’ A brave fireman came to her. “Tell me where it is and I will save it or die in the attempt.”’ “Heaven will reward you!” she cried. “That room up there—there’s where I left it. Ob, gave it!” With a fearless smile the laddie mounted the ladder amid the cheers of the populace. , “How old was it?” asked another woman of the fair young thing. “Only a month!” cried the distracted woman. “Oh, Heaven, he is coming back without it!” “Madam,” said the fireman sadly, “I could find no child’”—— “Child!” she screamed, “I said nothing about a child.” “Then what in the blankity blank did you want me to save?” asked the puzzled laddie. “The new chainless bike which I rented!’ And then she fainted away. >DO> 000 > THE RETORT COURTEOUS.

After two long years of fierce hatings after wars of words and the exchange of bitter charges and bitterer counter - charges, after the heaping on each other’s heads of vitri- olic epithets enough to have burned the hair all off from a buffalo robe as large as Lake Titicaca, we are at last rid of Brother Lanks, the editor of our loath- some contemporary, the Bugle. Lanks villified us without stint, and we stigmatized him with- out limit; we hated him corlially and con- sistently, and he re- turned our hatred with interest; we more than once threatened to as- sassinate him, and might have done so if he had ever got us cor- nered; but, in spite of it all, when we saw him last night depart- ing on the top side of a saw-edged rail, clad in his close-fitting coat of tar, buttoned on with a broom and gaily trimmed with hen feathers, a#fd up-borne on the shoulders of his erstwhile friends, we could not help but feel sorry for him. While we haji in he past charged him with many crimes, which we could have come as near proving on him as he could to substan- tiating the many of- fenses he laid at our door, we did not believe him guilty of the charge which caused his enforced exodus. In writing up the ama+* teur minstrel perform- ance, given by the so- ciety ladies of this city last Wednesday night, we believe he meant to say that “the partici- pants, with one or two exceptions, all filled their parts to perfec- tion,”’ and, from our in- timate knowledge of the perversity of inani- mate objects in the printer’s craft, we are sure that it was only a typographical error which caused the sub- stitution of an “n” for ‘tthe “r” in the word ‘“parts.”” But the rela- tives of the scandalized minstrels gave him no time for explanation. ami Brother Lanks went from us, looking. we wot, like a half- fledged cassowary. ALARMING SYMPTOM “Doctor,” began the kind-hearted business man when he had been ushered into the phy- sician’s consulting room, “I have just dropped in to see you about a juvenile pro- tege of mine in whom I take a areat interest I mean my office boy. He has been with me now for going on three years, and until quite recently I econsidergd him one of the bright- est little fellows lever had in my emiploy. But lately he hag eeted so unlike his weual self as to cause me considerable anxiety. I fear .hat either from excessive cigarette smoking, too many dime novels or some other similar cause, his mind has been se- riously affected.” “What are the symp- toma which have led you to this conclu- laskitude or disinectina- tion to perform bis duties?” “Not more than us- ual.” replied the busi- ness man. “No, I can't say that there is any visible change in his outward demeanor. What leads me to fear for his reason is the fact that MH is over two weeks since the last time his gran? mother died.” : diy .

AMILLE SEY- GARD, whose latest photo- graph appears on this ~~ & ae —ee- eee page, is one of the leading stars of the Damrosch Opera Company. Miss Seygard was born in Russia of French parents. Giv- ing promise of a fine voice, she was sent to Paris to study. In 1888 she made her de- but aes Zerlina in “Don Giovani’ at the Royal Covent Garden Theatre, scoring 4 triumph. Since then she has sung in the principal cities of both continents, her most successful roles | being associated with ‘‘Barbiere de Seville,” | “Mignon” and ‘“‘Car- | men,’ Massenet chose her to originate Wer- | ther. Miss Seygard made her New York debut with the Damrosch Symphony Soolety in “Carmen.” This season Miss Seygard returns to be featured as Carmen, though it is also promised that she will sing Rosina and Zerlina. Miss Seygard has a voice of fine range and volume and is endowed with an un- usual amount of dra- matic power. She has a very striking stage presence.
