St. Louls is not to lose Christopher Von der Ahe after all. President B. Stewart Muckenfuss of the Browns will get the dethroned boss out of hock as soon as he can’ raise the necessary $2700. From Mr. Muckenfuss it was learned that the kidnapping of Chris Von der Ahe at the St. Nicholas Hotel Monday afternoon by Detective Bendel, was one of the most dar- ing, an@ most cunningly laid, and at the same time one of the simplest coups ever planned by clever lawyers and executed by ‘a nervy sleuth. Two weeks ago Mr. Von der Ahe received @ létter from William A. Nimick, who was the Wt. Louls man’s Pittsburg bondsman when\a judgment for $2700 was rendered agaings Chris in favor of Mark Baldwin, the bas%ball pitcher. Mr. Nimick, so Presi- dent Muckenfuss says, expressed himself in the friendliest manner in the letter and as- sured his old crony, Von der Ahe, not to worry about that little affair concerning the Baldwin judgment. Chris was immensely pleased at this trib- ute of friendship. He declared Nimick a ince, and sald he knew all his old friends dn’t gone back on him. _ The second foxy move of the masterhand BR Ts @ WILLIAM A, NIMICK.

A few minutes after 6 o’clock Mr. Von der Ahegeft Sportsman’s Park on a Cass ave- nue »to keep his dinner engagement at the St. Nicholas with Mr. Smith. Chris pewpnres: an extra toilet for the dinner, so e insured himself unwittingly the comfort of fresh linen on his unexpected jaunt to the smoky town. The parting words of the magnate as he swung out of the Sportsman’s Park saloon were directed at Muckenfuss. “I'll be at your house at 10 o’clock,” said Von der Ahe, “‘to tell yot all about Smith.” Muckenfuss waited at his home on St. Louls avenue until nearly midnight. He retired, firm in the belief that Smith must be a rattling good fellow and was giving the old man such a swell time at a course dinner with champagne and such trim- mings that Chris didn’t have the heart to break away. In the meantime, while Muckenfuss was wondering, C. Von der Ahe, Esq., was chaf- ing and perspiring. on an east-bound train in charge of Detective Bendel, while R. B. Scandaett and Arthur Fording of Pittsburg, ‘Mr. Nimick’s attorney’s, and the represent- ative of a Pittsburg morning paper sat plac- od in the seat opposite, puffing choice cigars. The act of kidnapping was gone through with so much haste thet Chris didn’t Have time to resist. It was a surprise, so unex- pectedly sprung that the Von der Ahe brain whirled and refused to grasp the situation. As Chris walked up the winding stairs of stone in the St. Nicholas vestibule, with his mouth fixed for dinner, @ stranger met him just outside the front door. In reply to the stranger’s first question, Chris admitted that he was Chris, and when the stranger eaid he had important business with Chris, Chris flew into one of the celebrated Chris. tantrums, The hotel porter and the liveried footman on the sidewalk were attracted by Von der Ahe’s violent Gaptosion of wrath. They gathered around the irate German and the detective. Von der Ahe expostu- lated and threatened the detective with the direst of fates. He protested that he was at the St. Nicholas to have dinner with a guest of the hotel, his old friend, Mr. Smith of New York. At this the hotel porter and the footman exhibited nervousness and might have gone to Von der Ahe’s asistance had not the de- tective sung out: “It’s all right, I am Mr. Smith and will talk business before we go to dinner.” Bendel backed the base ball magnate down the stone steps gently, and before Von der Ahe was aware of it he was standing on the curbstone. A closed carriage was drawn up only a few feet distant. It was an ordinary hack, drawn up to the curb as if the-driver were awaiting a fare, “Get in here,” carelessly suggested the suave Mr. Bendel. . Glad enough to get away from what might result in a scene, and never suspecting that the carriage was one engaged: by Bendel for the occasion, Von der Ahe stepped inside. Bendel jumped in afterward and waving his hand at the coachman the carriage rolled west on Locust street, The signal for the coachman to drive back to St. Louis was given after half an hour had been spent in bowling over the streets in the North End of the city. At 7 o’clock the. carriage passed on the bridge from the St. Louis end and for the first time during his enforced drive Chris realized that the detective meant just what he had said—that he was going to take Von der Ahe to Pittsburg, a. city in which Chris has transacted all of his business for four years by a proxy. . As the carriage approached the Illinois md of the bridge, Chris found his lungs nd. he bellowed like an enraged elephant. e yelled murder and cried for help until i bridge watchman ran up, and seizing the dies of the horses, forced the carriage to a standstill. Von der Ahe shouted iéleaged, Tt as well for the abductor that the interference came to pass outside the State ot Missouri. In the first place the de- tective\ had the bail writ upon which he on der Ahe’s perqon to show the Watchman, who not being a quibbler upon “common law,’ decided at once Was properly a prisoner. In the second place if the watchman had been dis- posed to @id Von der Ahe he would have met as an obstacle the fact that the pris- oner was taken in Missouri and not in IIli- nois, pertiog the matter beyond the watch- man’s jurisdittion. When the bridge watchman withdrew and Chris saw his\last hope vanish, he set up another noise Which fairly made the Fads — ee on its foundation. He swore and he kicked and he yelled, but it did him no good. Bie Was wearing a pair of handcuffs in partmership with the detective, andit waz useless: for him to try to escape from the cariage. \ But the hubbub\ he was creating made It advisable for th® carriage to be driven out of the way of furious policemen, and the driver proceeded .to make for the out- skirts of town.

A VICTIM OF MELANCHOLIA. GOT POISON FROM THE DOCTOR’S MEDICINE CLOSET WHILE HE WAS OUT OF THE ROOM. HUSBAND FOUND HER DYING. > The Amount of Poison She Swallowed Would Easily Have Killed Thirty-Five Healthy ote ‘Men, et Death from morphine poisoning was the Coroner’s verdict in the case.of the tragic suicide of Mrs. Calla Door Dausman, wife of Dr. H. 8. Dausman of 1110 Chouteau ave- nue. The drug was secured from the physician's medicine closet during his temporary ab- sence from the room. It is estimated that 400 one-eighth grain tablets were taken. A dozen would have proven fatal. From the statements of her husband, Mrs. Dausman was the victim of acute melan- cholia that was rapidly developing into more pronounced form of insanity. Last summer the unfortunate woman visited friends in the country, and it was shortly after her home-coming that Dr. Dausman first noticed the depression of spirits that presages melancholia. His wife never spoke to him of misfortune or referred to any emotional incident. She always declared that her visit was one of the gayest events of her life. Her domestic relations were most hap and none of the different physicians w tended her can ascribe any reason malady. She was naturally vivecicus, which served only to intensify the despondent moods that came cver her so frequently the last four months. The conviction that some domestic dis- aster was tmminent could not be shaken, and at last, despairing of the efficacy of his own skill, Dr. Dausman called in Dr, Louis Houck. That was four weeks ago. The change of treatment seemed to revive the drooping spirits of the patient, but the novelty wore off in time, and she relapsed into her old ways of despondency. Last week Dr. C. R. Ray was cosulted, and upon his advice Mrs. Dausman was sent to the Baptist Sanitarium. In 48 hours she begged her husband to take her home, which he did. She asked to be placed in the St. Mary’s Infirmary, and arrangements were being made tocarry out this request when she took her life Mon- day. Dr. Dausman says his wife spent a very restless night Sunday, and was very weak Monday morning. When she preferred to remain on the sofa in his office, while hs was at breakfast, he though? nothing of the incident. In the office 1s the dector’s medicine closet, the key to which is kept in hiding. While her husband was absent Mrs. Daus- man found this key, unlocked the closet and seized the poison first at hand. It was a four-ounce bottle of tablets, containing morphine, astropine and camphor, The des- perate woman swallowed the contents, locked the set and replaced the key. She hadJust regained the sofa when Dr, Dausman entered. She said she was sleepy. This was welcome news ‘to the physician and he darkened the room and gave orders that she should not be disturbed. He retired to the back par- lor. Ten minutes later he had occasion to go into the office, and as he passed the sofa glanced down into the face of his sleeping wife. The white skin was turning purple and the lips were swollen and discolored, while the breathing was in difficult strained gasps. In an instant Dr. Dausman divined what had happened. Dropping to his knees he sought to arouse his unconsclous wife, but the poison had deadened every sense. Once she opened her eyes, stared vacantly in his face, and closed them forever. From 8 o’clock in the morning until 9 Monday night she lay in this stupor, never stirring. Her breathing was less difficult ‘and when the end came the watchers at the bedside failed to note ft, so quietly did the angel of death claim her. Everything that medical skill could do was done to save this nfe, but she had taken enough poison to kill at least 35 healthy men and science could not over- come the effects of the deadly drug. Drs. Hauck, Fry, Mardorf, Neuhoff, Me- Candless and Bremer responded to Dr. Dausman’s call and remained in his home throughout the day. An emetic revealed | _the nature of the drug, and the empty pot- to } the watchman that he was being kidnapped | iano demanded that the officer order him |! tle was soon discovered in closet. No one, except the doctor, had access to this chest, and Dr. Dausman believed none knew the hiding*place of the key. He thinks. now that his wife had been contemplating suicide. and had watched him while he worked among his medicines. Mrs. Dausman, before hér marriage two years ago, was Miss Cella M. Dorr, daugh- ter of a merchant at Patriot, Ind. - She met Dr, Dausman while on a visit to her sister, Mrs. W. A. Brasher, 1442 McCaus- land avenue. The doctor is a son of the late Henry Dausman, at one time a member of the firm of Liggett & Dausman, tobacco man- ufacturers. No children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Dausman. Arrangements for the funeral Thursday have not been completed. THE WEATHER FORECAST.

Pretended autonomy has been offered by Spain and refused by the Cubans in arms, The Spaniards as a war measure, burned the homes and drove the women and chii- dren (since known as concentradoes) into fortified towns, where some of them have been starved, others have been murdered and women and children have been de- bauched and treated beyond the power of language to describe. Daughters of insurg- ent soldiers have been sold into houses of infamy and boys of tender years have been shot as spies, under the form of civilized war. American citizens have been driven into the towns and refused an opportunity to work and left to starve, as a part of the Spanish war measure, until we were com- pelled to take, by appropriating funds of the people of the United States, large sums of money to feed and rlothe our citizens and to return them to our sountry, and now has the Spanish war measure of concentra- tion continued . so. fam that. «the. coneen- tradoes g@ge unfed and starving, naked and filthy, in 80 much that disease and death is among them and has spread into our own country. Hundreds of thousands have perished in this way and by this means. The unholy work of exter- mination goes on, the slaughter of inno- cents and non-combatants goes on, the flag of truce has been abandoned and ex- termination or independence of the insur- gents must be the final outcome, The people of the United States are sending money, food and clothing to Cuba to aid the dying Cubans which ought to be furnished by Spain, for the reason that the concentra- does are the legitimate wards of Spain, having been put in their present starving condition as a Spanish war measure and their care would de- volve upon Spain and would so be regarded by every civilized nation in the world. Un- der the present charity seeking of the ad- ministration charitably disposed citizens of the United States cannot contribute money, medicine, food or clothing to the insurgents in the field or hospital and should any at- tempt be made to do so, it would be cap- tured and prevented by order of the Gov- ernment of the United States.

The outbreak in India is referred to and the bravery of the British and native troops commended. Her Majesty rejoices at the fact that there is reason to anticipate a prosperous vear, both for agriculture and commerce, throughout India. To the House of Commons the speech says: “The estimate which will be laid before you have been framed with the utmost de- sire for economy, but, in view of the enor- mous armaments now maintained by other nations, the duty of providing for the de- fense of the empire involves an expenditure beyond former precedent.” Deal'ng with the proposed legislation, the speech from the throne says that measures will be introduced for the organization of a system of local government in Ireland, substantially similar to Great Britain’s, to secure the increased strength and efficiency of the army, amend the present conditions of military service, to enable accused peo- ple to testify in their own defense, to facill- tate the creation of municipalities in Lon- don and to prevent recognized abuses in connection w.th church patronage.

Probable Attempt to Rob the House of James Lyons. James Lyons, collector for the Terminal Railway, living at 3311 Compton avenue, be- lieves an effort Was made to rob his home Tuesday morning. A tall man called at the residence and asked to see Mrs. Lyons. He -introduced himself as being a clerk in the employ of the Terminal Railway Co. and said that he had been sent on a woeful errand. He said that Mrs. Lyons had better prepare for the worst. “Your husband was run down and Killed an hour ago by a switch engine at the Main street station,” he said. Mrs. Lyons became hysterical and pre- pared to go iruamediately to the bridge of- fice, where tne stranger said the body had Mrs. Lyons told her mother-in-law to stay at #iome and watch for her little son Walter when he returned from school. The stranger left and the wife soon after followed, going down town, She went to the office of the bridge super- intendent, and with tears in her eyes she asked to be told the particulars. One of the clerks led her to where Mr. a was stationed. He was alive and well, Meanwhile the stranger had returned to the Lyons residence. This time he was armed with a note to Mr. Lyons’ mother. It was written upon a Terminal Railwa letterhead, and in a feigned trembling hand, supposed to be that of Tirs. Lyons. ‘‘Mother, come down at once; John is dead,”’ it read. The old lady became suspicious of the Signature. Her daughter-in-law did not usually sign herself ‘‘Mrs,’’ The stranger’s anxiety made her further suspicious. She fully intended to go down town, but to get the mysterious man away from her door, she thanked him, saying that she could not leave the house alone. She said that she could not go unt!1 Walter re- turned from school.”’ “I will go and notify the child,” said the Stranger. “Let me in the house and I will write a anes little mote to his teacher,’”” the man said, “In this house! You will not place a foot in here,’ and the aged lady quickly closed the door. She was half sorry for what she had done when Mrs. Lyons returned with her husband, a little later, expecting to find everything in the house stolen—or some- thing more terrible. Mr. Lyons believes that had the stranger been permitted to enter the house when his mother was alone that he would have possibly killed her and robbed the place. The matter was9 reported to the Second District Police Station, and a search fo man is being made, es CAN KEEP THEIR OLD MONEY. China Abandons :he Idea of Raising a Loan. ST.

ZOLA’S BOLD ACCUSATIONS. The prosecution of M. Zola is due to a scorching letter issued Jan. 1s. It was headed “I Accusé,’’ and was addressed to M. Faure, President of the Republic. In it M. Zola said: ‘“T accuse Ideutenant-Colonel du Paty de Clam of having been the dia- bolical worker of a judicial error, unconsciously I am ready to believe, and of then having defended his ne- farious doings for the past three years by the most absurd and culpa- ble machinations. “T accuse Gen. Mercier of being the accomplice, at least through weak intelligence, in the greatest iniquity of the century. “T accuse Gen. Billot of having in his hands the certain proofs of the innocence of Dreyfus, and of having suppressed them, thus rendering himeelf gulity of treason against hu- manity and justice, for a political reason and in order to save the com- promised staff. “IT accuse Gen. de Boisdeffre and Gen.

The outcome of the case may be far-reaching. It is now generally admitted that the pow- er to which Dreyfus is supposed to have sold army secrets is Russia. Germany for a long time was thought to be involved and then Italy was mentioned. Both these powers, however, have emphatically denied that they have ever had any transactions with Drey- fus. Russia maintains silence and her un- communicativeness is believed to amount to guilt. ' It is the knowledge of this fact which has paralyzed the ‘French Government.

EL TO VEARS OF SHAME, John and Mary Patients at the City Hospital BOTH HAVE SEVERE WOUNDS. THEY FOUGHT IN A DINGY ROOM AND EACH CUT THE OTHER. A RAZOR THE WEAPON USED. McMahon and Mary Henry Quarreled Because of Jeaiousy and Strug- gled for the Possession of a Keen-Edged Weapon. For three years John McMahon and Mary Hewey lived together. Monday night there wWas a quafrel, a fight and the man and woman made desperate efforts to end the life of each other. Mary is in one ward at the City Hospital with a gash in her throat that nearly proved fatal. John is in another ward with a wound the counterpart of Mary’s. The man cut the woman and the woman the man. Mary and John have each a story to tell, but they agree only on minor points. Dis- sipation has left its impress on the face of both, though Mary is but 2) and John 24. The woman doubtless once possessed a face that was fair, but it is hardened now and she talks of her career without hesi- tancy. The man has a magnificent. phy- sique, but he admits that he was too strong to work and was content to live off the earnings of the frail little woman who he pulled down to his level. They were taken from a squalid room at 612 South Second street late Monday night nf the police. The police feared they would die before medical aid could be reached. ‘“‘McMahon cut my throat last night and tried his best to kill me,’’ Mary Hewey told a reporter. ‘Jealousy is what made him do it. For three years we have lived together, and in. all that time he has done nothing forme. 1 make no pretenses to being a good woman. But it was he who made me what Iam. He was content to live off my earn- ings. Perhaps I would not have rebelled if he treated me kindly. But he drank and beat me cruelly. “For some time I have teen keeping com- pany with Tom McGuire. A week ago I told McMahon I would thave no more of him. I told him to.go and for a week I did not see him. Last night he came back and wanted to stay. “He raised a quarrel about McGuire and in a few moments the became angry and rushed at me with a razor. He slashed at me and struck me in the neck. Then I got his weapon and cut him. We were sepa- rated by some one who heard us. / “IT have only been in the city thr@ée yeays. I was born in Pittsburgh, Ill., and was an innocent country girl when I met McMahon. JOHN M’MAHON AND MARY HEWEY. would be wildly indignant at the idea of their friend and ally obtaining French mili- tary secrets by means of bribes and spies. So great would be the disgust that the alll- ance would probably be in danger. Thus the Government has to prevent the truth coming out at all risks. It is therefore im- possible to produce the real evidence, which would br.ne out clearly the fact that Rus- sia was employing a system of erpionage in France, and equally impossible to order a new inquiry. As is so often the case in France and elsewhere, a woman is at the bottom of the affair. Dreyfus confided the secrets to a woman, possibly without any knowledge to what use they were to be put. From her they found their way to the Russian government. Dreyfus himself received no money for the sale of the facts and is probably innocent, so far as knowingly giving information to a foreign power is concerned. When first the military au- thorities began to investigate the case they believed that it was Germany which had bought the information. When they dis- covered their mistake; taney still made be- lieve that the power was Germany, in or- der to divert suspicion from the right quarter and to keep up this fiction Zola is being prosecetes and if possible he will be punished and the facts kept concealed. et —- ete aie ~ ~~ os Highwaymen on Wheels.

At 8 o’clock the carriage was seen stand- ing in front of an undertaker’s establish- ment at St. Louis and Collinsville avenues by School Treasurer Dan Sullivan and Joseph Nestor of the Nester & Obear glass works. One of the carriage doors was open and the occupants inside were plainly seen. Mr. Sullivan thought the carr'age repre- sented an eloping party, and was on the point of remarking to the driver that the party seemed lost and might want some di- rections about reaching the depot, The carriage was observed by a number of other citizens of Bast St. Louls. As it halted in front of the Baltimore & Ohio Depot the station employes noted there was something mysterious and strange about the party. Von der Ahe and the detective passed up and down the platform, the mag- nate damning everything and everybody up hill and down dale, while the detective was as stolid as a factory emoKestack, Von der Ahe then seemed to quiet down and when the Pittsburg train from Union Station slacked up for passengers Chris offered no further resistance, but stepped aboard with the remainder of his party. ‘ It is understood that the final details of the plot to steal Chris and force him to go back to the city whose baseball players are known throughout the land as “Pi- rates,’’ were arranged Monday morning in the law office of W. C. & J. C. Jones in the Laclede Building. The Messrs. Jones were attorneys for Mark Baldwin, when the puanes was imprisoned by Von der Ahe uring the year of the Brotherhood-Na- tional League trouble, Bendel and the two Pittsburg lawyers arrived in St. Louis early Monday morning and put up at the Plant- ers’ Hotel.

Jones and then laid before him the plot to abduct Von der Ahe. If there were any legal ob- jections urged by ‘Mr. Jones they certainly were not acted upon. W. C.

Mgr. Walsh Denounces the Lads and Lassies. THEY ARE A REBELLIOUS SECT. VETERAN PRIEST OF 8ST. BRIDG- ET’S DOES NOT AGREE WITH ARCHBISHOP KAIN. HORROR OF STREET PREACHING Catholics Warned That It Will Be a Sin to Participate in Any of the Salvation Army Mestings. Mer. William Walsh, pastor of St. Bridg- et’s Church, denounced the Salvation Army at the 8 o’clock services Sunday, contrary to Archbishop Ka!n, who has heartily ap- proved the Salvationists’ work. “Some of our parishioners, especially the young folks,’’ the Monsignor is reported to have said, “attend meetings of this new rel'gious organization and openly counten- ance the violent heresies preached. The result is they gradually fall from the path of true Christianity. Listening to stupid people attempting to exopnd doctrines of which they are absolutely -ignorant is like the gullible farmer who falls a prey to the sleek talk of a confidence man, “I do not wish to be harsh on our Sal- vation Army brothers and sisters. They may be right on temporal things; certainly their intentions are the best. But granting this; no Catholic can conscientiously. lend assistance to their so-called spiritual devo- tions, “We have decisive rules governing the participation of a Catholic in Protestant prayer meetings. It is asin, and a grievous one, The Salvation Army is a rebellious sect, as well are the Methodists, the Baptists or the Presbyterians. In fact the hysterical preaching of these people on the public street is a blasphemy upon our Saviour."’ To a Post-Dispatch réporter who called at St. Sridget’s parochial residence, 1103 -North Jefferson avenue, Tuesday, Mer. Walsh said: ‘: “Yes, I expressed my opinion of the Sal- vationists and street preaching in general. am aware of the Archbishop’s letter to Maj. Miles, and, while I may not agree with is Grace, yet there can be no conflict be- tween us, a8 it is purely a question of pri- vate judgment. The followers of Booth are, in the main, densely ignorant. The chief at- traction of ithese religious faddists are the banjo and the tambourine. Men and woman gather to listen to their hysterical preach- ing soley from idle curtosity. “Do_1 believe the Salvation Army accom- lishes ‘any good? No, I do not.

Once more comes the assurance from Ohio that “no one credits the idea that he (Boyce) was an agent of President McKinley or that McKinley was directly interested in the bribery matter.” - Of course, President McKinley was not directly Interested in the bribery matter. It is absurd to suppose that President McKinley formally au- thorized Boyce or- any other agent of bribery to consummate a deal™ But will President McKinley cut loose from all the men concerned in legislative bribery? Will he repudiate every deal in connection with the senatorship contest in which the power of ap- pointment is concerned? If the President affiliates with the men who make corrupt deals or profit by them and per- mits his power to be used in the consummation of corrupt bargains, he is a party to them and is responsible for the consequences. A President who connives at corruption pro- motes corruption. A President who lets his pow- er be used for corrupt deals is a partner in cor- ruption.

Sheriff Martin and his deputies are on trial for a violation of law, fcr an abuse of power which resulted in the deaths of several miners. The question at issue is “he justification of the action of the Sheriff and his deputies—did they have sufficient cause for the shooting of the striking miners? It is purely a question of justice and the en- forcement of law. If the conclusion of the trial is shaped by the money and influence of the mine owners and operators or by the political weight of the miners’ vote justice will fall and there will be increased hostility between labor and capital, another ob- stacie to progress and fresh incentive to law- lessness.

Does the Hon. Nelson Dingley realize that the country has risen to a point of interrogation con- cerning his “London” hat? When the Hon. “Sockless’”’ Jerry Simpson ex- posed the “London’”’ marks in Mr. Dingley’s hat the great “home-made” statesman insinuated that the “London” mark was saometimes placed iu bats made in America. In other words, Mr. Dingley evaded the charge that he was a traitor to the home market by insinuating that Ameri- can hat manufacturers are guilty of fraud. It is impossible to get at the truth without knowing all the facts about Mr. Dingley’s hat, Tne country is entitled to know whether Mr. Dingley or the American manufacturer is guilty and the dealer who sold the hat can give the information. , Mr. Dingley, “Where did you get that hat?” A, Le, > ~~ se The circulatton of The Post-Dispatch last Sunday was 115,773.

We can than perhaps know if the dealer is a swindler and put a false mark in Mr. Dingley’s hat, or if the hat is actually of British manufacture, as is charged by the sockless statesman of Kansas.

YOU KISSED ME, You kissed me! My head Dropped low on your breast With a teeling of shelter And infinite rest, While the holy emotions My tongue dared not speak Flashed up in a flame From my heart to my cheek. Your arms held me fast: O, your arms were so bold; Heart beat against heart In their passionate fold. Your glances seemed drawing My soul through my eyes, As the sun draws the mist From the seas to the skies. Your lips clung to mine Till I prayed in my bliss They might never unclasp From this rapturous kiss. You kissed me! My heart, And my breath, and my wilt In delirious joy Yor a moment stood still. Life had for me then No temptations, no charms— No visions of happiness Outside of your arms. And were I this instant An angel possessed Of the peace and the joy That are given the blest, I would fling my white robes Unrepiningly down, I would tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown, To nestle once more In that haven of rest— Your lips upon mine, My head on your breast. You kissed me! My soul, In a bliss so divine, Reeled and swooned like a drunken man Foolish with wine. And I thought ‘twere delicious Tq die there if death Would but come while my Ips Were yet moist with your breath; "Twere delicious to die If I might grow cold While your arms clasped me round In their passionate fol. And these are the questions I ask day and night : Must ry lips taste no more Such exquisite delight?

I served the government for a number of years in the capacity of a government detective and profess to know all the ins and outs of this business, and this being true, I am most positively opposed to any increase for this appropriation for this purpose, for the reason that some of the greatest crooks and most scoundrelly blackmailers, paupers and bur- glars are now in the government secret service, and the City of St. Louis has not been exempt from their damnable conspiracies to extort money from the innocent. We have a case in this city where the detectives, so-called, went in and plundered and robbed, getting jewelry, diamonds, etc., all under the pretense of running down counterfeiters. An innocent lady is now serving a term in the Missouri Penitentiary, a victim of a damnable plot, and I stand ready with the proof and challenge an investigation. have now thoroughly investigated this case and I stand ready to swear to the facts and prove the woman's innocence and fasten the guilt where it belongs; or, if I fail, I am willing to serve the rest of my days in the penitentiary as a pred of the failure. I refer to the case of Mrs. Dr. Adela Walters. That she is innocent and the victim ef a dark and most contemptible conspiracy know, and I have the positive proof, and will, if given an opportunity, swear to the above facts. The government detectives (not all, but some of them) must find counterfeiters and secure some vic- tims, and if they are not smart or honest enough to catch the real crooks, they plot a scheme and lay their meshes for an innocent victim and then unscrupulousy work for conviction. The convic- Mrs. Walters was a damnable conspiracy from beginning to end. I state this as a fact. and I challenge an investigation. 3 ALEX WATSON (ALIAS “JIMMIE BRUNELL”). New Jersey. No Right to “Kick.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am engaged to a nice young man who comes to see me regularly, but never takes me to @ theater of which I am very fond. He says he cannot affor it. Now I go to the theater without him and pay my own way, to which he objects. Do you think he has a right to “kick?” ) fae © St. Louis, Parsing the Word ‘Kiss,.” To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The word ‘‘kiss’’ may be parsed as follows: Kiss is a conjunction, because it connects. It's a verb, because it signifies to act and to be acted upon. It is a preposition, because it shows that the per- son kissed is filo relation. It is an interjection (at least it sounds like one), and is @ pronoun, be- cause she always stands for the noun. It is also a noun because it is the name of the osculatory action—both common and proper; second person necessarily; plural number, because there is always more than one. In gender it is masculine and fem- inine mixed. Frequently the case is governed by circumstances and light, according to rule one: “T¢ he smite you on one cheek turn the other also.’ It should always begin with a capital let- ter, be often repeated, continued as long as possi- ble and ended with a period. Kiss might be con- jugatec, but ought never to be decline 68 I am ready to prove it, "ho can beat the above? GRAMMARIAN, t. Leuis. A Question of Veracity. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

Someone recently advocated the building of cheap board sidewalks by owners along their frontage on unimproved streets as a temporary measure of re- lief against the terrible mud nuisance. That’s it exactly. If we cannot have the whole loaf, give us a few crumbs of comfort in the shape of cinder paths, second-hand plank walks or even a few old stones or bricks or sticks to save us from being reported in the list of “mysterious disap- pearances.”’ -s Many St. Louls owners are altogether too inde- pendent regarding the interests of renters In the neighborhood of their property—surely a pennywise and pound foolish policy from a real estate stand- point.

Only One $20 Gold Piece of ’49. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to Judge Zimmerman’s find of a $20 gold piece, mentioned in your last evening’s issue, either the judge was mistaken in the date or Uncle Sam’s collection of coins has been touched, as the mint records show only one $20 piece struck in 1849, which has always remained in the Govern- ment collection. Being a pattern piece, and the only one in existence, its value is priceless. Clayton, Mo. COIN COLLECTOR. A Fortunate Missouri City. From the Savannah (Mo.) Democrat. The City of Savannah owns her own electric light plant and runs more street lamps than Maryville, a city three times as large, which buys her light from a private corporation. She only charges three- fourths as much to private consumers as Maryville people pay for incandescent lights, and yet the in- come from our plant gives the city our street lights practically free.

Similar observances had beep inau- rated in the North, with no special unanimity. ay 5, 1868, Gen, John A.

If a com- parison is to be drawn, her Imogene this season is the more satisfactory. Miss Mather’s portrayal of King Cymbeline’s daughter is evidence that even an unusually talented woman cannot get into harness, as the saying goes, after a lapse of three or four years in luxury and idleness, and be the same finished actress she was before she retired from the stage. In every way, Miss Mather now evinces the benefit accruing from ‘her years spent in hard work.

Erie Jockey Club hag failed to raise that $60,000 loan, and pursuant to an order granted by Judge Fitzgerald, Judge of the County Court of Welland County, Ontario, in a proceeding under the me- chanics’ and wage earners’ act of 1896, the grounds of the Fort Erie Jockey Club, lo- Detroit, will be sold at auction on Feb. 21. The land includes about e‘ghty acres, with grand stand, stables, etc., which cost $105,- Last year two running meetings were given on this track. The first one was a success, as $6000 was cleared. The second was a dismal failure, and. probably $20,000 was lost. Something like $3200 in purses is still coming to horsemen. During August a trotting meeting was held, the dubs leas ng the grounds to W. Perry Taylor for that purpose, and inclement weather made the meeting a failure. As the club received rental for the week of the trotting me«t- ing it’ lost nothing on this deal. Arrange- ments have been made whereby the track will ‘be controlled in 1898 by the Parmer- Hendrie syndicate. This syndieate con- trols the tracks at Windsor, the Highland Park property at Detroit, and the. Belair track at Montreal. James R. Keene has given up the idea of getting the great jockey, Tod Sloan, to ride his animals jn England. For several days the Wall street man has urged Julius Fleischmann to release Sloan from his con- tract and has offered $5000 for the release. But the Cincinnati man isin the turf world for the sport he can get out of it, and he re- fuses. Tod will not care to ride in England after the American turfmen get through offering him opportunities for making a large salary. The Fleischmann stable, un- der the terms of the contract, has to give Sloan $12,000 as a retainer and $25 for all winning mounts. The Avondale stable will race all its horses in the list this year. Bangle and White Front are included in thelr lot. Tod Sloan has arrived at San Francisco and in a day or two he will be heard from in the saddle. Sporting Notes. Frank Donahue is in town. Dowd and Breitenstein were at Billy Ga- ren’s benefit last night. Jake Haltman‘and Nic Burley will leave for Hot Springs to-morrow night. There is a letter at the Post-Dispaich of- fice for Max Luttbeg, the wrestler. The Kittleman brothers are doing well with Myth and Con Clarencio at the Cali- fornia tracks. Gallagher seems to be getting Into > ain. He put up a good game for the Globes Sunday. Charles Kaser and August Lehr are the two most feared of the visiting professiona] cycle racing men. Judge John: C. Carter has been appointed circuit judge of the California race meet- ings and will not come East next summer, Next Sunday’s game between the Globes and C. B. C.s will be the hottest thing that ever happened, as they only differ one point in the percentage. Kane and Craven are putting up their old game for the Globes. They are about the best and fastest couple in the St. Louis Footbal] League. Manager Comiskey has about decided upon his line-up for the infield. ‘‘Pebble’’ Jack Glasscock will play the initial bag, Geier at second and Shugart and Gillen at short and third respectively. The Rexes defeated the Thisties Sunday morning by a score of 1 to 0. The feature of the game was the playing of James Connors, the star half back. He will be heard from in next Sunday’s game with the Shamrocks. Several of thu best known cyclists in America are expected in St. Louis to-night from Florida, notably Nat Butler, Bob Waltham, Conn Baker and August Lelir. Baker comes to ride his match with Jay Eaton in the Coliseum next Saturday night.

He is an ardent ad- vocate of clean, honest sport, and an en- thusiastic worker in the cause of cycling and amateur athletics. The membership of the Amateur Athletic Union, with its active and allied interests, amounts to between 300,000 and 490,000, which proves it to be the strongest and most in- fluential organization of amateur sports- men in the world. In view of the fact that there has been much discussion recently regarding the Na- tion Cycle Track Association, its objecis and methods, E. C. Hodges of Boston, Pres- ident of the association, has issued a state- ment for the purpose of correcting any erroneous impressions that may have been formed. Mr. Hodges says: “‘The N. C. T A. was formed in February, 1897, and no consists of tracks at Boston and Springsen’ Mass.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Coney Island, N. Y.: Asbury Park and Newark, N. J.; Phila- delphia, Pa.; Louisville, Ky.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Racine, Wis., and Wilkesbarre, Pa. At the annual meeting held in New York Jan 29, all these tracks were represented and 4ll steps taken were unanimously indorsed. As this association is formed of tracks and not individuals, it ig plain that tracks must be absolutely built before ~ Sgemenamni for membership can be considered. “The cycling track business has been a losing one for the owners for several years. It is proposed by the N. C. T. A. to g0 conduct its affairs that not only will the business be profitable, but that the public but not least, the racing men will have more races and better conditions than be- fore. The Cireuit Committee of the asso- tion with that proposed by the L. A. men and at the same time enable the pub- Vic to see the best talent. The proposed circult will be submitted to the racin board of the L. A. W. for approval an sanction. I believe it will meet with the approval of the board, the public and the racing men. The association will have its own pacing outfit, consisting of thirty ma- chines, from seyen-seaters to singles, and thirty trained cemakers and a team of six men to represent them at all distances. The pacing team will start into active train- ing in the early spring.”’ At local League of American Wheelmen headquarters this morning things were pretty lively and many of the out of town delegates called there. Among the tele- grams received there during the morning was one announcing that the enfire colony of bicyclists now at Beliaire, Fla., were likely to come to St. Louis in a body. An- other dispatch stated that Nat Butler, who is to race Jay Eaton next Satercay night, will arrive in St. Louls to-morrow night. Salisbury on Deck Again. OAKLAND, Cal., Feb. 8.—Monroe Salis- bury has been formally discharged from in- solvency.

OUR RECORD Est¢ 1878 250,000 DISEASED | ' MEN | CURED i Z ¢. A crowd of Merchants’ Bridge Terminal men were talking last night about contrac- tion and expansion of steel and iron rails. John Mack, foreman of Bremen avenue yards, interrupted and said: “Gentlemen, taiking about expansion, let me tell you how I nearly lost my lite one hot duy last summer. 1 started over the track on an inspection trip, and when near Branch street 1 sat down on the ran te rest. “When I tried to nse I found myself fast amd could not move. I discovered that I had sat on a joint that was about half an inch open, and white sitting there the rails ex- panded, closed the gap and caught my trousers in a vice-like grip. “I pulled a little to loosen myself, but in vain. Then I though of a knife, but I had 'none. The fact was I did not realize the predicament I was in until I heard Billy | Bissite blow the whistle on the Granite City hummer. Then I began to pull, jerk and twist, but it was no use—I was caught. Finally the train came in sight. You can imagine my feelings, I began to think of \the past. I émegined I could hear ali the twhistles blowing 6 o’clock for me. Fishing ‘on Sunday and all such things came to memory. Why, I could see myself years ago in the farmer’s orchard, when mother thought I was at Sunday-School, anda geen gloom came over me when I though of all ‘the watermelons I had eaten when a boy that had never been paid for. ‘The train kept ——h and everythin kept ee! smatier. ‘Billy’ tooted an tooted the whistle, the fireman rang the bell, but I was fast, and could not leave the rail.

bal ah ioe 4 Biz mie SES 4 > MYSTERIOUS TROUBLES. Few People Understand or Realize It. A Clear Explanation of Its Nature and How to Avoid It Clearly Shown. What is this mysterious trouble that is coming a@pon the people? Why is it that we see so many men who look weakened, nerveless and wholly out of condition? Why are so many women whom we see pale, a, with parched lips, dark lines under the eyes and a ~ general lack of luster? = = These things seem to be greatly increasing of jlate, and without any apparent cause. We see more men who lack vigor than ever before. We meet more women who seem broken down than in the past. Surely there must be a cause fof all this —and there Is. These troubles can arise from but one cause, pamely, discrdered kidneys or urinary organs. In- deed, it is now admitted tat the region of the lower body is the prime source of most physical flies. When the kidneys become diseased the blood becomes polsoned and all the troubles such as sleeplessness, lack of appetite, nervelessness, rest- lessness, tired and despondent feelings follow in ite wake. The truth is, people are not well. But they should be, and they can be if they would only take the means of recovery that are near at hand. In writ- ing upon this subject, Dr. R. A. Gunn, Dean and Professor of Surgery of the United States Medical College, New York, says: ‘In a large class of ailments in an wunberlthy state—where there is no evi- dence of organic mischief, but where the general health is depleted, the face sallow, the urine col- ored, constituting the ‘bilious’ condition—the ad- vantage gained from the use of Warner's Safe Cure ia remarkable. 1 find also that in Bright's disease it seems to act as a solvent of albumen; to soothe and heal inflamed membranes, and wash out ep!l- thelial debris which block up the urine-bearing tubes.’’ It is undoubtedly true that Americans, as a people, are in a more or less serious condition, and that there are complaints which have become national diseases. But it is also true that modern acience has provided an adequate remedy which ia able to fully control it and supplant sickness and misery by bealth and happiness, where the blood is SHOT BY A COLORED BOY.—An _un- known colored boy shot Alice Fritch, aged 13, 1139 Rutger street, in the left ankle with a@ 32-caliber ball.

See MULLANPHY RS PROTEST They Object to Diverting the Fund for a Hospital. IN A POSITION TO DO SO. FAVOR A HOME YOR INCURABLES, BUT NOT AN INSTITUTION PROVIDED BY CHARTER. a MEETING OF THOSE INTERESTED Admission That the Charity Has Out- lived Its Usefulness, but the Proposition to Aid the City Is Met by Opposition. The Mullanphy heirs object to the plan which has been proposed of selling the property of the Mullanphy Emigrant Relief Fund and using the money to build a new City Hospital. When Bryan Mullanphy died he left his share of the estate of his father, John Mul- lanphy, to found a charity not provided for by the clty or otherwise. The money and property left for that purpose amounted to between $700,000 and $800,000. In thet day there was a great tide of emigration west- ward and St. Louis was the gatewey, so this charity was founded to send such as were without funds to their destination and pro- vide for their wants. Conditions have now changed. The Eu- ropean, on this way to his new home, has on ceased to be a familiar object in St. ouis. Much of the property bequeathed to main- tain the fund is in undesirable residence districts, and in many instances the fncome annually has been smaller than the repair bills. Then sbme of this property was sold, by order of court, the proceeds reinvested and the affairs of the emigrant fund were placed in better shape. It ‘has long been manifest that the char- ity has outlived its usefulness, and it was proposed to divert the Mullanphy bequest so it could be used for a city hospital. To attempt to divert a bequest from poses specifically set forth is always diffi- cult, sometimes dangerous. Such a diver- sion gives those who would have been heirs at law good grounds to sue for the recovery of the property. A case in point is the new City Hall site. It. was bought by the city at its actual value at the time of sale, but a clause in the deed set forth that it was to be used as a public park. This clause was inserted by the city, and was not made a condition by the vendor. Never- theless, the heirs of the vendor brought suit to recover, on the ground that the condi- tions of the deed had been violated, and the city pa'd $20,000 to quiet the title rather than run the risk of an adverse decision. John Mullanphy left seven daughters and one son, Bryan, who inherited his large estate. The daughters all married, and their descendants, numbering probably two or three hundred by this time, are the

The beautiful church of St. Agnes’, at Sidney and Salena streets, was crowded be- yond its capacity Tuesday morning by sor- rowing parishioners and _ citizens intent |; upon paying their last token of respect to ‘the dead priest, Rev. Father Constantine P&P. Smith. | Nearly an hour before the services were | to begin the people thronged into the build- ‘ing and out to the pavements, until, when ‘the family and pall-bearers arrived, the assistance of the police was required to ‘gently force an entrance to the seats re- 'gerved for those appointed to the fullest | measure ef sorrow. | The casket lay inside the chancel] rail, | half buried in floral tributes, from which | the deep-scent of the tuberose and the |white lily permeated the building. The faee of the dead priest was calm and life- like, and just above his tired hands rested the cross in emblem of the Christ he had served so faithfully and well. There was a distinguished gathering of Catholic clergy in the adjoining house of Rev. Father Fanmath, who has been serv- ing as priest during the illness of Rev. Father Smith. They came from every di- rection and represented every parish in the city, as well as near-by parishes of the gto Archbishop Kain was among the first to arrive. He was followed shortly by Mer. Walsh, Vicar-General Muehlsiepen and Rev. Father Vandersenden, Then they came in bunches and pairs until the priest’s house was crowded with a gathering wherein the name of each was familiar to all citizens. Among them were Rev. Fathers Tobin, Power, Tallen, Phelan, Fenlon, Byrne, Mc- Glynn, O'Flaherty, Kielty, Brennan, Mce- Caffrey, the two McCabes, Orff, Gilfillan, Long, Dooley, White and Dempsey. The Christian Brothers were represented by Brothers Paulian, Ambrose and twelve oth- ers who! assisted in the choir services. Just at 10 o’clock the priests entered the chancel, and after a moment of silence be- am to chant the solemn office of the dead. t was an impressive ceremony, adding to the sympathetic character of the occasion. Then followed the mass, with Rev. G. D. Power as ceiebrant; Rev. M. W. Tobyn as deacon, and Rev. Edward-S, Fenlon as sub- deacon. Rev. P. W. Fellon acted as master of ceremonies. The sermon, delivered by Rev. D. 8S. Phe- lan, was aes and touching. The editor- priest sketched briefly the sacrificial life of Father Smith, his devotion to the church and his accomplishments as a scholar. He dwelt longest upon Father Smith's gentle- ness of character, his courage and his ster- ling manhood. When the sermon was ended there were tears'in the eyes of those who had gathered to hear these final words of homage. After the absolution the church emptied lowly of its great concourse of people. Then the casket was taken up and borne away, followed by nearly a hundred car- riages. Out at Calvary Cemetery kindly hands laid the dead priest, with the cross above him and the memory of a good man remaining in the hearts of all who knew him. e@ The honorary pallbearers, composed of well-known citizens who were glad to be classed among the neérast friends of Father Smith, were: Dr, Elisha Gregory, Dr. P.'B. S. O'Reilly, Messrs. Peter L. Foy, Auguste Ewing, Francis Kuhn, Joseph T. Donovan, Jules Desloge, Eugene Karst and Mathias Dougherty. ‘ During the services at the church the organ was presided over by Alfred G. Robyn. The choir consisted of James J. Rohan and Jobn Rohan, assisted by the choir from the Christian Brothers’ College. CONCUSSION OF THE BRAIN. Little Emma Matthias Struck by a Livery Carriage.

WR. WALKER NOT LOCATED, He Is Still in Ignorance of His Wife’s Death. Irving Walker, whose wife, Mrs. Nannie Harrison Walker, died last Thursday, has not been located. As published in Monday's Post-Dispatch, Mr. Walker is taking an overland camping trip for his health. It is believed that he is somewhere in Texas, and every effort is being made to locate and notify him. It was hoped Monday evening to locate him at El Paso, Tex., but this proved un- successful. Owing to Mr. Walker’s feeble condition, he being a consumptive, it is not thought advisable to let him suffer the shock of the sad news of Mrs. Walker’s death away from home, so the telegrams ere carefully worded, Mrs. J. McBride of 3039 Locust street told a Post-Dispatch reporter that @ letter was expected from the unfortunate husband Tuesday. His letters to his wife oncramae arrived om Tuesday of each week. Thoug camping on the wide plains he would man- age to reach some mail] station at intervals of six or seven days. } “I am afraid the sad blow may prove fatal to Mr, Walker,’’ said Mrs. McBride. There was never a couple more devoted, and the greatest grief resulted when the husband and father was compelled to seek a climate more beneficial to him, “So devoted was Mrs. Walker that she wouldn’t even Jet him suspect that she was ill. Though delicate herself, she was brave in spirit and was ever hopeful of the good results of Mr. Walker’s trip.”’ PERSONAL MENTION, The spacious parlors of the handsome old Biebinger residence, 1121 South Eleventh street, were the scene Saturday afternoon of a delightful progressive euchre and “kaf- fee’’ given by Mrs. F.

The attractive old house was decorated lavishly with ferns and growing plants of many varieties. Ropes of smilax garlanded the chandeliers and mantle-shelves, while quantities of car- nations, roses, azaleas and narcissi were placed at every available point. Upon the conclusion of the card game, a delicious luncheon was served. The first euchre prize, an embroidered sofa pillow of Dor- drech design, was won by Miss Elizabeth O’Neil; the second ze, a porte papier of willow, decorated with dainty ribbons, was captured by Miss Lowitsky; the third prize, a silver berry bowl was awarded to Miss Matthews. Miss Blanche Arborne took the prize for ‘“‘lone hands” and Mrs. R. J. Terry won the consolation prize, a dainty candle- stick of Dresden china.

Pink and green were the prevaling tints In the floral decoration, with Mermet roses, ribbons and evergreens employed in carrying out the color scheme, The rows of beveled mirrors which line the walls of ‘the ballroom were framed with emilax, caught at the top with an empire knot of pink ribbon and Cather- ine Mermet roses. Ropes of smilax radiated from the chandeliers to the four corners of the hall, where they were fastened by grace- ful pink streamers and heavy masses of roses. Pale green silk, draped the white bal- cony above the ballroom, and at intervals this silk was caught up in soft folds by big clusters of pink roses, mingled with trail- ing vines. Downstairs the supper room was lighted by rose-colored lamps, the shades of which were covered with France roses and maidenhair ferns. Upstairs the receiv- ing party stood before a bank of palms at the far end of the hall, while welcoming the guests. In the ante-room a group of young men acted as ushers and escorts.

H. Anderson. EMPHATICALLY DENIES THEM. CHARGES THAT HE VISITED PLACES A CHURCH MEMBER SHOULD NOT FREQUENT, MADEBY DR.MULHOLLAND’SSON Elder Anderson Is Superintendent of the Sunday-School and Says He Can Establish an Alibi Lyman R. Mulholland, son of Rev. H. J. Mulholland, former pastor of Grace Pres- byterian Church, and Henry Morgan, have preferred charges in writing to Rev. Dr. Shearer, the pastor, affecting the char- acter of Mr. Frank H. Anderson, superin- tendent of the Sunday-school and elder in Grace Church. The typewritten charges contain three dis- tinct accusations that Elder Anderson was seen in company with another person in places that a church member should never visit. A church investigation of the charges will probably be made, Mr. Anderson denies the charges. “Tt all comes about through the part I took in the proceedings which ended in Dr. Mulholland being deposed ag pastor,” he said. “After the new church building at Goodfellow and Ridge burned, the insur- ance, amounting to $16,000, was paid to the pastor. A demand was made for an Ac- counting, which was not forthcoming. One Sunday he stated from the pulpit that he had never been asked for an accounting, and that he was ready to render one at any time. I contradicted him. He told me to sit down, but I stood my ground. The matter was taken before the Presby- tery and Dr. Mulholland was removed. The church then filed suit against Dr. Mulhol- land for an accounting of $11,000 and cer- tain church property. “That suit is still pending in the Circuit Court. When deposed from the pastorate of Grace Church, r, Mulholland and a few of his followers tried to establish a church at Theodosia and Goodfellow avenues. The church dwindled to a Sunday-school, and then died out altogether. ‘‘The ex-pastor’s son is one of my accus- ers, and the other, Hemry Morgan, is a man whom I befriended and who turned on me with ingratitude, ‘It is charged that I was at a certain place last Saturday night. I do not know now that the place named is in existence. Saturday morning I received a typewritten postal card, ‘signed ostensibly by William Randolph, secretary, calling me to a mee®& ing of the Board of the Sunday-school Union at the Laclede Building at 7:30 that night. I left my home, 7 Ridge avenue, at 7 p. m. and arrived at the Laclede Build- ing at 7:45. I found the offices all dark. I walked north on Broadway, stopped at Brandt’s shoe store, and went directly home, arriving at 8:25. The postal card was a forgery. No meeting of the board was called, and as I always remain home nights, it was evidently a scheme to get me down town to lay a slender foundation for the charge brought. “Another offense charged is at an hour and day when it is easily proved that I was at my place of business. These men claim to have played the spy on my move- ments. How much credence can be placed on the testimony of men confessedly guilty of such work? “T have been connected with the Sunday- School Union since its organization, 13 years or more ago, and am now a member of the Executive Board; I have been super- intendent of the Sunday-school more than four years, I have been a member of the church more than 20 years and my char- acter cannot now be injured by charges eae by malice from such a source. he names of Lyman R. Mulholland and Henry Morgan have been dropped from the roll of Grace Church. Not being members they cannot prefer charges and they will not be considered.” CHARGE ILLEGAL ARREST.
