GERMANY RENEWS HER DEMAND’ FOR A HEAVY INDEMNITY FOR THE MISSIONARIES. UNDERSTANDING WITH RUSSIA. Whe Czar and Emperor Are Plainly Pulling Together and No Objec- tion Will Be Made to Loot- ing of the Chinese. PEKIN, Jan. 15.—Germany has demanded a %-year lease of Kiao Chau and a large .@rea surrounding it. China offers to lease the bay and shores only for 60 years. Here the matter rests. The Germans insist on the right to build rallroads and work mines whenever they wish. It is reported that a railroad from Kiao Chau to Binan Fu has been agreed to, the Germans acquiring mining rights for a mile on each side of the line and the Chin- ese to be admitted as shareholders. Germany has renewed her demand for an indemnity of 200,000 taels for the erection of a cathedral and for compensation to the amount of several] thousand taels for the relatives of the murdered missionaries. TO STORM THE WHITE HOUSE, Kerens Is Said to Have Oalled a Gath- ering of Clans. Apecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan, 15.—A big delegation of Missouri Republican office seekers will come to Washington in the next few days. Their visit is in answer to a request sent out by National Committeeman Kerens and his Washington lieutenants. The plan is to storm the White House and get the President to dispose of all the patronage in St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph and Springfield. The President will be asked to Settle all the muddiles in the Eastern and Western Districts so that the Republicans may cease fighting for patronage and pay gome attention to the State and Congres- sional] campaigns. Committeeman Kerens and his adherents claim that the President in thus delaying matters is complicating any chances th@ Republican party in the State may have and seriously jeopardizing the Congressional] Districts now represented by Republicans. The Western District pre- gents more complications than St. Louis. Maj. Warner is still a factor in Kansas City, whereas Chauncey I. Filley has been eliminated in St. Louis. Because of the Great number of applicants for the big places, there will be no agreement on a “slate” without a big prelimimary row. COAL COMPANIES INDICTED. Springfield Concerns Charged With Conspiring to Defraud. SPRINGFIELD, [ll., Jan. 15.—The grand jury of the Sangamon Circuit Court to-day indicted several of the companies forming the alleged Springfield Coal Trust. They are charged with conspiring to defraud. The coal companies indicted are: The Black Diamond Coal and Tile Co., Citizens’ Coal Mining Co., Springfield Iron Co., Springfield Coal Mining and Tile Co,, Springfield Co- operative Coal Mining Co., Capital Coal Co,, Woodside Coal Co., Sangamon Coal Co., Junction Mining Co. and the West Emé Coal Mining Co. The companies formed the Springfield Coal Association and advanced the price of coal] 50 cents per ton, claiming they were compelled to advance the price to consumers because they had advanced the wages of their employes. The advance in wages to thelr employes was 714 cents per ton, ‘A DUMMY FOR A DAUGHTER. Pathetic Actions of a Mother Who Was Bereaved. Special to the Post-Dispatch. TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 15.—Magegte Hines, @ beautiful girl, died nearly two years ago. Her mother, a widow, was so overcome by her daughter’s death that for a time it was thought she would die of grief. About two weeks after Maggie's burial passers-by were surprised to see seated at one of the front windows of Mrs. Hines the figure of what geemed to be a young girl dressed in the], clothing that Maggie wore before she was seized with the sickness that caused her death. Mre. Hfnes had obtained a dummy, which she clothed in her dead daughter’s apparel, and placed it upon a chair. The window shades are never lowered and Mrs. Hines can be seen frequently caress- ing and addressing the effigy. At night a dull light !s Mung upon the figure by a hang- - ing lamp that burns dimly.

Theodore Sonnenberg Surprises the Thieves Who Were Attempting to Enter His Father’s Store. Three burglars met with a hot reception while attempting to enter.the grocery store of Lucas Sonnenberg, at 1208 North Twen- tieth street, early yesterday morning. The men were interrupted in their work and chased by an angry crowd of citizens, who fired a fusillade at the robbers. One of the men is known to have been wound- ed, but all escaped, Theodore S. Sonnenberg, 18 years old, sleeps in the rear of his father’s atore. Shortly after midnight he heard a noige at the shutters of a rear window. He lay still and listened until he was sure some one was trying to break in. Then he reached for his revolver and stealthily opened the rear door. He shout- ed for the burglars to halt and pointed his weapon atthem. They paid no heed to his command and sprinted north in the alley, toward Cass avenue, Young Sonnenberg fired four shots at the retreating robbers, but they did not slack- en their speed. Citizens on Sarsfield place heard the shots, and, hurrying to the street, joined in the chase. The men all escaped. One citizen says that as the men rushed by one of them said: “The young guy got me in the leg with one of h’g pills.’ An hour or two later a young man applied at Temm’s drug store, Twentieth and Biddle Streets, and wanted to have a gunshot wound in his right thigh dressed. He was referred to the City Dispensary, but the records of that institution show that no euch a wound was dressed there Saturday morning. APPEALED TO A COURT.

PARIS, Jan. 15.—The French Government has refused permission to the Post Dispatch and New York World to send a correspondent—a man of international fame—to French Gulana to see Dreyfus.

Anyhow, that ts another story. This one is about Kirk and his clothes. At 7:45 by the English chimes which stand at the head of the Planters’ main staircase, Mr. Kirk caused another convulsion to the assembled populace by returning from his day’s work and ascending the elevator to room 630. Dinner was served in his room and when he came back down the elevator this was the tout ensembles A bell-shaped egilk hat. High collar. ; Salmon-pink puff tle, fastened with A large pear! pin.

The face under the bell-shaped hat and just above the high collar mustn't be forgot- ten. It’s a good face, but not good-looking. The jaw is especially good. It’s firm and runs to a square chin—the jaw of a man who would fight, and the jaw of a man who would shoot—who did shoot, in fact. But you'll have to ask Mandelbaum about that. Kirk won't talk about It. The Kirkonian mouth ts not so pleasing.

ANOTHER, Threw the Body in a Creek and Police Are Hunting for It. PHTLADELPHIA, Jan. 16.—A case was | reported to Central Police theadquarters late to-day which bears every indication of subsequent developments showing that a 5-year-old boy has been murdered by a youth of 15 years. Percy Lockyar, aged 68 years, who re- sided in the outskirts of West Philadel- phia, did not return home last evening and the police made unsuccessful gearch of a strip of woods near. To-day it was learned that Samuel Hen- derson, aged 15 years, whose home is near that of the Lockyar family, had been seen in the woods with little Percy. On being closely questioned by the police, he as- tounded his hearers by sayine at while he was whittling a stick with a large knife Percy had accidentally fallen against the blade, which entered deeply into his breast. Henderson said the blood spurted from the wound and the child fell dead. Fearing he would be arrested, Henderson said te threw the body into a creek. He then led the searchers to where the boy’s hat and coat had been hidden and pointed out the place in the creek where he had thrown the body. The creek was dragged, but the body was not found. The police believe that the killing was deliberate, Hender- son {s in cusjody. ONE MOTHER HAPPY. Her Son, Sentenced to Be Hanged for WASHINGTON, Jan.

Dreyfus was con- |demned. This interview, cabled back to Paris, incensed the Government of France against Zola. Zola became the European champion of “Publicity”—the Post-Dis- path’s watchword—against secrecy. The Post-Dispatch and World then applied to the French Government for per- mission to send a reporter to Dreyfus, on Devil's Island, French Guiana, to get his own story. The Government, fearing publicity, refused. ‘WILL WIN THE FIGHT IN PARIS. M. Zola was then invited to go to Guiana as the Post-Dispatch and World's special correspondent. His answer was: hr ohroirotre “T am greatly indebted to the Post-Dispatch and World. They are champions of the oppressed the world over, but I can make the fight bet- ter in Paris. No one could get within a league of Devil’s Island under present restrictions. To see Dreyfus would be impossible. He is too well guarded, Besides, it is unnecessary. The fight will be won here.” Seah eheDeSeeGeGe Pe GePePeOOO+PeGePePePePePePePeSoe ore The proud Mme, Dreyfus broke the silence of years by giving to the Post-Dis. patch and World all her knowledge of her exiled husband's exile and expatriation, The Vice-President of the French Senate, M. Scheurer-Kestner, who, fellowing these publications, urged the Government to reopen the case and let the public know the evidence, fell under the ban of official displeasure and this week he was dropped from his honorable place. Zola goes on. The Post-Dispatch and World correspondent saw him again at his Paris residence and asked his views on the subject of this prosecution now instituted against him by the French Government for his charges against hig? military officials. Zola was overwhelmed with work, having had numerous callers, PROOFS ARE OVERWHELMING. He was elated at the prospect of being prosecuted or persecuted. He sald: “T anticipate it not only with confidence, but with joy.” : “T did not deliver my challenge lightly,” continued the celebrated novelist. “T resolved to force the hands of the Government; to expose this atrocious injustice, and I have succeeded. Should I not, therefore, feel triumphant, now that I am certain the liberation of Dreyfus cannot be much longer delayed? | “There will at last be a trial in the full light of day. Our proofs will be produced. They are complete and overwhelming. I cannot discuss them with you, but I ask my friends everywhere to rely that I am working for nothing but vin- dication and justice. “T do not attack our army. No man has a greater tenderness and greater re- epect for it. I accuse the military chiefs of conniving in this great injustice, and I shall prove my words. I can say no more at present.” The Post-Dispatch representative saw Mme. Dreyfus who, in reply to his in- quiry, said: “It is a calumnious falsehood to state that my poor husband confessed his guilt. He always protested and centinues to protest his absolute innocence. A fair, open inquiry is all we need to establish it.” Mme. Dreyfus bore traces in her beautiful face of the ordeal she recently went through. She was pale and agitated and spok¢ as one in a state of high nervous tension, “J HAVE NOT ATTACKDD THE ARMY.” Following is M. Zola’s reply to the letter addressed to him by a committee of the Parisian Students’ Association, in which they expressed thelr regret at the attitude taken up by him on the Dreyfus-Esterhazy affair: SLEPOEPEEPIOD OPES PO LE SPH G OPO OOO HHO POOOG OP oG OPPO oP oGoDoy > that I am surprised at the terms of the letter they have sent me.

Jan. 15.—The new phase into which the Dreyfus case has entered ts a distinct advance. The era of secret courts- martial is over and a civil and public court will have to Investigate Emile Zola’s charges of persistent distorting of justice, The behavior of military authorities in “burking’” the inquiry casts the gravest reflections upon the oft-asserted honor of the French Army, which has shown an obstinate determination to stick together, right or wrong.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Presa Publishing Company, 1898. VIENNA, Jan. 15.—At the home of Dr, Schenk there are doubters who want more information before they will believe the great scientist has discovered a means of con- trolling the sex of? children, All Vienna professors and scientists are indignant with Dr. Schenk for having published his discovery otherwise than through some scientific body. sulting whether Dr. Schenk did not commit a disciplinable offense. ‘They are con- However, all ad- mit that if he can prove his assertions he has scored the greatest scientific discov- ery of the century.

If he proves this he may be believed. in everything else up to to-day difference in sex of the ovum has been maintained, but he may have found means for increasing the woman's disposition to bear boys. There is wisdom in the old peasants’ belief that in years following a good walnut harvest more boys are born than in other years, and women éat more nuts. This disposes them towards bringing forth boys.” HOW ABOUT TWINS? Is the Cry Sent Out by the Scientists of Paris. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. PARIS, Jan. 15.—Dr. J. V. Prendergast. the leading practitioner of thé British- American colony, said to the Post-Dispatch representative: “Dr, Schenk goes very far. He supposes he can dictate to nature. It is recognized by the medical faculty that there are more red corpuscles in the blood of a male than @ femaie, but where he differs from the present medica] belief is in holding that he can, from the beginning, so modify the Ovuen that its development is carried out from start to finish. Dr. Schenk thinks eex is séttied by hature from the outset, whereas the accepted belief is that nature fuspends the decision until the embryo is ready to take a male or female form. “Such is not my view, though we must oe prudent about rejecting any scientific os especially coming from a man of rof.

A pigeon almost always lays two eggs one is male, the other female. There is no embryo in the egg; it is only by fecunda- tion that the egg acquires life. At Start there is no sex; after six weeks the sex can be prognosticated . Among some |} animals one can tell earlier than being laid.’’ “You think if Dr. Schenk is right, should be able to infiluexce the sex at the moment when ing?’ asked the reporter. “i’vidently, but how is one to exact moment? tion of sex depends on which we know nothing. the egz may sex before the embryo whole we must wait.” Arthur Porte, the director iof the Jardin G’Acciimation, said to the correspondent: “For many years we have heen making ex- periments with animals, and we have rived at results very nearly certain in the case of a species of horned sheep not unlike in some respects the buffalo or bison. We have observed that in all cases where a young, vigorous male was placed with an aged, exhausted female the species result was male, The older the male grew and therefore the more exhausted, the mere cer- tainly was the product to be female. When the anima! was very old we placed with him &® young vigorous female, From this union nothing but female were ‘produced. Where both animals were young and vigorous the male predominated, There was no certainty with other animals, notably horses. “Prof Schenk’s theory is that sex depends on food. It may be so, but only, I think, so far as the food is of force-producing power.” M.

WHAT THEY ARE GETTING NOW Is JUST BARELY ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. $45,000,000 CAPITAL TO FIGHT Mill Owners Say They Can Pay No More—The Ring-Spinning Machine Specter. Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. FALL RIVER, Mass., Jan. 15.—A quarter of a million workers in the New Engiand cotton mills will strike next Saturday. When the weavers and carders and spin- ners took their wages home to-night it was with the bitter realization that next Satur- day night the eighty big mills of this cfty, all the mills in New Bedford and the other towns that have thrived chiefly through the spend'ng of the wages of the workers will have.mo payrolls, if the mutual] threats of - acturers and workmen are carried . ect. This will be done unless some unre. cseen intervention arrives. The air is filled with rumors of the im- pending paralysis of the :ndustry. Meetings of the unions of weavers, spinners and carders have been called for to-night In ev- ery town where there is a cotton milk ine men, women and girls who work in ‘thes mills have determined that under no Bore tion will they accept the unqual fied reduc- tion of wages. The manufacturers are not a whit less determined that the reduction Shall begin with the rising of Monday’s sun than they were when the notice was first given. It means that 20,000 workers must ac- cept a reduction of 11 1-9 per cent in their wages or ‘‘quit work,’’ as the manufactur. ers term it. In the words of the working men and women themselves it means a stupendous #trike, for the wages being paid at present are claimed to be as small ag it is possibile for them to accept. The cotton workers have before tasted the bitternessfof an over- roduction of cotton goods. Neyer before ave their hearts been so utterty bowed down as they are to-day ,as they stand fac- ing the most desperate battle of all. A season of poverty and hunger these men and women and girls are prepared to undergo, if it meang tHat ultimately a suf- fiency of food and-comforts is to follow. But the struggle upon which they are about to enter is against fearful odds, with no such rosy promise of the final outcome. The specter that hovers over their homes is the threatened introduction of the ring- spinning frame. The present spinning machine requires amantorunit. The ring- spinning machine does not. Under the old system of ‘‘mule’’ spinning the men engaged in the mills have been certain that sooner or later their labor must again become ab- solutely necessary to the manufacturers. When the ring-spinning machines are put in, a child—a mere strip of a girl ora young woman, too. weak to fight for adequate wages, too timid to stand up for the rights that the laws were enacted to secure for her, and growing weaker still for the lack of the wholesome food that the competent wages of a husband or brother would buy— can attend them and supplant the men ‘workers altogether. The market price of cotton goods has been forced down, so that now the manufac- turers claim that they are able to get only 16.5 cents a pound for the cotton that it requires 16 84 cents a pound to manufacture. The claim of the manufacturers is that there appears in the ienmediate future no out to the workers any hope that wages will be again advanced. ‘‘The-wages will be reduced Monday next,’’ the manufac- turers have replied. There is no appeal. The situation seems almost as alarming to the mill owners and bankers who have placed large loans upon the respect of continued prosperity Im the cotton goods business as it isto the families of the work- ingmen. There are $45,000,000 invested in cotton mills in Fall River alone. There are several million of dollars in loans secured the entire amount was in of being wiped out by the utter ru‘n of the cotton goofis business in New England, There is more than the mere matter of overproduction. In the South there has sprung up an opposition to the cotton manu- facturing industry in the Narthb that ts des- tined, these capital'sts say, to shortly drive New England out of the business. What- ever the cause, the terrible effects of the impending strike are apparent and appall- ing, There are a few small accounts at the savings banks that may be called upon by the operatives; a little money in their treasunes that will support them for a few weeks or months at most. Then what is to come It biatcas little difference what the econ- omic reasons may be if there is to be no work. The fact that the remainder of the winter is to be the most trying period in the lives of the cotton spinners and weavers may be due to Southern competition or to prosperity elsewhere that enables women to wear woolen dresses, but such a state- Wr hg does not suggest any remedy, any re- ef. The Might is already felt, and few Sun- day dinners will be eaten im the ‘homes of these people where the ae sae of sorrow and oer will not be fel CARVED TO DEATH. Hight Negroes Dead as the Result of a Card Game. MIDDLESBORO, Ky., Jan. 15.—A special from Hynen says that the fight on Sandy Fork in Leslie County continued all day yesterday. Eight. men were reported killed, as follows: ‘John Williams, Doe Wilson, Bob Colwell, Tom Shelton, Peter Burrough, Mark Paine, Elias Howard and Abel Coombs, all colored.

After four men were killed hting was renewed by friends on both sais until the mortalty list is equal al- most to the casualties in a military en- gagement.

GERMANY IS STILL STUBBORN. NOTHING THAT SAVORS EVEN SLIGHTLY OF REBELLION IS OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED. ¥ ,A STUBBORN YOUNG SOLDIER. (He Has Been in Prison a Year and May Stay Two More Because of His Religion. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. BPRLIN, Jan. 15.—This is a year that will be filled with revolutionary echoes, King Humbert of.Italy gave his official ‘ganction to the th anniversary of the Sicilian rebellion, which paved the way for United Italy. He sent hig eldest son to represent him in Palermo, and also sent @ dispatch referring to the events of 1848 as “A glorious struggle of liberty.’”’ That struggle went on in France, Austria and Germany, every~ here paving the way for better government. Germany alone has not frankly recognized the worth of the brave men who died for love of country in that eventful year. In SGerlin there is a glorious monument to the soldiers who fired into the mob, but the Government takes no step to do equal honor to the citizens who faced these troops. There has been a violent altercation in the Municipal Council of Berlin regarding a monument proposed in honor of those who fell fighting in the streets of the German capital in 1848. It was preposed to place an inscription merely recording that the mon- ument was raised by the city of Berlin, but this appeared revolutionary in the eyes of the Government, for it seemed to be a condonation of the rebellion. The official ress strives in every way to degrade the mportance of this historic episode and per- haps it may succeed. We hear little'of German-African colonies nowadays, mainly because they offer no in- ducement to white settlers. It was, there- fore, with some surprise that I saw a cabi- net order to the effect that in German- East Africa alone there had been in the past year nine separate wars, entitling the participants to special d stinction. The Governor of the country is a famous } military writer and strategist, who knows Russia better than any other German of- ficer. He is destined for a better post ulti- mately, and is meanwhile enjoying sold.er practice, such as it is. Some time ago the German Minister of Foreign Affairs—Baron Von Marschall— discovered that the Berlin political poi.ce Were engaged in blackmailing operations, whose object was to drive him out of office. Baron Marscha!l is a broad, statesmanlike | man, and as such is hated by the Prussian landlord or junker class, who tolerate no One but men of feudal tastes. Baron Marschall took refuge in publicity, and the famous trial ensued in which it was shown that the Prussian secret police em- ployed forgers and perjurers in the cause of what they please to consider the inter- ests of good government, and a certain ecoundrel official narned Von Tausch was convicted by the.court of malfeasance in office and of being, therefore, unfit to hold any position of trust. holding office of the same rank and salary as he formerly enjoyed, whereas his victim, Baron Marschall, was turned out of office and sent to a vastly inferior post. There is a German soldier named Throe- ner, ‘belonging to the Ninth Company of the Kaiser Alexander Regiment, who has been Over a year under arrest, and will have a couple of vears more to serve in Spandau Fortress. The authorities admit that Throe- ner is an exemplary workman and the main support of hts mother in Alsace. Ever since being recruited, however, he has been in jail because he belongs to a Protestant sect somewhat akin to Quakers, and his conscience YTorbids him taking up arms. Bullying, cajoling and hard prison fare have all been tried in vain upon this mod- ern Luther. It seems odd that such a case is possible at such a place and in such a year. POULTNEY BIGELOW. GOOD TERMS WITH RUSSIA. Germany Hopes to Hold Her Footing on the China Coast. BERLIN, Jan. 15.—Twice during the past week Emperor William called at the Rus- sian Embassy and had long confererices with Count Von Osten Sacken, the Russian Ambassador. It ts learned on good author- ity that the conversations were solely on the far Eastern questions. The Emperor is uncertain as to Japan’s future steps in regard to China and Corea and Count Von Osten Sacken, on the strength of recent St. ae information, was able to en-- ighten His Majesty fully on the subject. The entente with Russia continues undis- turbed. The Czar in a lengthy personal letter explained to Emperor William shortly after the seizure of Port Arthur of Russia's intentions and ria and North China. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that the wihiole of the Transcaucasia, including the big province of Turkestan, will shortly be laced under the control of a Governor- eneral, probably a Russian Grand Duke, who will have gon ga unlimited military .administrative power. t is believed that by such a measure the welfare of the popu- lation of 2,000,000 inhabiting a territory separated from the Central Government b thousands of miles, can better be assured. The changed relations between China and Germany are strikingly shown in the fact that the new Chinese Ambassador, who has just arrived, is accredited to Berlin only and not to several courts, ag heretofore: and his corps of secretaries and attaches has been increased from six to 30. The existing commercial treaty with China wi)! be-retained, a an interylew with the correspondent of the Associated Press, the Ambassador Guehihnan said: “By the de sire of both countries some modifications will negotiated. Generally speaking, Germany is satisfied with the old treaty, but she desires certain improvements in regard to the admission of German iron- ware, lamps, notions, etc., while China wishes better terms in regard to the duty on teas.” - The Ambassador ta delighted with his re. ception by Baron Von Buelow, the Min- ‘ister for Foreign Affairs, which has con- firmed the statement that the relations be. tween China and Germany are excellent, notwithstanding the seizure of Kiao- au mex. he Colonial Office ts preparing a civil ree 4 ri am - 4 and th “ man Consul, Stenel, a an rgan ing a provisional cdministration.

Taylor, four years ago will shortly be mar- ried to Mr. Clark, a physician of Staten Island. | Mrs. Taylor now resides at the Waldorf- Astoria in New York City. Her mother, 'Mrs. Mary Taylor, ts visiting her relative (in St. Louis, Mrs. E. J. Glasgow, who is /quite fll. . ; | After Mortimer Taylor shocked social clir- ‘cles of this city and his wife obtained a divorce, she went to Staten Island with her mother. It was there~she met Dr. , Clark. : Taylor went away to Denver and soon after was married to a handsome Colorado woman. Mrs. Mae Taylor belongs to the old and ‘honorable family of the Kennerlys and the Glasgows. Her maiden name was Taylor, 'but she was no kin to the man she married. Mortimer was a bright young lawyer and he captivated her with his eloquence and his intellectuality. The family opposed the union bitterly, but it was of no avail. Af- _terwards Taylor had some lucky strokes of fortune and became possessed of considera- _ ble money. He dabbled a little in politics ‘as a Democrat, and although he made one ‘of the finest, cleanest speeches ever heard at the capital, the fact that it was in be- half of articles of impeachment of old Col. Elijah Gates, then State Treasurer, closed his political career. In her younger days Mrs. Taylor was con- | sidered the belle of the city. Her wea.th ‘of extremely blonde hair, her attractive ‘face and graceful figure were subjects well It is amnounced on the authority of the . | Well, painted with artistic skill, was first- e PHOTOGRAPHED IN HUNTING COSTUMB. worthy of being descanted upon. She sang Class,at handling the ribbons over spirited horses, good with the oars and the most expert woman shot in the West. Mrs. Tay- lor could handle a gun with any old hunter and once, while on a hunting expedition in New Mexico, she killed a wolf. One of the rogms in her home here was a veritable arsenal, where she repaired ev- ery day to keep in practice. It was said of her that she could shoot the center heart from a playing card on the mantel every time at a distance of 40 feet. Withal she was kindly, gentle and bright and very much in love with her intellectual husband, with whom she was prominent in society. One day it all came out that Mr. Taylor had an infatuation elsewhere, There were columns about it in the newspapers, and then poor Mrs, Taylor went reluctantly to the courts for a divorce, which was granted without contest. Mr. Taylor remained here only until his private affairs could be set- tled, and then he went West. Soon there- after the news of his second marriage was spread abroad, and now Mrs. Taylor wilil once again try the uncertain sea of matri- mony. She and her mother kept house to- gether at Staten Island for some time, but there was lack of entertainment, and so they went into the great city. Mrs. Mary Taylor, the mother; gays the gossips fixed upon the date of her daugh- ter’s marriage to Dr. Clark as being Feb. 1, but that it is incorreot, the date being yet indefinite and dependent upon Dr. Clark’s opportunities for taking a vaca- tion from his extensive practice. THEY MAY BE HEIRESSES. Two Women Trying to Prove Up Rela- tionship to Millionaires. ’ ELGIN, Ill, Jan. 15.—Mrs. A. 8S. Daveler lans regarding Manchu- | of Elein and Mrs. George Sewell of Den- | ‘ t lyer, Colo., will come into possession of a small fortune if they can prove that they are grandchildren of the late Mrs. Kiernan of New York City. Their father, Thomas Jordan, was twice married. They are children of his second wife, who was a Kiernan. Jordan lived in Chicago and afterwards In St. Louis many years ago. His second wife died and his childen were placed in a St. Louts convent After the war he could not learn their whereabouts and finally left for parts un- known. Hs is supposed to be dead. Mrs. Daveler was adopted by a family that lives near Springfield. IlL, and did not unl she was married learn that her name w@&s Jor- dan. The property @onsists of an estate at Utica, N. Y., Mrs. Sewell contends that Mrs. Daveler is her ha.f-sister and the two are not entirely itn accord in their prose- cution of proof of heirship. An uncle, Michael Jordan, was and may now be an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at Milwaukee. Mangled by a Train, HARRISBURG, Ill, Jan. (15.—Robert Baker, a young man residing at this place, went to Eldorado this morn ng, and while there got drunk. On his return he fell o the Big Four train and was horribly man- gled. He is not expected to live. Hl WAGON, Old Stove Mender Encoun- tered Footpads. HE WAS BEATEN AND ROBBED. JUMPED ON HIS WAGON AND THREW HIM OUT WHILE ON HIS WAY TO TOWN. HAD HIS MONEY IN HIS SOCK. Albert rr. Luster, the Victim, Has a Shop on Olive Street and Is Reputed to Be Very Wealthy. Albert H. Luster is 5 years old and lives alone in a little shop at 2012% Olive atreet. He works at repairing stoves, but is re- puted to be wealthy. Of late he has had more than his share of bad luck. Last night at 9:30 o’clock he was dragged from his wagon on the Clayton road and assaulted by robbers. His assa/l- ants found $6. In their haste they over- looked a roll of bills which the old man carried in his sock. Yesterday morning Luster left his shop for a skirmish in the country. He left word with one of his neighbors that he would be back about dark. He went to Ferguson and Clayton mn a wagon to repair stoves. After a successful day’s business the old man started back to the city. The return trip was without incident until he reached a point about two miles northwest of the city limits. He was jogging along at a merry pace when a.mam sprang from the roadside and grabbed the bridle of his horse. Before the old man could think what was happening, two other men jumped up on e‘ther side of his wagon. The horse had hardly stopped before one of the men dealt Luster a blow on the back of the neck. He thinks he was hit with some blunt instru- ment, probably a slungshot or a sandbag. The blow staggered him. While he was dazed two of the robbers dragged him- from the wagon and rifled his pockets. When they found only $6 they cursed their luck. The transaction occupied but a few minutes. The old man was bundle back into his wagon and was ordered to drive on in a hurry and above all things to keep quiet. As rapidly as possible the victim reached the city and gave the alarm. Last night he was out late trying to help detectives find a clew. Thg old man was unable to give the offjcers an accurate description of his assailants, Last September, while Luster was living on a farm near Clayton, he was the 3'c-~ tim of a fiendish incendiary plot. It” was known throughout the neighborhood that he slept in his wagon out in a grove near his. house. The wagon had a top, One night unknown miscreants piled hay around the wagon and burned ft. Lackily for the old man, he was not sleeping there that night. He visited the city during the day and remained over night. That is how he saved himself from cremgtion. After that incident Luster moved tto the city and established himself at 2012% Olive street. He occupies a little shop between a grocery store and a big three-story rooming house. He sleeps in the rear of the shop. Luster is not a miser, yet he is generally understood to have money. In answer to all inquiries he says he has “enough to keep him the balance of his days.’’ No- body knows exactly how much that is, HANNIBAL SHOOTING AFFRAY. Two Railroaders Mix Up and One of Them Will Die. Special to the Post-Dispatch HANNIBAL, Mo., Jan. 15.—A shooting af- fair occurred in this city at 8 o’clock to- night, which will probably result in the death of William Grimmer. Grimmer Is a ‘‘ealler’’ for the St. Louis, Keokuk & North- western road, and Jesse Magness is a fire- man on the same road. Some one had re- orted Magness for being in a@ saloon, and Re accused Grimmer of it. The two meet to-night on South Mat‘tn street, opposite the Union Depot, when an altercation took place. Magness struck at Grimmer and Grimmer struck Magness with his lantern. Magness then drew his re- volver and shot Grimmer, the ball entering just below his navel, penetrating his bowels and liver, infiicting a mortal wound. Mag- ness was immediately arrested and placed in prison. ie Several surgeons were. called and ex- amined the wound, and they saw that it will resuit fatally. Grinimer is a oer. only 19 years old. Magness has been in the em- ploy of the railroad company for a long time, He refuses to make any statement, KILLED BY AN ENGINE. Prominent Charleston Stockman Meets Death at Chicago.

Vanderbilt and the Howling Swells had a private rehearsal in Mr. Vanderbilt's very | fine house at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seo- (ond street the other night. That great | white mansion has long been dark and cold; that night it glowed with light.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Mrs. John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Ogden Mills are said to be at the head of the most exclusive organiza-. tion yet thought of ‘nm these days of ex- clusiveness, This will be a literary and artistic organization to be known. as the Tuesday Evening Club. Each Tuesday evening one of the members will play hosi- ess to the gathering, when somes topic of intellectua] import will be discussed by eminent speakers provided for the purpose. The Thursday Evening Club has ‘ong heid sway in the swell set, but, while this in- sures amusement, it also admits of a wide range of diversion during the season. It was felt that society was drifting to danc- ing and vaudeville amusements in its leisure moments. The tide must be stemmed, but how?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter scored a great social triumph and henceforth there will be none to dispute her title as queen of the swell set at the Na- tional capital. Some days ago Mrs. Leiter sent out invi- tations for a dance to be given at her home Many of these .nvitations were received by e who had already been invited to at- a ball the same night at Rauscher’s, under the auspices of the Small and Early Club, a social organization comprising in its membership most of the aristocratic element in the permanent population of Washington. Mrs. iter waited untill all the invita- tions had been issued and then she sent out invitations to her own little affair. It is unnecessary to say that everybody who was invited was at the Leiter mansion. Many of the members of the Small and Early Club abandoned their own entertain- ments in order to participate in the affair given at the Leiter home on Dupont circle. Mrs. Leiter’s entertainment so completely eclipsed the other function that it would be hardly fair to compare the two. ong the guests of Mrs. Leiter were e Br.tish Ambassador and the Misses auncefote, Mrs. Patenotre, wife of the former Ambassador from France; the Span- ish Minister and Mrs, Dupuy De Lome, the Austrian Minister and the Baroness Hen- elmuller, the Belgian Minister and the ountess De Lichtervelde, Count Vinecl of the Italiam Embassy, the Mexican Minister Mrs, Romero, Mr. De Somow, First retary of the Russian Legation, and Du First Secre Spanish Gar Free!

Special to the Post-Dispatch. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan, 15.—The mys- tery surrounding the death of W. W. Etter at Palarm, Jan. 4, will be solved. The deceaseil was manager of the S. M. Apperson place at Palarm, and lived in a house by himself. Joe Williams, a negro and. ex-convict.® roomed near him and worked on the place. This negro says he went away at 6 o'clock in the evening to celebrate New Year’s with other negroes and rema ned away until 2 o'clock tn the morning of Jan. 1. He went into Etter’s room, found that he had been struck on the side of the head, — was in a bloody and unconscious con- tion. Joe did not report the man’s condition for some time, and this, wth other circum. stances, directed susp!cion to him as the murderer, although he remained with Etter until the latter died, the following Tuesday night, and made no effort to escape. Etter was said to have had about $1000 n money. When neighbors heard of the robbery and assault they went in and found the man tn a critical condit:on. He was partly con- sclous at times, and stated that he had been struck and robbed.

Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Senator Cushman J. Davie, Chairman of the Senate Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, who-has charge of the Hawailan treaty, said to-day that it would certainly be ratified some time next week. e600n as possible. It will be pushed to a vote as The treaty ig debated behind closed doors. It seems that the friends of the meas- ure cpposed open discussion. The outlook for the ratification of the treaty is now better than it has been since the document was first submitted to the Senate. The friends of annexation have not been inactive during the weeks that the treaty has lain quiescent, but have been devoting themselves to the task of cementing the Re- publican line, which up to a recent’ time, had not been solid. As a result every Re- publican, with the solitagy exception of Senator Morrill, is certain to vote for ratifi- cation. The friends of the treaty now claim 61 votes, but a more conservative estimate gives them 58 beyond the shadow of a doubt, or two less than the required number. This 58 is composed of 42 Republicans, 3 Silver Republicans—Mantle, Cannon and Teller—} Populists—Harris, Heitfeld, Jones, Stewart and Turner; 1 Independent—Kyle; and 7 Democrats—Gorgnan, Money, Morgan, Murphy, Pettus, Rawlins and Turpie. The lat- ter desires an amendment to the treaty and will secure it. There are four doubtful Senators—Kenney, Roach, Smith and Mitchell, all Democrats, and it is said that three of this quartet will finally be found on the affirmative side, making a total of 61. The latest poll of the Senate ig given above. It would not be surprising if two of the Democrats now placed in the negative column eventually decided to vote for the treaty. The opposition is determined and persistent, and all predictions which assert a speedy vote are likely not to be realized. Senators Gray, White and Pettigrew, who lead the anti-annexation forces, are all resourceful and energetic fighters, and will not be content to relinquish the battle even after it eeems3 certain that they are de- feated. annexation declare they The coming of President Dole to Wastsingioh was unlooked for. The friends of hope to pass the tréaty before he gets here. The President is trying very hard to secure ratification. He is the more anxious that the Senate shall ratify the treaty because he ‘has learned that if resort to a joint resolution or bill should become necessary there is danger of its defeat in the House of Representatives. Speaker Reed’s opposition to annexation is a good deal more active than anyone had supposed it would be, and a considerable number of Re- publicans who would otherwise favor acquisition of Hawali are now turning against it. who are close to the Speaker. If the treaty fails in the Senate and resort It is noteworthy that this is true, more especially among Republican members to a direct legislative act becomes necessary there is no doubt that the Senate will pass such.a measure by a good ma- jority. But when it reaches the House a motion will be made to amend it so as to provide an American protectorate over Hawaii. This is Speaker Reed’s latest idea, and a number of House Republicans have imbibed it from him. THE HAWAIIAN TREATY. Complete Text of the Agreement with \ the United States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The first Ha- waian treaty was laid before the Senate by President Harrison Feb. 15, 1893, just before the close of his term of office. It was not ected upon, and was withdrawn by Pres- ident Cleveland soon after he came into of- fice. The present treaty was presented to the Senate by President (McKinley June 16, 1897. Following is the complete text: The United States of America and the Re- public of Hawail, _n view of the natural de- endence of the Hawaiian Islands upon the Inited States, of their geographical prox- imity thereto, of the preponderant share ac- Quired by the United States and its citizens in the Industries and trade .! said islands, and of the expressed desire of the Govern- ment of the Republic of Hawail that those islands should be incorporated into the United States as an integral part thereof and under its sovereignty, have determined to accomplish by treaty an object so im- ortant to their mutual and permanent wel- are, To ths end the high contracting par- ties have conferred full hy od and auihori- ty upon their respectively appointed pleni- Otentiaries, to-wit: The President of the Inited States.

ISLANDS AND PEOPLE. Recent Events in the History of the Hawaiian Group. The Hawaiian Islands are eight in num- ber—Hawali, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Maul, Mo- lakail, Oalu, Kauai and Nilhau. The group lies in the Pacific Ocean, about 2000 miles from San Francisco. They have a total area of about 6740 square m_les—equal to about one-tenth of the area of Missouri. At the last census, taken five years ago, the population numbered 90,000, about 15,000 of this number being Americans and Eurv- eans. The Japanese outnumber all other ce oem there being 24,000 of that na- tionality on the islands, The ch ef industry is sugar and coffee cultivation. The exports and imports in 18% amounted to $14,188,- 155.69, and of this eum §$12,908,508.92 was done with the United States. Honolulu is the ates and chief c'ty. It has a population of §,000.

Following is a brief history of the part the United States has played in Hawaiian affairs: Queen Liiiuokalani, who is now in this country, was deposed on Jan, 3, 1893. as she claims through the co-operation of the United States Minister and marines of the American cruiser Boston, under command of Capt. Wise, then in the port of Honolulu. On the next day a proclamation was issued by the Provisional Government which was established on the ruins of monarchy, cre- ating a republic. On Feb. 1, Minister Ste- vens declared the néw government under the protection of the United States, by rais- ing the Stars and stripes over the public buildings _at Honolulu, and the reading of & proclamation. Th:s act, Mr. Stevens claims, was done by request of the Provis- ional Government, which felt itself unable to stand alone, and desired annexation to the United States. On Feb. 3 Hawaiian an- nexation commissioners, sent out by the protected republic, arrived in Washington and laid a request for annexation before Mr. Foster, Secretary of State. Two weeks later, on the 16th, President Harrison sent a snecial message to the Senate favoring the annexation of the islands, accompanied by a copy of the pro- posed treaty with the Hawalian Provisional) Government for ratificat.on. No action was taken by the Senate, and on March 4 Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated. One of his first Official acts, on March 9, was to send a special message to the Senate recalling the treaty submitted by the Harrison adminis- tration, and on March 18 ex-Congressman Blount of Georgia was sent to Hawaii as Mr. Cleveland’s spec'al commissioner to in- vestigate the true condition of affairs there and report to the President. Mr. Blount arrived in Hawail on March 27. On the 5th of April, by his order, the United States flag was hauled down from the pub- lic build ngs and the marines from the cruiser Boston, who had been doing duty on shore as guards for the Provisional Gov. ernment, were ordered back to their ship The protectorate established by Minister Stevens was revoked and M. Stevens left Hawali. Having concluded h‘s investiga- tions, Mr. Blount returned to Washington and Mr. Albert S. Willis of Kentucky was appointed by President Cleveland as Min- ister to Hawail. The next step in the Ha. wa-ian question was the letter of Secretary of State Gresham to President Cleveland in effect recommending the intervention of the United States Government to restore Queen Lilioukalan! to the throne of Hawai! The next important action was the sending of a new comm’ssion from*Havraii to Wash- ington, and the negotiation of the present treaty, and !ts ratification by the Hawaiian Government, BERLIN EXPOSITION.

OPERATION OF THE METALLIO CIRCUIT BEGAN AT 2 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. THERE WAS NOT A HITCH. | As the Clock Struck There Was a Change From the Old to a Better Service. “Now will you use your old telephone?” If you do you'll be lonesome. There won't be anybody to talk to at the other end of the wire That nice new ‘phone in your office was put in commission at 2 o’clock this morning. The changing of the service in the business district of the Bell Telephone Co, from the overhead to the underground system was| made. without a hitch. The work that had been going forward for months had been done so well that when the time for its con- summation came everything moved wiih admirable smoothness, As the clock etruck 2 the center of the system shifted from Fourth and Pine streets to Tenth and Olive. Eight operators took their places at the ewitchboard in the new ceniral office on the top floor of the Telephone puienne It was the dullest hour of the &, the dul est day of the week and there were not cails enough to cause confusion. The operatora at the old exchange re- mained at their posts to inform subscribers using the oid Mnes that the new ‘phones had been placed in service, In all 3,100 telephones were placed on the metallic circuit. This includes all instru- ments in the business portion of the city. Those in the residence section will continue to be Fs tenes under the old system until all of the wires are underground. The equipment of the new central office fs marvelous in intricacy and detail. From the front the great switchboard, extending elghty feet along the west side of the room, is pretty to look at, It is only when one goes behind the scenes that he realizes what it all means. In hat room and a smaller one adjoining there are 3,030 miles of wire, and you can’t see an inch of it from “in front.”’ Of this wire 1,000 miles is concealed behind and beneath the beauti- fully finished hardwood exterior of the switchboard, all in a space eighty feet long and less than five feet wide. The other 2000 miles are in the emailer rooms in the relay and distributing boards. If all of this wire were strung in a single strand it would reach to San Francisco and half way back to £t. Louis. The operator under the new system will have use for both ‘her «yes and ears. The girl that can dhew gum and hold Oe ae in the new exchange will be a wonder. is is how the new operator will connect two lines when you call up: Theinstant you take the receiver from the hook a tiny electric lamp, that looks like a pearl push button when not In use,will light up on the switchboard in fromt of the opera- tor. The number besides the lamp will show wiro you are. She putsa plug in a hole un- der the little lamp and your Ught goes out. At that instant another lamp, one of @ wir on the table in front of the operator, fiehte, She asks you, ‘“‘What number?” She puts a plug where it will the most good and the other lamp of the pair on the table is iNuminated. ‘nhs shows that you are connected with the number you called for. When you are through talking you put your phone back on the hook. ne of the pair of Nights goes out. The man at the other end does likewise and the other lit- tle lamp takes a reeset. Then the operator knows you are both through talking and she pulla the plug from the hole opposite your number. t looks complicate: on paper, but the management ‘lieves the work of the opera‘ora will be lighter than under the old system. Sill they are not taking any chances. Until the force fa familiar with the system the force of operatora will be ~~ w lian vuaual.

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A NEW AND SAFE METHOD. A Remarkable Number‘of Cures Made Bb, the Pyramid File Cure. About one person in every four suffere from some form of rectal disease. The most common and annoying is itching piles, indicated by warmth, slight mois- ture and intense, uncontrollable itching mm the parts affected. The usual treatment has been some sim- ple ointment or salve which sometimes give temporary relief, but nothing lke a permanent cure can.be expected from such superficial treatment. The only permanent cure for itching pikes yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for itching piles, but for every other form of piles, blind, bleeding ot protruding. The first application gives instant relief and the continued use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the intense itching and discomfort of itching piles. Many physicians for a long time sup- posed that the remarkable rclief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was supposed to contain cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but such is not the case, A recent carelul analysis of the remedy showed it to be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.

Congress is called upon to pay out the sum of $478,151.26 for-losses sustained by British sub- jects through the seizure of their sealing ves- sels in Bering Sea. To this payment for actual damages must be *added enormous expense accounts for policing Bering Sea to prevent pelagic sealing. All of this money has’ been expended for the purpose of protecting a monopoly in the sealing business. But the zealous care of the seal monopoly by the United States is not limited to costly ma- rine policing of the seal haunts, but has taken the form of a policing of the ports of entry in the United States. All seal garments must be registered as not made of furs obtained by pe- lagic sealing or be subject to seizure. The seal muffs and coats of the wives of American citi- zens, who fail to register the garments, are seized if the owners attempt to bring them into the country. Seizures are being made daily by customs officers. Police duty in the interest of a favored mo- nopoly cannot be carried beyond this extreme. The United States Government has got down low in the service of monopoly when it subjects Americans to such petty and outrageous tyranny for the benefit of monopolists. Will Americans be forced to repeat the tea- dumping act as a protest against taxation and police duty in the interest of monopoly on the part of the Government at Washington? eeecee socces cess 40h Sere eee eee eer eee eeeee PPTITTITITITI TTT TTT | Since Dr. Schlatter ‘of Zurich, Switzerland, succeeded in removing the stomach of a woman without fatal consequences two similar opera- tions have been tried in this country—one in St. Louis and one in Milwaukee.

It is to be hoped that the learned British and American scholars who are completing another version of the Bible will be satisfied with the joy of their werk and the praise of biblical critics. : It is not likely that they will find other re- ward, It is certain that they will never see their version supplant the King James version as the Bible of the Protestant pulpit and peo- ple of English speaking races. New versions of the Bible are interesting cu- riosities. They may serve to give the critical student new light on the meaning of original words and phrases. They may be excellent com- mentaries on the Bible. But take the place of the old Bible—never! The old Bible is firm in both the minds and the affections of English speaking people. They are bound tto it by the strongest spiritual ties a wetiedn and literature. It is the source of their religion and an indissoluble part of their literature, woven into the warp and woof of all English literature written since it was writ- ten. It is bone of their bone anda flesh of their flesh. It is a fountain of pure and undefiled English, refreshing and inspiring alike to bab- bling childhood and mumbling age. It is linked with the tenderest sentiments, the sweetest as- sociations and the dearest relations of human ‘life—birth, marriage, death. If the King James version were wholly dis- | sociated from religion it would stand as a mode] of literature, so perfect in its honesty, simplicity and beauty of diction that it would be sacri- legious to change a word. The new version may ‘ ornament the shelves of scholars, but the old Bible will stay in the hands of the Bible readers. a a > ew The masses would rather see unscrupulous corporation lawyers on the stool of repentance than on the bench. —— —— + ¢ @— — —_—_— CO-OPERATION’S PROGRESS. At the end of fifty years co-operative distri- bution has made such wonderful advancement in Europe that it is beginning to attract world- wide attention. The Rochdale Pioneers started in 1844 with a capital of $140 and a little store that was the ridicule of the neighborhood. Now there are 1695 co-operative stores in Great Britain, with a chanics in their factories and the shopmen in their stores bear to the societies? Is the rela- tion merely what has been called the “cash 'nexus?” If so, it has simply changed the num- | ber of employers from a few to a multitude. | True co-operation will include the worker, not merely as a consumer, but as the producer of the wealth to be distributed. ‘= = * ~~ | When the railroads make it a standing rule | that all unused or partly used railway tickets ‘will be redeemed at any ticket office of the rail- /road issuing the ticket, the worst feature of the ticket scalping business will be knocked out without a special law. The redemption of un- /used railway tickets should be the basis of all legislation concerning ticket scalping, Li i et THE AUTONOMY FARCE. The basis of Spain’s appeal to the United States for longer time in which to settle the insurrection in Cuba was the plan of autonomy to be offered the Cubans by Gen. Blanco, On behalf of the insurgent Cubans, Gen. Go- mez gave an unqualified refusal of autonomy or |of any plan of government which involved the continuation of Spanish sovereignty on the is- land. That Gomez voiced’ the sentiment of the insurgents in declaring that they would accept nothing but independence is ehown by the ab- sence of a single protest on the part of any of his followers. In the news of the anti-autonomy riots in Ha- vana is the indubitable proof that the- Spanish royalists in Cuba are as much opposed to au- tonomy as the Cuban insurgents. The Spanish merchants who are the most ardent defenders of Spanish rule and who supply and control the volunteers, are wrecking autonomist newspa- pers and are shouting, ‘Down with autonomy!” When autonomy was proposed its failure was a foregone conclusion. It was evident that the proposal could not be successfully carried out and was a mere scheme to gain time. Now Spain's own supporters in Cuba have ex- posed the farce. Their greed, which was an insuperable obstacle to Cuban home rule, has proved too strong to sustain the autonomy pre- tense. Why should the Unitted States longer consent to be a party to an inhuman farce which but prolongs the misery of a people and dooms thou- sands to death? ——— . == — Se The grain and cotton producing States have a great interest in Mississippi River transporta- tion.

These co-operative societies have formed . federations and become wholesalers, with a fleet of eight steamers of their own. Besides this, they have successfully undertaken production in various branches of Industry, and have sev- eral splendid factories running which supply many of the goods the stores deal in. As all this has been done by workmen for ‘workmen, the question whether workmen can guccessfully manage industrial and commer- cial enterprises and handle large capital ap- pears to be settled.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The Rev. Charles 8. Rob- inson, D. D., pastor of the Church of the Puritans, in Harlem, is the possessor of a mummy head. He firmly believes it to be that of Menephtar, the “Pharaoh of the Exodus,’ who. according to tra- dition, renounced the authority of the God of Israel, acknowledged by the earlier Pharaohs, and inaugurated a System of Polytheism, embracing the famous worship of sacred animals, which was firmly established in Egypt. Prof. Wilson, the American photographer,” said Dr. Robinson, ‘“‘was taking pictures around the Deir-El-Bahari Ampitheater, when he noticed mys- terious actions by an Arab, whose cloak seemed to bulge out as if he were hiding something. The Arab strolled up to the photograher, saying: Mummee, mummee.’ He drew the head of Men- ephtar from under his cloak and offered it for sale. After some dickering Prof. Wilson purchased it for the sum of $5 and transferred it to me.”’ Dr. Robinson keeps it in an old hat box wrapped up in a brightly colored piece of cloth, which was around it when it was bought from the Arab. “In all probability you are gazing on the head of the Pharaoh of the Ten Plagues,”’ said Dr. Rob- inson, “and if so those are the lips from which came the famous question: ‘Who is Jehovah that . obey him?’ He probably knows now who e is.’’ The mummy head is Ha remarkably good state of preservation. The chin is firm and resolute and the cheek bones high. If appearances count for anything, this mummy is that of no common HB7zyp- tian, but a ruler of that nation. Menephtar was the thirteenth son of Rameses. According to tradition, Ramewses lived to be nearly 100 years old and married three times. The whole number of his children is believed to have been 170, of whom 11l were sons and 59 daughters, NEW FRENCH AMBASSADOR.

C., Jan: 15.—Secretary of the Navy Long sent a recommendation to Congress to- day for an appropriation of $50,000 for improve- ments in the battery of the cruiser Chicago, and accompanying it is a strong report of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, in which he points out some weaknesses of the navy. Mr. Roosevelt says the Chicago is being rebuilt at a cost cons:derably greater than was her original contract price, and says the department will be inexcusable if it turns out a new ship with old defective guns for her main battery, It will be expensive to put four new guns aboard the Chicago, but no more than 6 per cent of the total expenditure on repairs. He says: “In the event of war, if any disaster happened to one of our ships owing to her possessing an an- tiquated battery, a heavy responsibility will rest on the Navy Department for failing to ask for means to meet its needs. “T earnestly wish we could as s0on as possible withdraw from active service the cruisers fitted with slow fire guns and substitute ehips with rapid fire batteries. “At present the real fighting efficiency of ships like the Raleigh, Cincinnati, Marblehead, Mont- gomery and Olympia compared: with foreign ves- sels of the same nominal class stands high, while the reverse is the case of ships like the Baltimore, San Francisco and Yorktown. “T have just been talking with Capt. Cotton, who commanded the Philadelphia when she lay side by side of the Japanese crulser Naniwa, at Hawaii.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. BUZZARD’S BAY, Jan. 13.—Gray Gables, the summer home of ex-President Cleveland, has been visited by burglars, who ransacked the house from attic to cellar and made good their escape without leaving the slightest clew to their identity. They got nothing of value except some good old wine. In the anne room, it would appear from the disordered condition of the furnishing, the crooks made as thorough a search for plunder as aie part of the house, and that they expected to make a rich haul of china and silverware seems ceftain. In the sitting room the furniture and belongings were thrown about the floor and piled in great dis- order. Everything in this room was upset and the condition of the room warranted the belief that being disappointed in not finding the room fur- nished with rare and costly bric-a-brac, the bur- giars just threw things about for spite. In all the rooms on the first floor similar conditions ex- ‘ated. Upstairs the beds and bedding were scattered about the rooms and a thorough search had been made in quest of valuables.

Their Increasing Popularity Causes Much Dis- content Among the English. Special Cable fo the Post-Dispaich. Copyright by the I'ress 1898. LONDON, Jan. 15.—George Alexander's promised production of Paul Potter's “Conquerors” has pro- voked a fierce attack from Robert Buchanan, who has himeelf frequently come into conflict with the English censor, owing to the daring incursions into forbidden ground. “Buchanan compia ns: “Not long ago a play of mine, ‘The New Don Quixote,’ was refused a license on the score that it was immoral. ‘1 protested, and after a second appeal and some important changes my plece was licensed and copyrighted. My piece, for which I claim perfect, even austere morality, will surely be printed, if not presented, and I shall publicly ask the Lord Chamberlain under what influence he condemned my innocent work and afterward stamped his approval on a piece containing the most bestial and revolting incidents ever presented on our or any etage.”’ American actors and actresses are filling a large space one way or another now on the London stage. Three principal parts in the Lyceum piece are allotted to three American players—Robert Ta- bor, Ethel Barrymore and Miss Rockman. Irving's unique populartty and tinfiuence in the profession have prevented any open criticism of his apparent preference for American artists, but there is much grumbling in theatrical circles that he should set such a dangerous example. Mr. Ta- bor has scored a decided success in the most dif- ficult and exacting part of Alexts in ‘Peter the Great,”’’ while the pathos, dignity and artistic fin- ish of Miss Rockman’s Eudoxia have made instant mark, Fay Davis and young Henry Irvi appropriate the acting honors in ‘‘Tree of Knowledge” at the St James, while Mr. Calvert takes second leading part in Tree’s revival of “Julius Caesar’ next Sat- urday, and Mrs. Brown Potter is to reappear at the Duke of York’s Theater next week in ‘Charlotte Corday.” ‘This invasion of American players, a majority of whom have evidently come to stay, naturally is not relished by their English col- leagues, who are already complaining of the con- gested state of the profession and an increasing difficulty of securing engagements. GALLANT YOUNG CHURCHILL. The Lieutenant Distinguished Himself by Bravery in India but Offended His Superiors by Criticisms. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1808. LONDON, Jan. 15.—Lady Randolph Churchill's (Mrs. Hammersley of New York) extremely clever acting and singing before the royal party during the Chatsworth visit are sti a prominent topic of gossip in society. Her voice is especially praised and she is overwhelmed with invitations to repeat the performance by which royalty was so greatly fetched. She is, however, prouder just now of the mention in dispatches from the Indian frontier of the courage and resolution of her son, Lieut. Wins- ton Churchill. He was following the operations in a civil capacity as the corre ndent of the Lon- don Daily Telegraph and Indian Pioneer, but at a critical momené e tendered bis services to the eneral commanding and acquitted himself with dis inction in action. Still ‘this criticisms of the con- duct and operations, published in the Ptoneer of Aliahabad, afforded the first authoritative inde pendent revelation of the egregious blunders in the conduct of the campaign. These disclosures brought him into conflict with the military authori- ties at the front ard he was directed to reioin bis regiment, the l4th Hussars,which he has now done. His intrepidity in scoring his military superiors they call by a different name, but his statements have been amply corroborated. Young Churchill is clearly endowed with all his father’s pugnacious BRITISH HEIRESSES. A Larger Numter Than Usual of Wealthy Young Woman Will Enter the Social Swim This Season.

Lady Cromartie, who, in addition to a great fortune, ts a peeress in her own right, and can transmit her title to a son or daughter, even though she may marry a commoner, and Lady Margaret Cricaton Stuart, the only daughter of.the mu'ti-milligratre Marquis of Bute, will also make their fir&t ap- pearance in the social throng. A “BILLEE TAYLOR” ROMANCE. Lady Earnestine Bruce Marries a Young Skipper From Limerick. ’ Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. LONDON, Jan. 15.—Lady Ernestine Bruce, daugh- ter of the Marquis of Allesbury, is the heroine of the latest romance in the BPnglish peerage. Some time since she startled the offtcials of the Board of Trade by presenting herself for examination for a master’s certificate, She is an accomplished yechts- woman. The Board of Trade ruled, however, that no woman is eligible for a master’s certificate. She has now provided a further sensation by quietly marrying at Liverpoo! a young Irishman named Harry Brady Hunt, whose acquaintance she made while studying for her nautical examination. He comes of a good Limerick famfly and was an ap- prentice to a seagoing life. He has been appointed captain of a large sailing #hip and Lady Ernestine is accompanying him on his voyage. She is a first cousin of the notorious Marquis of Alflesbury, who married Dolly Tester, and whose chief ambition was to be mistaken for a s ae cabby, whose style of attire he faithfully FAY TEMPLETON’S $100,000.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Fay Templeton, the ac- tress, will get the $100,000 bequeathed to her by the will of Howell Osborne, clubman and broker, eup- posed, but never proved, to be her husband. The Supreme Court has decided the will must stand, and the will is admitted to probate. The will of borne’s father had left a large in- come to him, but in such a way that it became im- possible to make any marriage to Miss Templeton public. His mother’s death had Increased this in- come very largely, but had strengthened the ob- structions to a recognition of an actress wife. Three years ago, after they had returned to New York to live, he died. His aunt determined to con- test the will, which enriched Fay, and her counsel! took stéps to prevent any litigation. His eltent signed her name to legal documents as “Fay Tem- peton Osborne.”’ She deserted Excelsior, Jr., about a year ago and went to Europe, presumahiv with an Albany, N., Y., young man.

LONDON, Jan. 15.—The war on the Indian fron- tier against the Afridis is at an end, at least so said Field Marshal Lord Roberts to-day. 2 has been a costly episode in which few Afridis and many English lives have been sacrificed. The tribes who now give up the fight do so British troops have conclusively shown their ca- pacity to, at least, destroy next year’s crops. many, meanwhile, has triumphed at emall over the whole of China by se! an harbor, which she will fortify at once.

LONDON, Jan. 15.—Temporarily overshadowed, the movements of the French on the Upper Nile are again ‘becoming unpleasant!y prominent te those who imagine that Great Britain had undis- puted claims upon those regions. It is immaterial to discuss the exact whereabouts of the French expeditions. I[t suffices that, ac- cording to the bulk of evidenve, they have ne- trated to Bahr-Ghazal, the most fertile prov nce of the Egyptian Soudan, with the distinct mandate of their government. If this ‘s true, and the declarations of successive British cabinets mean anything, M. Hanotaux has vreught about a causus belli. us far M.

There was only one rac.ng point in the West last summer where the lay warranted the presence of 15 books. he time was short when St. Louis had use for 15 odds-layers, and Cincinnati never had. Memphis accommodated 15, but Mem- phis gives but one short, sharp meeting of three weeks’ duration at the outset of the season, when the contributing forces are fresh and v gorous.”’ The racing game at Frisco is also better than even it was and no less than forty books drew on there yesterday. ™~ Col.

The Colonel says: “The West has dem- onstrated it can get along well enough without the assistance of the t, but certain complications and circumstances have come up that throw difficulties in the way of the sport. That is why I eay that tne governing bodies should get together and have a complete and perfect under- standing on all vital points, such as laits of authority, and enter into a reasonable compact as to rules and territory.”’ George Cochrane, son of Jake Cochrane, the well-known St. Louis owner and a steeplechase rider of national reputation, has secured a stable of four younseters that he thinks will be prominent on the turf next season. Two of them, a colt and a filly, are by Sir Modred, and two cults are by Bob Miles. They are well entered in the ear.y events of the Southern circuit and give promise of being good ones. Joe Martin will soon take another run down to Little Rock. He will have charge of that meeting.

EVERY ARTICLE IN THE STORE GOING AT A CUT SALE PRICE. Daniel Prasser, 70 years old, died at his home, 3723 Oak Hill road, early yesterday morning. Deputy Coroner Gast made a return to the Coroner of homicide, The old man, ill three weeks, died without medical attention. That is how the cas» happened to be reported to the Coroner. ‘Yen years ago Prasser had $5,000 depos- ited in a Chicago savings bank, Although he was then 60 years old, he married a handsome woman, 35 years his junior, But the bank broke, and his savings ‘were drawn a sober breath in years until they had taken this treatment; well again and with no desire whatever for strong drink. Over three hundred pa- tients have come under its powerful influences, and not a failure is marked against it when the patient continued the treatment. It is safe to say that about nine out of ten have tried to relapse in their old habits, but they found it utterly impo$- sible to do so. The treatment is entirely different from all other so-called “cures,” and it is one that has stood atest of three years without a single failure. The remedy is administered hypoder- mically and free from all publicity. Pa- tients may be treated privately at their homes or at their boarding-places, pro- viding they are in the city. It is not necessary to go into an institution where your weakness is published to the world.

STOLE A GROCER’S WAGON. ‘The Vehicle Recovered, but $10 Worth of Goods Was Missing. R. T. Mahaffey, a grocer at Twenty-third , and Market streets, was minus his horse and delivery wagon a few hours yesterday morning. He recovered the horse and wagon in the afternoon, but the $10 worth of groceries in the wagon when it disap- peared was gone. Mr. Mahaffey says it was @ clear case of robbery. While his driver was delivering an order of groceries at 2215 Locust street, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the rig was driven off. The driver returned to the store on foot, and told Mr. Mahaffey of the matter, and he reported it to the police, Nothing was heard of the missing outfit until] 3:80 o'clock In the afternoon when four boys drove up to the store in the wagon, They faid they found it In an alley near Twen- nes gma Howard streets, A woman told them theewig had been standing in.the alley for two or three hours, and advised them to drive it to its owner. Abe Meyers’ Loud Birthday. Abe Meyers celebrated his seventeenth Mirthday by tiring off a 38-caliber revolver. Jie frightened all the small boys in the vicinity of his home at 88 Carr street. He fired at such targets as chickens, to caution her aged and helpless husband to lock himself in the house while she was away, Dec, 29 Mrs. Prasser was away on-one of these trips. At 10 o’clock in the morning a peddler climbed the ten steps leading up to the house. He carried a basket, filled with notions, He was 6 years of age and quite gray, although he was strong and his fig- ure was straight. He climhed the steps and knocked at the Prassers front door. It was opened by the old man. The peddler tried to sell him some goods, but to no avail. When the peddler finally became con- vinced that he could make no sale, he tried to borrow 5 cents from Prasser. Then the peddler demanded it. .He seized the old man as if to go through his pockets. Prasser resisted. The two clinched. The peddler was the stronger. He threw the aged paralytic down the steps and his vic- tim fell on his back on the brick landing, Mrs, Stevens, who lives across the street from the Prassers, saw the assault. When Mrs. Prasser returned home that afternoon she found her husband at the foot of the front steps. His back-was hurt, and he couldn’t move. The wife picked him up and carried him into the house. Mr. Prasser was put to bed, and he was never able to get up. He complained in- cessantly of his back. His wife thought his injuries were not serious, and did not call a physician. Frequently before his death he described the peddler. The body was removed to the Morgue Sat- urday afternoon. The mounted police and the detectives are look'ng for the peddler. They have a good description of him. MRS. CIRODE ANNOYED, Her Christmas Tree Was Not De- stroyed by Jefferson Club Members. Mrs, Lettie Palmer Clrode of 208 North Ewing avenue is much annoyed over the publication in an evening paper to the effect that she has presented a bill to the Jefferson Club for the alleged destruction of a children’s Christmas tree by members of that organization. In a communication to Vice-President Folk she denounces the story as pure fabrication. On Dec. 81, Mrs. Cirode Ganoing classes, entertained her young pu- — at the Jefferson Club. A gorgeously ecorated Christmas tree was a feature of the occasion. At the close of the festivities Mrs. Clirode authorized Janitor Adams to dispose of the tree ag he saw fit. The re- port states that members assembled at the club the following evening, indulged in a disgraceful orgie and stripped the tree, be ch was left, standing, of its decora- ons.

Two nights he remained away from camp. He was at his home both nights, but of course excuses were not acceptable nor accepted in those troublous times. He was court martialed and mercy was re- fused him. Dismissal from the army was the stern penalty. It has always been a thorn in his flesh, this dismissal in disgrace, and now an ef- fort is to be made to rehabilitate his army record. Congressman Bartholdt has in- troduced a bill for the relief of Henry Troll, which provides that he shall be giv- en an honorable discharge. The bill is recommended by Nelson Cole, who was Colonel of the regiment in which Troll served, and who is the best judge of wheth- er or not the severity of the sentence was deserved. HAGAN OPERA HOUSE SUED. Proprietors of ths “Castle Circuit” Want $10,000 Damages. Attorneys Taylor R. Young and W. H. Reynolds for Charles E. Kohl and George Castle of Chicago, filed suit for $10,000 dam- ages yesterday afternoon against the Hagan Opera House. he plaintiffs make a business of booking traveling comb‘nations usually presented on vaudeville stages, and as such claim to have entered into a contract with the de- eepsant to furnish performers. hey allege that they performed their part of the agreement from Dec. 7, 189, to May 80, 1897, when the season closed. On July 6, 1897, it is alleged, Messrs. Kohl and Castle wrote the Hegan Opera House, asking the date of the fall opening. They blaim neither this nor subsequent communications were answered, greatly in- conveniencing them and damaging their business to the amount prayed for. The plaintiffs, with George Middleton, own the Chicago opera house, the Olympic and Haymarket theaters, in Chicago. Messrs. Kohl and Castle operate what {es known in the theatrical world as the “Castle Circuit,”’ booking attractions for a number of theaters through the houses owned by them. IN LOVE WITH A CLERK Thomas Conroy Ordered From a Store and Threw a Brick. Thomas Conroy of Sixth and Morgan etreets is under arrest on the charge of as- gaulting Louis C. Thompson of 603 Market etreet. Behind this commonplace police charge is a story of love. Thompson is the proprietor of a store and has in his employ several young women. He alleges that Conroy has been paying atten- tion to one of them, contrary to his permis- sion. On this accounta feud was aroused. Saturday afiernoon, according to the po- lice allegations, Conroy called at Thomp- son’s store and threw a brick at the store- keeper. The missile took effect on the right side of Thompson's face and made a pain- ful wound. He complained to the police and Conroy's arrest followed. Thompson and Conroy are equal in point of gallantry and both refused to give the name of the young woman who is involved in the diffi- culty. Thompson claims that he ordered Conroy away in a peaceable manner and that he violently refused to heed the re- quest, CITY NEWS. PIANO BUYERS’ OPPORTUNITY.

Interesting Hxperience of an Indianap- olis Gentleman. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies; the real seat of the mis- chief is lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to be looked aiter. ervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregu- lar; in others the kidneys are affected: in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumula- tion of gas, sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows: “A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart’s Dyspep- sia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years: have used various patent medicines an other remedies without any favorable re- sult. They sometimes gave temporary continued during the coming week. It was the intention to close it last night, but the ladies of the league were so delighted with the success of the opening week that they felt interest in the pictures would justify a continuance, The pictures are among the finest ever shown in St. Louis. The collection numbers 192 paintings of all schools, formerly the property of George Spiridon, a famous Eu- ropean expert, formerly connected with the Vatican Museum. The exhibitor is his son, Ludovic de B. Spiridon, who is giving the collection his personal supervision. Weil known society women have been in daily at- tendance and the afternoon teas given in the rooms from 4 to 6 o’clock have been de- lightful successes from a social standpoint. ong the paintings are gems by the most famous Puropean artists. *D’Aubigny, the leader of the Barbizon schoo), is repre- sented by his famous masterpiece, ‘“‘Spring- time.’’ Coret of the same school is repre- sented by three of his best landscapes. A picture that never fails to attract atten- tion is Jose Frappa’s “Cardinal’s Banquet.”’ The artist considered this canvas his high- est achievement, and it has been accepted as such by competent critics. Lucio Rossi's ‘‘Reception at the Doge's Palace” is a wonderful combination of light and shade and_rich color which never tires the eye, It is a revelation in the possibility of the use of perspective for the attain- ment of artistic effect. The guests are seen descending a long staircase. Whatever po- sition the observer takes, the figures are in the center of his range of vision and the staircase leads straight toward him. There is a Michel in the collection, a won- derful bit of landscape work called ‘““Wind- mills.” Michel never signed his pictures. He gald there would never be but one Michel and his pictures would be bought, not for the name upon t)gm, but for their merit. Time has proven the truth of his prediction. There are several examples of the work of Verboeckhoven, the great Belgian anima] painter. udovic Spiridon, the exhuipitor, and his brother Ignace are represented by @ number of painungs. Mrs. Spiridon is a charming little Ameri- ean. She will give a reception to the ladies of the Wednesday Club and the St. Louis Art League at the exhibition rooms next Thursday afternoon. KILLED AT UNION STATION. Baggageman’s Life Crushed Out by Car Wheels. Lester Pvans’ life was ground out under the wheels of a baggage car in the center of the big train shed at Union Station late yesterday afternoon. He was a baggage handler and lived with his wife and four children at 21382 Walnut street. He had distributed a truck load of trunks among trains in various parts of the sta- tion. The last one was for the Frisco ex. ress, which left at 5:3. He wheeled the ruck alongside the baggage car and put the trunk on his shoulder. As he was placing it in the car the train started.

AN you imagine a successful love drama without a woman in the cast? A play redolent with the e@eweetness of the Eternal Feminine, sur- charged with the softest sentiment, planned to thrill the human heartstrings ‘in unison with-the ceaseless cadence of the song that’s never old; a play that centers in a woman that loves and Is be- loved, whose name is #poken tenderly, whose influence is the moving force of the persons on the stage, and who, de- epite all thie, is kept out of sight of the audience. . This is the newest Grama. Its exponent Ys a St. Loulsan, strangely enough a Member of a Roman Catholic order. That the end of the century should bring us a womanless drama is but little more wonderful than that a man of his calling geek the drama as a literary medium, but then Brother Ambrose is a wonder- ful little man. He is a classicist, poet ‘and educator. His literary work during the years he has been a member of the faculty of the Christian Brothers’ Col- lege has brought him more than passing ‘fame. Within the week two of Brother Am- brose’s plays were produced at the Olym- pic Theater tp St. Louis. “Basilio, the ‘Old Toreador,” and “T. V. Trevelyan, Artist.” The members of the cast were atuderts.of the Christian Brothers’ Col- lege, trained by the reverend playwright. Brother Ambrose is 6 feet 4 inches in iheight. He is slight of build, but not at- ‘tenuated. In looking at him one feels that good living would make him fat if he Wid not work so hard. His head is )round and droad between the temples and high above the ears. His forehead is prominent and rounding. Hie eyes are Diack and large and have a liquid soft- Rees not usually found in those of an ecolesiastic. His ears are small, well- formed end closely set. His complexion shades from a ruddy glow beneath the ¢yes to a bluish tinge on the cheeks and ‘@hin that shows the necessity for fre- ‘@uent use of the lit‘ie Brother's razor. Phe mouth is small, tut mobile. The teeth ./ Baldness is stealing « as ‘this ch and play- Sri oSc os Tegies ae , a eT ee a byte aie Ace elma aise fe ry &, f eT ES EO 5 aang aaa ne ¥ chin are unmistakably so. The nose is long and narrow and the chin pointed. It is only when you view him at closer range that you bégin to understand how this queer man whose life is passed al- most in cloistered seclusion can find de- light in the drama. The moisture of the eyes and the mobility of the lips tell the story. About his dress there is little to note, It is the garb of his order, a rusty black cassock reaching from his throat to his heels. On the rare occasions when he goes beyond the stone walls of the college grounds his plain black sack sult, clerical collar and stock might cause him to be mistaken for an Episcopalian minister. Heis a charming conversationalist and this he owes largely to the fact that he is something of an actor. He has caught a spark of that divine afflatus, that touch of genius which he holds essential gnirtea nis position from the circus ring to success on the stage—for men, and which he denies absolutely to the con- crete feminine. There is never an instant that the lines and muscles of his face are not used as an aid to language in the expression of his thoughts. He is earnest and incisive without being dogmatic. You feel that he is not pressing his views upon you. If you venture to differ with him he meets you on your own ground with an argu- ment; then he smiles ina peculiarly con- vincing way that makes you believe half against your will that the dim cloud is “very lke a whale.’’ Here are his the- ories: “You want to know why I write plays? Well, -when I began the work six years ago my idea was to supply a want which my experience told me existed in col- leges. I felt that students would be ele- vated if trained to an appreciation of the drama in its highest form. I set about devising entertainments which, while lit- erary, would have a touch of the dra- matic. I felt it would not be fair to take excerpts from a master like Shakspeare and get boys to render them when old actors scarcely do them Justice. “You might as well chip the nose off the Venus de Milo, place it on exhibition and ask the public to admire it. I felt that any successful performance must not only be within the grasp of the stu- ' a BE WOMA BY BROTHER AMBROSE, Of the Order of Christian Brothers, Playwright and Poet, drama, but noattempt should be made to interpret the ideal inthe concrete. As soon as a flesh and blood woman tries tointerpret it, the beautiful concept falls to the earth.. Shakspeare’s most beautiful plays when first produced under the playwright’s personal direction had no woman inthe cast. Many actresses achieve success not so much by their merit as artists, nor by those spiritual qualities which en- noble and sweeten a woOman’s nature. Lack of those qualities, I am told,is the stepping stone on which some actresses have risen to fame. Three classes of men assure the easy ascent of the woman who is willing to exchange virtue for fame. First comes the clase of manager whose standard is not the standard of virtue; who sees in a woman only money- making power of her beauty of face and form. Second comes the young man who enjoys the doubtful distinction of being tn the company of women whose names are on the lips of play-goers. His acquaintance with actresses usually extends no farther than the greenroom. They take from his reputation to add to their notoriety and leave him only the consciousness that he has been a fool. The third class is drawn from the ranks of older men with money, and these are the most harmful They are the moving spirits of the stage to-day. Wie the ancients woman had no place on the stage. The ideal concept of woman should be suggested in the re I °o write termine how many characters I will in- troduce and the relations they shall bear to each other. I have usually a clearly defined central idea around which to work. I even think out the settings and work with them always in my mind's eye. “Once my concept of the play is formed, the work of writing it Is as easy as eat- ing. As I write the dialogue I put myself in the place of each character in turn, I share the lover’s love and the villain’s hate and get excited as the mischief as the climax approaches. “One thing I always do; Iavold impos- sibilities. I believe the drama’s mission is to educate. There should be no false note. The modern farce-comedy violates the possibilities. In real life a man who enters a drawWing room does not jump up in the air and fall down on the side of his face when a lady smiles on him He does that or something equally foolish in the farce-comedy. “I read a play recently tn which a po- liceman follows two men, forces open a door and enters the house. That could not happen in real life. The policeman would have to have a search warrant.” “Women,” sald Brother Ambrose, “have no place in my plays. That is, no woman or representation of a female character appears before the audience, In all of my plays there ts an ideal wo- FROM “T. V.

As did the ancients, I en- deavor to preserve the unities of time, place and action and to agglomerate such characters that the student in interpret- ing them will add something to his edu- cation and character. “T permit no funny work. Anyone can make a fool of himself. The clown has ways out of sight. Woman as an ideal concept is beautiful, as a concrete entity she is often in real life and not infre- quently on the stage a disappointment. When she attempts to portray a charac- ter she shatters an ideal. That is the great difference between the male and the female character. As far as human nature goes a man on the stage is not regarded as a woman is. A woman is admjred because of what she seems to be. A man is admired and respected for what he is. | “To be a man means so much. A man must be Industrious, ambitious and tal- ented to achieve and hold a high position in any walk of life. On the stage a wo- man needs some beauty to start with. After that the less character she has the greater are her chances of attaining a certain notoriety. “The great actors are true men in every sense. Sol Smith Russell, Willard and Jefferson find the drawing rooms of re- spectable families open to them. Of how many actresses can that be said? It was here that Brother Ambrose spoke his burning words about women in the drama. Diverting the art of acting, Brother Ambrose continued: “The philosophy of acting does not call for mimicry. An act- or is prostituting art when he descends to the stage. There are no clowns in my plays, though I occasionally admit a vein of sly, gentle humor. My humor is all in the situation, not in the work allotted to any individual performer.” Brother Ambrose went to some pains to explain his idea of humor, elucidating it with this instance: “In one of my plays a young man is very much in love wfth a young lady. He cannot go to her, but he sends her a bouquet. The audience sees the old col- ored messenger leave the scene with the flowers. The action progresses. Just at the climax, when something is needed to relieve the tenseness of the situation, the old negro returns with the flowers. Handing them to the young man, he says: ‘Miss Alleen say she don’ want none & yoh flowahs.’ There is humor. “The situation should bring out the humor,” oontinued Brother Ambrose, ‘Sol Smith Russell ts one of the few comedians who recognize this. : ’ P 5 - F ‘ ea Z F ‘35 te ‘ » * he Se xs My ie se, | ee 4 ~ ee Tee S te: eo ee ie. ees Pr ce eee HI ee, 3 s ) ; ll i 4 = ‘ iat ’ pge ei ay i} {yt 14 to the imitation of passions and emo- tions that degrade a man, In “The Heart of Maryland’ I am told an actor imitates a drunken man with the horrors, That is debasing and repellent. I can appear as drunk as the veriest sot.” A wonderful change came over the black gowned little man. The muscles of his face relaxed. His tongue rolled on his lower lip. He talked incoherently and slapped at visions. He appeared so very drunk it was a relief to see him reassume the serenity that comported with his cloth. ' “You see, I can do that, but that isn’t art,” he said. “I can depict certain pas- sions by the formulations of the muscles of my face. I can seem angry.” Another change. Deep wrinkles fur- rowed Brother Ambrose’s forehead, his eyes flashed fire. Instinctively the re- porter looked around for an avenue of escape. The wrinkles faded and the ec- clesiastic actor smiled bruadly. “I can put unutterable love into my gaze,” said the little Brother, and he did. The soft eyes grew softer. Their pleading gaze was that of the lover. One listened for words of undying affection and thought of what the world had lost in the accession of this little mah to the ranks of the black-gowned fraternity. “That is art,” he eald; “for love is « noble impulse. “Now let me come back to what I sald about women. I spoke of those whom the world thinks successful. That there are g00d women on the stage I have no doubt, but the good ones, I am positively informed by those who should know, can- not hope for fame for the very reason that their goodness prevents them from paying the price that is set uponit. They may have engagements and make a liv- ing, but not one in a hundred will become what the world—the people in the front 4 great.” j 7. eee i the s oy + Brother Ambrose permitted the reports er to look on the manusoripts of his plays. They are essentially plays of ac tion, not words. The absent woman is spoken constantly, and often dominates the action. Here are some extracts: “What pleasant recollections an odor can awaken! I never catch that fra- grance but the face of Lucia floats before . ; me.” “Her face! If I gaze en the sky af night, when only the stars are out, Ieep 89 it up there, and the stars arelostin hep = hair.” eS “I have tried to picture that face, b ay oe %, # 4 Po — ¥ Fn ; it im’t like it yet.

7 trace Pee os ange es . a 4“, 4A oA gS Al GETAFE nite ~ ROBERTS JOKES WITH DEATH. His Life May End on the Gallows, Yet He Sees Only the Humorous Side of Life. THE CLOWN OF THE ST LOUIS BASTILE. ILLIAM ROBERTS, alias “Dublin,” is the Rigoletti of the City Jail. He \ y jests at everything. He jokes with himself. Although charged’ with murder, he is the livelicst man in prison. He has fun with the men who are jointly indicted with him for the murder and robbery of old Jacob Wienand. If he is ever brought to the gallows, as now seems probable, there is little doubt that he will give Brother Death a poke in the ribs and softly hum: Arrah, go’ way, You're only fodling! Dublin overflows with mirth. His imper- turbable good humor its contagious. There have been no riots since his advent in the city bastile. Men do not mutiny when they @re amused. The companions of Dublin Roberts will never want for a laugh. He was born in Ireland and owes his Mickname to his native city. He says he is 2% years old, but he-looks older. His wit is spontaneous, Life to him is a great joke. His voice is as unctuous as that of Wilkie Collins’ Count Fosco, the only fat villain fn literature. His words are as smooth as those of Mr. Pecksniff, but less guarded @nd more sincere. He is another Richard Brindsley Sheridan. He has no patience with those puritanic folk who “hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell.” As Byron said of young Haidee’s father: He is the mildest mannered man That ever scuttled ship or cut a throat. Although the murder of Jacob Wienand Was atrocious, and although Dublin has confessed to his share in the crime, the po- lice believe that hes not naturally a vil- Jain, but that he was led into it while in one of those reckless moods which have characterized his life. The grand jury was mentioned. “Devil a bit do I mind the grand jury,” gaid Dublin. “I see nothin’ grand about it. iAny old stiff can get mixed up.with the grand jury if he has money or a credit rat- ing. But it takes a good man to be a black- emith, and that’s what I was before I got promoted to jail. “The murder? “T’'ll not talk about it. mention the bloody pas‘.”’ He told of how he crossed the ocean when @ rollicking bey of 19 years. “IT never expected to find such a wild place,” he declared. ‘‘All of these Ameri- cans are bent on coining money. That's the gecret of crime. The craze for gold sets men to planning, and murder is nothing if it comes handy.” “How do you like this jail?” “This jail? Well, I'd like it a good deal better in Omaha, with me in St. Louis.” Noble Shepard was the ghastliest joker that ever sojourned in the City Jail. Dublin fis not far behind him. But Shepard joked about his victims. He gloated over the “good one” that robbed. Thomas Morton of s life, and boasted of the finesse of the blow that cleft the skull of Lizzie Leahy. Dublin’s humor is different, though ex- ceedingly grim at times. He has fun at the expense of his fellow prisoners. To most of them it is a mattér of stern reality, for they are not aware that he is joking. He ig more intelligent than the ordinary prisoner and reads every newspaper he can procure. One day another prisoner re- guested “him to read aloud. Dublin seized the opportunity to have a little fun. But he only pretended to read the paper. What he gave them was pure fiction, extemporized for the occasion. As readily as though they were im print, he “read’’ story after story relating to the prisoners around him. The most blood-curdling narratives that he could think of off-hand were launched forth with much oratory and great plausibility—all stories of imaginary crimes, in which the prisoners around him were made to figure as Sanguinary actors. The more intelligent prisoners understand the joke, but will not divulge it, for they enjoy the fun, As for the others, They never did know/ {And now he knows that they never did know), And never could understand.

NE day, early in the morning, the servant an- nounced to Dr. K., one of the most renowned physicians of Pesth, that a gentleman wished to consult with him without delay. The doctor hurriedly pulled on his dressing-gown and ordered the patient to be shown to his room. The patient was ev dently a man of gentle breed- ing. His pale features were distorted with pain, his right hand he carried in a sling. “Dr. K.?’’ he asked, with a feeble voice. “I am Dr. K.” “As I am living in the country I have had the pleasure of knowing you only by repute, but I can- not say that I am, under existing circumstances, delighted to make your acquaintance.” The doctor noticed that-the stranger could hardly keep on his feet, and therefore invited him to be seated, “I am tired to death,” said the unknown. “For a week I have not been able to sleep. There is something wrong with my right hand; I do not know what it is—whether an incipient carbuncle or something else of the kind. At first the pain was but slight; now, however, it is a continuous burn- _ag eensation, that ie becoming wé6rse every day. ‘As I can no longer stand it I have come here to ask you to cut out the affected spot, for another day of this torture would drive me mad.” The doctor gave as his opinion that the pain might be relieved by means of lotions and medicines with- lout having recourse to an operation, . “No, no!” cried the stranger. ‘“‘Neither plasters mor medicine can help me; it must be cut out!” The doctor asked him to show his hand, and the patient stretched it out to him, gritting his teeth for the pain. “My suffering is of such a peculiar nature as to astonish you,” he remarked while the physician ‘untied the bandage. “But don’t let this influence ‘you in your diagnosis.” The doctor calmed him. As an old practitioner ‘he was used to strange complaints. Nevertheless he could not conceal his consternation when he looked at the hand freed from its bandage. Noth- ing abnormal could be seen on it—neither wound nor swelling; it was a hand just like any other. Perplexed, he dropped it. A cry of pain escaped the lips of the stranger as he carefully raised the diseased member—a proof at there was no question of simulation, but of suffering. “Where is the sensitive epot?” asked the doctor. “Here.” The stranger pointed to a spot on the back of his hand; he shuddered all over when the doctor touched it slightly with the tip of his fin- ger. “Do you feel the pressure of my finger?’ The patient made no answer; but his eyes filled with tears, so unbearable was his agony. “Strange! I can see absolutely nothing.” “Nor can I, but the pain I feel is so acute that at times I am almost driven to run my head against the wall.” The doctor examined the place with his magnify- ing glass and shook his head. “The skin & per- fectly intact, the blood circulates regularly, the spot is just as sound as the rest of your hand.” “It still appears to me as though the spot was somewhat redder.”’ “Where?” The stranger took a pencil out of hie pocket- book and drew on the back of his hand a ring of the size of a five-cent piece. “Here,’’ he said. The doctor looked searchingly at his face. Was the patient's brain perhaps affected? “Stay with me,’’ he said; ‘‘then you will be cured in a few days.’’ “IT cannot wait. Do you take me for a maniac, possessed by a fixed idea? In this way you could not cure me. The small spot on my hand which I ~—4=s—-— §_ "the EXCISION | ™ . \ \\ . = . mn. n ' have marked gives me the pangs of hell, and I have ceme here in order to have it cut out.” “IT could not do such a thing.” “Why not?’ “Because youg hand shows no symptom of dis- ease whatever.’’ “You really seem to doubt my accountability,”’ remarked the stranger as he took a thousand-florin note out of his pocket and laid it on the table. “You see, doctor, that I do not indulge in a child- ish joke, and that the favor I ask of you appears to me both urgent and justifiable. I therefore ask you again to remove this part of my hand.’’ “Let me repeat, sir, that all the treasures of the world could not induce me to treat a healthy limb as sick, much less to apply the knife.’’ “And why not?” ‘“‘Because such an act not only would be sense- less, it would also injure my reputation as a phys!i- cian. Everyone would then say that you were a madman and & had taken advantage of your condi- tion.”’ ‘Very well. So I'll ask you only a small favor. I myself am able to do the cutting; it is true I shall do it very awkwardly with my left, but that mat- ters little. Only be so kind as to dress the wound after the operation.”” With these words he took off his coat, tucked up his sleeves, and seized a knife that was lying on the table. In the next mo- ment the sharp steel gashed his skin. “Stop!” erled the doctor, fearing that the patient might injure some blood vessel. “Since you in- sist on the cutting, I would rather do it myself.” 1 When the strange operation was completed the sufferer uttered a sigh of infinite relief. “Has it stopped burning now?” the physician asked. “Yes, now tt is all right. The pain has com- pletely left me. The little inconvenienge of the wound when compared with the pangs I felt is like a refreshing breeze after a raging hurricane, I even derive a certain pleasure from seeing the flowing blood. Let it flow; I enjoy it.” With an expression of deiight he watched the blood gushing from the wound, and the doctor bad almost to insist forcibly upon dressing the hand. In the mean time the countenance of the stranger changed completely. The desperate ex- pression vanished, his forehead became smooth, the color returned to his cheeks, he seemed to be filled with new life. As soon as his hand was bandaged, he shook the doctor’s hand cordially with his left. “A thousand thanks!” he said. ‘“‘You have cured me.

You should consult a physician for the spot on her chin; if the child’s general health ig good her hair should not fall out. I do not like to advise hair tonics for chil- dren, a@ except in rare cases, they are not really required. I think if you shampoo the little head once a week, keep the ends of the hair singed to prevent their splitting, and, above all, if you are particular as to the child’s diet, she will not require a hair loti@n. <A. child in the condition you de- scride should mever be permitted to eat pork in any form.

It is better for all purposes, perhaps, except the chilling of drinking water. The ice season is an epoch of the winter in these towns. The laborer who has grumbled at the street corner has a good job. The teamster has all he can do, and is paid well for what he does do. The farmers, with their horses, for miles around, join in the general prosperity. The packing houses, the retail dealers, and, in the Northern towns, even the butchers, the soda fountains, the farms and private con- sumers own ice houses.

OHN T, WILLOUGHBY, Englishman, 7 has journeyed around the world to find the American who saved his life. He was in St. Louis yesterday. By now he has reached Kansas City and probably his journey’s end. | It happened in the wilds of Africa. Wil- loughby was a mine owner. Charley Need- ham of Kansas City was a prospector. . When the Matabeles arose in rebellion two years ago and started out to exterminate every man, woman and child whose ekin Was white, Needham took refuge at Wil- loughby’s mine. There was a five months’ siege and finally a dash’ for life or death through the line of hostile impis. Willoughby reeled from his horse under a murderous blow from a knob- kerrie. Needham caught him as he fell, sabred his savage assailant, drew the limp form of the Englishman across his saddle end carried him 30 mileg to safety. Deeds of bravery and devotion such as this are not done for reward. The'American thought so little of his act that he did not wait to receive the Englishman’s thanks. Without intending it he put the Englishman to a lot of trouble. Willoughby made a eol- emn resolution te find Needham and at least shake his hand in testimony of his appreciation of the American’s gervice of bravery. It was a New Year’s resolution made in far off Tati two years ago. It will probably be carried out in Kansas City to- day. Willoughby carries a misshapen shoulder to remind him how close was his call, and tells the story of the greatest adventure in his adventuroua life in graphic language. “When the second Matabele rebellion broke out,”’ he says, “I, with four friends, William Jones, Frank B. Lancaster, Eller- ton Fry and Telford Evans, was operating @ mine which we had named the Monargh, in the Tati reservations, thirty miles from f STRANGE PILGRIMAGE OF J. T. WILLOUGHBY ENDED AT KANSAS CITY. § ——_ — the garréson town of Tat!l. When the Mata- beles, made desperate and vengeful by the losses of their cattle and crops by pest and plague and the domineering of the black soldiers, uprose, the 400 Kaffir boys em- ployed by us deserted us in a body and joined their rebellious fellows. “It was a war of extermination against all whites. Knowing this, we prepared for a siege. “The head gear of the mine was inclosed by a ‘battery,’ a rude building of logs 60x200 feet in size, with an outside covering of sheet iron. We took refuge in this battery. We were armed with repeating rifles and had 100 rounds of ammunifion. Our thirty horses were also brought within the build- ing which we made bullet proof with sev- eral additional layers of sheet iron on ths inside of the logs. “Port holes were cut at shoulder height, and all the smaller surrounding buildings were burned, 80 as to give us a clear sweep in every diréction with our rifles.

HIS TRADE IS THE SEARCH FOR GOLD, FOLLOWING IT HAS MADE HIM A COSMOPOLITAN, — IN ENGLAND WILLOUGHBY WAS EDUCATED AS A MINING ENGINEER, “Our party was gradually recruited by prospectors from the surrounding country until we numbered 27. That made so many more to feed, but the men were all well equipped with arms and ammunition, and brought some provisions with them beside, and we decided if we had to die we would all die together: “One of the last prospectors to come in was Charley Need-. ham.

His cheery carelessness kept up the spirits of all of us, The refrain of his favorite song was ‘‘Molly Mantell and the Baby,’’ and often in the still night watches in the battery it rang out its cheery assurance, like the mariner’s ‘All’s well.’ “For the first two modfiths after the uprising we had frequent skirmishes with marauding bands of the Matabeles. For three months we were actuall besieged, being surrounded by about 1500 of the flercest savages. “Although our position was virtually impregnable it was neces- sary to maintain constant vigilance to prevent the savages from storming us. By day there was constant skirmishing.

It did not come, and finally on the last day of Decem- ber our sole faithful ‘boy,’ a whiteheaded ancient Kaffir, who had not skipped like his brethren, at the first rumor of trouble, who acted as chef to our culinary de ment, stoically proclaimed that only one bag of mealie meal remained to us. “We had done our best to hold the mine, but in the face of certain starvation or a swift death when our ammunition gave out, we decided to make a dash for Tati, 2 miles distant, where a strongly fortified laager, garrisoned by the Chartered Com- pany’s troops and a detachment of Bechu- analand border police offered safe refuge. “The preparations for flight were soon made. The ammuniton was divided, the arms looked over and the horses’ hoofs muffied with strips of blankets. “An hour before dawn when the chil} night winds sweep down from the Mangive Pass and mountains across the high hills and tablelands, the Kaffirs sleep the soundest, We selected this hour for the start. “Leading our horses, we crept stealthily out of the battery and struck a course which we judged would take us between two kraals and therefore between two camps of savages. The night was pitch dark. We crept forward until we thought we were nearing the line of hostiles. Then at a signal me all mount- ed and spurred our horses into a wild dash. By my side rode Needham, with his banjo slung to his back. “A sentinel’s rifle flashed and cracked. The death cry of the comrade who rode behind me was echoed by a pagdemonium of yells. We had dashed into the very midst of a camp of Kaffirs, In an instant they were up and about us. “Fiercely as in the days of Tshaka, the great King, Lobengu- la’s children roared out their mighty battle songs. “There wag no time for more than one volley from our rifles and then revolvers began to play and the few sabers in our pos- session got in their work on the woolly pates of the children of Ebns. “There was a shower of spears, most of which went wild, and I began to think the worst was over. “But a naked warrior, as swift as the wind, came bounding behind me.

He was born in 8t. Lous @8 years ago. More than half of his life has been spent as a criminal, He is now under sentence to imprisonment for life, under the habithal criminal act of Kentucky, He was refused a new trial and has taken his case to the Court of Appeals. He is widely known as a pickpocket, confidence man @nd burg- lar. Chief Desmond of St. Louis considers him one of the smoothest thieves in the country. Here is the story of his life, his days of plenty and his despair: “Refore I was 12 years old I fell in witha gang of boys who used to loaf around the levee in St. Louis, stealing whatever they eould get their hands on and selling it to gunk dealers for enough to buy candy with. Bome of the boys got a taste of whisky, and after that part of their money went for Mquor. “But I was too shrewd to drink. “7 saw the other boys lying in a drunken etupor, and found that while they were sleeping I could turn my hand to more thievery and profit by it. “T began to think it smart to have money, and lied to my mother about the way I got it. I thought I was making it easy and de- termined always to make it chat way. It was far better, I thought, than working. “My mind was inflamed by stories of dar- ing robberies told in the paper-backed books I bought for 6 and 10 cents apiece, and one of my ambitions was to become & noted eritminal. “My parents were respectable people, well known in St. Louis, and had considerable money. I had all the comforts a boy could reasonably wish for, but some devilish in- stinct impelled me to run away from home. When I was 12 years old I left home, and my parents spent a small fortune trying to lo- cate me, as I learned later. “Finally they gave me up fer dead. I mever communicated with them. I have al- ways tried to conceal my identity, through respect for them. To this day, I do not be- lieve that they have any idea where I am or what I have been doing. “After they left S{° Louis they went to New York.

Death would be a relief from my present condition, Even if I could get rd of this infernal cough I would never be any geed. “When 1] was only 13 years old I was ar- rested in Louisville on a charge of grand larceny. I was convicted and remained in jail three months. Ever since that time I have been in trouble. When I wasn’t in the penitentiary in Missouri or Kentucky I was dodging the police somewhere else. All my life hag been a batile against the law. “It is needless to say that I have been the loser. “Hven before I got out of my teens I realized that there was nothing in the life of a burglar, but what could I do? I was already branded as a criminal, and the po- lice never give a man a chance, no matter how earnestly he may desire to reform. I] can't say that I wanted to change my course—at least, I never tried—although I knew that detection was certain. I had the mame of being a criminal. I thought I might as well have the game. “A burglar sells his booty and enjoys the money while it lasts, but he soon runs through with it, and then has to prepare for another ‘job,’ I think I know as much @bout the business as anybody, and I say that there is nothing in it for any man. “A burglar and a gambler are very much alike in some respects. Both get their money easily and epend it recklessly. They are either flush or dead broke. They may have smooth eailing for a while, but in ’ the end luck will turn against them, just as 't has turned against me. “The happiest year I ever spent was 1895. I had a littie trouble, of course.

HE announcement that the head of the Ppis- copalian Church of the diocese of New York hes tacitly given his approval of the mar- riage of a divorced woman prompts this communi- cation Countless women are to-day asking the question that has been pounding at my heart continuously gince reading in your paper an account of a dinner given by a society leader for her daughter, lately divorced and remarried, at which the Bishop of the diocese of New York was the most conspicuous guest. What about me? What of my martyrdom, what of my religion that has enforced and insisted upon that martyrdom? What about the thousands of women who have been told and taught as I have been by the Church of Pngland, from the bishop to the curate, that the marriage service means liter- ally what it says, that a vow taken for life and for death means for life and for death, that for better and for worse, and that the church of God recog- nizes no difference between the man and woman living in open adultery and the remarried divorced man or divorced woman? | Briefly, let me state my own case, and ff in its re cital its truth be not hideously apparent then may I who write these lines rever emerge from the ter- rible shadows that so long have encompassed me! When I was 15 years old I met the man I afterward married. I was a little girl even for my years, stil) In short @resses, with my hair in braids hanging down my shouldere. I was an orphan, spending my summer vacation with my kinsmen. I was just from the Episcopal convent, where I was being educated. The We met ata child's party; I was one of the children. He was one of the grown people asked to see the little ones dance. My father had left me an estate valued at $65,000. The man of 32 afterward told me that he deter- mined that first evening to marry me. He was of excellent family and had great expectations finan- olally. It was well known that at one time he had been dissipated; he had sown his wild oats, but he was conceded to be the best match in the town. He made no secret of his affection for me. T was fascinated, charmed and unquestionably elated that I ‘had won the love of the great beau of the town in which we lived. I returned to the con- vent much impressed with my own importance, and when my aunt next came to see me accompanied by Mr. X——, who in ‘her presence assured me that his happiness in life depended upon my becoming his little wife, I was quite willing to accept the flatter- ing prospect. I was married on my 16th birthday to this man, During the few months of our engagement I eome- times thought my fiance got very angry over trifling things, but he never lost his temper with me; it was usually with a servant or he would whip his horses or his dogs, and it frightened me just a little. YT told him that he made me afraid, and he put his arms about me and kissed me and said, ‘Yes, I have an awfully bad temper, but you are my little queen, you need never fear me.” And I did not then. My first long dresses were made for my wedding trousseau. Looking back upon myself at that time and upon my.total lack of comprehension of what I was about to undertake, I stand appalled. I hon- estly can only remember of that time that every- body at my aunt's talked end thought of my clothes, my beautiful jewels, of the splendor of my approaching wedding, the latter as @ society spec- tacle, nothing more. That matrimony could have a grave, solemn or serious side no one suggested. No human being ever told me what it really meant. I had no more idea of the sacredness of true mar- riage than of the hideousness of the life I was about to enter upon, the life of a child-wife. Just as wo were about to descend to the great drawing-room where the marriage ceremony was to be performed, my fiance took me in his arms and with a vehemence that terrified me he said, ‘‘Before this hour is past you will Se mine, body and soul.” Three weeks after our wedding, while we were etill on our bridal journey, and my husband was en- tertaining some of his old friends at luncheon, I crept into a little church near the hotel where we were stopping and there on my knees I prayed to God to let me die. I had no mother, no sister, no human being to whom I could go. My aunt had mever invited my confidence. I was devoutly religious: I had my God, I belleved In him and I begged and entreated him ta take me to my own mother and in pity to let me die. There are too many women who will understand why I wanted to dle. IT had a little purse tn my pocket, containg a large sum of money, which my husband had tossed into my lap that morning. When he gave it to me he did so with words that were so brutally insulting that I was almost stunned. They were not the first coarse words of terribly brutal meaning I had heard from his lips during those weeks in which I had so sadly learned what it meant to belong tohim. Be- fore I left the church I placed my little purse, its contents untouched, upon the poor box. My baby came when I was one day over17. When my little son was 5 weeks old his father inherited a fortune of nearly $2,000,000. Hé was brought home drunk every day for two weeks after by one or more of his dissipated companions. From that time he drank continually, I do not believe he was ever really sober for an entire week running during the fourteen years I LOGANSPORT, IND., SCIENTIST : SAYS HE CAN MAKE SUNSHINE. S' B.

The discoverer of the new illuminant Is &. B. Nickum of Logansport, Ind. It fs the result of five years of the hardest kind of work in his finely appointed laboratory. It is the product of a trained and scientific mind, worked out slowly, laboriously, in the face of many failures and obstacles that appeared at first insurmountable. If all that is claimed for this illuminant be true it is one of the greatest discoveries of all times. It is more marvelous than the “¥vYacuum tube light discovered by Tesla. The globes are made in sizes Varying from @n ordinary egg to the covering of an arc light. Some of them glow with a soft, dim light, while the large ones possess ex- -traordinary pbrilliancy. The brilliancy of the larger sizes depends upon the degree of exigustion in the globe. If a perfect vacuum could be obtained the inventor declares that the human eye could mo more bear the light than it can look He says that the only obstacle that now stands in the way of complete success is the exhaustion of the @lobes and the sealing of them. This is a purely mechanical problem which does not give him great concern. First it is interesting to know something of the man himself and how he came to dis- cover the new light. He is 40 years old and ‘was born in Ohio. -He is self-educated. He has lived in Logansport for several years and in Indiana the greater part of his life. He has a model shop and is known as a mechanic of rare skill and as a etudent as well. About five years ago an order for half a G@ozen representations of the solar system Was sent to him. He set to work to build @n exact model showing the movements of the planets about the sun, This led him to study astronomy and physics very care- Doubt entered his mind, and further that the attraction which {s called gravita- tion is a force vastly different and acting in a manner not yet grasped by scientists. This was three years ago. Since then he has worked night and day to bring the idea to a state of practical] perfection. He has worked in absolute secrecy. Years ago Nickum had an unfortunate experience with an invention. It taught him caution. Jie extended his laboratory to twice its former size. He took every precaution to keep out intruders, He went to live over the workshop. oven when Nickum had convinced himself that he had succeeded in producing a new light ‘he guarded his secret, But there came a time when it was necessary to have as- sistance, He sent for his brother, J. R. Nickum of Topeka, Kan, It was decided to give a few persons an exhibition of the il- luminant. J. 8. Lairy, a leading attorney of the town, was the first outsider to see it. “An opportunity wag first given me to witness the invention about two weeks ago,’ said Mr. Lairy. “Nothing had been planned in advance, and when.I entered the laboratory no globes were burning. Mr. Nickum said he would give me a thorough demonstration of the method he was work- ing upon, After giving a scientific explana- tion of how his light was produced he took some chemicals and placed them in a giass globe about two inches in diameter, The globe was attached to an air pump and the room darkened.

J., and took his wife there. @ NICOLA TESLA HAS HARNESSED afterward lived with him. When he was very drunk he was either maudlin or abusive or stupid. When he was in the intermediate stages he would be sullen, jealous or over affectionate. He would often refuse to speak to me for weeks at @ time,.or he would address me only to insult me. He would threaten my life when he was abusive. ’ Several times he turned me out of the house; twice I sought shelter in the stables, where I re- mained all night hiding in my carriage, afraid to at- tempt to re-enter the house because of his expressed intention to kil me. When, after my last child’s birth and death, I was strong enough to travel, I was sent abroad by my physician, who did not hesitate to tell my husband how nearly he had been a murderer, My first-born, my little son, meanwhile ‘had died too, He went away one winter night while I and his nurse watched him, and his father lay drunk fn another room, and I was so thankful when I closed this pre- clous, beautiful eyes that I shed no tears—not one, My grief was for life. All the peace I longed for had been given to my little son. I would not have robbed him, but I did envy him such perfect rest. . On the steamer that took me to Purope I met «a man whom I have loved, I sometimes think, always. I was not alone. I had a duenna with me—an aged spinster, a relative of my husband. But she loved me, and ~was as like a good mother to me 4s ehe knew how to be The man whom TI met so unexpectedly was in truth the realization of every ideal I had ever formed. I knew then and I know now that he and I were one in soul from the hour we first met on that steamer. I was an honest woman and @ wife, so there came the eoul-wrenching conflict between love and duty. I think I fought a good fight. I was young; I loved: I was beloved; I had been hideously abused. Every drop of blood in my veins did battle against me, against the religion I believed in, the religion I clung ‘to. One day the man spoke. He was not an unknown person. On the contrary, he was known and hon- ored from one end of the civilized world to the other by reason of his distinguished services to his coun- try. He intuitively read my history. He told me of his love, begged me to seek the freedom I could so readily obtain, and said to me: “My arms are open to receive you. Let me lay my namo, my honor, my life at yeur feet.”” My religion gave me the strength or the fool- hardiness to refuse to enter a paradise which the Church would not sanctify. Because I believed what I had been taught in the Church of the marriage sacrament I turned my face resolutely from this man toward what I believed to be my duty. I said goodby to this one man of all the world to mé, I returned to my legal husband to take up a ife of bitterness and misery beyond description, and fifteen years after my wedding day, when he had dissipated not only the greater part of his own but | of my fortune also, he embezzled a large sum of money, and, in company with one of the most no | torious women of the igpereadinerting sm I believe he still lives, although for i have heard nothing from him, The man whom Tf love still lives also. I have crucified myself and him fer all these years upon the altar of religion. | I have confided my story to the rectors ef- Episcopal churches in this city. I have asked tham if I must bear this cross forever. Without hestta- — tion they have told me that for me to remarry, even “= easily do, would be in the eyes of God prostitution, — and that no clergyman of the Church of Englaa@ — were upon the sacredness of the marriage in particular was upon the impossibility church recognizing the validity of the a divorced man cr woman. “No remarried man or woman,” said this priest, “would be mitted to approach the communion table, could not claim the protection of the Church wihille they lived in such ae relationship.” The Bishop of the Diocese of New York has broken bread with and taken his wife to indorge By her presence at a feast the presence of a remarried divorcee in whose honor the function was given. I want to know, in the name of countless others — as well as for myself, whether the marriage corm | mony is only sacred and itndissoluble for such wretched women as I am. Not the daughter of a soctal leader, not an hetress | to millions and millions of dollars, not a woman with a scandal in her past, but just an honest, lov- ing, loyal woman, who craves companionship, whe longs for the affection of a strong man’s-heart, end . who has put aside the temptation of a man's pray- ers, repeated year after year, offered tn reverence and tenderness, ard has tved the barren life of a creature defrauded of her birthright, of love and of the joys of true maternity because she would not defy the law of God.

This mighty poten. tiality, which is far beyond the conception of even the mathematician, has become the creature of*the brain of one man. It was only a few months ago that Tesla announced that he had conceived an inven- tion by which electricity could be trans- mitted over the whole earth and be made to work at the wiil of man. The invention is still In the experimental stage, but he declares that there Is not a possibility of its failure. He has discovered a means of producing steam from the rays of the sun. The steam runs 4 steam engine which generates electricity. The first apparatus, which was made more than two years ago, had no more driving force than a Newfoundland dog. It was a huge, unwieldy thing, entirely impos- sible for practical purposes, but it demon- strated the truth of the principle. He set abomf perfecting his invention, ‘ He has nearly completed a new engine with a twenty-four horse-power capacity. Its cost is so small, its dimensions make it so easily handled that nothing now stands in the way of building the apparatus on a large scale. When Tesla has secured a patent on his invention he will make public “the minute details of the principle and exhibit the ap- Nie TESLA has harnessed the “As the alr was taken from the globe a faint glow was perceptible. It gradually in- creased until it was possible for me to see distinctly the faces of those about me. As long as the pump was In operation the light remained, but directly the pumping was stopped and the air rushed back into the globe the light disappeared, The experi- ment was repeated several times, The light was soft and white and steady. The globe Was not connected with wires nor was there an electrical apparatus at work in the rooasm,”’ Since that time there have been severa) exhibitions, but the inventor has exercised great caution in displaying the new light. Drayton sued for divorce on statutory grounds. Mrs. Drayton filed a cross-bill, alleg- ing desertion. 'The husband dawdled. The wife was busy. She got her divorce. Mrs. Drayton's father cut her off in his will, but her mother believed in her and was determined to re-establish the divorcee on an enviable social footing.

A month ago Mrs. Drayton was married in London to George Halg, a whisky mer- chant. Last week Mrs. Astor gave a dinner. With music and fiowers and golden plate and glittering crystal Mrs. Astor captured so- ciety for her daughter. Bishop Potter of the Diocese of New York was there with his wife. By his presence he gave the seal of the church’s indorsement to Mrs. Haig’s restoration to position in so- But s0- paratus, and the results of his great tri- umph over nature will be given to the world free of charge. Already he is planning to bulld an im- mense plant on Long Island, to be com- menced as soon as he receives his patent. He will eiaborate and perfect his model in his laboratory. “Most people will contend that the plan to harness the rays of the sun, to compel them to operate machinery of man and to give light and heat is the idle fancy of a dreamer,” said Tesla. “Il would indeed be surprised if they were to contend other- wise. There has never yet been proposed a single big scientific enterprise that has not at first been met with ridicule and laugheé at as being something beyond the bounds of possibility. “Everyone will remember the days ef the horse cars when electric street railways were first talked about as possibilities, The suggestion of cars running along the street without horses in front of them was laughed at. But now the people have trol- ley cars running in villages where, a few years ago, horse cars were considered too expensive, and they pay no more attention to the marvel they witness every day than they do to an express wagon rumbling along, the same street. f “It will be the same with the motive power generated by harnessing the rays of the sun. The first two months that the generating stations are in operation they will be places of intense interest, but after that the people will think no more about them, except as business places. They will regard them as little as they do gas tanks, electric light stations or water reservoirs, hey will simply suggest monthly or quar erly bills, such as they now pay for water and gas, except that the bills will be very, much less, “I do not care at this time to go into de tails. I have not yet begun the practical part of the work. But I will say that the results so far achieved are all that I could desire, and they place all possibility of « failure beyond the shadow of a doubt “I am certain that the new apparatus will come into speedy and general use. Its cost is so insignificant that it cannot be ignored. After the apparatus has been placed in station there is absolutely no expense running it for years, except the salaries engineers and the emall cost of the wear and tear, which will eventually be anything but expensive. “The whole business will be so simply ar- ranged that there will be no probability of its breaking down, but even if it should °* there would be nothing to prevent the storage of sufficient electricity for a whole year’s supply in case of an accident to the generating machinery. study and experiment led him to believe the lady’s NOVELS FROM NEWS OF THE WEEK HAVE THE THRILL OF-FICTION AND THE TRUTH OF LIFE “ * ‘ a v. > name is Mary Jones. .

Years and years ago, when Wililam Gray- gon was young, he loved a beautiful girl. This was nothing more than might have been expected, for all girls who are loved are beautiful. But the twain quarreled, Jealousy stepped in between them like a skeleton at a feast and. drove them apart. She was about to marry another for epite, but love flew to the rescue in time, and William Grayson became the happiest man in Arkansas. For years they Mved together, raising their children, prospering in worldly affairs and looking forward to a comfortable old age and a pleasant death, surrounded by friends and loved ones. | | Few were happier than they. A quiet home, a peaceful life and a@ loving family was their ambition, and they attained it. But the etorm which they had feared in their youth was as nothing to the disturb- ance which broke over their heads in their old age. On the morning after the tornado at Fort Smith they were found clasped in each other’s armas, co's in death, but smiling. The love which had bound them in youth mwas strong sven in death.

After ten years of married life, a divorce, The woman clad in black came back to live with her father, Dr, S. B. Bell, in Rosedale, Kansas City. r Meanwhile William P. Brush, the released husband, found his freedom more galling than the bonds had been. So fifteen years passed away. At last, just the other day, he was walking along a street in Kansas City when he met face to face a lady in widow’s garb. “Freddie,”’ he faltered. “Will! O Will!” she cried, and then— neither quite knew how—they were walk- ing arm in arm, whither they did not care, “There has not been a day I have net missed you, but I was proud,” he said. “lt have thought of you always, but I waited—waited. At first I hoped, but later ceased to dream of seeing you.” “Let me tell you,” he cried, in his old heediless, boyish fashion. “I am going to be married again!’ She started. “I hope you wil be very happy.” she said coldly. “T shall be! I shall marry you.” Bo, one day, the little community at Rose- Gale was startled to hear that the Widow rush was married again— y comedy, sometimes roaring farce of the knock-about order. There was tragedy enough In the meeting of Lizzie Brannan and Charles W. Horner— the hiss of escaping steam, the shrieks of anguish, the crashing of splintered wood and snapping steel. It was the great railway accident near Atlantic City a year and a half ago. Mark how chance works: Miss Brannan and Mr, Horner had never met. They were in the same car and were carried to the same hospital, and when the physicians and nurses came through on their errand of mercy they said of these two, ‘They will die.” But fate had other things in store for them. Slowly they recovered. The sun- shine streamed through the window and fell on their wan faces, and by and by the Warm pulse of youth beat stronger in their Veins, and they looked at each other, and them it was sunshine always. Mr. Horner lived in Bridgeton, Miss Bran- nan in Millville. There was a wedding in the latter place the other day. ‘Dearest!’ said the young man, softly, “IT would go through such a wreck every year of my life for such a treasure.” “and I," she whispered, “and I would go where you go, if it were to death.” | IFFE is sometimes tragedy, sometimes as of joy. It was in Germany that Emma De- ius loved Godfrey Darrowski and planned with him the building of a happy home in the new world. He was poor, but she had faith im him and loaned him money to come and prepare for her later arrival. Darrowski went to Louisville, Ky., and squandered his eweetheart’s savings in ways careless rather than vicious until, at last, he received a letter from Miss De- lius saying she could no longer live with- out him and announcing her intention to seek him out. But Darrowski was stung with remorse, He was not at all a bad fellow and felt that he was unworthy to meet her. So he lay down before an onrushing train and calmly awaited the most awful death. When Miss Delius arrived she wus told of Darrowski's death and was so prostrated with grief that friends feared for her life. [ OVE works strange miracles of sorrow, She was a cultured woman—speaking sev- eral languages. Perhaps this was why, as physical strength slowly carne to her, her mind wav- ered, grew flighty and at last broke al- together. The other night she was found wander- one—sad as the story of any thwart- ed life must be, pleasant in {ts rey- elation of steadfast human duty. +f Of course there is a sordid climax. A no- ble life shines better by contrast with it. It came in the effort to break the will of Nelson Guthrie, bachelor, giving all his Oy te ti to Mrs. Katy Harmon of Marshall, ll, Of course there was a story back of it. Guthrie had loved the woman in his youth, but some misunderstanding rose between them born of hot blood and mantl'ng pride, and in her pique the girl married Andrew Harmon in haste, to repent at leisure. Af- ter a few unhappy years Harmon aeban- doned her and the one child born to them. Mre. Harmon secured a divorce and the custody of the child, but she was a devout churchwoman and nothing could induce her to marry again. Nothing but the danger of some day losing her daughter could have compelled her to seek divorce at ail. Guthre wooed again, but In vain. Yet his love to the patient woman, torn by con- fliicta between her affection and her con- clenoe, never failed.

Much of the slang he uses and many of the homely phrases came naturally to him. He is a native Kentuckian. the edge of the Bluegrass region, and before horses. In Kentucky that is the worst kind of a cut-throat game. He was raised in Eminence, Henry County, on he got religion handled trotting It sharpens a man’s eye-teeth and in the battle of life an experience of that kind stands him in better stead than a college education. He gave up the trotting horses, game chickens, whisky and profanity. He never tried to give up tobacco. . While he has made $30,000 per year for the past 15 years he has very little to show for it. He has a handsome home at Cartersville, Ga., and his children are be- ing educated at college. He carries some life insurance, but outside of this he ‘would leave his family poor were he to die to-morrow. The evangelist is now on a lecture tour in Missouri. His lectures are nothing but sermons. While in St. Louis during the past week he was at the Southern Ho- tel and in his room there he chewed tobacco, smoked and talked for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. TO WHAT HE OWES HIS SUC- 3 CESS AS AN EVANGELIST. think € owe my success as an evangelist | to the fact that I have something to say and say it. I use plain Anglo-Saxon language. I do not say decay; I say rot- ten. I don’t say penetrate, but pierce, and I don’t say donkey, but jackass. I don't gay pandemonium, but hell. I don't say “home of the*good,” but heaven. And I always liken a fellow to the thing he is most like, whether he be like a hog, a dog, @ fox or a skunk. The plain truth, plain- ly spoken, is, I think, the most omnipotent thing in the world. The pla'n truth, plainly spoken, will draw more people together and hold ’em longer than Barnum, Bailey, Buffalo Bill, Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Bob Ingersoll & Co. combined. By the way, the Boston papers inter- viewed Mr. Ingersoll when I was there to know if I had challenged him to a joint de- bate upon the pros and cons of the religion of the world. He admitted that I had, but replied that he would not meet me because Jones represented no great religious de- nomination. Then the papers jumped on Bob and asked him what in the name of common sense he represented. Old Bob didn’t answer. He could have told ’em it was greed and avarice that drove an im- mortal man to blasphemy. Bob is a blasphemous old duck. I think his religious nature has absolutely disinte- grated. I'd as soon try to bulld an fron and brick structure twenty stories high on a quicksand as to make a gospel truth stick on old Bob. He is either so hard he parries the ball or sq soft it goes through him without leav- ing a. hole. ; I think St. Louis, like all the other large cities of America, has an opera house full of people who would like to hear Bob talk once or twice in a year. But if he'll open the Exposition Music Hall and lecture free for thirty consecutive days, I will guaran- tee that he won’t have a corporal’s guard of listeners at the end. I don’t think old Bob does much harm, for nobody but a fool is infatuated with ..im in a religious way, and God has made epec‘al provisions for the entering of idiots and children into His kingdom. For truth has come to stay; the eternal years of God are Hers. The man who loves the truth, lives the truth and preaches the truth is the most omnipotent man alive, — The man who loves a lie, lives a lie ana preaches a lie is the weakest man in all the world. I might be asked, Do not all ministers live and love and preach the truth? I would answer yes, and they all do good, but truth has its relative value like money has its relative value. There’s as much difference between a truth and the truth as there is between a copper cent and the $20 gold piece, though one is as genuine American coin es the other. All preachers preach the truth, I dare 4,: é y AEA 04 4 OCT RS 4 fy) OY SASF YO XOX KOO, NN yy ZY CARTERSVILLE, Ga., Jan. !2. To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

As for my personal ministry I have never counted the cost. I have been no respector of persons.

My audiences average from 3000 to 10,000 people every time I preach. I am preaching all the time, and my holidays are few and far between. Dur- ing all these yeare I have had trouble of a personal nature but once. Then I was assaulted by the Mayor of Palestine, Tex., because of the criticisms I had publicly passed on hig administration. We met at the depot, and he hit me two or three licks with a walking stick before I could take in the situation. Being unarmed, I borrowed his stick just long enough to convince him that no files could light on him while I wielded the stick, and after the procession began to move. The next day one of his friends asked him why he hadn't taken a bigger stick to Sam Jones. “Bigger stick?’’ he cried out. “My God, man, he came near killing me with the small one!” He hit me on the right cheek first, and then upon the left one, Having thus com- plied with the scriptures I ealled in to a finish and to a fare you well, But fighting is the last resort of a decent man. Then it’s the dog on top. “It’s a dog's delight to bark and bite, for ‘tis their nature to.” When a man stuffs a pistol in his pocket ts defend his character, then I know he has no character.

That means a great many pungent words are to be spoken in St. Louis in a way they were never spoken before and:a wonderful rattling among the ary theological bones. When Mr. Herron speaks he says things, As often as not they are things which a great many people do not like to hear said because they indict. He comes telling the churches they are playing at Christianity. “Back to Christ” is his cry. Mr. Herron is Professor of Applied Chris- tianity in Iowa College at Grinnell, Io., an author who enjoys a wide audience among the thoughtful and a lecturer of great power. His writings and utterances dur- ing the past five years have brought him into a national prominence. Strenuously, but without a trace of bitterness, he ar- Taigns selfishness and proclaims the need of a new Reformation. Storms of ecclesi- @stical protest have broken about his ears often. They do not disturb him nor em- bitter him. “A message ts given unto me,” he says simply. “I oannot do other than proclaim it.” He preaches ‘‘the larger Christ.” He as- Serts the right of the Savior to rule su- preme in all the affairs of life—intellectual, Social, commercial, political and ecclesias- tical, : ' He conceives the mission of the churches to be to redeem the world instead of a few individuals out of the world. But first he proposes nothing less startling than the eonversion of the church itself. He says: “I do not believe that ecolesias- tleal Christianity is the Christianity of Christ, or of the first three centuries before thé church adopted a pagan social system @nd put Greek metaphysics in the place of . Righteousness. “I do not believe that even Protestant Christianity knows what Christianity is. "I do not think that the pulpit knows what Christianity ts, because that which is taught in the theological seminary is no: Christianity, whatever else it may be. “I am reluctantly coming to believe that ‘Christianity, as it is organized, is the most Serious obstacie in the way of the realiza- RIST!” IS THE THIS STARTLING IOWA EVANGELIST. lish a divine society of human relations— not to translate men to Heaven, but to translate Heaven into the associated life of men. “I fear that the church of to-day occupies SA | ~~ CRY OF exactly the same position.in relation to the Christ who is being rediscovered that the Jewish Church occupied to the Christ who spake to the multitudes in its temple at Jerusalem.” GEORGE D0.

One of Prof. Herron’s most recent books is called ‘The Christian State,” with “A Political Version of Christ’ as a gub-title, These are a few of the passages which shed light on his views: “The mission of the State is not fulfilled, but rather begun, In the liberty of the indl- vidual. Liberty is but the means to the 4i- vine social end,’ “Every distinction between the nature of the moral law and the nature of the law of the state is an evil imagination and a political fatuity. “One does not need to throw dynamite bombs to be the destroyer of society and an anarchist in fact; he need only be a law unto himself. Our social troubles are largely due to our exalting property te the place and rever- ence that belong to human beings in the enactment and administration of law. “The church was not sent to build up an institution of religion that should be more holy than the world, but to permeate and possess all the world, the world’s people and institutions and machinery, with the holiness of Christ. “When we try to make the messages of God to a dead people take the place cf the messages of God to a living people, we sro the embezziers of spiritual funds, and have caused the Bible te separate the people from God.” Through the efforis of Rev. Frank G. Tyrrell, N. O. Nelson, F. W. Crundan and some others, Frof. Herron will speak in St. Louis next Sunday for the first time He ls expected to arrive Saturday and remain until Monday. The details have not been completed, but he will speak once at Rev. Tyrreil’s church MACON, Mo., Jan. 15. Special to the Sunday Post-Dispatch. HERE is a picturesque character in + attendance at the Hannibal District Conference M. E. Church, in session here this week, in the person of J. H.

Even what is known ae the lower class and people of the half world have the greatest respect for Mr. Cox, because when they become acquainted with him they find in him a most charitable critic and a really sympathizing friend, one who honestly de- sires to lift them up to better ives.

This ie not because he is tolerant of the whisky traffic, for he is Its most inveterate enemy, but he believes in suppressing it by appealing to tho better nature of the individuals engaged in it and trying to shame them. He inva} riably ¢alls the saloonkeeper “brother.” On one occasion, it is related, he picked a drunken man out of the gutter, marched him to!the nearest saloon and hailed and a public meeting will probably be ar- wzanged at some down-town hall. dispens¢r of auld chear. “Come out J. H. COX, A PICTURESQUE MISSOURI brother; your sign post has fallen down.” During the sensational crusade against the liquor traffic by the ladies of Spickards- ville, Grundy County, some years ago, Brother Cox was in the thick of the fray. In their overzeal the ladies invaded the sa- loons, rolled out barrels of first-class whis- ky and emptied their contents into the streets, in spite of the protests of the thirsty on-lookers who hated to see a good thing wasted. The ladies were arrested and ordered to appear in the Circuit Court, On the day the cases were set for trial Mr. Cox led a tremendous procession from Sp*tk. ardaviile into the county seat. There were banners with all sorts of cold water de- vices and bands playing “Shall We Gather at the River.” It was like the invasion of a victorious army rather than a crowd of ea people who had been called to account by an offended law. Mr. Cox's tall, gaunt form loomed up in the midst of the crowd and he was wiidiy’ cheered on all sides. He closed a stirring speech to the crowd as follows: “If we cannot run the towns of this country without the aid we get from the saloons jet me say to you in the lan- guage of Pope, ‘Dear, damned, distracted town, good-by! ” The sentiment was so strong in favor of the crusaders that nothing ever came of EVANGELIST. the prosecution.

When He Is Negligent the Asy- lums Fill Rapidly, Say St. Louis Physicians. LOVE DIES, INSANITY COMES. Ninety Per Cent of Human Mad- ness is Due, It Is Claimed, to the Miseries and Excesses of “Single Blessedness.” LET BACHELORS AND MAIDS BEWARE. UPID Is the foe of insanity. This fact 3 is vouched for by physicans. Some even go so far as to claim that the negligence of Cupid heretofore is responsi- ble for 90 per cent of the insanity now ex- isting. Ail single folk, some aver, are in constant danger of the madhouse. An Eastern physician advocates a law com- pelling all persons to marry between the ages of 19 and 2 years, although In special cases he would extend the limit to 35 years. He declares that a young man without the restraint of marriage is a standing candi- date for a padded cell. Dr. Edward C. Runge, superintendent of the St. Louis City Asylum for the Insane, Bays: “We have no means for getting at the precise figures on insanity in the United States,’’ said Dr. Runge, “a fact which I regret exceedingly. I can only quote the records of our own institution, and they seem to bear out the assertion that matri- mony Is the foe of insanity. “In 1896 there were admitted to this asy- lub 234 patients, of whom 69 were unmar- ried men; 38 unmarried women, 50 married men; 46 married women, with the remain- ing 31 about evenly divided between widows and widowers. “However, I must confess that I do not agree with the physician who believes men should marry between the ages of 19 and 26, Nineteen years, I cons-:der, is below the de- veloping age of men in this country, and the divorce court records prove that the greater per cent of unhappy marriages ara those made before the developing age In either the man or woman, or both, has been reached. That age for men in this climate, I should say, ig about the 2%th year. But as there is danger in marriage below the de- veloping age, so is there just as great dan- ger in late marriages. It is very easy to see why marriage is a great safeguard against insanity. It is a restraint, an anchor. Marriage means a responsibility, and it means an escape valve for worry. Sympathy lLIghtens grief, and worry and grief do more toward filling the madhouses of the country than all other combined causes. “A married man hag something to think about—a great deal to think about, the comic papers would have us believe—and this same sense of responsib.lity keeps him from being what you might call ‘flighty.’ A young man without the steadying influences of a family, unless he is vastly different from most other young men of these bust- ling end-of-the-century times, is irritable and restless.

PHILIP WM. PAUNTLEROY. Postmaster Carlisle when shown the above communication said that the postal authori- ties had mever countenanced any such schemes and the orders quoted were not issued by the Postmaster,General. “A year and a half ago the Government did indorse a letter box made by the Pos- tal Imprevement Co., Dut it did not ga any one must adopt it,”’ Mr. Carlisle said. “It merely said the box was a good one. The box has never been offered for sale in St. Loulse. We cannot reach the ‘United States Standard Letter Box Co.’, for they do not uge the malls for advertising their goods or making their deenands. f they do, then’ we can get at them.

KULM, 8S. D., Jan. 15.—Alex Hellin eays it’s time to call a halt when marriage, as well as government, is regulated by injunc- tion. He was the victim of such a proceed- ing recently. He loved Lena Pruisner, the daughter of a wealthy Ruegsian farmer near Kulm. Lena returned his affection, but her parents said Hellin was too poor t® make a desirable son-in-law, and chose Nick Ba- m A. J, Ar A Ay £y & .

Lena’s heart broke at once, but she hesitated to disregard the parental] wish and finally agreed to accept the man she didn’t love. A few days before the wedding Pruisners learned that Hellin planned pay- ing their daughter a final viait in the hope of inducing her to elope with him. An in- junction suggested itself to them as the readiest means of preventing such a meet- ing. One was secured from the nearest magistrate and a copy was eerved on Hellin, As was to haye been expected he _ disre- garded it. He met Miss Pruisner off her father’s premises, but the injunction cov- ered a meeting anywhere on the face of | the globe and an officer, who was prowling | in the neighborhood on a hint from the the an order of the court. When he was finally released—for no attempt was made to pun- ish him for contempt—Bataglea and Miss Pruisner were married. Many people think the justice who issued the injunction exceeded his authority and an action for damages may be commenced against him. IS SHE MRS. MIX? Young Mr. Mix has taken the only step possible under the circumstances. He promptly sent telegrams to a Providence at- torney asking him to investigate the situa- tion and in the event that the ceremnony ‘8 found to have been a legal marriage to take steps to have it annulled. When that te done—and Mr. Mix is cer- tain there will be little delay—a private wedd ng will be solemnized at 361 Campbeil avenue and Henry Collier Mix and Maude Evelyn Shaw will repeat the premises they made as an eloping couple at Buffalo N. Y., Thursday, Jan. 6. Mrs. Mix—it wil) at least shortly be her name—is a winsome, pbright-faced girl, slender of build and blonde of complexion.

The preacher said he could not erform the ceremony outside of Harnett ‘ounty and wag about to leave the dis- appointed couple when suddenly the bride, after inquiry, declared that she had mas- tered this obstacle. The county line was just in tr@it of the house, so the couple stood on the porch and the minister was yeaces across the county line, where he loudly shouted the marriage ‘vows and listened while the assenting }echoes came back to him, PENTECOST MISSION, -_-—--- --- - ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY VERY DEVOUT PEOPLE HELPED AT ITS DEDICATION, THE FULL BIBLE DOCTRINE. That Is What Is Taught and the Lay- ) ing On of Hands Is Believed In as a Healing Measure. To the stranger who accepted the invita- tion «mnblazoned on the windows of 2823 Easton avenue and entered the building last night the scene and subsequent actions of the majority of the persons assembied could not fail to be of lasting memory. The small bill thrust into his hand an- nounced the dedication of Pentecost Mis- sion, on which occasion “‘the full Bible doc- trine will be taught. Jesus our Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King.” Into the long, narrow room, dimly lighted by a half a dozen flickering lamps, 150 as devout people as abide on earth were crowd- ed, The supply of separate chairs gave out early in the evening, and the late comers were shown to seats improvised by placing a.smoothly planed board across stool sup- sorts. The duty of usher fell to a good- looking young man with a ee collar and the politeness of a Chesterfield. Reference io the handbill showed that the leaders of the services were to be Rev. T. BE. Ryan and Sister Heten V. Vickers, who have been eminently successful in mission and slum work. After a song from the ‘‘Triumphal”’ hym- nal, Mr. Ryan announced a solo, This was sung by a young woman of good voice and created great enthusiasm, which found ex- rreseion.in loud “amens’’ and fervent hai- elujahs.”’ Mr. Ryan again came to the front and announced two prayers in one by Brothers Morgan and Jordan. The former eloquent- ly besought divine heip “for the missions in- stead of the saloons.’ eT nis touched a popular chord and the | exclamations of fervent endearmen: for a moment drowned the voice of prayer. Brother Jordan took up the strain, His words were given with much vigor and fell | heavy on the audience. As he, progressed In | his supplications the uneasinéss in the con- | gregat.on became more apparent, and final- ly, following an impassioned climax, a Vvi- ley of hallelujah cries burst forth. Mrs. Vickers ascended the restrum when the congregation arose from ite Knees. Bhe | announced that she would sing an old song | and would ask that the auditors join in he chorus. She is a eweet-faced woman In the middle | and her eyes beam benevolently | ; es, “Rioom at The organ prelude to her so’o, she gave a good old Methodist shout that in a song He had nothing those who give and Another prayer that ended who but expected to gave it out that those were not ber that the affairs of God needed money The rattle of coins In the hats indicated that the preacher's philosophy was of the practical result-produc.ng kK nd. , Rev. Mr. Ryan introduced Mrs. Vickers as the principal speaker of the eventing. After a few preliminary remerks upon her firm conviction that the true Pente- costal spirit was manifest in the mission, Mrs. Vickers read from her Testement a ,omtion of the sixteenth chapter of 8t. ark. ar Scriptura] reference to the healing of the .sick by the laying on of ~~ bie SUBURBAN PROPERTY FOR SALE. 14 words oF less 2c.

SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST_DISPATCH—JANUARY 16, 1898. ARE PRODIGAL TWINS. 'TO MEET AT SEDALIA ! REJOICING OUT ON EASTON AVE- NUE, FOR CHARLES AND JAMES ARE HOME AGAIN. MEANS BOYS’ EXPERIENCES. Went Into the Country to Make Their Fortune and Tramped Home the Third Day. Charles and James Means, twins, 16 years old, ran away from their home, 6316 Paston avenuc, Tuesday to see the world, and as the fun they wanted, and on the third day did the twin prodigal gon act. The boys took with them a rifie, not to fight Indians with, but for the unromantio purpose of sale for the means of getting a start in the world. The gun brought # at forced sale, and with the proceeds the boys went to St. Clair, Mo., 62 miles on the Frisco road. One dollar of their fund was left. farmer gave them shelter the first night, and next morning, after a substan- tial breakfast, they started out full of hope. But it was cold and dismal. The country roads were bogs. The fun was not so fast and furious as they hoped it would be. They tramped around all day and ap- pled for work. No dne wanted the gen- teely dressed, refined looking city lads. They did not seem to be suited for farm life. They could not get anything to eat, elther. At every farmhouse elther dinner or supper was over or not begun and to- wards evening they made for the railroad to seek shelter. They found it In an empty Sox car. Thursday morning they decided that they had plenty of fun for one time, and de- cided to returm home. They started at 8 o'clock and walked the railroad ties. How their feet ached as they plodded wearily along! They were awfuily hungry, too. By 8 o'clock at night they had tramped 35 miles, and had reached the Suburban station of Valley Park. The depot was open and they decided. to camp there. Next day they watched their chances and man- ee unobserved to get in an empty box car of an incoming freight train. About 2 o’clock Friday afternoon they showed up at home. Were the prodigals welcomed? In- deed they were. Whena Post-Dispatch re- porter called about an hour afterwards the whole family was rejoicing. Little brother was there, and “Why, Mister, I done cried so night they went away I[ slieep.’’ The big brother was ‘‘jollying’’ the runaways, asking them if they had met many Indians and how many buffalo they kiiled Big sister was happy, too, and the mother, well, any mother will know what her feelings were. She had passed three sleepless nights in tears the days in anxious waiting. She ‘had ap- plied to the police. She had done every- thing and could only wait. Now her boys had come back and her joy was too great to admit of words of blame for her run- aways, who were glad enough to be back, and were cured of a desire to wander again, he sa'‘d: much the cried myself to lows, With much persuasion they showed themselves in a shamefaced way. ‘There Wis a tinge of romance about their esca- pade. If they were not tmbued with Indian fighting ideas, their plan was at leaet some. | what Quixotic. “We had read of the rich man in York,”’ said Charite, “who sent his son out as a workman to-ro out and learn for him- self what it was to be poor and make his own way in the world. Well, we had that idea. But we had to come home to get a row 3 of coffee. We only had one cup of coffee all the time we were gone. I guess Wwe are safe to stay home for a while, any- way. “Charile even gave up his good job to go,” eaid the mother; but she had no words of blame. She regarded it as ai useful escapade and saw the humorous side of it. The attitude of the family was explained by her closine words. “They were always the pets of the family. they did not come home. We are all too @iad they are back to scold them.” WR RUTLEDGE TOLD HARPER A Cincinnati Attorney’s Affidavit Filed in a Divorce Case.

DELEGATES FROM ST. LOUIS. ‘Subject of Traveling Libraries Will Receive the Most Attention by the Gathering. The thriving city of Sedalia will have the honor of entertaining from Jan. 19 to 21, inclusive, one of the wealth.est and most | this town to become the guests of an in- | terior city. | The occasion will be the annua] meeting of the Missouri State Federation of Wom- |}en’s Clubs. | Two years ago representative women from the various clubs of women in this State met in convention at the Union League Club, this city, and organized a federation by which the aims and progress of all should be canvassed and encouraged and mutual helpfulness engendered. Mrs. Ph.I- ip N. Moore presided over that meeting and Mrs. John A. Allen was elected President. Under the rules adopted at that time no person can serve longer than two years in the presidency, and, accordingly, Mrs. Al- len will retire at the close of the conven- uuon in Sedalia, The Federation now contains 8 clubs, 17 of them .n St. Louis and 4% in Kansas City All women's clubs that have for their ov- jects the encouragement of humanity are admissible to the Federation save mission- ary, political and denominational societies.

About twenty ladies will represent St. Louis at the Sedalia Conventions among them the following: Mrs. George F. Durrant of the Isabel Crow Kindergarten; Mrs. Dr. Fischel of the Emergency Aid Society; Miss Florence Forbes of the Alumni Associations; Mrs. Dean Cooper and four associates, represent- ing the musical clubs; Mrs. Edwin Harri- 60n, Mrs. William L. Hughes, Mrs. W. W. Boyd, Mrs. A. B. Gregory, Mrs. Henry Meier, Mrs. Innes Hopkins, Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Eilen D, Lee, representing the Wednesday Club; Miss Louise Wayman of the Query Club, and Miss Mamie McCulloch, superin- tetndent of the kindergartens. ' On the evening of Jan. 2 the programme at Sedalia will be particularly interesting. J. R. Kirk, State Superintendent of Public Schools, is expected to address the federa- tion on “Clubs and Education,’ to which Mrs. Laura E. Scammon of Kansas City will respond. Miss McCulloch of St. Louis will talk wise.y and well about kinder- gartens, and Prof. Picard of the State Uni- versity will deliver an instructive speech. But one subject which seems to interest ‘the delegates most is the inauguration of the “Traveling Library.’ This is a move- ment established several years ago by Mel- ville Dewey in New York, whereby 50 libra- ries have been gathered together in that State by women’s clubs and are now being town to town, so that all The scheme was so successful that it rin Wisconsin where ie with the woman’s aries for circulation. the lumbermen joi clubs to buy WO lib In lowa the people were so proposition that the Legislature appropri- -._-| ated $,000 to ald the women in furthering New | ; the cause. “Here in Missouri,”” says Mrs. Allen, “we have alfeady the beginnings for the travel- ing isbrary. Mr. N. O. Nelson has contrib- uted four complete libraries as a starter, and we are ready for business. The Wednes@ay Club has handed me $100 for the Mrs. Van Blarcom has sent me her check for $100, and others have promised to do likewise. Understand, I am not golicit- ing subscriptions.

These libraries are formed of from 2% .to 100 carefuily selected books by standard authors, They are packed in boxes which when opened form a cabinet or case for their reception, Whenever two or three ladies in any town or community—in the absence of a regularly organizéd club—make application for a }i- brary of books, they are called trustees. One of their number is chosen librarian, whose duty it is to receive and issue the books to the public, under rules similar to those of public libraries, These ladies for- not » ward to headquarters the sum of $2.50, |be used in paying transportation. no other expense.

NEWS THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS WILL MEET WITH HEARTY APPROVAL. ECHOES OF THE BANQUET. ‘Some of the Ideas Advanced Will Be Made to Bear Fruit—Agents’ Weekly Reports. ‘ The constant theme .of conversation in Real Estate Row since Thursday morning has been the real estate dinner at the Mer- |_cantile Club Wednesday night. Among the | 200 realty dealers who were present were many who do not come in contact with ‘each other except on an occasion of that | kind, and many warm friendships that had grown cold were renewed and many were the hearty handshakes and cordial greet- ings. But few of the larger firms were not represented. The discussion along the street has been on the ideas advanced by the gentlemen who answered the toasts as proposed by | Chairman F. W, Mott.. Some gtrong ideas were advanced and it is entirely within reason to believe that gome of them will bear fruit among the agents and in the transactions of the Exchange. President E. B. Wolff gave statistics that were eye-openers to some of the agents }and his report of the saies and loans that ‘had been closed on the floor of the Ex- change was surprisingly large. The Mayor made the hit of the evening. His evident earnestness and determination to work reforms that are demanded by the real estate interests so impressed the ban- queters that they gave him a hearty round of cheers. The Mayor promised that if the and sewer buildings were pushed and passed he would see that there would be spent not legs than $25,000,000 on etreets and | sewers the first year. This brought forth a storm of applause. The movement to make the special tax for sewer ana street improvements payable in five antiual in- stallments meets with the universal appro- val of the real estate fraternity. They feel that the making of streets and sewers tends to at once enhance the value of adjacent realty, yet they know that property owners will always hesitate about asking for the improvements as long as the payments ‘must be :-mmediate. It is promised that the Real Estate Ex- change will take the matter up as a body and push it before the Municipal Assembly as one of the most important bills for the advancement of the city that has been brought up for many years. Breckenridge Jones of the Mississippi Vai- ley Trust Co. spoke of. real estate loans, and why they are not handled by National banks. The idea is advanced, however, by a well known agent, that Mr. Jones did not excuse the local State banks for their ex- treme conservatism in cutting down the lines of credit of some of the largest ag s. This agent maintains that the banks Gre holding back the progress of the city by re- fusing to lend money on good real estate security—on property that is above criticism when viewed as collateral. With more lib- erality, shown in a perfectly safe manner to the banks, there could and would be an era of building in St. Louis this spring that would be eclipsed only by the record of Assessor Fredericks’ speech at the ban- quét contained one clause that is much ap- preciated. He stated that the real estate men had been the instruments that brought to this city millions of dollars for inves- ‘ment purposes. Mr. Fredericks showed that there were now 110,000 town lots in St. Louis. as against 86,000 in 1887; that there had been an advance in the values of local realty of $55,000,000 as assessed, during his term of office; that the total advance in local as- Sess values in 10 years was $115,000,000; that there had been an increase in the number of local taxpayers from 27,688 in 1867 to 56,904 in 1898. All of these facts, as shown in the won- | derful progress of the city, were deeply in- teresting to the assembled agents, but none . More so than the increase of 29,216 in the | ‘Paddy Brennan” { | ‘ ' 'will not see. | ‘explains’ the Arcadian advantages of living |on dirt roads free from noise, exempt from | the use of muddy city water, also from the will take an active interest in thie move- | ment and that it will have the ee ment of the newspapers and of public- spirited men and women.” RECEIVER STONE'S REPORT Collected $390,027.23 of Mullanphy Bank Assets, Disbursed $365,274.39.

William Hicks of 3637 Michigan avenue and William Layman of 3639 Michigan ave- nue were arrested yesterday as the after- math of a fight about a dog. Layman accused Hicks of trying to shoot Layman's dog, but Hicks told Layman that he (Hicks) had tried to shoot his own (Hicks) dog, and had no intention of in. juring his (Layman’s) dog. Then somebody started something. A hatchet and a billy were used, and the men were a sorry sight when arrested. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Pure 18k. wedding rings. Our prices the lowest. E.

GENERAL CONDITIONS GOOD. Granger Stocks Being Between Crops Are Off, but Vanderbilt Properties Are Very Much Stronger. Special to the Post-Dispatch. , NPW YORK, Jan 15.—The stock marke Was exceedingly active this morning, and at the open’ng of business there was quite 4 flurry in prices, which might be regarded as a logical sequence of the break in prices the last hour of business yesterday. The su perficial explanations of the weakness were the expectation of an unfavorable Supreme Court decision in the maximum rate i and the tense state of this country 5 a lomatic relations with Spain by reason © the chaotic state of affairs in Havana. Ex- cept in a few cases, adequate support mr entirely missing from the market, thoug occasional and sporadic rallies due to the covering of short contracts were noted. am the early dealings Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, the Atchison issues and People's Gas showed comparative steadiness, but they were unable to withstand the common tendency of the market. London pr.ces showed that market disturbed by the same influences which were effective here, but the actual dealings here for foreign account were upon a small scale. Sugar Refining, which was one of the active features, con- tinued very weak, and Manhattan also de- clined sharply. After the. publication of the bank state- ment there was a perceptible diminution of pressure, and some fractional recoveries were noted. Trading at the close was act- ive and rather feverish, with general de- clines throughout the list. The consolidated banks’ statement would seem to indicate even greater ease in the money market. | : The week’s stock market has been active and jn the main firm. Clear evidences of the shifting of specuiative interest from old to new groups of stcecks have been notice- able. Thus the granger shares, which were the leaders of the market in 1897, have bare- ly held their own on no more than a moder- ate volume of business, wh'le stocks iden- tified with the Vanderbilt name have be- come active and strong. The same qualifies have been shown in a notable degree by Union Pacific and Northern Pacific issues, and for a number of reasons the securities of these roads offer great attract-ons to speculators. A third group of stocks, which likewise show advances this week, are the 4ocal street railway shares, with Manhattan the leader here. In all of these cases there have been reasons more or less specific for the particular course taken by the stocks named. So, too, the hesitating tendency of the granger shares is not difficult to undergtand. After having had a noteworthy advance in the past year on conditions which largely increased the earnings of these companies they now rest between two crop seasons. For some time to come stocks must continue to occupy a sort of half-way position between tne investment and speculative classes of se- curities. Considerable attention has been directed toward the shares of the Vanderbilt prop- erties, which have been conspicuously strong and uncommonly active. In the case of New York Central the satisfactory progress of the refunding operation has offered a tangible explanat on of the course of that stock. Lake Shore’s similar opera- tion has progressed even further, and the stock of the company is somewhat nearer the benefits which will accrue from the saving in interest charges. No plan for the refunding of the high-rate Michigan Cen- tral bonds has as yet been promulgated, but one may be expected before long. This com- pany has matur'ng in 1902 $8,000,000 7 per cents and has $2,000,000 5 per cents due the same year. Extended at 4 per cent, this would be an appreciable saving on the $18,- 733,000 of the company’s stock. Aside from these material points, moreover, there is reason to believe that a new spirit is be- ginning to influence the management of the Vanderbilt lnes, and that as a result the stockholders may. look for better things in the way of net earnings. The personal equa- tion in the case is a member of the family in question (W. K. Vanderbilt), whose en- ergy and ability have been pares ad- mitted, but in recent years they have not been occup'ed exclusively with business af- fairs. There are abundant evidences that this gentleman is concerning himself more closely with the affairs of the companies identified with his name, and favorable re- sults are anticipated therefrom. Unfavor- able comments have been made upon the general polcy of the management of the New York Central as contrasted with that of the Lake Shore Co., and it is believed that the personal influence in question will be largely directed toward bringing the standard of the first more in line with that of the other. The week’s rumors growing out of the un- usual activity tn these stocks, to the effect that a physical consolidation of these vari- ous properties was contemplated, are not credited. At any rate, the course of these securities in the market has been among the potent influences in the speculative situa- / tion and must be regarded as noteworthy, aside from what may prove to be the real significance thereof. The purchase of a con- trolling interest in the Oregon Short Line Co. for the account of the Union Pactfice was announced this week, which has fur- ther stimulated the speculation, as it js expected that all the Northwestern and transcontinental lines will profit largely through the rush of business in the sprin to the new gold fields in the Kootenai an Klondike countries. In order to allow the American roads to compete profitably with the Canadian lines for this business, the Interstate Commerce Commission has sus- pended the long and short haul provisions of the act on traffic consigned to those sec- tions. } An essential element of strength in the situation is the rapid return of the money market tv easier conditions. The Union Pacific payments were completed last week, and the Government has been a large dis- burser of money by reason of the January In addition the local bagkKs are now gaining largely froen the intaplor, the week's receipts on this account béing upward of $3,000,000. while the shipments of currency are a negative uantity. The banks still hold $38.000,000 of yovernment money on account of the Union Pacific settlement, but it would not be sur- prising if the state of the money market drove them to surrender at least a part of the amount, as their profit ceases with re- duced interest rates. Many trustworthy judges of the money market have been sur- prised at the rapidity with which rates have fallen. The bearing of this fall on the ae- ¢urity market and on the several refunding schemes and large projects of business con- now pending is, however, plain. Reports collected upon the strength of the country’s trade are on the whole encourag- ing, and the correspordence of bankers in this city with their clients !n various sec- tions teHs a story of healthful business con- dit‘ons. The tron trade, always accepted as a re- liable indication of the state of general business, is particularly active.

"ISSUE OF FRAUDULENT TICKETS | SANTA FE RAILROAD OFFICIALS CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SWINDLED. A SUICIDE IS RECALLED. _Intimated That the Death of Walter Young Was Due to His Being Fearful of Exposure—Ambs Makes a General Denial. August IE. Ambs, whom Judge Murphy | fefused to hold Friday afternoon becauso _@ St. Louls Sheriff had arrested him on a | Warrant sworn to in St. Joseph, Buchanan | County, was rearfested yesterday afternoon and taken before Judge Fiitcraft, where he id not fare so well. The charge against Ambs is that he sold fraudulent tickets over the Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe road. Deputy Sheriff Troll, who arrested Ambs Friday at Twenty-first end Market streets, telegraphed the fallure of the attempt, and ' Deputy Sheriff Charles B. Davis of Buch- a@nan County came at once to St. Louis to do the work as Judge Murphy seemed to think !t ought to be done. Yesterday after- noon Sheriff Davig found Ambs at 2220 Wal- mut street, where he does a ticket scalper's business. Ambs accompanied the Buchanan County deputy to the Four Courts, where the prisoner was treated with as much con- sideration as they ever accord bank-wreck- ing presidents in Ludlow Street Jail. He Was given an easy char in Deputy Jalier Will Wagner's office while friends went out to get attorneys. They engaged David Goldsmith and Simon T. Bass, who accompanied Ambs before Judge Flitcraft. The attorneys filed a writ of habeas corpus, which Judge Fliiteraft made returnable Monday morning, while he took the matter under adv-sement. Ambs was remanded to jail in charge of Deputy Sheriff Davis, but instead of being paced in a cell he was again permitted to pass the afternoon im the Deputy Jailer’s office, Ambs was cautioned not to speak to newspaper reporters by his attorneys, and he conversed pleasantly upon all topics ex- cept his arrest and the charge against him. He told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that he had been living tn St. Louis for a year, and that he was born in this city, and had lived Here all his life, saving three years which he spent in St. Joseph and Kansas City. The charge against Ambs recalls the sut- cide of Walter Young, who was city pas- senger and ticket agent in St. Joseph for the Santa Fe Rallroad. He killed himself three years ago by taking arsenic and it was supposed at the time that his suicide — on account of treuble he had with his wi e. Later the ratlroad company discovered that a large number of. fraudulent tickets were being sold in St. Joseph. They were on the books as having been sold by way of nopens. to points In Kansas, but when the ticket coupons came in they showed that they had been used to points in California, the South and as.far-ae New York. It is charged by the officials that Ambs plaeed the tickets im a bank in St. Joseph as collateral security before he left the city. He was unable to redeem them, they say, and the bank was seliing them through an- other ticket broker. The theory is that there Was a conspiracy to rob the rallroad company by means of these tickets and that Young killed himself because he feared dis- covery. The extent of the fraud is not known, as it came from an unexpected source. The fraudulent tickets were kept in the bank more than a year before they were put on the market again. Young’s accounts were found apparently all right after his death. bs says he knew Walter Young well, Dut he denies that he was im any way im- plicated in the causes which led to Young’s guicide. “T was in Kansas City when Walter killed hirnself,”” said Ambs to a Post-Dispatch re- porter, “and anyone who intimates that I Was connected with {ft is a liar. “T have nothing to say regarding the rail- road's charges, except to declare my in- nocence,”’ NEWTON CRAIG'S HOODOO. Three Dogs Named Bob Go to the Happy Hunting Ground. Newton Craig, a gripman on the Broad- way Cable Line, thinks he ls hoodoed. Craig lives at $118 South Seventh street, and is very fond of water spaniéls. He had one named Bob, which was presented to him Xm and Bob was one of thé most intelligent of Bis race. He spoke for his eo0d. stood on his hind legs and did many tricks, Thursday morning Craig found Bob tn the back yard with both forelegs broken, and rather than see it suffer he shot it. Craig resolved to get another dog and got it. He yrougnt it home with him Thursday night and made a bed of straw for it in the woodshed, Friday morning he thought he would see how his mew dog, which he had also given the name of Bob, was get- by Wage oe but when he entered the door of the shed, lo and behold, Bob II. had given up tho ghost and was stiff and cold ‘in Geath, Craig secured a third spaniel Fri- day. He brought it home and gave it the game straw bed that Bob II. had occup'ed. ig named the dog Bob III., thinking that the npumber three would break the mysterious cause of itiness. When Craig opened the door of the woodshed Saturday Pans he could not believe his eyes. Bob Il. was as dead as any of his predecessors. Craig says he cannot explain or assign Cause for the dogs’ death. DEPUTY TROLL’S PRISON PARTY Among the Eightcen Was Krey, the Express Company Embezzler.

The Casket Was of White and Gilt and There Was an Abundance of Flowers. Joe H., alias “Foxy” McDonald, the foot- pad who was killed by George Graham, the wienerwurst peddler, was buried yesterday afternoon from the family residence. But no matter what he was considered by the police, he had been a loved son and brother and a dear friend to many, and they met there to console those left behind and pay what respect they could to a memory. The coffin was of white, handsomely em- bossed and trimmed with gilt plates and handles. The floral pieces were exquisite. In the center rested a wreath of delicate ferns, surmounted with white immortelles and bearing in purple flowers the inscrip- tion, “Our Brother.” At the head wag a beautiful design of a white dove with out- stretched pinions, bearing a leaf in its beak and hover.ng over a wreath of costly ferns, evergreens and lilies. At the foot was a third piece and the three almost concealed the top of the coffin. The house was crowded with mourners, sympathizing friends, neighbors and 4ac- quaintances, the majority being women, A crowd had gathered outside and at nearly every house on both sides of the streets the occupants had their faces pressed to the window panes or stood at their doors shivering in the falling snow, but filled with the consuming morbid curiosity to see the body borne frem the house. The pall-bearers were six well dressed, strapping, decent looking young fellows. The “pals” of the dead footpad were con- spicuous~by their absence. A group of (ough-looking young men, only two of whom wore overcoats, the others dressed in threadbare clothing and shivering with cold, stood outside. They followed the body to the church and as théy entered—one re- marked: “Gee, but its a long time since dis gang was at church.” The rest laughed in recognition of the joke and one said he was at church one Easter in the indefinite past, it required 19 carriages to convey the funeral party to the church, Services were held at the Rock Church, on Grand avenue. The body was met at the door by a priest and acolytes, bearing candles. Siowly they preceded the coffin to the altar, while the mourners and curious spectators sought seats, The services were brief. The priest mut- tered a prayer and the acolytes swung the incense censors. The pali-bearers bore their burden again to the hearse. The mourners re-entered their carriages. ‘‘Foxy’’ McDon.- ald was carried to his last resting place in Calvary Cemetery, his body covered with the emblems of love and purity. HERMAN NELSON'S GOOD HEART. It Causes Him to Trust a Tramp, Who Is Now Elsewhere. Three weeks ago a tramp in tatters knocked at the back door of Herman Nel- son's home, 2860 McNair avenue, and asked for food. Nelson took the tramp in and af- ter feeding him gave him clean clothes and offered him work, which he accepted. Nel- son also allowed him to sleep at his house, The tramp said his name was James Maloney, He seemed very grateful. Nelson is a vegetable vender and every morning he and Maloney would go to the Soulard ‘Market with produce and Maloney would alWays turn over all of the money he had taken in. For this reason Nelson trusted him. Yesterday morning they were at their usual piace on the market and Nelson gave Maloney $10 in change in case Maloney migat need it. Maloney soon complained of having cold feet and asked if he could go to Bart’s saloon, Eighth and Julian streets, to get warm. Nelson consented. Three-quarters of an hour passed, but Ma- loney did not return. Nelson made a thor- ough search of Bart’s and the neighboring saloons, but Maloney could not be found. Now the police are looking for Maloney, MRS. COHN’S SUDDEN CALL —--?>----—- The Last One Caused Cohn to Bring a Divorce Suit. According to the petition for divorce filed yesterday by Bennett D. Cohn he was de- serted twice by his wife, Sarah. The two were married in Paducah, Ky., Feb. 15, 1891. For a time they lived happily together, the husband showering gifts upon his wife. Business took him out of town while the honeymoon was yet young and, he says, he returned to find his home deserted. The young wife, with all of her fine jewelry and costly clothing, was missing. April 5, 18%, Cohn was in St. Louls. He met his wife on the street and a conference followed. She declared she had been sud. denly called to her home in New York and was then visiting relatives here. A reconciliation followed and the Cohn home was re-established. Last July, Cohn says, his wife again deserted him, taking everything she could conveniently carry. He believes that she has gone Fast again and in his petition for divorce asks for the custody of three smal) children. WILL FIGHT HODSON’S WILL Niece and Nephew Allege Undue In. fluence and Unsound Mind. Josephine F. Webb and Frank J. Webb brought suit yesterday against Mary F. Brendle and James F.

THEN HE BIT HER HAND. Policeman Who Was Called Made Light of the Occurrence and Said It Wasn’t Worth Reporting. Mrs, Robert Constable of 705 North Fif- teenth street does not look like a heavy- weight pugilist, but she made a burly negro burglar glad to drop his plunder and escape from her house Friday afternoon. Mrs. Constable is a mild-mannered woman of rather weak physique and average size. She wears glasses, has a soft voice, and speaks excellent English with something of a Boston accent, She is modest and retir- ing, but she has true courage and is able to defend herself. “I was down in the basement,”’ she said, ‘when I heard footsteps upstairs. I paid no attention, thinking the noise was by a man who had ccene to fix the clock, I went upstairs, not to see who it was, but to ascertain the time by my waich. 1 saw a negro in the back room, rifling the bureau drawer, He bad a box of jeweiry, the con- tents of which were worth about jo0, anda traveling satchel. “When he saw me he tried to escape. He raninto the thall toward the front door. l siezed him and got a firm clutch on his throat. I did not know what strength my hand possessed, but I nearly strangied him. I nearly got the best of-him, but somehow he wriggled loose and got the thumb of my right hand between his teeth. He sank his teeth deeply into the flesh and bit a piece entirely out. The pain was so great I was forced to cease my efforts to ho.d him. He made his escape out of the front door, but he dropped everything he had except a pocketbook which had nothing in it but some papers. The joke of it was that my old pocket- book had the money in it and he did not touch it. The other was a new pocketbook and I suppose he thought it contained money, “A policeman came around that night and after hearing the particulars said it was hardly worth while to make a report of it, as the man had taken nothing of value. He volunteered the advice that the thing to do was for people to keep pistols in the nouns and shoot these burglars and thieves own.”’ “T told him,” said the woman’s husband, “that in my opinion for a man to break into a house and attack a woman in that way was enough of itself to warrant a re- port and some effort belng made to catch him. The negro was well dressed and wore an overcoat. : “My wife, in spite of the excitement, took good note of him and gave the police a good description. She would be able to identify him if he should be caught." Dr. Yarnell is attending to Mrs. Con- stable’s lacerated thumb. He gives it a dressing daily, as he thinks there is a possibility of blood poison setting in, and it is necessary to watch it closely. The hand is bandaged and has given the plucky little woman considerable pain. The negro an entrance through the front door by means of a key, It is thought. A new night lock has been put on.

Loot Charles Van Studdiford’s Home of $1000 Worth of Valuables. The police are looking for the burglars who rode around the West End fn a cab early yesterday morning and robbed the residence of Charles Van Studdlford at 4462 Maryland avenue, getting $1000 worth of jewelry and bric-a-brac. They cut a hole through the panel of the kitchen door, loot the lower floor and went up stairs. Mrs. Van Studdlford heard them at her bedroom door and cried out.

There are 36 schools in that district, which covers the business part of town and reaches to the city lim‘ts. The first complaint reached the Mayor last Thursday, and Saturday Schawacker reported at the Mayor’s office that the side- walks and crossings to 26 of the schools had been made dry with cinders, and the other ten would be in the same condition Monday morning.

Water Commissioner Holman was made President Pro Tem. of the Board of Public Improvements yesterday to serve in the absence of Presa.dent McMath, who is with the Good Streets junketers. Mr*® Holman announced that in deference to Mr, Mc- Math ne ordinances would be his absence. This t an in- ipgioner Doctor Copeland closed with the conclud- ing days of the year the $% period and the period of uniform fixed rates, as stated in the public press. He appreciates that with the emphasis which he thought it best to lend to the announcements of its closing, the inference to-day with the public would be that he had raised his fees so high that none but those of abundant means could ob- tain the advantage of his school of prac- tice, Because this inference would be natural enough, it is all the more necessary that it be corrected at the outset and that the cor- rection be so plain and clear that there can be no misunderstanding about it. The departure from a one-jee plan to a system of just and adequate charges for different diseases, a departure made neces- sary by the wonderful growth of the Cope- land practice and by the wonderful advance that it has made in the treatment of ali diseases, is not a raising of rates. Doctor Copeland has discontinued the $5 rate, yet ne does not want his patients or the public to think that in the confidence born of the great crowds who have thronged to him during these concluding days of the year he has suddenly ra‘sed his fees beyond the reach of the people who have contributed to make his practice the greatest numerically ever known. . | —_ And it Is to protect this practice from the | natural inference that the fees are raised so high that tnose people tn ordinary c-r- cumstances cannot be treated that tHis statement is made. It is no bid for busi- ness. Doctor Copeland says to the people that this practice has reached such enor- mous proportions that the old rules and methods are outgrown, that the wonderful Discovery of the Cure for Deafness which has attracted to these offices thousands of people from al] over the country who had never heard of the practice before; that the development of this new system of treatment which has brought into cém- munication with the offices thousands who perhaps have never read published testi- monials before; that the thronging crowds representing all diseases and all types and forme of disease have rendered it absolutely unjust and impracticable to continue to all the people an abso utely uniform rate with- out working Injustice to many. There ars some whose slight ailments of a simple catarrhal nature, ‘for instance, can be cured for a trifilng cost. There are others whose deep-seated diseases requ more continued work, and the system of uniform fees, popular as it has been, is to- day, with the wonderful increase in prac- tice, no longer practicable. This, then, Is the announcement which Doctor Copeland } makes with the beginning of the new year. DOCTOR COPELAND’S NEW YEAR MESSAGE. The New Methods Better Adapting the Practice to the Needs of Peo- pleof Moderate Means--Trifling Ailments, Simple Catarrhal Con- ditions, to Be Treated at Trifling Cost, Poor People Free and the Seriously Sick at Fees Commensurate With the Skill Required. FIRST—Recognizing the unwritten law : of the profession that people who have no | money are entitled without pay to the best medical skill, the Copeland physicians will treat absolutely free those who are unable te “~ pay : SECOND—The Copeland physicians «> tend to all, as they always have, a cordial ine vitation to visit their offices, and on thelr first visit to receive a trial treatment abso- lutely without cost, without pay, or without ' obligation to pay. ‘This invitation has been maintained for many years in this practice. THIRD—All those people who have slight or trifling ailments, purely Catarrhal conditions, easily capable of speedy cure un- der the new methods, will be charged only a trifling fee. They will be practically charged for the cost of the medicines which they use, while those who have difficult, obstinate or serious diseases, requiring especial and long» continued care and attention, will be charged a moderate fee commensurate with the care and attention they need. Upon This Platform Two Years Ago the New Treatment Was Given to the People. IT IS TO BE NOTED Regarding Doctor Copeland’s New Treatment— 1. Thatit is radically different from any treatment or method which has ~~ Mrs. Mary G. Nearen, Collizsviile, Lil, Cured of Deafness and Ringing Noises by Doctor Copelan ever been given by the profession. 2. It is radically different, both in remedial nature and method of appli- cation, from Doctor Copeland’s earlier method. 8. It is in no sense a *‘spray;” has nothing in common with application by ‘‘sprays.’’ 4. It involves practically two discov- eries—one in chemical combination and onein manner of application. IT IS CLAIMED In regard to the New Treatment— 1. That by the New Treatment all the good results possible under the old method by ‘‘sprays’’ are accomplished. 2. That disease in the remote locali- ties which ‘‘sprays’’ never touched are reached and Cured bythe New Treat- ment. , 8. That, whereas ‘‘sprays” in un- skillful hands often drove diseas6 into the ears, or scattered it to the lungs or stomach, such results are impossible under the New Method. 4. That by the New Treatment alone the cure of Deafness, Bronchial Dis- eases, Asthma and remote Catarrhal conditions is made certain. 5. That the New Treatment cures in from one-fourth to one-half the time required under the old method. G6. That, although the method of treating Catarrh bythe use of medi- cated sprays, introduced years ago by the Copeland Physicians, and exten- sively adopted by other doctors, cured a great many cases, and was the best known upto Doctor Copeland’s time, it had serious faults, which the New Treatment has remedied, 7. That the New Treatment is the fulfillment of the promise Doctor Copeiand made in his earlier work, to discover a positive and absolute cure for Diseases of the Air Passages, and that just as surely as the treatment his early work developed is in general use by the professson to-day, so the New Treatment will be the Treatment of the future. These were the claims printed In the pub- lic press two years ago when Doctor Cope- land’s New Treatment was given to the pro. feasion. Read week after week the record of curea accomplished and ece whether these claims have been made good. Go and see these people whose names and ad- dresses are given. They say they have been either permanently relieved or absolutely cured of disease, gr deafness, or suffering, or sickness. Go and see them Hear their stories circumatantialiy. The proper course for sufferers is thie: Read these symptome carefully-over, mark those that apply to your case and bring this with you to the Copeland offices. If you live away from the city, send them by mail and ask for home treatment.

McKenzie Made $37,000 Last Year and Dealt With Big Roads. 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 of 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. > said that 8. F. Feeley of Chica- goand P. E. Dow of New York did not rep- resent the 350,000 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- jority of these travelers were in favor of the pending bill. He thought !t absurd to suppose, as Messrs. Dow and Feely would have the committee to suppose, that the hundreds of thousands of commercial trav- elers could not make arrangements with the rallroads as favorable to themselves as the ded thousand ticket brokers could make for toem, Mr. McKenzie, ‘the Chicago broker, then resumed his testimony. He presented af- fidavits from various ticket brokers in Chi- cago, St. Louls, Boston, Louisville and other cities setting forth that they had purchased tickets directly from the authorized agents of raliroads and in some cases receiving commissions thereon. In reaponse to inquiries by Senator Cul- liom, Mr. McKenzie named among the lines with which the had done busines@ in Chica- 9. the Big Four, Chicago & Great Western, *hicago. urlington & Quincy, Chicago & iA?ton, Union Pacific, Monon Route, Wis. consin Central, Canada Pacific and Rock Island, He was unable to afford the com. mittee details and particulars concerning the business done with those lines. Senater Elkins inquired what the annual volume of Mr. McKenzie’se business was and he replied that it aggregated last year $660, - 000. “You say,” eaid Senator Elkins, “that in 189% you did a business aggregating %$69),- 000; now, what was your profiton that busi- ness?"’ “I will say,” eald Mr. McKensile, “that fn that year we—my partner and I-—had five offices. Our aggregate business was $1,39),- 000 and our net profits about $37,000." JUDGE LONG’S PENSION. Claim Made That It Cannot Be Le- gally Reduced. WASHINGTON, D.

HANNIBAL, Mo., Jan. 15.—There ts con- siderable interest manifested among some of the druggists In Hannibal regarding the grand jury’s investigations.

TlYere are about thirty saloons in Hannibal, Waich pay a revenue of $30,000 a year to the city, county and State, while the drug stores pay scarcely any revenue, and unless this question is thoroughly investigated and the druggists who sell whisky are made to pay the same license that the saloon men pay there will not be a half dozen saloons in Hannibal that will continue to do business. The grand jurors are commerded by all law-abiding citizens for the work itn which they are now said to be engaged.
