It will be a week to-night since the Maine was destroyed, with more than 250 of her crew.

Sigsbee, printed to-day, but one body of the victims has been recovered through the efforts of the authorities. The whole energy and fesources of the Government have only succeeded in placing two divers on the Maine, who are admittedly incompetent to do the work expected of them and which it was foreseen would be required of them from the very beginning. This inefficiency, the news that the Maine is sinking hourly deeper in the mud, the absence of the President from Faith Regarded as Grave News at Washing- ton. May Be Regarded as an Act of War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Should it be proved that the +—_—+—_¢—_4—_0— > 0 —_ o_o —_0—__0_ 00 _@ Maine was destroyed by an outside explosion with the knowledge | of Spanish officials, President McKinley will demand an indem- nity of from $13,000,000 to $15,000,000. This statement was made to-day by an officer of the Navy De- partment, who is thoroughly conversant with the present Spanish situation. “Tt was decided at a conference of the President and several eabinet officers,” he continued, “that the Spanish Government was bound to protect the vessels of a friendly nation in one of its har- bors, and that if the Maine was destroyed by a submarine mine or torpedo, whether with the knowledge of officials or not, that Gov- ernment must be responsible. The value of the vessel is estimated at $5,000,000. “The rest is to be paid to relatives of officers and men who lost their lives by the destruction of the vessel.” WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The bill to increase the artillery by two regiments passed the Senate by a vote of 52 to 4. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.—An important develop- ment in connection with the Maine disaster is the announcement from Madrid that the Spanish Admiral at Havana has notified his | Maine wreck | £!* Navy Yard officials to have the Terror Government that Spanish divers have explored the and declare that the explosion.was caused by accident.

Some of them will be forwarded to Norfolk, Va. Others will be shipped to the fleet now cruising in the vicinity of Key West. A full supply of stores and small ammunition has @lso been shipped over the Pennsylvania Railroad to Key West. Orders were yesterday received at Fort Lafayette to get ready for transportation all the ammunition now on hand. It chiefly consists of fixed ammunition and explosive shells. Orders were also received at Fort Mifitn to ship large quantities of powder to Fort Lafayette. Advices from a reliable source are that a military attache of the Spanish Govern- ment is in San Francisco. This informant says the t'p has been sent there to prevent him from seeing any more of the defenses than scant courtesy will permit. THE TERROR TO.

A majority of the remains are understood to be those of firemen and many of them are said to have been mutilated in the struggle for life, which the divers say must have been frightful. The military commander of Guanabacoa has ordered the suspension of public festivities as a mark of respect to the memory of the Maine dead. The prohibition will continue for three days. ; , % THE SPANISH ADMIRAL AY HAVA NA TELEGRAPHS THAT THE EXPLOSION OF THE MAINE WAS DUE TO ACCIDENT. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 189%. MADRID, Feb. 22.—The Spanish admiral commanding at Havana telegraphs that the Spanish ‘official investigation into the catastrophe to thé Maine terminated yesterday, and that the first exploration by official divers has shown, up to the present, that the disaster was quite accidental and was not produced by any exterior cause. — Premier Sagasta in person conveyed the official telegram to the Palace, and the Queen Regent expressed satisfaction on hearing the result of the investigation. The Ministers say there is no foundation for the pessimist rumors published by El Imparcial, concerning the relations between Spain and the United States, as, on the contrary, Charge d’Affaires De Bosc wires very reassuring impressions. The Queen will give an audience this afternoon to United States Minister Wood- ford, who will convey thanks telegraphed by President McKinley for her message of condolence. : A considerable sensation has been caused in political circles by telegrams from Havang, announcing a victory of the Radicals in the Cuban Autonomist Assembly. Despite the resistence of the Moderates, led by the Cuban Ministers Galvez and Mon- tero, the Government, it is stated, will be disposed to tolerate not only a modification of the Insular Cabinet, but also such alteration in the Colonial Constitution as the Radical Autonomists might deem necessary—for imstance, in the organization of the colonial tribunals. Such reforms could be made only by Parliament, in virtue of article 34 of the Colonial Constitution, and never by royal decrees. * The Spanish Government will not oppose such constitutional reforms as the Cuban Radical-Autonomists, with Giberga, Amblard. Govin and Dolz, might consider useful, to hasten pacification, on condition, however, that such reforms-did not infringe the sovereign right of Spain in the Colony. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON. POWDER CASE FOUND BY THE DIVERS, INDICATING THAT ONE MAGAZINE EXPLODED. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Pubdlishing Company, 1898. HAVANA, Feb. 22.—A six-inch powder case was brought up by divers at work in the forward end of the wreck of the Maine. the six-inch magazimes, This is strong ev#@ence that at least the rear one of the forward group of small magazines exploded. The dase, I am informed, is ripped open and crumpled. It is of copper with a lapped-over seam, and contained brown powder with a few grains of black. Nothing has been done toward ascertaining the cause of the explosion. The real cause cannot be actually proved until it is learned whether the top of the forward turret is on or not. It was over the main magazine and was thrown into the harbor away from the ship. Many of the most curious stories are floating about. One man says he was sleeping in one of the Maine’s hoats—he does not know on which side of the ship—when he felt an awful shock and found himself aboard the burning ship. From the cabin of Capt. Sigsbee, which is the most accessible part of the wreck, numerous articles have been recovered, among others a bicycle, some swords, the en- listment record of E. L. Noble, a fireman, now dead, and Captain Sigsbee’s silver service plate, presented by the State of Maine. Still further down in the ship were found half a dozen packages of chewing gum. The work has been almost all by torch, although now, I am informed, the Man- grove has run an electric wire over the wreck rigged with lamps. The forward divers had perilous work. The Maine really is chewed up there, and there was great danger of the air hose being sawed by the ragged plate edges, and of the life line getting afoul of wreckage. The.divers say this part of the ship is awful. Bodies are packed betwee? tables, boxes and beams. They fall almost to pieces when touched and many of them can never be taken out. Nearly all could have been saved intact by the World and Post-Dispatch divers on Thursday and Friday. The divers working in the forward part of the shattered hull were Warrant Officer Morgan of the New York and the chief gunner’s mate of the Iowa, under the charge of Ensign Baumly. The Maine’s diver, Reddin, and Fisher of the New York were working in the undestroyed stern of the Maine. Lieutenant Commander Wainwright still is in general charge. The navy divers are enthusiastic, but not equal to the requirements. Inky water is against them. The World and Post-Dispatch’s divers could have done the work. As it was, rain even interfered. The bodies of Lieut. Jenkins, Assistant Engineer Merritt and about 100 others have not been recovered, although the World and Post-Dispatch’s offer of divers was made long enough ago to have insured the saving of them all, and most of them in a state of preservation to permit identification. About 50 men sleeping in the center of the Maine on the berth deck probably never will be accounted for. They must have been blown to pieces. The divers already have seen some skeletons of bodies which the vultures had picked clean while floating under the ruins where the Spanish patrol boats could not get them. Koehlér and Holzer, in the San Ambrosio Hospital, are very low. Koehler is delirious all the time. Holzer has received the last sacrament from Chaplain Ched- wick. st The six others in the hospital are doing well. Some can read and smoke when some one holds the cigarettes for them. All have burned arms and hands, but are brave and patient. In the Alfonso XII. Military Hospital, a new and sanitary structure, there are three of the Maine’s wounded. They are doing well. One named Weber said to Chaplain Chedwick to-day: “O, no, Chaplain, we are not afraid of dying here except from the gout.” They are being very well looked after. Surgeon Hennebezer explains the reason why Clara Barton's house, in Buenos Ayres, is not used for the wounded instead of San Ambrosio Hospital by stating that the patients could be moved aboard a ship by water much ecasier than to Miss Barton's house ashore. Each will be moved, he says, when he is able. The graceful courtesy of the Spanish surgeons 1s shown by a sign posted at the entrance to the hospital ward where the Maine's sufferers are. It reads: “Take off your hat upon entering this room.” This is an unusual thing for this country, where one walks into the theater with his hat on. The Spanish Red Cross deserves praise for having assisted on that terrible Tues- day night. It sent stretchers to the Machira for the immediate transport of the wounded to the hospital. After the cable office closed Sunday night a dull explosion was heardin the city and there was great excitement for a few moments. It being carnival time the streets were thronged, all the theaters and al! the clubs had dances. Everybody started for the water front. The sound seemedito come from the bay. On passing a police station | saw a wounded man being carried from a carraide. He was Gonzalez Jouin, who had a hole in his left knee from a piece of roof a which had been hurled by the explosion of a small_petard on the top of a small building adjoining the Iripoa Theater. ° ‘ The wounded people were in the balcony theater watching the carnival comps".

THE APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCED TUESDAY MORNING BY GOV. STEPHENS. APPROVED BY THE LOCAL BAR. Mr. Marshall Is Now in Washington Arguing the Laclede Gas Case and Will Return Saturday. A telegram from Jefferson City to the Post-Dispatch Tuesday morning states that Gov. Stephens has appointed City Counsel- or William C. Marshall of St. Louis as a Supreme Judge to succeed Judge George B. Macfarlane, recently deceased. The appointment is for a period of eight months, ending with the result of the next general election. There will then be chosen a successor to Judge Macfarlane, who wiil serve for the remainder of the unexpired term of four years.

Sam Swillig Confesses That He Broke Into a Mail Oar at Union @ta- tion and Stole the Clerks’ Watches aud Money, The burglar who entered a mall car in the Union Station shed at night on Feb. &5 and stole the watches and money of the sleep- ing mall clerks has been arrested at Walnut Ridge, Ark. His name is Sam Swillig. With him at the time of his arrest was one thought to be a handsome boy, with short, curly black hair and saucy blue eycs. The boy proved to be Swillig’s young wife. Swillig was formerly a railway postal clerk, which accounts for his having @ key to the car door. —_—— 4s “4 4. Dates . WILLIAM Cc. The etrongest support that Judge Mar- shall had for the position came from tae fact, it is eaid, that Judge Marshall had the unanimous indorsement for the position from the State Supreme Court as against Judge Valliant. Immediately after the death of Judge Macfarlane it became apparent that the city was very nearly unanimous fn the opinion that Mr. Marshall should and would receive the appointment. There was only one other name men- tioned, that of Judge Leroy B. Valliant, tn whose interest several gentlemen made pil- grimages to Jefferson City. Judge Valilant has aspired to a Supreme Judgeship for three years, and it was understood at one time that in the event of a vacancy he would be appointed, and that Gen. James M. Lewis would succeed him on the Circult bench. In pursuance of this programme no stone was left unturned. The intimacy between Gov. Stone and Judge Valilant was such that after Hugh Brady had made an argu- ment in the matter, at the Judge's own home, Judge Valliant eppointed Gov. Stone Receiver of the Mullanphy Bank, from which the ex-Governor has already received $18.000 and will receive when all is done, perhaps, $40,000 for his*services in closing up the affairs of the bank. When Judge Barcliay’s resignation was announced, friends of Judge Valliant were certain he would receive the appointment. But he did not. The death of Judge Macfarlane made an- other vacancy, and gave one more o portun- ity for the appointment of Judge Valliant. This time his friends were sure. But the almost unanimous sentiment in favor of Mr. Marshall intervened, and disappoint- ment has fallen once more upon the Judge “ a ampperioes, ‘tilam CC.

He wanted to He has been frightfully hampered. The Captain sent Saturday a formal request for the privilege of beginning diving on the Maine, which we thought was American territory from stem to stern, in- side and out. The messenger went to the Spanish warship Alphonso XII., then to the Admiral, then to the Captain of the Port, then to the Admiral, and failed to get an answer. Capt. Sigsbee asked again for permission to investigate the outside of the wreck, but the permission was not granted. Certainly no absolute proof has been secured yet as to whether the forward mag- azine exploded or not. The Chapman-Merritt Co.’s powerful wrecking boat Neptune is expected to-day. She has big pumps and heavy cranes for hoisting up the Maine’s big guns and turrets, too, perhaps. Ske will be useless unless permission is granted for her fo work outside the wreck, for the turrets are there. The investigation of the inside of the wreck and of the outside-if Spain’s kind per- mission ig given—will be pushed to-day.

Americans. ° Or ¥ plain clothes. — ————- ship. breaking of faith. But this is not believed to be the case, except by a few extremists, who aver that despairing of driving us to war by biowing up a warship, the Spaniards have taken sti.l more outrageous steps. Neither Judge Day nor any one else in authority will speak upon the subject, but many prom- inent officials say that doubtless a “snap’’ court of Spanish naval officers has been held, and that the verdict cabled to Madrid was reached without actually penetrating the wreck oi infringing upon our rights. But even this view or explanation .s re- garded as being serious and provocative, and the hope is expressed on every side that the cabled story rests upon some misunder- standing by the authorities in Madrid. It and the hope is expressed on every side that while the notes in which the views oi our Government on the procedure of the inquiry were published, the repties of the Spanish Government were not giygn pub- L.city. While this excitement exists, Secretary Long is haggling over the price to pay for raising the ship. The proposition of the wrecking companies is to undertake the work at $800 a day for an indefinite period and a bonus of $100,000 when the vessel is delivered at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Sec- retary Long regards the proposed contract as too elastic. He desires that the rate of $800 be Imited to a fixed number of days. the degree of liability the United States would assume in the event that the appar- atus of the wreckers was damaged or lost through Spanish treachery. The Govern- ment is reported to have: declined to pay any indemnity in suth a case, and not un- to endanger the lives of their men and their vessels under these circumstances. The terms demanded by the wrecking com- panies are regarded by those in position to be informed as unusually reasonable. Some even expected that the charges would be three times the sum asked. Charles H,. Cramp says $500,000 is not too much. (It cost $209,000 to pull the St. Paul off a bar at New York.) The wrecking ves- sels are at Key West awaiting orders, but | breakdown,”’ this | frightful delay in giving a contract to raise the Maine and the other is the news that a ship board of inquiry has reported to Madrid that the explosion occurred on the This last news, as‘told in a special cable to the Post-Dispatch, is regatded here | as of the gravest description. Should the Spanish authorities, taking advantage of our delay, have entered the wreck, which we have notified them we regard as, American soil, the action could only be regarded as a casus belli. It is a violent ‘‘A hiteh has unfortunate- Mr. Long says: iv arisen in the terms of the contract. “Therefore, in this very important mat- ter, that of saving the snip. tne s of entombed sailors and securing the évidence upon which war or peace may depend, practically nothing has béen gone since the first news of the disaster was received. There is no desire mantfeated here to place blame where perhaps in the end it may not appear to belong, but it is impos- sible to disguise the fact that this “official throwing away of the precious time which sufely will make the raising of the Maine’most difficult, and perhaps impossible, has made the most de- plorable impression here. It is perkhiaps only safe to say that some one has biun- dered: that Capt. Sigsbee and those who are with him in the trying circumstances which rpign in Havana have not been sup- ported as they should have been and that now, six days after the disaster, the Gov- ernment of the United States not only can not promise that the ship will be raised.

LOFTY VIEWS OF GOVERNMENT WHICH ‘TIME HAS TESTED AND FOUND ENDURING. WASHINGTON’S PRINCIPLES. geading Features Were Dependence on Divine Providence, Cherishing the Public Credit, Just Dealing With Foreign Governments. 22.—Willlam Me- Inited States, was PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Kinley, President of the 1 the guest of honor in Philadelphia to-day. Before the students of the University of Pennsylvania he delivered the following ad- dress, the occasion being the celebration of Washington's birthday: Mr. Provost, Officers and Students of the University of Pennsyivania, Ladies and Gentlemen: We celebrate here, as tn every part of our country, the birthday of a great patriot, who assured the beginnine of a great na- tion. This day belongs to patriotism and the people. But, in a certain sense, the University of Pennsylvania has a special reason for honoring the of February. For over half a century, with ever increas- ing popularity and ‘public recognition, you have observed the occasion, either as a holiday or with patriotic exercises, par- ticipated tn by faculty and students. No other American institution of learning has @ prouder title to the venerat’on of Wash- ington’'s memory than this, whose founda tion was lvid in colonial days, nearly fifty years before Pennsylvania became a State; whose progress was largely due to the aciivity of Franklin and other zealous and far-seeing patriots, and whose trustees wero on terms of sufficient intimacy with Washington to congratulate hm upon his election to the presidency, and to receive from him a notable reply, which has passed into the history of the times. Washington, too, belonged to the brother- hood of the alumni of this institution, hav- ing accepted the degree of Doctor of Laws, conferred upon him in 1783--an honor doubt- less the more appreciated when he recalled the events which gave him closer and peculiar attachment to the City of Phila- delphia. ‘ No wonder that your great university has made the twenty-second of February its most impressive ceremonial, and devoted its annual exercises to special tributes to the memory of he first President of the United States, and the patriotic themes which clus- ter thickly about his life and work. I re- joice with you in the day. I rejoice, also, that throughout this broad land the birth- day of the patriot leader is faithfully observed and celebrated with an enthusiasm and earnestness which testify to the virtue and gratitude of the American people. It would not be possible in the compara- tive short time to which these exercises must to-day be limited to fo'low Washing- ton in his long and distinguished services at the head of the army, and as chief exec- utive ef the Government. My purposes is simply to call to your attention a few points in Washington's career which have sinszularly impressed me, and refer to some assages in his writings that seem peculiar- y appropriate for the guidance of the peo- ple who, under our form of government, have in their keeping the well being of the country. In its entirety, Washington's public life is as familiar to the American student as the history of the United States. They are associated in holy and _ Indissoluble bonds. The one is incomplete without the other. Washington's character and achieve- ments have been a part of the school books of the nation for more than a century and have moved American youth and manhood 2d ‘to aspire to the highest ideals of responsible citizenship. With enduring fame as a great Boldier the world has recognized his equal accomplishments in the paths of statesman- ship. As a soldier he was peerless in the times in which he lived, and as a statesman his rank is fixed with the most illustrious in any country or in any age. But with all our pride in Washington, we nor infrequently fail to give him credit for his marvelous genius as a constructive tatesman. Weare constantly in danger of losing sight of the sweep and clearness of his comprehengion, which accurately grasped the problems of the remote future and knew how to formulate the best means for their solution, It Was committed to Washington to launch our ship of state. He had neither precedent nor predecessor to help him. He welded -the scattered and, at times, antagonistic colonies ‘Imto an inde- atructible union, and inculcated the lessons of mutual torbearance and ret which have cemented the States into still closer bonds of sympathy and interest. From the time when Washington declared in his Virginia home that he would raise a thousand men and equip them at his own expense, to march to the defence of Boston, he became the masterful spirit of the Conti- nental army, and the mightiest single factor in the Continent’s struggle for liberty and independence. Apparently without personal ambition, spurning royal honors when they were suggested to him, he fulfilled a still more glorious destiny as the guiding force of a civilization freer and mightier than the history of man had ever known. Though Washington's exalted character and the most stri ing acts of his brilliant cord are too familiar to be recounted ere where so many times they have re- ceived eloquent and deserved eulogy, yet often as the story is retold, it engages our love and admiration, and interest. We love to recall his noble unselfishness, his herolo purpose, the power of his magnificent per- sonality, his glorious achievements for man- kind and his stalwart and unfilinching de- votion to independence, liberty and union. Those cannot too often told or be too A slaveholder himself, he yet hated slavery;and provided in his ' will for the emancipation of his slaves. Not tically th . coy 8 a college graduate he was always enthusias- friend of liberal education. on every seul le occasion to impress upon Congress and the country ' the importance of a high standard of gen- ——— ai . eral education, and characterized the dif- fusion of knowledge as the most essential element of strength in the system of free rocoanent, That learning should go with berty and that liberty is never endangered 60 long as it is in the keeping of intelligent i . was the ideal civic code which his uent utterances never failed to enforce. And how reverent always was this great tan; how prompt and generous his recog- — of the guiding hand of Divine Prov- ence in establishing and controlling the seaneanes of the colonies and the republic. his we etill feel, and I trust a vy fo wil. ware ae he oa 4 th = Rl e revo on, reociving, by 15 Minutes Sufficient dits of the people, and commanding the re- spect and admiration of the civilized world, he did not forget that his first official act as President should be fervent supplication to the Almighty Being who rules the unt- verse. It ig he who precides in the councils of nations and whose providential aid can supply every human defect. It is his bere- diction which we most want and which can and wili/consecrate the liberties and happi- ness of/ the people of the United States. With his help the instruments of the citi- zens employed to carry out their purposes will succeed in the functions allotted to public life. ' But Washington, on this occasion, went further and spoke for the people, assum- ing that he but voiced the sentiment of the young nation in thus making faith in Almighty God and reliance upon his favor and care of the strong foundations of the Government then inaugurated. And, pro- ceeding, Washington stated the reasons for his belief in language so exalted that it should be graven deep upon the mind of every patriot: ae ee can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand whieh con- ducts the affairs of man more than the peo- ple of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation geems to have been distinguished by some token of provi- dential agency; and, in the important revo- lution just accomplished in the system of their united Government, the tranqull de- liberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct communities from which the events resu cannot be compared with the means by which most Governments have been established without sume return of pi- ous gratitude along with an humble antici- pation of the future blessings which the same seems to presage. The reflections arising out of the present crisis have forced themselves strongly upon my mind.” The Senate of the United States made fitting peaponee of its appreciation of this portion of the President’s inaugural ad- dress when its members declared that “A review of the many signal instances of divine intervention in favor of the country claims our most plous gratitude and that they were inevitably led to acknowledge and adore the great Arbiter of the universe by whom empires rise and fall.’’ Congress added its sanction by providing that “‘after the oath shall have been aéd- ministered to the President, he, attended by the Vice-President and the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, pro- ceed to St. Paul’s chapel to hear divine services performed by the Chaplain of Con- gress, already appointed.’’ _Not alone upon days of thanksgiving or in times of trial should we, as a people, remember and follow the example thus set by the fathers, but never in our future, as & nation, shouid we forget the eat moral and religious principles which they enunci- ated and defended as their most precious heritage. In an age of great activity, of industrial and commerciz:! strife aad of ag! eng a problems we should never abandon the sim- ble faith in Almighty God, as recognized in the name of the American people by Wash- ington and the first Congress. But if a timely lesson is to be drawn from the opinions of Washington on his Assuming the office of President, so, also, igs much practical benefit to be derived from the present application of portions of his farewell address, a document in which Washington laid down principles which ap- peared to him ‘“al] important to the per- manence of your felicity as a people.’ In that address Washington contends in part (1) fer the promotion of institutions of learning; (2) for cherishing the public credit; (3) for the observance of good faith and justice toward all nations. One hundred years ago free schools were little Known. in the United States. here were excellent schools for the ywell-to-do and charitable institutions for the instruc- tion of boys and girls without means, but the free public school, open alike to the child of the rich and "poor and supported by the State, awaited creation and develop- ment. The seed planted by the fathers soon bore fruit. Free schoola were the necessary supplement of free men. The wise and liberal provisions for public in- stitutions by the fathers, second only in ef- fect to their struggle for the independence and creation of the Union, were destined at no distant date to produce the moat wonderful reeults. As the country has grown, education fostered by the State has kept pace with it. Rich as are the col- legiate endowments of the old world, none of them: excel in munificence the gifts made to educational institutions by the people of the United States and by their woaplangggece in conformity with “the in- uence which sound learning has on re- ligion and manners, on government, liberty and laws.’’ Adams and Madison, Jefferson and Hamil- ton, Sherman and Trumbull, Hancock, Jay, Marshall, the Clintons and many others of our early statesmen were scarcely less ear- nest and eloquent than Washington him- self in pleading the cause of sound and liberal education for the people. Nor does this seem surprising when we r@ flect that the truest aim and worthiest aim- bition of education is not finished scholar- ship for the favored few, but the elevation of a high standard of citizenship among the many. I have had peculiar satisfaction in the fact that Washington, in those early days, when engrossed with mighty govern- mental problems, did not forget his con- tributions for the education of the poor and left in his will a bequest to he dedicated to free public instruction. Nothing better. tells the value placed upon knowledge as an es- sential to the highest and best citizenship. How priceless is a liberal education. In it- self what a rich endowment. It ts not im- paired by age, but its value increases with use. No one can employ it but its rightful owner. He alone can illugtrate its worth and en- joy its rewards. It cannot be inherited or purchased. It must be acquired by indi- vidual effort. It can be secured only by perseverance and self-denial. But tt is as free as the air we breathe. Nelther race nor nationality mor sex can debar the earnest seeker from its ssession. It is not ex- clusive, but inclusive in the broadest and st sense. It is within the reach of all who really want it and are brave enough to struggle for it. The earnest rich and the worthy poor are equal and friendly rivals in its pursuit, and neither is exempt- ed from any of the sacrifices necessary coe its acquisition. The key to !fts title is not the bright allurements of rank and station. wae, eae eimple watchword of work and study. A liberal education is the prize of individ- ual industry. It is the greatest blessing that a man or woman can enjoy when sup- ported by virtue, morality and noble aims. But the acquirement of learning in our schools and colleges seems so easy that we are apt to underestimate ite value and let the gaportunticy to win it slip by until re- gretfully we find that the chance ie gone. The rudiments must be ingrafted in youth, or with rare exceptions ey are forever lost. Life to most is a struggle and there its little time for the contemplation of the theoretical when the practical is pressing at every hand. B8Stern duty monopolizes our time. e command of others controls our references and often defeats our inten} ons. By gene 4 adhering to a firm pur- ose amid the activities of life we may keep n touch with the Hterature of the day, but to go back to the classics or grapple with the foundations of the sciences is beyond the power of most men when they have entered upon their chosen business or pro- feasion. One's mental fighting. often a hand-to- hand conflict with obstacles and tempta- tions, is a battle of his own, a campaign whose motive force is individuality rather than circumstances or luck. Nor has any prescription yet been found to take the place of application and self-denial and per- sonal struggles which have given to the world its greatest leaders and noblest achievements. * “Cheerish the public credit."" How much both of reflection and instruction is com- bined in this simple admonition of the fath- er of his country. . The United States emerged from the bitter and prolonged struggle of the Revolutionary War exhaust- ed financially and with a hundred existin erplexities and difficulties which remain © be solved before the financial credit of the new nation could be established at home and demonstrated abroad. But Washington knew how to gather around him and place in positions of the greatest trust the able financiers and econ- omists, Whose names the country still ven- erate and whose great work it still enjoys. Hamilton and Morris and Gallatin and oth- ers were successful in establishing the Treasury and inaugurating the financial operations of this vernment upon prin- ciples which recogniz that the most en- during basis of national credit was national honor and that whatever other assets we mignt have or acquire, that was indispen- sable. first. last and all the time, if we _— credit.

With this cos- tume Miss Mellon wore a big white hat, elaborately trimmed with pale yellow os- trich plumes, and carried a shower bouquet of Marechal Niel roses. The bride’s gown was of white satin mervelilleux, over rose colored taffeta, the skirt en traine and the corsage high, with yoke and sleeves of shirred chiffon. The ffont of the entire cos- tume was trimmed with knife pleating of white chiffon. A bandeau of pearls confined the tulle wedding veil to the lovely head of the bride, who cagried an ivory bound pray- er-book in lieu of a bouquet. The ushers and groomsmen were Messrs. Edwin Sheble and George Mellon. After the ceremony an elegant breakfast was served at the bride’s home, 2724 Wash- ington avenue, to the bridal party only The table was beautifully decorated with yellow roses, lilies of the valley and smilax, while about the room were several large clusters of golden jonquils Mr. end Mrs. Judge left immediately after the breakfast for a two months’ stay in the South.

From the day our flag was unfurled to the present hour, no stain of a just obliga- tion violated has yet tarnished the Amer- ican mame. This must and will be as true in the future as it has been in the past. There will be prophets of evil and false teachers. Some part of the column may waver and wander away from the stand- ard. but there will ever rally around it a mighty majority to preserve it stainless and in honor. At no point in his administration does Washington appear in grander proportions than when he enunciates his ideas in re- gard to the foreign policy of the govern- ment: “Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all; religion and morality enjoin this conduct. Can it be that good policy does mot equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted jus- tice and bemevolence.”’ To-day, nearly a century from Washing- ton’s death, we turn reverentially to study the leading pesecinies of that comprehensive chart for the guidance of the people. It was his unflinching, unmovable devotion to these perceptions of duty which more than anything else made him what he was and contributed so directly to make us what we are. Following the precepts of Washington We cannot err. The wise lessons in govern- wee which he left will be profitable to eed. He seems to have grasped all possible con- ditiong and pointed the way safely to meet them. He has established danger signals ali along the pathway of the nation’s march. He has warned us against false lights. He has taught us the true philosophy Pa perfect union,” and shown us the graphic dangers from sectionalism and wild and un- reasonable party spirit. He has emphasized the secant’: at all times for the exerc.se of sober and dispassionate judgment. Sech a judgment, my fellow citizens, is the best safeguard in calm and «tranquil events and riseg superior and triumphant above the storms of woe and peril. We have every incentive to cherish the memory and teachings of Washington. His wisdom and foresight have been confirmed and vindicated after more than a century of experience. His best eulogy is the work he wrought, his highest tribute is the great republic which he and his compatriots founded. From 4,000,000 we have grown to more than 70,000,000 of people, while our progrete in industry, learning and the arts as been the wonder of the world. What the future will be depends upon ourselves and that future will brin still greater blessings to a free people I cannot doubt. With education and morality in their homes, loyalty to the underlying principles of free overnment in their hearts and law and fustice fostered and exemplified by those tn- rusted with public administration we will continue to enjoy the respect of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God.

HE NEGLECTED HER AND THIS WORLD HAD NO MORE CHARMS IN STORE, DRANK CARBOLIC _ ACID. When Harry Smith Tried to Rouse Her at the Hotel Victor She Was in the Throes of Death and Soon Passed Away. The pretty figure of a woman lay stretched at length in the dead house of the City Hospital Tuesday morning. It was the last of Annie Smith who, as one more unfortu- Mate, weary of breath, ended her sorrow with carbolic acid, Annie had a room at the Victor Hotel, that was paid for by one Harry Smith, a smooth-faced young:fellow with whom she appeared to infatuated. Smith ts a peripa- tetic bartender. His business was to seek and obtain the bar privileges at dances and other festive gatherings where liquors hy allowed to be sold. He roomed at the Tictor. The woman rarely left her room at the hotel, except for meals, and had no asso- ciliates of any kind except Smith. Being thus devoted to him she demanded equal de- votion in return. In this mood she devel- oped jealousy, and while the employes of the house say she never made any noise or created a scene she always appeared wistful and frequently troubled. The story told by Clerk Peterson was one of tribute to Annie Smith’s fidelity. He said: “She came here about six weeks ago and conducted herself so well that she at once (Roe 3 \ A «tN ne, D> et Ae YQ j C 4 4 by mile Sy Hf if ete | ; % ye ii iy At eae WE. iB mK egg . ‘ of ' UZ, t i= \ a G A™ ~~ % i) g im. j ~ i ANNIE SMITH. got the respect of everybody about the place. She never went anywhere and didn’t seem to to be interested in anything or anybody but Smith. She was a remarkably pretty woman tention. **T noticed meng night. She was in h unusual about her last er room, as usual. But Smith was out late. He came in here at 3 o’clock and I gave him the key. He went at once to her room, which is near my office, and I heard him irying to arouse her. At last he said, in an excited way: : ‘*Annie, what is ‘the matter with you? For God's sake, what have you done?’ ° “Then he ran out and told me he thought Annie had taken some sort of poison, as she seemed to be choking and he could not arouse her. ‘‘We both started for a doctor, he in one direction and I in another. I madea circuit of the block and failed to find one. He was more successful and brought an old gentle- man who had responded to Smith’s call. The doctor gave the young woman gly- cerine and went to work vigorously to bring her back to life. He worked until 5 o’clock and then he said she was becoming worse and it would be better to remove her to the hospital. ‘IT telephoned for an ambulance and Smith and I helped carry the woman downstairs. ‘Smith accompanied her to the dispensary, but before going he locked her room door and took the key with him, declaring he would be back again in an hour or two, and that meanwhile nobody should f° near the room. That’s all I know about It.”’ At the dispensary Smith said the woman was 22 years old, and that he had known her for several months. He said he could assign no reason why she should take poison. The dyspensary physicians saw the critical condition of the young woman and directed her removal to the City Hospital. There she remained unconscious until] nearly 7 o’clock, when death ended her terrible suf- ferings. : The clerk of the Victor Hotel says Annie could not speak; when she was found by Smith in her room. She was then gasping hard for breath, and gave no sign of being conscious. At least she paid no attention to inquiries. The clerk gucceeded in t- ting the aid of a woman who lives near by, and she was with the doctor and Smith dur- ing the long effort to restore consclous- ness, but she says Annie never at any time said an intelligible word. Annie Smith appeared to have been a pretty woman. She had brown hair, dark lue eyes, rerular features and was modast- ly and becomingly attired. A SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHER.

The purchasers will begin the removal of the stock Wednesday morning. The sale, which created much talk and no littie surprise around the Cupples block, in which both companies have their offices, was consummated by Col. Ford of Ford & Doan. The terms of the sale were not made public, but it is understood that the stock of the Bauer company was extensive and that it was sold at a high price. For some time it had been gossip around Cupples Station that the Meyer-Schmid and Bauer concerns would consolidate, and the announcement of @ sale was not wholly uniooked for by the trade. George A. Meyer, president of the Meyer- Schmid Grocer Co., said that his firm would not only take the Baver Company's stock and fixtures, but. would engage nearly all of the latter company’s traveling saleemen.

ARCHBISHOP HENNESSY UPHELD Corpus Christi Parish at Fort Dodge Divided as He Directed. FORT DODGE, Io., Feb. 22.—The famous Corpus Christ! parish division ease is offi- clally at anend. Archbishop Hennessy of Dubuque ordered the div'sion of the parish, as is his usual custom, without consulting the congregation here, They rebelled vig- orousiy and much bad feeling arose. From being one of the wealthiest producers of revenue in the dioces@ it became one of the oorest. The Archbishop went ahead and ullt another church In the new parish, but the ee ge nga would not attend it while awaiting the result of an appeal to Mer. Martineill. The Archbishop's authority to make such a division when, in his judg- ment, the interests of the church will be served, is fully r nized. The United States is stili treated as a mission field, and in mission flelds the canon law in such matters is suspended upon the theory that in a developing field these divisions are constantly requ.red, and that the Bishop is a more important judge of the occasion for them than the parish iteelf. For example. at one time in the early days this parish extended about one hundred miles tn both directions. It had been divided again and agnuin by authority of the Bishop, until 4 or © parishes have been created out one, THEY NEVER | WILL LEARN, A Swan Side (1i1.)

Extraordinary precautions are being taken by the authori- ties to guard the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya from injury in New York harbor. It is presumed that an essential part of this care is to place the ship where no Government submarine mine could destroy or even injure the ship and where the chances of injury from any outside cause would be least. It is a mat- ter of honor with the United States Government to see that the Vizcaya is not injured through the fault of the authori- ties while peace is maintained. Let the case of the Maine be viewed from this standpoint. The berth of the Maine was selected by the Havana harbor- master. She was anchored in this berth under his direction and, it is reported, despite the protests of Capt. Sigsbee. That, however, is immaterial except as evidence of Capt. Sigsbee’s apprehension of foul play. If it shall be proved that the Maine was destroyed by a mine, what must be the conclusion? It would follow that eo far from taking precautions to place the Maine in a posi- tion of safety and to avoid the suspicion of foul play, the Spaniards placed the ship in the most dangerous spot and courted suspicion, nay, practical conviction of foul play. From euch conditions no conclusion but that of bad faith and treachery could be drawn. To place the vessel in a po- sition of danger was essentially an act of bad faith and treachery. Not quite so damning would be the evidence of destruction by a movable torpedo or infernal machine. Yet the presump- tion of Spanish guilt would be strong and it would certainly be proof of lack of precaution and police vigilance. Should the tragedy of the Maine prove to have been an ac- cident, it would also prove that American battleships are as perilous to our navy as they dan be to the ships of an enemy. a A te THE RIVER FIRST. The total appropriation recommended by the House Com- mittee for the improvement of the Mississippi River is about $3,600,000. This represents a severe cutting down of estimates and recommendations, But in the sundry civil bill is an appropriation of $1,427,740 for the Illinols and Mississippi Canal, This amount should be stricken out and added to the appropriation for the Mis- sissippi River. 7 The cana] is a subsidiary and an artificial adjunct to the great natural waterway of the river. Why cut down the necessary appropriations to improve the natural waterway and expend it on an artificial subsidiary? It is an imbecilic policy. = SS — Sa Two dishonest Judges of Election have just been sent from Chicago to the Joliet Penitentiary. This is encouraging.

The League of American Municipalities has just issued its TD ' Information Bulletin No. 1, the subject of which 1s Electric Lighting. It is a comprehensive sheet, which ought to be in the hands of city legislators and executive officers. Amohg other things, the bulletin shows that in thirty cities lighted by contract under the “moonlight” schedule, the aver- age cost per aro light is $78.55. In fifty-five cities lighted by contract where lamps are burned al] night the average price per lamp Is $95.67. St. Louls pays $74.95 per lamp. But the av- erages quoted are brought up to the figures named by exceed- ingly high charges in some of the cities. Sacramento, Cal., for example, pays $123 per lamp, more than twice what Ann Harbor, Mich., pays, viz., $60. None of the contract lighted cities get theirdamps as ohtaply , The cheapest contract lamp is $54.15. The cheapest municipal lamp, $29.10. Both these are on “moonlight” schedules. An interesting showing of the tables given is the number ef very short contracts. It has been frequently claimed that electric light companies cannot afford to bid on short contracts and that it would be useless for the city to advertise for such bids, Yet not less than seven oilties quoted by the bulletin have contracts for one year. = =" As the President was to speak in Philadelphia on Washing- ton’s birthday It was absurdly announced from there that “the visit of the President, the Commander-in-chief of the military and naval forces of the United States, must have the effect of reassuring and quieting any undue alarm among the peo- ple of this city." No doubt Mr. McKinley would majestically wave off any Spanish force appearing before Philadelphia oné the great February holiday. > i a ae “MADE IN GERMANY.” _ If trade supremacy results in lowering the standard of mor- ality, and by installing ehildren fn occupations formerly oc- cupied by men, reduces the fathers of families to beggary, of what use is it to boast of the change? This seems to be the effect of the growth of industrialism in Germany. Says the Gegenwart of Germany: There are 60,000 immoral women Geatne The majority are victims to a policy which centers in the im- moderate desire to inorease our rts.

It is announced in the McKinley organs that the President will withhold the consular reports about Cuba from Congress for the present and that when they are sent in the copies will be edited, because the President and his advisers fear the effect of the reports on the country, , Congress has asked for these reports in order to be able to base its action on an enlightened judgment with regard to the situation, full and accurate reports? light of truth or something else done to which darkness is more friendly?

The Post-Dispatch, through its correspondents in Paris, Vienna, Rome and Berlin, has put to eminent authorities upon international laws and obli- gations this question: “If the Maine explosion shall prove to have been caused by design, yet through no fault of the Spanish Government, what action by Spain would satisfy the diplomatic require- ments of the situation—could the crime be treated as a casus belli?” (2, 8,8, 8,8,8, 8,8. © .o, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Compaay, 1898. The answers follow: PARIS. Feb, 22.—The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Hanotaux, received the Post-Dispatch correspondent, notwithstanding that the Ministry is overwhelmed with matters pertaining to the imminent rupture between France and England. Replying to the question of the Post-Dispatch, he said: “Speaking as a historian, I cannot at the moment recall any exactly parallel case for the guidance of the two powers involved. They must be guided by facts as they are ascertained.” , VIENNA, Feb. 22.—Baron Jettel, the First Court Councilor in the Austrian Office, was asked by the Post-Dispatch correspondent the question cabled me. He replied: “What you suggest does not involve a question of international right; it is only a criminal case to be judged according to the laws of the country to which the offend- ers belong. If the United States Government suspects that Spanish subjects com- mitted the crime this suspicion the United States must communicate to the Military Governor of Cuba. That would oblige the Spanish Government to begin immediately to examine the case. “According to the Spanish penal law an examination must first determine whether the explosion was the work of criminal persons. If a crime is established, the next step will be to ascertain If it was committed on United States territory—the ship’s deck. ‘“‘As this terrirory no longer exists, the ship having been blown to pieces, the ex- amination is made the more difficult. The fragments must be raised by divers at the cost of the American Government, and if the guilt of Spanish subjects is proved, Spain must refund the expenses of the examination. If something in the condition of the fragments points to the guilt of Spanish subjects, Spain will have to search for. the guilty persons and try them by the Spanish law. If the Spanish law demands that a re- ward be offered, Spain will be obliged to do this. : “The present political situation in no way puts obligations upon Spain. “This is an affair which will be considered by all nations in a purely criminal light.” ROME, Feb. 22.—Sig. Fiore, an authority in Europe on international law, answered as follows the Post-Dispatch’s question: ‘Spain ig not positively obliged to take any action unless it is proved that she is indirectly responsible for the explosion—as, for instance, if the Spanish authorities, having suspicion that the crime was to be perpetrated, did not take fitting preven- tive measures. “Spain is not obliged to prove non-responsibility. good faith,” International law presupposes BERLIN, Feb. 22.—An eminent authority in the German Foreign Office, who de- elines on Account of his position that his name be used, answers the Post-Dispatch’s question as follows: “Spain is responsible for the destruction of the Maine if negligence in watching the ship can be proved against her, or if her connivance, either active or passive, can be shown; or if the deed was done or promoted by any of her officials im active service. “If the Spanish Government was hot at fault (if the act was committed by a pri- vate citizen of Spain), the opinion as to the position of Spain and the extent of her liability is not unanimous among the German international lawyers with whom I have discussed the question, In that case, however, the United States Government would be justified in insisting that Spain put all her criminal machinery in motion and exhaust every resourse to bring the criminal to justice; it could even insist upon Spain offering a reward if dissatisfied with the ordinary police procedure or doubtful of its success. “The first act of Spain should be to apologize for the act of her citizens and assure the United States that the criminal or criminals, when discovered, would be brought to justice.’’ THE NEW YORK HARBOR IS IN POOR CONDITION FOR DEFENSE AGAINST A FOREIGN NAVY. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.~The defenses about New York are declared’ by experts to be in a shameful condition. It is reported from Washington that Congressman Heming- way and two of his, associates of the House Naval Committee made a secret persona] in- vestigation of the harbor last week, and they discovered 107 of the new high-power rifle guns, that were made for the Government at a cost of more than $40,000 each—$4,280,000— lying*about on skids, absolutely useless for any practical purpose, A paper quoted Gen. Miles as saying among other things: “I have known for some time that these magnificent guns were lying about tn thig way, and I have repeatedly told friends of mine in Congress about the condition of things there. “Why, that Spanish warship now in New York harbor could capture every one of those guns, and we could do nothing to prevent ft. A hostile foreign ship could enter the Narrows of the harbor of New York without being stoped by a single projectile fred from a modern gun.” Knowing well that Gen, Miles is one of the most discreet men tn the army, a dis- patch was sent to him by the Post-Dispatch correspondent, giving interview and asking the General if he was correctly reported. “The interview credited to me,” replied Gen, Miles, “is highly sensational and grossly exaggerated. I gave out no such interview for publication. It is known of all men that our coast defenses are not in as forward and complete condition as they ought to be should war be at hand. The annual reports of the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy show exactly what our condition is and the facts @re all well known by those who read the daily papers, . “If, however, an enemy were to attack us, he would find the task no holiday amusement, even if our condition to repel an attack was not as fully complete and as formidable as military critics of natipnal defense expect.” Unquestionably the defenses are not what they should be. Fine guns are useless because not in position and it will take some time to make them serviceable Then, too the soldiers would have to sleep in tents, as there are no barracks. However, there is little use for worry. We will be in at the start and the finish too. A high army official told the Post-Dispatch correspondent this morning that every gun on the Atlantic coast was manned. In other words, the army is ready for war, if war comes. The latest movement of troops is important, although the number of soldiers transferred was comparatively small, because it shows that an Import- ant branch of the defensive measures of the army is not being neglected—that of sub- marine mines and other devices for protecting harbors, This is a branch of the na- tion’s defense that is not understood generally. There is not a mine in New York har- bor, but that is not a serious neglect. An army officer told me to-day: “The appliances are gl] at hand and the harbor ts plotted. We know just what to do and where to place every destructive engine. As an instance of what has recently been done in the way of preparation of laying mines and torpedoes, let me tell you something. The wires to bonnect the batteries with the explosives were purchased some time ago, When there was not the same skill used in the manufacture of electric wires there is now. “Well, it-was found lately—how lately Iam not going to say—that the wire we had was not in perfect condition. So a purchase of 200 miles of the best protected wire for the purpose was made. This is ready for use in laying harbor defenses.” After ail, if war doed not come with Spain, the scare will have served @ good pur- pose if it forces the nation to manage its affairs on a common sense basis. @ VIEWS OF A PROMINENT CUBAN ON THE RESULT OF THE MAINE EXPLOSION. this country, The Spanish Ministry saw Sa to etrike the eoft spot in merican heart and was not tardy tn While this fact may not seri- ously militate against the Cuban cause we CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 22.—Senor A.

There néver was and there never will be a play written without some vulnerable points which the arrows of criticism can reach and penetrate. But when the whole is an impressive and dignified cre- ation the fairness of art demands that the full mead of praise shall be accorded. Against “The Sign of the Cross,” which was presented at the Century last evening, can be raised the argument upon which has been based the objection to the stage ever since the first drama was written. That is to say that all is hollowness and sham. The emotions portrayed, whether noble or base, are but feigned, and that there can come no lasting leeson from that which is so thoroughly hypocritical. In a prefa:re to one of his novels Charles Dickens said in effect that he never had met in real life the prototype of one of his basely drawn characters but that the man or woman did not say: “Come now, do you mean to say there are suci? persons in the world?” The application is obvious. That man who would find flaws in “The Sign of the Cross,”"” under the cloak that being a play }it is ergo a fraud and teaches no lasting lesson, is at unrest with himself, and is resentful for the thrill which must have at times o’erswept him. Another form of the wincing of the galled jade. The speech of Marcus Superbus to his licentious guests which opens this notice may be drawn upon to furnish a sweeping estimation of Wilson Barrett's powerful play. Call it stage clap-trap or what you wiil, if there were other such dramas ag “The Sign of the Cross’ the stigma attached to the theater would be loosened and the en- nobling effect upon the atidiences could not be but abiding. ‘The Sign of the Cross” is an admirable play for the Lenten season. It is an elo- quent sermon, graphically presented, and not one whit more theatrical than those preached by some of the red-fire—it is a strong temptation not to say hell-fire—ora- tors of the latter day pulpit. The company presenting “The Sign of the Cross” is intelligent and competent. Mr. Dalton is a striking Marcus Superbus and Mr. Bonney presents a perfectly recog- nizable Nero who was swayed and ruled by his empress with a rod of tron. In his- tory we are told that this empress, Poppaea Sabina, was the embodiment of crime and evil, who had induced Nero to murder his mother. The accuracy with which Mr. Barrett clings to history may be noted In the brief but subtle speech spoken by Pop- paea in the scene where Marcus comes to plead for Mercia’s life. Upon her words hinged the, pardon or the martyrdom of a character ag truly pure ae a tear. Miss Irene Rooke, as Mercia the Christian maid, was in certain passages a little too self-conscious for one of icy chastity, but on the whole she gave an acceptable per- formance, The sweetness of face with which she is favored goes strongly to ac- centuate the sweetness of character she assumes. Miss Gertrude Boswell as Ste- phanus the Christian boy will be remem- bered as one of the most capable members of the company. The entire production is given In keeping with the splendor and gorgeousness which made Rome in the days of the pean Ce- sars famed throughout the world.

SPORTS OF THE DAY. MICHAEL'S BAD BREAK, a ee HIS MANAGER, GEORGE M’LEISCH, TALES ABOUT IT THIS MORNING. KENNEDY * ALSO EXPLAINS. He Tells of the Welch Rarebits’ Meet- ing With Phil Dwyer, the New York Turfman. James C. Kennedy, famous as the man- ager of sporting events, and who had charge of the six-day bicycle race in New York, is still in St. Louis, George McLeisch, long pilot and manager of Jimmy Michael, the daddy of all the bi- Cyclists, is alzo here. Both gentlemen were besieged with ques- tions yesterday, all hands wanting to know whether it was really true that Michael had quit the cycling game for the race track. “My only information comes from your paper.” said Mr. McLeisch. “I was afraid Michael was going to make such a break as he has made do it. his earnings on the cinder path next scason would foot up $20,000 sure, but even that did not seem to satisfy him. He appeared daft Well, I think he has. made a great mistake. Per- hans he has not. But time wil! tell.” Mr. Kennedy was not at ail surprised when told what Michael had done. “I expected him to go and do just what he has done,”’ gaid Mr. Kennedy. “I spent two or-three hours argu.ng the point wth him in a hotel at Chicago last week. ‘ Tha facts are: During a visit to New York City Michael met Phil Dwyer, the famous turf- _: Dwyer dwelt on the success scored +f Tod Sloan in England, and pictured fehae] just as successful if he would only quit the cinder path for the race track. In @ jest, I think, but Michael believes he was in earnest. Dwyer offered Michaela salary of $10,000 a year and pickings, and figured where the little f: llow could clear nearly $50,000 on ‘his season’s work. ‘That proposi- tion, bona fide or not, turned Michael's | head, and ever since his arrival in Chicago, two weeks ago, he has been talking of go- ing on East and accepting Dwyé@r’s off r. Sloan’s success in Whigiland, his rec- Ognition there by the rince of Wales, and the other honors bestowed on him, kept buzzing in Michae)’s bonn¢‘t, and he talked as though a!l he had to do was Asian with Dwyer and reach ont and get f/f the pit Ha said he was going on East and try ri g horses anyhow until May. Then if he liked it, he would stick ‘to it. If he did not he would return to bicycling.

The Two Old Rivals Meet at New Or- leans and Shake Hands. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 22.—Dan Creedon, who has been here making books, came face to fuce with Kid McCoy at the race track to-day. They met last in December in the prize ring before an athletic club in New York, and what happened to Creedon there is ancient history. To-dav the once rival gladiators clasped each otber by the hand, looked in each oth- er’s face and smiled. Not once was the word fight mentioned. Creedon compli- mented McCoy on his excellent appearance, while McCoy, .sizing up Dan’s proportions, faid witha smile: ‘“‘You are filling out a bit, ain’t you, Dan?’ “I came down to enjoy the carnival,’ Kid eaid. ‘and if I have my way fight will not be thought of. But you must know that Iam a fighter and not ataiker. I am open to fight anybody.

Dan wants to fight at the middieweight Limit, weigh in at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the fight. Un- der these conditions Dan would take on two or three more pounds before he entered the ring. while I would -in all probability lose ome or two pounds.” Creedon was told what McCoy said, where- upon he replied: “You know McCoy and I agreed before our late meeting that, no matter who won, the victor was to give _the defeated man a return match. All I ask is that McCoy agree to the middle- weight Limit, and I firmly believe that I will reverse. the decision. am better, stronger and more confident right now than Il ever was.’ Hugh Duffy for Captain.

MANY FLYERS AT MEMPHIS. In the Schorr String Alone Twenty- eight Horses Are Being Prepared for This Season’s Racing. Charlie Kuhn, who rode at South Side and Sportsman’s Park, is doing some tall hustling these days to get reinstated. Char- lie is exercising Capt. Sam Brown’s string at Mobile, Aia., and should the Jockey Club and Turf Congress put him back in good standing Charlie will ride for the Captain. The Turf Congress can do nothing for Kuhn until the Eastern organization recognizes him. ‘There’ s one thing the swell jockey clubs, Turf Congress magnates and State lexis- latures can’t take away from us,”’ said a disgusted outlaw, who arrived here Satur- day night from Singerly, “and that’s the weather. I had not worn an overcoat al] | weak until I struck the A. legheny Moun- tains, Friday night. .In the ring at Sing- erly the bookies shed their coats. and worked in their shirt sleeves.

JAY EATON AND M'CARTHY. .The Indoor King Looks for Trouble \. Saturday Night and Is Now Get- ting in First-Class Shape. The “slow race” for the Post-Dispatch cup and prizes to the second and third rider is now being talked of more than any other one thing at L. A. W. headquarters. The cup is now on exhibition in the show- window of the Eugene Jaccard Jewelry Co., at Sixth and Olive streets. It fl# a very pretty prize, made of hammered silver, lined with gold and inscribed on it are the words: “The Post-Dispatch cup, presented to the winner of the ‘Slow Race,’ run in the Coliseum, Saturday night, Feb. 26, 1898, un- der the auspices:of the Indoor Racing As- sociat‘on of St. Louis.”’ Eaton, Newhouse, McCarthy, Walthour, Jack Coburn, Willie Coburn, Lou Coburn, Weinig, Barry, Repine, Frain, Paquette, Quinn, Yates, Kramer, Simkin, Cronin and Sanderson are only a few of the profes- sionals who will ride in the Post-Dispatch “Slow Race.” All of the racing men who rode at last Saturday night’s meet at the Coliseum have remained in town for the Feb, 26 meet. Eaton and McCarthy, who will ride a matecn race for a $100 purse, are both working hard. Mac is 7 oom as a bulldog and if defeate! by the Indoor King it will not be through lack of speed or head Mr. Eaton is a man % years of age, who has been riding indoor tracks for the past three years. McCarty, a lad of 19 years, has been on the track oniy two seasens and has been ris indoor tracks for the past munth only. Eaton realizes that the St. Louis boy is the hardest game he has tackled this season and is by no means confident of defeating him. The St. Louis rac. ng public have in McCarthy a man who w'!]!l lick the best professionals in this country in competition in the near future. He ig the best drawing card that the Indoor Racing Association could possibly get and it now looks as if the Coliseum will be packed next Saturday ni Beton is riding in his best form and rode a half mile paced in 67 1-5 seconds yesterday.

The Boston Post of Monday last had this to say Of Sterling Elliott, who led the Gid- eon forces at the iate W. Assembly in St. Louis: Sterling Elliott, chusetts and manager for the lately de- ceased Gideon campaign, was at his oflice by thg sad sea waves yesterday afternoon, and sufficiently recovered from the fatigues of the journey from St. Louis to talk over what had happened. He was inclined to lay Gideon’s defeat to the two facts that there was no organization and that Gideon did not arrive early enough at the assembly to do any effective work. Then, too, Pennsyl- vania’s action is blamed for the defeat of the Pennsylvanian. Mr. Elliott said, in part: “‘After Pennsylvania’s meeting there was not much to hope for. The Western papers said I wag traveling ali over, and all the boys knew I was sitting here writ- ing letters. All I could do was to tell all the Westerners to hang together, and they didn’t do it.’’ Mr. Elliott was asked to deny the re- port that he had held a peace confer- ence with Potter the night before the elec- tion, and had promised to make no opposi- tion.to his election, afterward making as stiff a fight as possible. “The facts concerning my conversation with Potter,” sala Mr. Elifott, “cannot by any possible means have been reported cor- rectly, as neither he nor I have mentioned them to any outsider till now. I did holda conference with Potter, but this is what was said, Some delegates from Massachu- setts, two or three, had been over to the Potter camp earlier in the evening, and had asked what Potter wouid do for Magsa- chusetts if no opposition to his election was brought forward. I told him that I would for the sake of consistency fight him to the very end. I did this in the face of the fact that I knew we were beaten then.”’ The affairs of the Southwest Cycle Club are just now enjoying a genuine boom. It will hold its select hop this evening, and under the most promising conditions. Capt. Ashner has completed the sea- son's club-run schedule, and the runs will commence Sunday, March 6, and close Sun- day. Nov. 2%. Runs will be taken every Sunday, and ‘“‘‘moonlight’”’ runs every Tuesday and Fri- day evening one the months of June, July, August and Beptember. The following places will be visited: Oak- ville, Clayton, Belleville, St. Charles, Ball- win, Fenton, Musick Ferry, Valley Park, Hollow, Bulltown, Edwardsville, Grover, Jefferson Barracks, Creve Coeur, Glencoe. Collinsville, Mascoutah, Hilltown, Colum- bia, Busch’s Grove, Chain of Rocks, Mill- stadt, Webster, Black Jack, Indian Cave, County Line, De _ B8Soto, Century Run, Morse’s Mills, Pond, St. Charlies, Bellefon- taine, Waterloo and Florissant.

THUNER’S GALLERY PLAY. Produces Clippings to Show That Civil Service Would Prevent the Spoils- men Coming in for Their Share. The Council Legislative Committee which bas the power to permit or prevent the eubmission of the merit system amendment to the vote of the people, did not report Monday, as tt was thought it would. Chairman Thuner was on hand at the Council meeting, all smiles, and announced that “‘his’* committee had struck some legal shoals and could not proceed further until City Counselor Marshall's return to St. Louis. ‘' @hairman Thuner has not altered his de- termination to prevent the people from using their judgment in regard to the merit system. It ls common, gossip about the City Hall that the committee will unanimously vote to throttle the amendment. The adminis- tration cohorts, tried and true beneficiaries of the spoils system, look on the amend- ment as a huge joke, and on the conuer~s. demand of 6,000 voters as an unconsidered trifle. When it is mentioned to Mayor Ziegen- hein, just a suspicion of a sarcastic smile plays on his features. He says nothing but that smile says plainly: ‘Young man, if you knew what I now you would’nt waste your time asking quest.ons.” Chairman Thuner sees only the bright side of his position. He has it all figured out that he knows more than 60,000 voters. The possibility that he is anchored over a polit- ical mine does not suggest itself to this officeholder, who smiles when he isn’t think- ing. and smiles. all the time.

They are grandnephew and grandniece of the murdered man. Somebody told the police Sunday that some- body else had said that Katie had said that her mother had said that she ‘had sent John to Doering’s house Friday evening, Dec. 31, and that he hed returned and told her that he had killed the old man. Katie, who is 16, but looks much younger, is employed by Mrs. Rosina Rudolph, who lives near B and Illinois streets. Monday morning at 8 o’clock Mrs. Rudolph sent her to Kempff’s drug store. She was pass- ing the First National Bank building when Detective Wasem came out of the police station, acrose the street, and called to her. She went over. He took her into Chief Obst’s office. The window blind was low- ered and an overcoat was hung over the glass panel of the door. Chief Obst, Fire Chief Nebgen, Detective Wasem and Policemen Weilmuenster and Gruenewali, she says, took turns at “sweating’’ her and kept it up for two hours. She cried continuously and pro- tested that her brother was innocent. At 10 o’clock Chief Obst and Detective Wasem went out to the St. Clair foundry and arrested John, who is 18 years old. The boy was sweated an hour and then taken down to the black hole, the basement cell reserved for a prisoners. At noon he wae taken upstairs and locked in the cage.

At 6 o'clock Chief Obst sald to Jchn: “You can go home with your father.” To the boy's father the chief said: “T will take it on my own shoulders to let your son go.” That was the only explanation given. Neither of the children was given any- thing to eat at noon. The purents were very indignant when a Post-Dispatch reporter saw them Monday night.

The fact that he intended to kill himself was known to the police Monday evening, as the Chief of Police had received a tele- gram from Philadelphia, where the boy’s mother and uncle live, saying that they had positive information that George Schaeffer, employed at Woodward & Tiernan’s, intend- ed to commit suicide. The information arrived too late, as Schaeffer had already disappeared from his lace of abode and was not at his work onday morning. in fact, been ng to urday He did not return to his boarding . rmount avenue, where he lived with Mr. Charles McNeill, an operator in the Western Union ee a office.

SHANTY IN THE STREET OLD MRS. GARNER, HER DOGS AND CHICKENS, AN EYE-SORE ON A BOULEVARD. SHE REFUSES TO MOVE. Occupies Part of the Pavement and De- clares That She Is Entitled to the Property. Fashionable Forest Park boulevard has developed a small rebellion that may re- sult in a real fight. Mrs. Susan Garner of Randolph County, Missouri, extraction, her 18-year-old son, two smaller children and four dogs are on the one side while the property owners and residents are on the other. The Garners live in a canvas covered ramshackle. The dogs occupy a straw- filled box, while a number of fowls—and good layers, it is said—occupy quite an airy coop. All of these are surrounded by a crudely constructed wooden fence, with posts 6 feet high, giving it the appearance of a stock- ade, The whole covers a piece of ground not more than 10 by % feet. This ground the residents want Mrs. Garner to vacate. But she says she won't do it. She claims to have settled there twelve years ago, and @eays that the land grant law gave her an, undisputed deed to the property. In this Mrs. Garner is said to be mistaken. Those rebelling against her say that she -has accepted none of the invitations to ex- pose any written evidence of such a deed, nor hag she accepted their invitation to move. What is age ovign | the property owners’ movement is that the “settlement” ig sit- uated on part of the street and sidewalk. The ramshackle is located on the north side of the boulevard, just west of No. 3941, The street at that. point is to be tmproved this spring. Nicholis-Ritter, real estate agents, have charge of the residence No. 8941 and the four élegant new dweilings east, the only ones on that side. They are not quite completed and the agents say that they will not attempt to rent them until Mrs. Garner and her |! , which extends across what should be the sidewalk al- most in front of these new houses, is re- moved. Several yellow dogs greeted a Post-Dis- patch reporter at the Garner stockade gate. “Who be ye?’’ came from within, and a few minutes later a thin, wrinkled, sharp- eyed face peered over a low place in the fence. It belonged to Mrs, Garner. “Oh, yes, they are trying to get me to move, but I will not go. This land ain't as but it is mine, and T’ll let you know that. : ‘“T ain’t no lawyer, but I know something about law. Why, there was a courthouse in the town where I was born in Randolph County and I was in it often when a child. Of course, that was years ago, and it’s true that I have been in none of them places since, but I have talked‘ to some rich folks what know and they told me that I should just stay and fight the people who will have me get out. No, I won't tell who these peo- ple are. I don’t have to tell who my friends are, but you can bet that I ain’t no fool and that if I go to court that there will be money forthcoming with which to fight the case. I came here twelve years ago and I was as respectable and loyal as any cit- izen. “T had five children, was a widow and located just where I am now. I did not think that the city would spread out here. Why, in those days this was all a wild stretch of wood. My home was the com- fort of hunters. Yes, sir, you could shoot as much ‘as you might wish, too, and I am sure it must have been pretty wild or it would not have been that way. ‘Well, I raised my children right. Two sons are fully grown and have gone out into the world. I don’t know where thev are, but I belleve In ‘Chicagee’ or some of them eastern places. “Who built this place? I did. Of course my sons, who were then small, helped me. My husband was away most of the time. I am a widow now and have been for a number of years—pretty near nine, I guess. I got two children that ain’t raised enough and when that is done I will just take it easy. But I won’t move. I don’t like to do that. The only time I ever did was when I left Randoiph County and came here, and settled I am to stay, sir.”’ The property directly abuttin the shackle is said to be owned by Julius Herne, who lives on Clayton road. The city owns most of the property upon Which the “tum- ble-down” stands, and the residents, led through the Nicholls-Ritter real estate agents, want to impress the old lady that she has no legal right to camp on other people’s property or on public etreets. — ——-—— STUDENTS’ VERSION DIFFER.

TON HEIGHTS” PEOPLE ARE IN TROUBLE. THEY MOVED TO NEW ORLEANS. After Exposure by the Post-Dispatch in St. Louis They Folded Tents and Stole Away. The “Clifton Heights Addition, St. Louts County,” real estate speculation, which was extensively exploited in the local news- papers six weeks ago, has been heard from ‘at New Orleans. In November the Realty and Surety Bond Co. opened offices on the seventh floor of the Roe building. An imposing: array of names appeared in gilt letters on the door as officers and directors, but not one of them could be found in the city directory. Clarence Hillman, a emooth young man, who posed as general manager, was the whole show. Along in December glowing advertise- ments and paid write-ups appeared in some local papers booming the Clifton Heights Addition. Pictures of charming suburban residences, “‘soon to be built,” with boule- vards, two parks, with fountains, shade trees and broad driveways, were published and investors were directed to write to or call on Mr. Le Roy Dennis, vice-president of the Missouri Realty and Surety Bond Co., Roe building. Mr. Dennis was never to be found at the offices of the company, but Mr. Hillman at- tended to all business and explained that Mr. Dennis was a Philadelphia capitalist who knew a good thing when he saw it. Persons who saw the advertisement sup- posed it referred to Clifton Heights proper- ty at the end of the Scullin street car line. In the course of time it developed that the Clifton Heights addition to St. uls Coun- ty was an addition to nothing in particular. It was situated 30 miles from St. uis, five miles from any town or railroad, it was not subdivided and was assessed at $7 an acre. It was bought from William Summer- ville ostensibly by Le Roy Dennis, the con- sideration named being $2000. Within two weeks lots in the alleged ad- dition, which was subdivided only on paper, were deeded to various parties for an ag- gregate of over $150,000. The transactions were decidedly peculiar. Deeds of trusts on the property were recorded at the same time to about an equal] amount, and since on the same subdivision on paper the e names were bestowed on the St. uis County addition as obtain in the Clifton He‘ghts close to the city, investors might easily loan money on such deeds of trust under a decided misapprehension. The names given as large investors were: J. U. Kingsley, Charles ¢C. Griffith, F. H. ly. fos H. V. Spencer, B. F,. Wyler, Her- man ndeck and C, M. Lyons, all of whom were said to have offices in the Holland Building. C. M. Lyons had an office there which was adorn with a large blue rint of the alleged Clifton eights addition. Landeck was a clerk without a dollar, who explained that his employer had put a lot in his name, and had got him to execute a deed of trust on it. This, he declared. was the only transaction he had figured in aithough his name appeared on deeds of trust for several thousand dollars, B, F. Wyler denied buying a single jot, and he forbade Hillman to uge his name. The other alleged investors could not be found.
