BEEN CALLED TO THE PRESIDENCY, HAS GEN. f CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 10.—News has reached here that Gen. Prospero Morales, formerly Secretary of War under Gen. Bar- rios and later head of the unsuccessful re- bellion against the dictator, has been de- clared President of Guatemala. The dispatch says the assassination of Dic- tator Barrios took place at 7 o’clock Tuesday night within 150 yards of the President's pal- ace. The assassin is a German named Oscar Solinger. First Vice President Manuel Estrada Ca- brera assumed the Pres'dency for the time being. Gen, Worales is preparing Guatemala. He gave the following ment to the newspapers: ‘*T have this day received telegraphic news from Guatemala relative to the death of zen, Barrios, President of Guatemala. As a citizen of Guatemala, and a member of the Republican party of that country, I sincerely regret his tragic end, “First, the honor of the country is stained by a crime. Second, as a loyal op- ponent of Gen. Barrios, I would have pre- ferred to have met him in a fair fight and defeated him on the field of battle. “Nevertheless, as this is an inevitable fact, much to my regret, the responsible parties only are those who, with their anti- patriotic sentiments, cgntributed to blind the man who has now ypmssed away and by his death obscured the true situation of that country. “As yet I have no detailed facts of how Gen. Barrios met his death, but whatever they may be, I both deplore and condemn the crime, as it reflects upon civilization and @ehonors my native country. I was a personal friend of Gen. Barrios and al- though if afterward I have been his politi- cal opponent, I would have preferred many times to have seen him die on the fleld of battle fighting for the liberty of Guate- mala.’’ THE ASSASSIN KILLED. Short Work Made of the Man Who Shot Barrios. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The offictal con- firmation of the assassination of President Barrios came to-day to the State Depart- ment in the following telegram from Minis- ter Hunter at Guatemala City, dated yes- terday: “President Barrios was shot and instantly killed last night at & o’clock while walking with two military officers near the palate, The assassin while attempting to escape was i.umediately killed by the President's staff. Manuél Estrada Cabrera, temporariby the constiftitional successor, has been peaceably installed. All quiet.” 7 a BURGLAR PLAYING "POSSUM, Richard Barsch’s Experience With a Midnight Intruder.

B.Q.oneacht * ITOSTRANGLE &=— THE MERIT SYSTEM. a CONTINUED FROM PAGE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE. Plain Statement of Facts by Chairman James L. Blair. Mr. James L, Biair was asked in refer- ence to the prospects of the citizens’ com- mittee which is working for the submission of the amendment to the charter relating to the mecit system ip municipal offices, He sald: “I was greatly encouraged at the meeting before the Council committee on Tuesday, It was the best meeting of the kind I have ever seen. It had none of the “solar walk” characteristics which the practical politi- cians have such contempt for. The dele- gates there represented not only the Mer- chants’ Exchange and Mercantile lub and organizations of that kind, but they also represented the labor unions and kindred associations, which stand for not less than thirty thousand voters. These things bear evidence to the fact that it is not merely a clique which is desirous of having this amendment adopted, but a solid mass of voters throughout the city. “And why should they not? The merit system is but common sense applied to municipal affairs. There isn’t a merchant in St. Louls or anywhere else who selects his employes on any other basis, and it is a manifest absurdity that the city whose bust- ness is of vastly more importance should se- lect its employees not because they are fit but because they happen to have a pull with such cattle as “Hew” Brady, and hig ilk. This system has worked admirably not only in. English cities, but in New York and Chi- cago. “Only yesterday I had occasion to mect with a sub-committee interested in this cause composed of Messrs, Joseph Franklin, Charles E. Barney, Goodman King, Dugal Crawford, Cfarles Nugent, Julius A. Baer, of the Grand Leader, Henry Ittleson, of Famous, Alexander Penny of Penny & Gen- tles, Elias Michael of Rice, Stix &: Co. Kveryone of these gentlemen is zealousy in- terested in seeing this amendment submitte% and adopted. It is their opinion and very justly so that since this city administration is about to ask the people to pay out twenty millions of dollars to improve the streets It can do no less than give evidence of its good faith by introducing this merit system so as to see that this money is properiy ex- pended. No thoughtful man will give his consent to such a vast expenditure if it is to be done under the old system. They de- sire and are entitled to an assurance that the work will be well done, and it cannot and will not be well done if the City Hall is filled with political barnacles instead of competent men selected on the basis of merit. , “In this connection a movement is now under way to establish a permanent com- mittee of prominent citizens to be assisted by a competent engineer who, iff these amendments are adopted, will watch this reconstruction from beginning to end and sée to it that the work is well done and the money honestly expended. “There is another reason why this merit system amendment should be now sub- mitted. Other amendments are te be sub- mitted at the coming election and it im- poses no additional cost upon the city to take a vote of the people on this subject. “T see by a morning paper that a confer- ence. was held at the City Hall by which it was determined. to relegate this merit sys- tem amendment to the rear. If this ig true and I sincerely hope it is not, it is a very short sighted policy, for it was well said by the president of the Central Labor Union before the Council Committee on Tuesday that already 20,000 voters in this city have signified their desire in writing that the system should be adopted, and the organizations which he represented included 20,000 more who were equally concerned. It is not our policy to fight the submission of the street improvement amendmente, but I do not see how we can control this great mass of voters who are determined to de- feat the street amendments unless the merit system amendment is also submitted. “T hope everybody will carefully read the proposed amendment. It will do away with that notion which many erroneously enter- tain that these examinations are farcical in their nature; that applicants are ex- amined on all kinds of foolish and imma- terial subjects. Under the proposed amend- ment this in not true; the examination must relate specifically to the duty which the applicant will be expected to perform, If he is to perform the duties of a clerk he Is examined as to his clerica] ability. If he goes in thé Health Department he is ex- amined in relation to his duties there and nothing more, “I sincerely hope that the administration will be wise enough to see that not only the interests of the people, but its own in- terests are vitally concerned in seeing to it that the people have an opportunity to vote upon this reform.”’ MR. THUNER IN OPPOSITION. Chairman of the Council Legislative Committee So Expresses Himself. Chairman Charles H. Thuner of the Coun- cil Committee on Legislation, was evasive as to the contemplated action of that body in reference to the proposed merit system amendment. In conversation with a Post- Dispatch reporter Thursday morning he at first said that the committee would not report Friday, and later said it might do go. He placed himself squarely on record as oppease to the merit system amendment. e expressed his views without reservation, “We have not taken up the merit system amendment,’ he said, ‘“‘because we have been busy with those providing for street and sewer improvements, which are more important. We are not going to report Fri- day, and it may take us several days to complete our work. I am afraid we would ooo ONE, CHARLES H. THUNER. make a bie mistake if we talked on that merit system amendment, We can’t afford to get politics mixed up with this thing. That merit system amendment is nothing but polities, and the worst kind at that, “} don't know whether you are wealthy or not, but I'll tell you what it means. It means that if you ara poor you don't get anything and if you are rich you put up your money and get a good job.” The reporter suggested that ft whs the intention of the framers of the amendment to eliminate politics from the municipal ger- vice as far as possible. “Yee, that's what they say,” answered Mr. Thuner, “but it wouldn't work that way. There would be a merit system par- ty. controlled by politicians, just as the other parties are controlled. These poll- ticlans would hold up the people who have money to pay for good jobs. You can't — politics out of these things.”’ “Would pot the people be the best judges of how the amendment would op- erate?’ the reporter asked, “T suppose so,’ satd Mr. Thuner. “Then why not submit the proposition to & vote of the people?’ Mr. Thuner took a alip of paper and a pen. He drew half a dozen straight lines on the paper and said: “Well, you @ee there's a difference tween voting end voting. The SY don’t *' bo= peo- kugwe ist they ; lavelie we they do know’ they Suppose and each or when don’t always know how to get it. this piece of paper is the ticket line represents an amendment, The good streets amendments would draw certain people to the polls and others would come out to vote for sewer improvements. Now, there are lots of people who are so bent on Civil service that if we tacked on this amendment they would vote for it and ig- nore the other amendments. Then their tickets would be thrown out and our street and sewer improvement plans would fail through. We can’t run that risk.” and its own ignorance, do you?’ Well, I don’t believe in Jetting ignorance kill our street and sewer “Was there ever a more marked demon- stration of the people's wishes than took place in the Council chamber Tuesday?” asked the reporter, ieee SUCSS NOt,” said Mr. Thuner. beens) anything like the same ment?” Own in opposition to the amend- h We never gave the opposition ‘a public earing,” replied Mr. Taruner, ‘“‘but individ- of it at the public meeting.” The gentlemen who spoke at the hearing venedtaen not speak as individuals.

They said they did.” What about Mr. Hitchcock's petition containing the names of 20,000 citizens?” Ho said he had it, but I never saw it,” said Mr. Thuner. “Anyway, you know how they got those names, don’t you? They just went fround from door to door. Lots of people signed ‘that didn’t know exactly what it was. ‘Merit system’ is a catchy phrase. It’s all right if it is properly ad- ministered, but you can’t keep politics out of the City Government. “You know how it is when a man has an office. Take the Municipal Assembly, for instance. A man starts out to be honest and do right and he finds the newspapers and the croakers talking in a general way about ‘boodling officeholders,’ the ‘corrupt municipality’ and that sort of thing. You try to do right, but when you walk down the street and people point at you and.say, "There goes one of those boodlers.’ That keeps up a while and the first thing you know you quit trying to do right. “This amendment calls for a commission of three of different political complexion. Now you know how that would work. Say you are a Democrat and I am a Republi- can. “We would start out to do right but the newspapers would say we were crooked. They would tell of something we were sup- posed to have done, something we had never thought of before. We would tumble right away that such a thing could be done. Why ecouldn’t we shake hands and make the more out of our jobs. “Yes, we might do that if we were not honest,” said the reporter. “Oh, well, you know how those things go,’ said Mr. Thuner, “We meet this afternoon. Of course we may get through in time to report to- morrow, but I hardly think we will.’’ LLOYD AND KRATZ OPPOSE. They Don’t Believe in the Merit System in Any Form. Ex-Speaker Hiram Lloydof the House of Delegates said he was opposed to civil service in any form. CHARLES KRATZ. Councilman Kratz of the Council Legisla- tion Committee said he was a partisan and not in favor of civil service, DR. STARKLOFF’S POSITION. Is Known Too Well as a Partisan to Talk on the Subject. Health Commissioner Starkloff said: “IT am ttoo well known a partisan to dis- cuss civil service and prefer to be left out ef this controversy.”’, MR. LEHMANN A SPOILSMAN. Speaker of the House Is Willing to So Go on Record. Speaker Lehmann of the House of Dele- gates said: “T don’t think the civil service amend- ment should be recognized in our munici- pal government. I am willing to be known as a spoilsman. If Republicans are in power they should hold the offices and vice versa if Democrats win. “I think that civil service is directly op- posed to the tenets of a free government, I also believe that parties of different po- litical faith are healthful in a free govern- ment like ours. “Civi, service will do for the Czar of Russia and William of Germany, but it has no business in free Missouri or the United States. I shall oppose the merit system amendment to the city charter.” MR. MARSHALL IN FAVOR. for a City. City Counselor Marshall—‘'Civil service Government and has proven successful. take it that what is healthful for the National Government is not unhealthful to a municipality.” COUNCILMAN GAST Favors the Merit System, but Will Not Tell How He'll Vote. Councilman Paulus Gast said his commit- clusion and certainly would not act hastily. “I think the proposed merit system of filling municipal offices,’ he said, “is a rood idea. Some such system will have to be adopted, sooner or later, I am not ready to say how I will vote, however, on the submission of the amendment at this time. will consider the subject He Says Civil Service Should Only Be Tolerated by a Monarchy. City Auditor Isaac M. Mason, who has been a voter in St. Louls since 1851, said Thursday: “I am opposed to civil service age that civil service Is inconsistent to a requblican form of government. In other words, if this is a government where insult to the majority to say that It is not honest and competent enough to administer the government. “Civil service may be a.proper thing for a monurchial gwovernment, but it should not be tolerated in a free government. But, understand me, I believe in a high stand- ard for public service, in a rigid examina- tion of the qualifications of men whe are to do the public work. They should be ab- solutely honest and of approved competency. Can't we find such men im the — party that has fought forand won ° | | “You want, to stgnd between the public | fices?) I think we can.

Sweeny Denounces Civil Service and Judy Pleads Ignorance. Alderman John Sweeny (Dem.) from the improvement , Fourth Ward said: “I think civil service ‘is a contemptible stibterfuge and it has done more to kil] the Democratic party than ‘all the other issues we havé ever had to strength | uals have expressed thems as | elves to me 438) opposed, just as individuals spoke in favor | What Is Good for the Nation Is Good | tee on legislation had not arrived at a con-| in this office or elsewhere in municipal of- the majority rules and should rule, it is an | contend with.” Alderman ay “t have never, had enough respect for civil service to study it, and am willing to remain in ignorance.” : Assistant Comptroller Fred Gable declined to express an opinion, and Assistant Street |Commissioner Julius Wurzburger said that any kind of an interview with him on civil ‘service would be regarded as a huge joke. ‘He thought that the public improvements ‘amendment is sufficient for thé people to vote on at once, THE MAYOR IS MUM. Says He Cannot Discuss the Commit- tee’s Action Before It Reports. Mayor Ziegenhein was seen by a Post- Dispatch reporter and told of the reported action of the Council Committee. “IT cannot say anything about the com- mittee’s action until its report is submitted and would prefer to not dig«cuss the merit system amendment at this time,” he said. “T am most interested in the streets and sewers amandments and am not. opposed to any other amendments so long as they do not jeopardize St. Louls’ chance to get better streets and sewers.”’ EFFICACY OF PARTY PRIDE. Mr. Kalbfell Thinks It Serves the City Best. License Commissioner Kalbfell: “I be- lieve in honesty and efficiency in public of- fice, but I also beileve in rewarding com- petent and honest friends. “I do not believe that civil service will give St. Louis or any other government as efficient a service as partisan pride will give the people. I do not deny that I am a spoliman and don’t care who knows it.” GROCERS AND MERCHANTS. Shown About the State Institutions at Jacksonville. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

MADRID, Feb. 10.—It ts evident that the Spanish authorities fear an outbreak here following the dismissal of De Lome from Washington, or some time past the authorities have been taking precuations in guarding the resi- dence of United States Minister Woodford which is on the outskirts of the city. Now the guard is reinforced by twenty-four men and the Heraldo says that even this is not considered sufficient. Additional precau- tions have been adopted evidently under the ; impresston that public order might be dis- turbed and a number. of mounted civil guards have been posted in the vicinity. The lieraldo asks whence the necessity for these | precautions since Madrid has offered abso- \lutely not a single symptom of justifying | such measures, The Washington State De- | partment announcement that De Lome had | admitted the genuineness of the letter to |; Canelaja was received in Madrid early this }morning. Senor Canelajas was out of town _but his secretary said he had never received lany such letter from De Lome. CUBAN JUNTA JUBILANT. Rejoicing Over the Downfall of Min- ister De Lome. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The members of the Cuba Junta. are jubllant over the cap- ture of the letter of the Spanish Minister. has been thoroughly tried in our National | They gathered in large numbers at. their I} headquarters to-day and talked freely of ‘the outcome of the disclosures. T. Estrada Palma and Col. Nunez were not at the headquarters, and it was said that they were in Washington prepared to act on the ' giving out of the letter and push the claims of Cuba. Dr. Castillo, who was in charge of the headquarters, refused to discuss the letter and referred all inquirtes to Horatio S Rubens, the counsel of the Junta. All sorts of rumors were afloat around the Cuban headquarters. One of them was to the effect that a number of efforts had been made-t> get the letter out of the possess'on of the Junta, and that as high as $20,000 had been offered for it. One of the clerks at headquarters said: “T had a chance to make $5000 and three others have received similar offers. The offer was made to us if we would work to- gether and steal the letter and give it to | » the man Who approached us.’ This is, however, discounted by the fact / that the letter has already been forwarded to the State Department. How the Junta obtained the letter ts being carefully guard- ed, and the exact facts are known to only a few of the leaders. Who the man is who brought it to New York remains a mystery and also the manner in which he obtained it from among the papers of Senor Canale- jas. One account has it that the letter was stolen In Havana, only the envelope being forwarded to Madrid. PREPARING FOR TROUBLE. War and Navy Departments Ready for Any Emergency. Special fo the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The impression made upon the minds ef every one is that the crisis In our relatiens with Spain can- not much longer be delayed.

Not only is the Navy Department prac- tically on a war footing, but the War De- partment has made every preparation look- ing to the future. The War Department has a plan to im- mediately increase the force of the army to 100,000 men. If this force should not be sufficient, re- course would then be had to the formation of volunteer regiments as in our last war, but until that could be done there would be almost immediately available this nu- cieus of 100,000 well-armed, well-disciplined and well-equipped men who could be placed in the forts of the various coast cities and in et} 3 TRAINS DAILY THOMAS J.

In my opinion we can never get together on either, of them.” Mr. Harrison, having been the Democratic nominee for Mayor at the last election, has had sufficient acquaintance with city politics to speak with authority,.and he was grave and earnest as he talked about the situation in this town. “IT want it understood,” he said, “that so far as I am personally concerned, I am out of the way. I have no political ambitions whatever, I have had enough of politics. “The party in St. Louis is in bad shape. The Governor of the State had an oppor- tunity to assist in reorganizing the Democ- racy here on a reasonable basis. I think if he had apopinted to the office of Election Commissioner a man not objectionable to the party as a whole, it would have had a wholesome effect, but with Brady on one side and Meriwether on the other, the party is between the Devil and the deep sea. “What course would be best to pursue right now I am not prepared to say, especially while the machinery of the party seems to be somewhat in the wrong hands, But after awhile something will have to be done if the Democrats are to entertain any hope of suc- cess in the future. There are a number of good men in the city committee: whom I know; there are others with .whom I have little or no acquaintance, but I have no doubt that its make-up is as satisfactory as such committees usually are, and I hope they will be able to give us some basis of harmony other than is now presented. Mr. Harrison submits the following as expressive of his news of the meeting on Sunday afternoon: “At the characteristic Mertwether meet- ing held in the corridor of the Holland (Ruildong yesterday, it appears that I was elected a Vice-President. The attempt was made some months ago to make a catspaw of me to pull Mr. Meriwether’s chestnuts out of the fire by electingime to the presi- dency of the Twentieth Ward ‘Regular’ Democratic Club, then in /control of Mr. Meriwether and his supporters, and al- though I gave forma] notice of my declina- tion to accept the honor, the use of my name as president was continued. “IT again decline the honor which has been thrust upon me by Mr. Meriwether’s new club. That gentleman seems to think that the only reason for existence of the Demo- cratic party in St. Louis is to gratify his personal ambitions and provide him with office, failing in whic it should be smashed.” Skirts, newest patterns, $3.25 LAST CHANCE AT MEN’S WEAR, From Weiboldt’s Fire Stock.

Laughable features In the abduction of Chris Von Ger Ahe should mot divert the public mind and partioularly the oficial mind from the seri- ous eapect of the case, The Post-Dispatch struck the keynote of the serious view of the case In the quotation of the Missour! law on the subject of abduction and In interviews with Gov. Stephens and Cireuit At- torney Eggers. Both of these officials de themselves ready to act on the matter. Von der Ahe was seized on a Judgment calling tor his money, not bis body. Whatever might ee ‘lare have been the nature of his conduct in the mat- ter, he was not under indictment for crime, but was merely, on the face of the case, under ob- ligation to pay a sum of money which his bonds- men, instead of attempting to collect by legal] methods, chose to collect by violently kidnap- ping and carrying him away to the jurisdiction of the courts of another State. If this method of dealing with citizens of Mis. sourt can be resorted to with impunity, who is safe? Claims good or bad can be made a source of great danger and trouble'to citizens by claim- ants from all parts of the Union. There are legal methods of collecting debts and making bonds good, if the debts or bonds are collectible. If they are not, but debtors are free from criminal charges, they are entitled to the protection of the law from seizure and violence. Medieval methods of dealing with debtors are | not tolerable in this era of law and order. The law of Missouri on the subject is explicit. It should be promptly and vigorously vindicated, a, + > ne! ene Ai ©, lam so giad you cate! Dora: Why?

I note your remarks about the making of bread, muffins, etc., at Decatur of cornmeal and wheat flour mixed. Your statement that tf, as is claimed, they are just as good as if made entirely of wheat, why not sell the mixture for just what it is? is very pertinent; in fact, that is the real point at issue. The effort of those who eell the corn-wheat flour is to put it on the market as wheat flour and thus make a profit by deceiving the people. It was the same with the oleomargarine manufac- ture. The makers claimed that thelr product was as good and as healthy as butter. If so, why not sell it for what it really was and depend on a mar- ket gained on its reputation? Simply because real butter was and is much more valuable in price, and no one would buy oleomergarine at the butter rate knowingly. The maker of the latter was not specially ex- ercised about the public health, but was really anx- ious to get Into the public pocket. In selling oleo for butter or corn flour for wheat there is a very hand- some margin which makes’ the. manufacturer's urse plethoric, he thus gaining all the difference yetween the value of the articles on an honest basis compared with a false one. The real wrong is in- flicted on the honest competitor, who is thus at a oe disadvantage, and the confiding and gulled public, Go for them, and all persons who c guilty of deception. af Hho thems, ore St. Louls.

As it is now, a lady wishing to board a car, and who does not wish to be annoyed by the smoke in the regular smoking car, is obliged to wait for an- other. If she were forced to board this car she would have to endure the smoke of all kinds and grades of tobacco; and on a real cold day one does not care to stand any longer than necessary on a windy corner to wait for the regular car.

Recently a bill was Introduced in Albany to com- pel all laundrymen to give receipts for wash In plain English. It meant death to Chinese laun- dries and Chinatown became alarmed. The result is that Joseph H. Choate will probably become a high priest in the Joss House. This prospect was brought about by a letter from Wu Ting-Fang, the Chinese Minister in Washington, which was re- ceived fn Mott street. That a letter from one 60 high in the favor of the Ruler of the Flowery King- dom should arrive in Chinatown was tn itself an event of sufficient Importance to cause & cessa- tion of all toil and the suspension of games of fan tan.

The first time I ever saw Stalhuete he told me that I must marry him. I told him no. Then he told me that he would kill me if I did not become his wife. He frightened me and in my weakened condition his threats had the desired effect. He told me to act as he directed and if I failed in any way I did so at my peril. He lies when he says he saw mein New York. I was dazed when the marriage ceremony took place. I now recall it but it seems more like a dream. I must have been drugged. “I cannot recall dates, but it seems to me that about the first of the year they drove me out of the house. They never made any pretense of thinking anything of me after the marriage. One morning, about 7 o'clock, and it was a bitter cold morning, they told me to leave. They said they did not care where I went so I went out of their sight. I went down in South St. Louis and ob- tained work in the family of Mr. Thomas at 7800 South Broadway. I had been there about a week when I became too sick to work. Nobody there knew me by the name of Pauline Hoffman. They thought my name was Meyers. When I got too sick to work they called a doctor. He told them what ailed me and 1 was sent here.’ THREE SHOTS INA FLAT Neighbors Heard Them and Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Explain. Residents in the meighborhood of Laclede and Newstead avenu@rare discussing three shots which were fired in the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Scudder Carroll in one of a group of stylish flats at 4348 Laclede ave- nue at 8 o'clock Monday night. Conflicting stories as to the cause of the shooting are being told. A Post-Dispatch reporter called at the Carroll] residence Wednesday morning. Mrs. Carroll is a handsome bride. She was mar- ried last October, and is a daughter of ex- Supre me Judge Bakewell. “There was nothing sensational about the shooting,”’ she said. the Kinloch Telephone Co.

GOOD FOOD AND POCKET MONEY Reads “Les Miserables” and Demon- strates to All That He Is a Philosopher. “John Smith,”’ mystery, is no less a mys- tery because he has temporarily been re- tired from publicity. Indeed the fact that time does not elucidate the mystery makes the case more of a mystery than ever. Meanwhile “John Smith’ pursues the even tenor of his way and takes his im- prisonment philosophically and preserves the same coolness, dignity and reserve which has characterized him from the first moment of his arrest, To a Post-Dispatch reporter he _ said Thursday, when aske d if he was ready to unbosom himself: “I have no more to say I had a week ago,” and to any and all questions about himself Which could have the remotest bearing on his case he gave the stereotyped answer: “I cannot answer that.’ A fortnight in jail has not caused ‘“‘John Smith’’ to unbend perceptibly in his bear- ing towards his fellow prisoners. He held himself aloof from them in the beg: nning, and he does so still. risoner, on being asked what he thought of Smith, said: “He is not in my class."’ This feeling is re- ciprocated by Smith. He evidently does not think any of h'‘s fellow prisoners are tn his elass for a minute. Young Urfer, the clerk charged with stealing Systematic ally from the Holland Jewelry Company, ceived quite an. admiration for Smith.” He said he was the only real gen- tleman he had met in jail, where “gentle- men’’ are a little scarce. This remark was published, Smith, who reads the papers regularly, but the flattery was lost on the ente rpris- | ing young man who falied to get $6000 of Judge Madtil’s wealth. He does not en- courage Urfer’s overtures, and to bid him good day ie about as far as he can conde- aoend to notice him, “John Smith” has shown so plainly his desire to “flock by himself,” as he once expressed it, that although some sneers were cast at him at first, and he was re- SS" eed Potent !

These losses are all covered by insurance, placed mosily with W. C. McCandless & Co. of this city. JOHN A. are smoke was seen issuing from the fourth floor of the Union Storage Co.’s building, on Pike street, near Thirteenth. The build- ing was six stories in height and occupied almoyt the entire block betwen Twelfth and Thirteenth streets and Pike street and Mul- berry alley. The first floor front was occupied as offices of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co. and @ local office of the Union Storage Co. The second floor front contained the stables of the Chautauqua company, and on the Twelfth street end they had their ice-making plant, which occupied the first three floors. j} ‘This was filled with valuable ice making machinery and other property of the Chaun- | tau ua Company. The balance of the bullding was occupied by the storage com- pany. mmediately upon the discovery of the fire an alarm was sent in and respond- ed to promptly, but owing to the construc- tion of the building it was practically im- possible to fight the fire from without while the volume of smoke inside the particular division in which the fire occurred made it practically impossible to fight it from with- in. The only openings in the three fire walls dividing the great buildings were closed by heavy iron doors and these were locked. For three hours the firemen worked ecarcely knowing what they were doing. The iron shutters were impregnable to their attacks. The smoke that found its way out of the building filled Mulberry alley and Pike street, stifiing the firemen and ren- dering them practically sightless. It would clear for a moment or two and they would again endeavor to make some headway, but to no avall, Finally, at 11 o’clock, the flames burst out through the roof and shot upwards a hundred feet in the air and making that part of the city as light as day. This was the first note of alarm that started the filght of residents from their homes on Pike, Thirteenth and Twelfth streets. Women and children started forth barefooted and in their night clothes, fol- lowed by their husbands, bearing what lite tle they could carry in their arms of their household effects. The police were watch- ful and the crowds were kept back by fire lines and the fearful heat of the flames. DEADLY EXPLOSIONS. Suddenly above theroar of the flames and the puffing of the fire engines which were everywhere came the more powerful noise of the first explosion. The din of falling walls foretold destruction and death in thunderous tones. Those within the fire lines were seen to fall in all directions. Those outside the lines were not without the reach of danger. The great puff of air created by the explosion: seemed to make everything sway and shake. Those not knocked down by the reactionary waves of air as the falling walls created a vacuum that seefed to draw in everything. It was on the Mulberry alley side where the least danger was anticipated, the greats est volume of smoke and preliminary out- bursts of flames having come out of the Pike street side, that the force of the ex- plosion was-the most severe and there the greatest numfhber of fatalities took place. The falling walls crushed in the rear o buildings having fronts on Pennsylvania avenue. an entry made for the flames. At Thirteenth street end of the the most terrible effect of the was manifested. The entire piled into the street. explosion for about half an hour between 12 and 1 o’clock. The fire, after each re- explosion front the walls in all directions. Burned out wala came toppling down and firemen, policemen and spectators were rendered almost pow- erless to act by the sense of awe and ter- ror which the scene inspired. The ola/| brick house along Penn avenue and Twelfth to Thirteenth street caught from the rear and burned rapidly. Only a fe\® streams could be used on the Penn avenue front, and the crowd was slowly driven of®! the opposite side of the avenue to greater | distances. A company of firemen Was throwing a stream into the great storage house from a narrow courtyard in the rear ; of Penn avénue, from which a much nar- rower alley led to the street. About 1:30 another heavy explosion occurred and part of the heavy wall of the storage house | toppled over on the roofs of the houses | and into the courtyard. The firemen a® work there escaped by the narrowest chance. In the meantime the scene on Pike street was even more awe inspiring. The instant | following the first big explosion the ware- | house of Hoeveler & Co. caught fire, and this was followed by the falling in of the | walls of the buildinggof the Chautauqua | Lake Ice Company. As the wall fell Chief | Humphries, who was standing near the en- | trance to the narrow street, called to the | men of No. 12 engine company, who had just time to get away from the spot when the line of :hose aad pipe was buried be- neath tons of debris. Their escape was mi- raculous, one fireman named Reilly béing struck by a@ falling brick as he jumped to obey the shouted warning of the chief. | Through the Hoeveler warehouse the flames | swept like a dust cloud before the wind. The | building though new was of ordinary con- Struction and presented al] that was needed | in the way of material fora flerce fire. Added | to this was the nature of its contents, 600 barrels of whisky. One after another of these barrels exploded, throwing blazing beams and rafters, masses of stones and brick into the air and scattering the fire- men, police and spectators. From the blazing timbers which were | hurled in every direction the flre was com- municated to the adjoining buildings. Me- Kallup & Co.’s grain and feed warehouse on the corner of Pike atreet caught tn the rear and, despite the efforts of the firemen the flames worked their way into the éen- ter of the building and then mounted the | It was just 7:55 o'clock last evening when ~ es = a no A Se eee te ee Was s00n pouring.

Mrs. Hutchison told me that she had a daughter, Julia, who had been voo- (ooed a short time before by an old negro in Carondelet known as ‘Old Hoodoo Rotese.’ She said Julia, after belng voo- dooed lay in bed for two weeks without moving a muscle or tasting any sort of food. Julia was cured by old Claiborne Pope, who lives in Venice, Tll., and I was advised to see Dr, Pope. I was afraid of Dr. Pope, but at last I went to see him and what de vou think he said? He told me he was the very voodoo doctor that had cast the spell over me. My husband, my sister-in-law, Mrs. Kidd, and a Mrs. Clay of 1317 Morgan street, were with me when I called on old Claiborne. “That wicked old man sald that three women came to him last March and told him that they wanted me voodoed and would pay him well to do the job. The description he gave of the women answer that of three of my acquaintances whom I know to be enemies. I asked ojd Clat- borne if he could cure me and he replied like this: ‘“ ‘He that maketh not thé thing breaketh, not the thing, but he that maketh the thing by him can the thing be broken. This is my work, children, therefore, I can undo It.’ ‘‘He. asked for $3, but we could give him only $1, promising to send the balance when we got back to the city. Dr. Pope then gave me a stick of wood with instructions to soak it in warm rainwater. After it had soaked for three days I was to drink the water, but I am afraid of him and have never done what he advised.” Claiborne Pope claims to be 9% years old, but he belies his Jooks. When a Post-Dis- patch reporter called upon him he denied that he had cast a spell over Mrs. Wash- ington, and said that if she crawled about on her hands and knees it was a calamity sent from. on high. Mrs. Washington was | told of Pope’s denial of her story and she) said she had four witnesses who would | bear her out.

His Wife Charged That His Cruelties Once Called Out the Fire Depart- ment and He Made Counter« charges of Desertion. Judge Fisher’s courtroom No. 4 was not nearly large enough to accommodate the swarm of witnesses, mostly women, in the four divorce cases to be tried Thursday. The leader of the divorce seekers was Mrs. Hattie S. Waterhouse, who has been fighting her husband in the courts since last fall. The husband, Dr. Bugene R. Waterhouse, made a game fight +g up to the last day. Then he flunked and failed to appear, either in person or by attorney. Mrs. Waterhouse was prepared to hav®@ him ruled out of court in any event as he had failed to pay any of the alimony awarded Mrs. Waterhouse by the court, Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse were married in New London, Ohio, in 1872 and lived together in harmony for a long time. hen they moved to St. Louis they started up a pros- erous pharmacy business at 1018 South tighteenth street. Disagreements reached a climax last September just after Dr. Water- house returned from a trip to Ohio, In some way Mrs. Waterhouse received in- formation that instead of going home Dr. Waterhouse had gone to the residence of Miss Viola Maynor, a patient of his, at 908 North Garrison avenue. With her oldest son, Merle, she es eo outside the Gar- rison avenue house all night and when the doctor appared in the morning she captured him after a short chase. The next day she filed her petition for a divorce naming Miss Maynor as co-respondent, The doctor came back with a cross-bill charging coldness, cruelty and violence aided and assisted by her son Merle. A short time after Mrs. Waterhouse filed another suit ‘and knocked the pharmacy business into a cocked hat by asking for a reeciver. Judge Wood tried the case and the husband and wife fought over every de- tall from the pill rollers to the formula book, which was the corner stone of the business. In the divorce case the court allowed Mrs. Waterhouse $30 a month alimony and $12 attorney’s fees, the latter to be paid on or before Feb. 1. It has not been paid. In the meantime depositions were taken in the case and Miss Maynar was put upon the stand before a commissioner. Shea showed clearly by her testimony that there was nothing at all impfoper in Dr. Water- house’s sojourn at the Garrison avenue flat, There were other ladies in the house, and Dr. Waterhouse being tired and weary from his trip and not particularly anxious to go home anyhow, accepted the invitation to sleep on the couch in the spare room. Mrs. Waterhouse has had all the best of it in the fight. She has the house they live in and most of the assets of the pharmacy besides a judgment for alimony against her husband. Mrs. Waterhouse was granted a dalvorece, amma and the custody of her minor Following on the heels of the Waterhouse case came that of Policeman James Hea- ley against his wife, Della Healey. Mr. Healey says his wife left him in 1891 and has refused to return to him, although he has done every thing in reason to per- suade her to return. She in reply says that he beat her ¢«o severely that the neigh- bore turned in a fire alarm and called out 8 department in order to get help to stop m. Once, she says, he came home drunk, and because she did not get him more liquor he attacked her with a caseknife. On another occasion, she sats, he shot at her twice. A number of times ehe accuses him of driv- ing her out of the house, She had a swarm of her relatives to back her up and Healey had a string of policemen oe swear to his conduct and good char- acter, The wife does not want the divorce grant- ed but asks to be dismissed. The third case on the list was that of FE. P. Guillet against his wife Hattie Guillet to whom he was married in 1888 and with whom he lived until April 21, 1897 when he left her. The ont charge Mr. Guillet has made is that his wife refused to present him with children and he finally left her. A. J. Lawlar, who conducts the Summit Hotel, rounded up the list with a suit He ac- cuses her of neglecting their infant child, Edna, and with not doing her work about the house. She accuses him of infidelity with a woman named Ida Utt, upon whom she says he has expended large sums of money. This case had an unusually large number of witnesses on both sides, who testified to the troubles of the couple, HONOR OF DR. E. H, GREGORY. Young Physicians Form a Society and Give It His Name.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WILKSBARRE, Pa., Feb. 10.—The longer one lUstens to the evidence concerning the killing of unarmed miners at Lattimer by sheriff's deputies armed with repeating rifles, the greater becomes the horror of the tragedy. The testimony has brought out clearly the fact that the men were unarmed, and that volleys of rifle shots were fired after them as they ran across the country like game that has been beaten out of cover. The testimony of George Yeager, who keeps a hotel and who stood behind the battalion of deputies, brings out a startling picture. @ not only- told of seeing the Sheriff's men t or ten volleys, but declared two of them Stepped out several yards from the ranks and fired again and again at the strikers, who were wildly fleeing for shelter. Other witnesses were called to show the roughness of the deputies after the killing was over, and one who seemed very un- willing to talk said Deputy Sheriff John Bornheisen had hauled a wounded mun about by the collar and kicked him. Another witness told of threatening language used by Bornheisen and another deputy before the conflict n. Dodson, a coputy shertts, was charged with having e ed: “I'd like to shoot them (me the ptrikers) at a cent a head and get rich at To offset this picture of horror the de- fense will plead justification. The killing will not be denied, but evidence will be put in to show the strikers were violent; that i had beaten men at McAdoo, at Crystal Ridge and Cranberry who refused to join them; that they broke heads and fractured bones; that the whole scheme of the strikers, which had been going on two weeks before the day at Lattimer, was to force men from the collieries by violence rather than by suasion, This defense will be met by the prose- cutors with a remarkable state of facts. They will show by testimony from the custodian of the minutes of the grand jury that not one of these alleged violent law- less strikers has been indicted and no attempt has been made to have them in- dicted. They will show that not one work- ing coal miner who is said to have been clubbed or stabbed or stoned or threatened or chased through the bushes + de men with revolvers has even made a complaint to any magistrate although there is an le su ly of magistrates for all the mining vil- ages. Nor had any coal operator ever made complaint to any officer of the law that strikers had entered upon his property and acted riotously there, “If the men of Harwood who were shot down like driven rabbits at Lattimer were riotous, intent upon beating men and wrecking oe oo the prosecution will say “surely their companions who were fortunate enough to sufvive were equally guilty. They have not run away like two of the sheriff's deputies who are now fugitives from justice, “They have been and are now within reach of the law. The individuals they are alleged to have beaten, and the coal opera- tors against whom they are alleged to have rioted, have the same chance to go before the grand jury we had. Where are the in- dictments against these men? If they act- ually were riotous doers of violence the Same grand jury would have indicted them that indicted Sheriff James Martin and his deputies for murder, manslaughter and fe- lonious wounding.”’ Just how this shattering reply to the de- fendants’ plea of justification will affect the jury cannot be told until the verdict is rendered. The jurors are all native Amer- icans. Most of them acknowledged on ex- amination they have prejudices against for- eigners, but declared they would try to do strict justice. It is an important fact that the jury listens wy A to every word of testimony. All of the details of the volleys fired again and again after the scat- tered, fleeing men are listened to closely by the jurors, who sit far forward in their chairs and bend toward the witness so they may not lose one word, The effect thus far produced upon the minds of those who have ‘heard the testi- mony-is a picture of some 500 rough miners, many of them of rude and pugnacious dis- strike among their fellows, enter, Not one of the miners str: or shows a weapon. He seizes one, then an battalion of 67 deputy sheriffs drawn up beside the road in a line parallel with the column of strikers there comes a volley of rifle shots. The range of this flanking fire is only 30 or 40 yards, and it sweeps the strik- ers’ column from end to end, At the first broadside the column breaks. The men ran wildly away. As they flee vol- leys and scattering shots bring down vic- tim after victim. It not a battle, it Is a slaughter, RETURN OF ALBERT LINDA. Has Been Missing Two Years and Is Insane. Albert L.

~ CATSPAW . That Is’ What Herbert Will Claim He Is. IMPERSONATED J. H. BAUER. WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO HARM IN IT, SO HE AL- LEGES. FORGED DEED IS MENTIONED. — A Bogus Firm of Real Estate Dealers and a Conspiracy to Defraud on a Large Score Are ' Court Allegations. In the Herbert Mills forgery case, on trial in Judge Zachritz’s court, the defendant on the witness stand told a remarkable story of how he was used as a catepaw by Al- phonso Leftkow, a lawyer in the Union Trust building, and on thie evidence, fitting it to other parts of the testimony which Was uncontradicted, Charles Noland, the defendant's lawyer, in his argument, made the direct charge that Leftkow was the brains of a conspiracy to defraud. Last April Herbert B. Mills was arrested in the office of Mr. 'McMenamy, a real estate agent on Easton avenue, on a chargé of forgery. He called at the office by appoint- ment, having begun negotiations to secure a loan on a forged deed of trust bearing the name of John H. Bauer. At the time of his arrest he was accompanied by Lelft- kow, who wags there to introduce m as Mr. Bauer. After the arrest it was dis- covered that at least two other real estate men had been swindled by the same means, and that at the bettom of it was a bogus firm of real estate dealers, who had opened an office on Olive street under the name of T. T. Turner & Co, Mills was the only one arrested. Charies Williams, @ mem- ber of the Turner firm, escaped. Herbert E. Mills was formerly a saloon keeper at Seventh and Market streets. The testimony for the State, to the effect that on two occasions he represented himself as Bauer to Menamy in an attempt to negotiate the deed of trust, was not con- tradicted, As a witness in his own behalf Mills stated that Leftkow, whom he knew well, told him that he had a client- named Bauer, who wanted to borrow some money on a deed of trust. Bauer was in the country and could not possibly come in, and Leftkow, assuring him that there was nothing wrong about the transaction, asked him to impersonate Bauer go that he, Leftkow, could get the money. lie consented to do s0, and was taken tothe office of T. T. Turner & Co, where he was introduced to Mr, Williams as Mr. Bauer. Williams testified that he took him to McMenamy’s office and {introduced him as Jiauer. Leftkow provided him with a pair of spectacles, saying that he was too young looking for Bauer, The negotiations were begun, and they were told to call agar, On the second visit Leftkow accompanied the defendant to McMenamy’s and identi- fled him as Bauer. But McMenamy had discovered that the deed was a forgery and Officer Gaffney was there when they called. Leftkow said he knew defendant as Mr, Bauer, but, seeing the officer, he added, “‘but I don’t know whether or not he has any property.’ Defendant was imme- diately afterwards arrested. Alphonso Leftkow was placed on the étand and swore that he did not know Mills as such. He knew casually a man under the name of Bauer who resembled the prisoner. ‘On the day of the arrest he had been to a livery stable on Easton ave- nue when he met the prisoner, who asked him to go with him to McMenamy’s office and identify him as Bauer. Thinking that was his name he did go, but he had said he knew nothing about what-property he had. The defense introduced two barkeepers from & saloon at Eleventh and Pine streets who testified that Leftkow frequently came asking for Mills, and when asked which one he wanted, as two ~ | that name frequented the place, he replied that it was Herbert, who formerly@kept a saloon at Seventh and Market streets. Bothmann, the Four Courts saloon and restaurant keeper, eWore that after Milis’ arrest he furnished him with meals on tne order of Leftkow up tq the time Leftkow left for Europe in May, two or three weeks after the arrest of Mills, and that he con- unued to furnish the meals afterwards. Leftkow paid him $10 before he went away, and $11 afterwards. On the witness stand in rebutting this tettimony Leftkow swore that a woman living on Chestnut street had left the money with him to pay for Mills’ meals. He was asked why she came to dim, and he said he did not know. Mr. Noland, in crose-examina- tion, asked him why, under the circumstan- when Mills had nearly involved him and he could not have very vy feelings towards him, he had ac- cepted such a commission. He replied that Bothmann wes a friend of his; and he Simply wanted to throw a little ntoney in his way. Mr. Leftkow was closely examined as to his trip to Europe by Mr. Noland, who attempted, unsuccessfully, to show that he Was in concealment in this city. Witness could not remember when he sailed or re- turned, except that he sailed some time in May and returned some time in Au- gust. He could not at first remmember what steamer he sailed in, but finally said it was the Friesland of the Red Star Line. He landed at Antwerp, he said, went from there to Brussele and thence to London.

Luet- gert, the sausage-maker, was convicted last night of the murder of his wife Louise, and his punishment was fixed at imprisonment for life. Arguments closed at 2:40 p. m., and it was 11 o’clock when the verdict was rendered. The instructions were unusually long and were unique in some particulars. They au- thorized the jury to reject testimony of witnesses where it appeared that their evi- dence had been manufactured by the police, They were also told that the production of the body of Mrs. Luetgert was unnecessary to conviction. Immediately upon announcement of the verdict, Attorney Harmon gave notice that he would apply for a new trial, and asked the court to set an early day for the hear- ing. The crime was committed on the night of May 1, 1897, and Luetgert was arrested on May & The rings which played such an important part in the trial were dis- covered in the vat on the l7th of May. On the 9th and 20th hapveas corpus pro- ceedings to secure the release of Luet- gert were instituted, but failed of their object. He Was indicted om June 6 and on the 19th and 20th of the same month habeas corpusS proceedings were instituted a second time without, success. Aug. 23, the first trial began before uses Tuthill and lasted 61 days, the jury standing three for acquittal and nine for conviction. Nov. 26 the second trial began before Judge Gary and lasted 72 days. During this trial 146 witnesses were examjned, 886 objections to questions were. offered by Attorney Harmon for the defense, Luetgert was on the stand 18% hours and answered 1771 questions put by his own lawyers and 1238 by the State. The record in the case con. sists of 4620 pages typewritten manuscript of an average of 330 words to the page. BROTHERHOOD OF MA THEOSOPHISTS WILL TEACH IT AT OPEN MEETINGS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. The theosophists of St. Louls have com- pleted arrangements to hold public meet- ings to promulgate their theories, just as the churches and spiritual'sts do. There are not many avowed theosophists in St. Louis. There are only two organiza- tions—the Arjune and Harmony branches of the American Theosophical Society, whose headquarters are in New York. Each of these branches has about twenty mem- bers, There are a few theosophists who follow the leadership of Mrs. Annie Besant, the hgad of the Engl'’sh society, but they have not beer’ numerically strong enough to or- ganize. It is possible that the two Ameri- can branches will be amalgamated, and it is hoped the unattached theosophists will join them. It was decided to secure a downtown room, in which meetings open to the public will be held. The rooms of the Single Tax League, in the Century Building, have been secured for this purpose. The plen is to have meetings open to the public on Sunday afternoons, at 2:30 o’clOck, and possibly on Thursday evenings, at 8. If the «wo branches do not amalganjate they will botn use the same rooms and the pub- lic will be invited to attend meetings, Ih any event, the two branches will’act in concert in this matier. Bernard Loevy of the Registry Depart- ment of the Postoffice has been actively engaged in propaganda work, and as a re- sult of his efforts several employes of the postal service are members of the docal yranches, “Our purposes are not generally under- stood,”” said Mr. Loevy. “Our aim is to form the nucleus of an organization whose purpose it is to teach the principles of the universal brotherhood of man. Most people’s idea of us is associated with the doctrine of incarnation and occultism. We believ in phenomena, most of us at least, but w do not expect to reach the public in tha way. We have no creed and we recognize no distinctions of race, color or creed, “Anybody of good moral character cag join us. What we hope to accomplish {ts te ring about a realization of the great truth that all men are brothers. This [s the full scope of our purpose.” Among the theosophists of St. Lou's are: C. FE. Delafie'd and KE, Thiers, President and Secretary respectively of Harmony branch; H. C. Bagot, President of Arjune branch: Bernard Loevy, W. (C. Johnson, Thomas Nolan, Mr. and Mrs. Seth Wheaton, G. L Taylor, Charlies White, William A. Kelsoe, Dr. Lagenphear, Mr. and Mrs. Bolsselear. DR. DUCKER'S CASE SERIOUS, —--— > -—--- Probable That He Will Never Stand Trial in Chicago.

Dr. W. H. Mayfield, Superintendent of the Mayfield Sanitarium, has about completed arrangements for the establishment of a like institution in the Holy Land. The proposed location is on the outskirts of the town of Schmifat, in Syria. The site on the side of the historic Mt. Lebanow commands a magnificent view of the Sea of Gallilee and the country towards Da- mascus, The mountains are in the eastern part of the province of Phoenicia, which adjo'ns Palestine on the south. Schmifat is sup- posed to occupy the ground that gave most of the timber to the construction of the Temple of Solomon. To plan an institution conducted on American methods in this historic land has long been Dr, Mayfieid’s pet project. At the World’s Fair he met Alexander Juriedina, his brother Said and Said Janira. The young men are well connected in Syria and are possessed gf nome means. The repre- sentative of thé Sultan personally indorsed them and explained to Dr. Mayfield that they had come to America to study medi- cine and re work. Dr. Mayfield sought them out and the following term saw the three enrolled as students at the Marion Sims Coliege. Dr. Juriedina was graduated with honors last spring. His brother and Mr. Janira will finish the course this year. In the early summer they will goto Schm!i- fat and open the sanitarium. They have studied the methods in vogue at the May- field and will follow these. A building has been donated by Dr. Jurie- dina and he will act as superintendent. The Mayfield Brothers in this-city are prac- tically proprietors and everything will be done according to their instructions, but owing to the Syrian law as foreigners they are forbidden to acquire real estate. “There is no debt upon the property,”’ said Dr. W. HH, Mayfield, “and Dr. Jurie- dina has given “bond as superintendent and he will make the inetitution self-supporting, ‘‘All maladies such as receive attention here will be treated and we anticipate that American travelers seized with Eastern fev- ers will find it a safe refuge.” WARRANT FOR M.

Fanny Davenport has pleased large audi- ences at the Olympic Theater in seasons past, but she never was more effective than last evening, when she presented Sar- dou’s “Cleopatra.” The advance notices spoke of it a3 a “revival” of “‘Cleopatra,”’ and it was one of the times when the ad- vance notices spoke correctly. The scenery and all the semi-barbaric fS0rgeousness of costume which “Cleopatra” offers oppor- tunity to display is presented in brighter colors and richer texture than ever seen before in St. Louis, and the tempest in the fourth act, a scene always regarded as the height of mechanical effect, has been im- proved to a startling degree. Miss Daven- port's individual] performance is too famil- lar to local theater-goers to cal] for com- ment. As Cleopatra she is the same mag- nificent woman, powerful in her emotions that she has always ‘presented, Mr. Mac- Dowell is a striking Marc Antony, and in the role he has the most congenial part of any assigned him in the Davenport reper- toire. The company supporting Miss Dav- enport is more carefuly selected than those generally surrounding a star of her repu- tation. Mr. Jewett as Kephren, the slave of Cleopatra, was especially strong. “Cleopatra” will be given the last per- formances of this engagement, Friday evening and at the Saturday matinee. Yes- terday afternoon Miss Davenport was seen in “La Tosca,” which will also be given Saturday evening. The single performance of *“‘Fedora,” in which many of Miss Dav- enport’s admirers consider her at her best, will be given this evening. A feature of the production will be the costumes worn by the star in her role of the Princess. She will wear five gowns, each one designed by herself, —o—— Margaret Mather changed her bil] at the Century yesterday afternoon to the “Honeymoon.” This evening she will be seen in “Romeo and Juliet.” Friday even- ing “The Honeymoon“ will be repeated and the one, performance of “Leah” will be given Saturday evening. In connection with Miss Mathers engagement three clever St. Louis girls will be seen for the first time in professional company. They are Miss Octavia Blanche Straat, who will play Volante in “The Honeymoon;” Miss Maud Withaup, who will appear as Made. lina in ‘‘Leah, the Forsaken,” and Miss Sara Warwick Leftwich, who will make her debut as Lady Capulet tn ‘‘Romeo and Juliet.” The young ladies are pupils of Guy Lindsley. —_——O———— Guy Lindsley and his pupils gave an enjoyable presentation of “‘The Fool’s Re- venge’’ Tuesday night at the Pickwick The- ater. The house was well filled and every effort received its measure of friendly ap- plause. Mr. Lindsley’s Bertuccio fully sus- tained that gentleman's high reputation. Miss lL. Maude Withaup made an admira- ble~ Flordelisa, and Miss Octavia Blanche Straat did well as Francesca. In “The Obstinate Family,” a one-act farce which closed the bill, Miss Straat appeared to a better advantage, and was recipient of many deserved compliments. Those who assisted Mr. Lindsley were Misses Sara Warwick Leftwich. Harriet Raeder, Honorine Damond, Nora B. Clark, and Messrs, G. Lester Gruner, Val Vogel, S. Olchovay, Emile Théhilller, Dan Meehan and F. A. Mack. Pine. of the Groticat younaetess who ever Thin in flesh? Perhaps it’s natural. If perfectly well,.this is probably the case.

POST-DISPATCH—FEBRUARY 10, 1898. ith a oe > * POTTER GETS A RE-ELECTION L. A. W. Again Chooses Him For Presiding Officer. GIDEON MADE A GOOD SHOW. MAN FROM NEW YORK, HOW- EVER, HAD HIS FORCES WELL IN HAND, ILLINOIS BROKE OVER TRACES. Providence Given the Next National Assembly of the League After Other Officers Have Been Selected. Just before the National Assembly, L. A. W. went into session at the Southern Hotel Thursday morning it was announced that the Illinois delegates had held a cau- cus and decided to cast their fourteen votea in the convention for Gideon. This announcement sent Gideon stock up and setticd the question as to whether his name would be presented to the convention. The assembly did not go tnto session until ay 1] o’clock this morning. It was called to order by President Potter. The secretary immediately proceeded with the roll-call, and about one hundred and fifty answered to their names. The committee on credentials reported that there were 807 votes represented in the convention, of which 162 were present in person and 145 represented by proxy. The reports of the different committees were read and adopted and then came the election of officers. Mr. Van Valkenburgh of Wisconsin placed the name of Isaac B. | otter of New York in nomination. The name was received with cheers = a loud clapping of hands. Mr. Van Valkenburgh referred to Potter’s hard work for the L. A. W. during’ the last year and to his labors In securing the passage of the baggage bicycle bill through the New York legislature, He called Mr. Potter the “father of good roads” and paid him other high compli- ments. He said Mr. Potter had been a good President, that he had served the league faithfully, honorably and well, and that they would do themselves honor in re-elect- ing him, In sizing up the good deeds of Mr. Potter he closed with ithe injunction, ‘‘Re- member pentiemen one g00od turn deserves another.’ Messrs Casey of Indianapolis, Kireker of New Jersey and Jenkins of New York sec- onded the nomination of Potter. Fred Gerlach of Illinois placed the name of George D. Gideon of Pennsylvania in nomination. This name, too, was received with cheers and considerable enthusiasm. Gerlach said that Gideon wag the man to bring peace and unity to the organization. His speech was. somewhat on the spread- eagle order, and was received with cheers. At its conclusion a delegate from New ‘Hampshire seconded the nomination. of Potter, and an Ohio man announced the vote of that State for Gideon. Another Ohio man said there was one man on that delegation who would vote for Potter. iiliam R. Tucker of Pennsylvania caused considerable comment by casting a reflection on the methods used by the Pot- ter delegates to elect thelr man and said ‘that Pennsylvania would support no such man. He seconded the nomination of Mr. Gideon. Sterling Elliott made a strong appeal for ideon. He said Gideon was the only man who could bring peace and unity to the league. Maryland and Iowa seconded the nomi- nation of Potter. Then the balloting was commenced. After the voting the ballots were placed in the hands of a committee which included Fuller of New York, Hayes of Massachu- setts and Miller of Ohio. They retired to count the votes, and during their retirement the election of the other officers was pro- ceeded with. Mr. Tucker of Pennsylvania placed the hame of Thomas J. Keenan, Jr., of Pitts- burg in nomination for the office of first Vice-president. The nomination wes second- ed by Mr. Bull of New York. Sterling Elliott moved that the secretary be empowered to cast the vote of the full league for Mr. Keenan. The motion was carried and Mr. Keeman was declared elected, I. N. Hines of Detroit, Mich., was nomin- ated for second vice-president and was elected unanimously. James C. Tattersall of/Trenton, N. J., was elected treasurer by a unanimous vote Providence, R. I., Was selected as the pare for holding the next national assem- ly Fred Howard Porter of Boston read an invitation from the wheelmen of New Eng- land, asking the wheelmen of America to hold thetr ‘99 meet in Boston. He was loudly cheered and it looks as though he would get what he asked for. At 1:3 o’clock the committee returned to the convention and announced the re- election of Isaac B. Potter as President of tha L. A. W. by a vote of 212 to 107. Later the election of Potter Was made unanimous. The convention then took a recess until 8 o'clock, when it will be called to order in Masonic Hall. One of the places where the visiting wheelmen will put in some time to-night will be Masonic Hall, where the ‘99 Meet Ciub of Boston ‘have arranged an entertain- ment where the beauties of Boston are to be illustrated by a e6eries of stereopticon views. At 8 o'clock ss? Chief Consul Lu- eas of the Missouri Division will introduce to the audience the talented Secretary- Treasurer of the Massachusetts Division, Mr. Arthur K. Peck, who is eminently qual- ified to talk entertainingly to the delegates and St. Louisans of Boston, its attractive features, of old ocean, the city's wonderful “ark system, its magnificent highways, its istortc and world-famed spots, and of the thousand charms of the city and its suburbs for miles for the wheelmen. His talk will be copiously tllustrated by the very finest dissolving stereopticon views. In addition, tion, W. BE. Pattison of this city, a former Bostonian, will say a few words in favor of Boston and its advantages for the °99 meet. As an introductory the Haicyon Quartette of the Century Road Club of Missouri and the Spanish Mandolin trio willl give a few Selections. A most unique and original invitation has been gotten out by the Boston boys and sent to every member of the National As- sembly of the L. A. W. The invitation is extremely appropriate m its design, it being gotten up in colonial fashion, with etchings oF scones of Bunker Hill and Paul Revere's ue, Yesterday was good roads day and the delegates did nothing but Listen to long Speeches and loaf around the hotel. Last night the annua! banquet was held. There were present at it William H. Baker, H. KB. Fullerton and M. M. Helding, Jr., of the New York division: Sandford Northrup, 5t. Louls: Walter M.

Black of New York, Alva Adams of Colorado, W. H. Ellerbe of South Carolina, Joseph &. John- ston of Alabama and Gov. rer. Frank W. Moulton, one of the Chicago delegates at the Good Roads convention, yesterday drew a picture of the Chicago streets which reminded one very forcibly of the St. Louis streeta. Mr. Moulton said, among other things: “I met a man some months ago who had lived in Chicago 25 ears. He did not ride a wheel, in fact, he looked upon wheelmen as an ever-growing and ubiquitous nuisance, which had to be endured. He was perfectly satisfied with Chicago’s streets. He chuckled when he saw a wheelman jolt over them. He liked oe carts. He enjoyed witnessing the attempt to convert the streets into canals. If a luckless wheelman ehould, perchance, slip, fall, wallow and finally ariee, a sight for the 3, a demoniacal smile would overspre his face, and his s0ul would be filled with ghoulish glee. It is my candid belief that this man actu- ally enjoyed mud. He liked to wade across the streets. Years of assiduous practice had made wading a second nature to him. It is likely that he would in time have been filled with a desire to lie down and wallow in Chicago mud, as dogs wallow in that which has been suddenly ejected from their stomachs. In an unguarded moment, how- ever, he was induced to mount a bicycle. A few days passed, and he could ride. Grad- ually he commenced to speak somewhat uncharitably of the condition of the streets. He gradually learned to hate the sight of a @eprinkling cart. He spoke harshly of mud. His vocabulary naturally grew. He had acquired new ideas, and the ideas re- quired language in which to be expressed. To-day he is a voluble, vehement and un- compromising edvocate of good streets and good roads.’’ Missouri's headquarters have been crowd- ed since the opening day of the assembly, and Chief Consul H. V. Lucas has made all visitors there welcome. Mr. Lucas is to-day the most popular - wheelman in Mis- sourl.

In his connec- tion with the City Streets Committee, of which he was a member since its incep- tion, Mr. Lucas showed his willingness to do all in his power for the improvement of the highways and byways, and since his induction to office, although scarce two months have passed, he has already suc- ceeded in having bullt in the Coliseum an eleven lap board track. showing that the racing end of the game is to receive due consideration and that he is broad’ minded mene to endeavor to conserve all inter- csia.

PLAYERS GOING TO THE SOUTH. The Cincinnati Reds to Move in That Direction on the Last Day of This Month, Tim Hurst, the new manager of the St. Louis Club, was about town yesterday with Tommy Dowd, who is talked of as mext year’s captain of the Browns. ‘I don’t expect to beat the world with the Browns,” said Hurst, “but Pll beat some of them, the Phillies, for instance.” ‘*Yes,"’ said Dowd, “you’ll beat them, I'll bet on that.’’ Hurst says he will have full and complete control of the St. Louis team, and he be- lieves he can make a winner out of it if given the proper encouragement by press and public. “IT have one or two players in view for the team,”’ seid Hurst, “besides those under contract, and out of the lot I expect to get a team that will at least make all comers play ball. I have not — out a training ground as yet, but will probably take the men to West Baden Springs and get them in shape there.’’ Jim Hart, president of the Chicago Club, who passed through St. Louis en route home from the South’ yesterday, has arranged for the players of the Chicago team to leave Chicago March 4, spend a week at West Ba- den, thence go to Waycross for three weeks, then play Southern League clubs at Charles- ton, Montgomery, Calumbus, Augusta, Ma- con, Savannah and New Orleans. Tom Burns will arrive in Chicago in a few days and then it is thought some deals may be made so as to strengthen the Chicago team. Burns would like to get Doyle if Washing- ton would consider the release of the first baseman secured from Baltimore. There is incipient war among the members of the rules committee of the National League and their differences will be fought out at the St. Loule meeting. It is all over the rule relating to what 1s calied rowdy ball. Mr. Hart drafted a rule covering the es- sential features of the noted Brush resolu- tion adopted at Philadelphia. Mr. Hart mildly criticises Hanlon for making public the provisions of the rulé before it had been submitted to the League, and says: “As I framed it the rule does away with the necessity of Brush’s resolution. Mr. Reach Signed it, but Mr. Hanlon opposed it and has come out in the newspapers against it. My proposition is that the umpire’s power to impose fines be taken entirely away, but in lieu of that he be given power to suspend a player not only for the game, but for any time he may see fit. 'n other words, he may say to a player: ‘You get out of this game and you cannot return to the field while 1 am umpiring here.’ ”’ Two weeks from to-day the first move of the professional baseball teams will take place. On that day the Cincinnati team will leave that city for the South. ‘The team will stop over in St. Louis from 6 to ll o'clock on the night of March 3, and may run up town and pay their respects to the magnates, who will then be in session at the spring League meeting. They will arrive in San Antonio Friday, the 4th, loosen up a little Saturday, the 6th, and play their first game, Vets. vs. Colts, Sunday. the 6th The following Sunday the Vets play in San Antonio and the Colts in Austin. : Since it became known that the Ctncin- natis were coming out of Texas on the M K. & T., McAllister, Muskogee, Atoka and Vinita, all flourishing towns tn the Indian Territory, have written for dates.

MONTRBEAL, Quebec, Feb. 9.—A sensation was caused in cycling circles by the pub- lication of a telegram from Winnipeg, Man- itoba, in the annual meeting of the Mani- toba CK. W. A. District. The representa- tives present from the outside clubs sided with the three city elubs and were of the opinion the time had come for’ Manitoba and the Territories to secede from the Ca- nadian Wheelmen’s Association and form an association with the assistance of the States of Minnesota and the Dakotas. The Winnipeg Bicycle Club has the largest members ip by forty of any in Canada, and is strong financially, It ig taking the ia- itiative. It was generally believed that whatever grievances the Manitoba wheelmen had they had been amicably settled long ago, and it was even understood that Winnipe was very anxious to have the next nation meet on Dominion Day held there. One of the peculiar features of the case is that last night, while the Winnipeg cy- clists were arranging to cut loose, a young newspaper man who came from Winnipeg a short time ago, and was a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, was making a long and eloquent speech at the meeting of the Montreal District on behalf of Winnipeg as the city where the next meet should be held. What troubles the heads of the Cana- dian Wheelmen’s Association most at pres- ent is fear that the British Columbia cy- clistg and those of Victoria and Vancouver will break away also. The latter have been rebelling for some time, and their com- plaints and threats to join the California wheelmen became so serious that George W. Orr, President of the C. W. A., had to go there to pacify them. It is-feared that anitoba’s action may cause a general break up. Considerable speculation {is in- dulged in as to how the matter will affect Ty . the L. A. W ae THE CYCLING CLUR’S BALL. It Will Be Held at Liederkranz Hall and Promises Great Things. The St. Louis Cycling Club’s Football Clud of the Association League will give their first grand ball and cake walk at West End Liederkranz Hall, Vandeventer and Easton avenues, Tuesday evening, Feb. 15. This wtll probably be the event of the season, as they are to have a championship cake walk between Mr. Dan FE. Washing- ton, Louie Hall, Allen Carraway, Butch Jones, Jim Carter and Luke Blackburn. The latter has just arrived from New York, where he won second honors tin the recent international watk held at Madison Square Garden with 100 walkers in the field. Mr. Blackburn expects to have a@ sure enough “cake walk’’ over his St. Louls rivals. Prof. Guido Vogel with his famous Olympic Theater orchestra will furnish the sweet music for this occasion, and no doubt the pretty hall will be filled to overflowing, as the wearers of the Maltese cross have a large following.

FOUND ONE OF THE ROBBERS, SHE SAYS, Is A MAN SHE HAS KNOWN FROM HIS BOYHOOD. _ SHE WAS ALONE IN HER HOME. Ben Beringa Has Been Arrested and Identified by the Aged Woman, but He Says He Is an In- nocent Party. Mrs. Mary Loesch, 78 years old, of 8747 Salena street, was robbed, choked and nearly murdered by two burglars because she responded to their demands for money with only $. Heavy soled shoes, hickory clubs and clenched fists were their weapons. One of the men, whom Mrs. Loesch is positive was Benjamin Beringo of 1319 Ar- senal street, said he knew there was more money in the house, He led in the attack, Mrs. Loesch says, and though eghe pleaded with him, calling him “Ben,” the name she had known him by eince a boy, his only reply were oaths and additional kicks and cuffs, She felt as though her last hour had come and to save herself was prepared to tell where $700 was secreted when con- sciousness left her. She was foun# lying apparently dead in an outside doorway in the rear part of the house. Nearly all of her clothing had been torn away and her oo was covered with bruises. Mike Peckerie, who lives next door, found rs. Loesch’s unconscious body, and he awakened his wife, Rose, and other neigh- bors. The limp form was carried into the house, a fire was built in the stove and Drs, we. W. Hicker and H. W. Faber were called. After a time consciousness was restored. It was discovered that Mrs. Loesch’s right leg was badly fractured between the knee and hip, and that the back was injured and badly bruised generally. The shock itself is belleved to as serious as the actual injuries. {rs. Loesch cannot sleep. As goon as she closes her eyes she says she gees the dis- torted faces of the angry men, kicking and pounding her. At times ehe seemg to be a ravi maniaa Neighbors in the vectny of her brother John Loesch’s home, South Third street, where e@he was taken, say that all through the night she can be eard screaming: ‘They shall not kill me;’’ “Help me.” Even while speaking to a Post-Dispatch reporter the awful sight came back in all its reality and Mrs. Loesch cried pitifully: “Oh, 1 it never leave?” she pleaded. Mrs. Loesch is one of the oldest resi- dents of South St. Louis. She is the holder of considerable property and a depositor in the South Side Bank. Her residence for 20 years has been at 8747 Salena. She lived there with her husband until he died two years ago, and since that time her lit- tle niece, Mary Loesch, has been her com- panion. Though her son John wanted her to live with him, fearing just what has taken place, she was loath to leave the old home. For the last few days the old lady has been left alone, her niece visiting her own mother in the country. She had been very attentive to Mrs. Loesch, who had been sick, and now that she was better she needed a vacation herself, Ben Beringa had called on Mrs. Loesch the day of the rebbery, Mrs. Loesch says, and knew that she was to be alone, Hs may also have ascertained that on the same day she collected most of her rent. She had over $700 in the house—hidden in the kitchen be- tween two china saucers, which were under an old ice chest. The burglars ran into the ice chest when they forced open the kitchen door. Mrs. Loesch did not hear them come into the house. The first she knew was when a rough hand grab her. ‘Tt was several seconds before I realized that I was not dreaming, | said Mrs. Loesch to a reporter. “I loo into the men’s faces. recognized one as Ben Beringa. ‘Why, Ben, what's the matter?’ I asked. He cursed and eaid something about not havi time to answer questions. ‘All we want is your, money,’ he said. “When they struck me with thelr fists I said no more. I knew the men were des- perate. Reaching under my pillow I got my purse and handed it to them. “There’s $ in there, Ben. It !s all 1 have,’ I said, and they took it. ‘This is all right, but we want more,’ said the other man. I tried to tell them that I hadn’t any more, They called me an ‘old hae’ and said that I did have more money me | both of them grabbed me, and jerked me out of bed. : ‘““*'We will show you that we mean busi- ness,’ they cried. I can’t remember what took place afterwards except that I began screaming. The men grabbed my throat and choked me. They kicked me about on the floor, and beat me. It was the way they meant to force me to give in I sup- pose. Then I became unconscious.” Bertnga, who has been arrested, was brought before Mrs. Loesch and identified. He looked a while at Mrs. Loesch, without a-word. He will only say to the police that he knows nothing about the robbery. His alleged companion has not yet been arrested. ~ FRISCO CAR REPAIRER MAY DIE. Thomas Warford Frobably Fatally In- jured While at His Work. Thomas B.
