Several papers announce that Gen. Woodford will leave Madrid to-morrow. He has now taken up his residence at the United States Legation. , The Stock Market was not open to-day, it being Holy Thurs- day. 12:25 p. m.—After the Cabinet meeting and the issue of the semi-official note, regarded as a serious announcement, there was much excitement and bellicose talk in the city. The cafes were crowded with people, all eagerly discussing the situation, and gen- erally approving the attitude of the Cabinet. A general rumor was current that the United States Govern- ment had. presented an ultimatum to the Government of Spain, demanding that the latter, within six hours, should modify the note presented as a result of the last conference. This rumor is in‘no wav confirmed. The military papers to-day are very violent in their utterances against the United States. WOODFORD WAITED IN VAIN FOR SPAIN’S SUBMISSION. MADRID, April 7, 11:15 a. m.—lInquiries show that Gen. Woodford yesterday believed Spain would accept the proposed armistice and that orders to that effect would be immediately pro- mulgated in the Official Gazette. Other displomats also expected a satisfactory solution of the crisis, but at the moment when the Cabinet Council was commencing Minister for Foreign Offairs, Senor Gullon, received the following letter from the United States Minister: “Having fruitiessly awaited since noon vesterday for the de- cision of the Spanish Government$it is my duty to announce to you that I will still wait till midnight. I beg of you to kindly com- municate this decision before midnight, and that this decision may be couched in terms which may prevent the sad consequences that I should greatly regret, but which I believe inevitable if things continue in their present state.” The latter was sent as a private communication for it com- menced “My dear friend.” WASHINGTON, April 7.—The President has received a ca- blegram from Minister Woodford comcerning the Spanish Cabinet meeting. : Gen. Woodford wired that there was no action taken that would lead to any change in the status or throw any light’on the situation. | : The tenor of the cablegram was disappointing, in view of the expectations. | EUROPEAN POWERS ARE STRIVING TO KEEP PEACE. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The representatives of the six powers of Europe seeking to avert war between Spain and the United States called on the President at noon to-day. The Governments of Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Rus- sia and Italy were represented. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, was the first to arrive, followed by Ambassador Von Holleben of Germany. Within a . f-w minutes all the Ambassadors had been ushered into the blue room, and President ‘micKinley immediately left his office and. went down to meet them. The call of the representatives of the Powers on the President was quite brief and at 12:20 p. m. they went over to the State Department and made an official visit. They were headed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, and Dean of the corps. The others included the French and German Ambassadors, the Austrian Minister and the Charge d’Affaires of Italy and Russia. Their entire official suite of attaches accompanied them. The call evidently was by appointment for they were at once shown into the diplomatic rgom of the State Department where they were joined by Secretary Sherman and A™Mstant Secretary Day with whom they were closeted behind closed doors. Sir Julian Pauncefote, as representative of the powers, presented the following: “The undersigned representatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, duly authorized in that behalf, address in the name of their respective governments, a pressing appeal to the feelings of humanity and moderation of the President and of the American people in their existing differences with Spain. They earnestly hope that further negotiations will lead to an agree- ment, which, while securing the maintenance of. peace, will afford all necessary guarantees for the re-establishment of order in Cuba. “The powers do not doubt that the humanitarian and purely disinterested char- acter of this representation will be fully recognized and appreciated by the American nation.” President McKinley replied as follows: “The Government of the United States. recognizes the good will which has PREPARATIONS FOR WAR | PUSHED FORWARD IN SPAIN. MADRID, April 7.—The preparations for war continue. Mr. MacCalmont’s yacht Giralda is being fitted up with rapid-firing guns and will be used for a dispatch boat. The torpedo boat Destructor, after a peril- | ous voyage, has arrived at Cadiz. The Infanta Maria Teresa, the Cristobal Colon and the Carlos V. are due from Havre at Ferrol. The warships are undergoing final fittings of armament, which were made on the journey, in order to make good speed to Cadiz. The torpedo fleet at Cadiz has, by the or- der of the Minister of Marine, been rein- forced hy the Habana, the Barcelona and Retamosa and the Orion. The first three will be attached to the second torpedo squadron, should it start. The Audaz and the Osada, torpedo boat destroyers, are still wanting to make up the second squadron. |, It is now decided that the Cristebal Colon and the Infanta Maria Teresa would go in case of need to Havana, and the Carlos V. and the Pelayo would remain about the | Spanish coast. The Cardinal Cisneros has | left her dock and is at Ferrol. The Osada . has left Queenstown for Ferrol, and the Audaz, which is in dock there, is being re- paired. From all parts of the country reports come | ‘In of patriotic subscriptions, patriotic buil | fights and patriotic theatrical performances. Officials, operatives and factory hands do- nate their day’s wages. Bishops, arch- bishops, clergy and the laity aré all volun- teering in the same task of raising funds for the mationdl benefit. The Duke de Veragua, direct descendant of Columbus, donates hig best bull for the coming cor- rida on Sunday here, and would willingly give all the six necessary for the perform- ance were it not that other breeders wish to contribute their share. A matador ala mode | offers to kill all six of the bulls without | his ustal fee, which almost equals that of a prima donna. 4 A comomittee has been formed to receive | the national subscription. It has. tele- | grams offering support from almost all the mayors and most of the chambers of com- merce throughout the tountry. Hundreds of captains and officers of the merchant navy have offered their seryices to the Government. Valencia offers 10 boats of 500 tons each for privateer work. H'‘storical Saragossa is getting up a pa- triotie function at the Royal Theater, where the boxes are being sold at 1000 pe- Setas each; a. proves: deputation from Leon sends 20, pesetas to the war funds | and spectacular performances to the same | end are being organized in the town of Seria. where they are getting up half a dozen different kinds of patriotic perform- ances, concerts, theatricals and bullfights. Every official gives a day’s pay [n Mala- ga, where the bishop heads the patriotic movement and where youths of the best | families in town are forming themselves into civil guards. At Burgos the subscrin- tion, which promises to be substantial in | its results, is fostered by the combined | press. In Valladolid Cardinal Casca Jarés | addressed an allocution to the people, in- viting them to assist at the Cathedral, where he zave a patriotic sermon. The city fathers of Ferrol offer 260,000 pesetas in case of war breaking out, and the town of Trujillo offers to:pay for three first-class cannon. A NEW STOCK OF MINES AT HAVANA. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898, HAVANA HARBOR (by Dispatch Boat Triton to Key West), April 7.—I have! learned the kind and sizes of torpédoes and mines in the Spanish Naval Arsenal here. I have learned also that some were ex- perimented with the week before the Maine arrived. Two strings of torpedos were run across |, the narrow harbor entrance recently, as te!- | egaphed to the Post-Dispatch. They are | placed as described, and are small floating | oxes, two feet by one foot. They are called | here ‘‘mine torpedoes.”’ There are in the arsenal to-day 60 ‘‘buoy mines,’’ loaded with gun cotton. They are two shallow hemispheres, placed together, four feet each in diameter, and | éach about two anda half feet thick. Etghteen mine torpedoes similar to those | recently placed in the entrance to the har- | bor were put aboard the torpedo chaser | Philippines yesterday. Rumors that the officers of the Span'sh transport Legazpi hauled down the Maine’s half-masted ensign are false. The American colors were first hoisted clear to the peak, then taken down by order of Capt. Cowles of the Fern. The Spanish Admiral was no- tified of the fact. The Maine is no longera bit of United States ‘‘soil,’’ according to naval usage; she ts no more than the aban- | doned hulk of a wrecked merchantman. | There is a half million dollars’ worth of uninjured machinery within her and four 10-inch guns still lie in the turrets. They could not be secured without the use of prohibited explosives. The guns when new | cost $40,000 each. | SYLVSTER SCOVEL, | Special Correspondent of the Post-Disyatcn, | SPANISH FOURS IN EUROPEAN MARKETS. | LONDON, April 7.—Spanish 4s opened on | the Stock Exchange at 50% against 48, the closing price yesterday.

Special to the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, April 7.—Did President McKinley purposely deceive Congress when he said that the reason for his failure to send his message was because of the danger which threatened Consul General Lee? The belief that he did is growing among the members of the House and Senate and many men who accepted the explanation unquestioningly last night are charging that they were “bunkoed” by the President. “> The idea that the excuse given by the President was a subterfuge occurred to many Congressmen when they first learned that the message was to be again de- layed, this time until next Monday morning. To-day the feeling was emphasized by the absence of any confirmatory news re- garding the disturbances which were said to exist in Havana. At the same time the story got abroad and was generally believed, that negotiations had been reopened with Spain. This was denied at the Executive Mansion, but so many diplomatic denials have been given out of late in regard to the conditions which are known to exist that the denial was not entirely convincing. | The feeling steadily grows that the President has used the name of Gen. Lee as one which would keep the members of Congress quiet while he took more time to work out the schemes which he has in mind. “I don’t believe’ a word of that story about Gen. Lee and the Americans in Havana being in danger,” said Congressman Sayers of Texas to-day. “I believe that the whole thing is a put-up job and that the telegram which Lee is said to have sent was largely manufactured in the White House.” CONTEMPLATING A NAVAL DEMONSTRATION BEFORE HAVANA. WASHINGTON, April 7.—Information from a high source clearly intimates that a naval demonstration against Havana has been considered and is almost cer- tain to be made within the next few days unless Spain yields, and if this demon- stration results in war, the President is ready to accept the issue. A Cabinet officer to-day said: “Why are we hurrying Americans out of Cuba, except that their lives will be in danger after the President’s message has gone to Congress, and his purposes are fully known to the Cubans? That is the reason and only one.” This Government, it is further stated, has learned to distrust much that comes even from official sources at Madrid, and from now on actions and not words, a member of the Cabinet declared, will determine our policy.

If it is true that the President dare not send a message to Congress “for fear the Spaniards will murder Consul General Lee and the other Americans in Cuba, it is high time to get them all out of the island and then reduce it to civilization. We already ‘know that a public armed ship of the United States is not safe in Havana harbor, but it is something start- ling that the law of civilized war is not likely to be observed by the Spaniards toward non-combatants. No better justification for intervention could be found than this acknowledgment. Americas” must be made safe wherever they are, and the flag must be respected on every sea. Let the Americans be got out of the island as quickly as possible and then let it be the duty of the Government to bring about a condition there which does not involve constant peril. = = * rr -_--o—_— The Circulation of last Suvday’s Post-Dispatch was 124,268. a, Ap.

Every party that put a ticket into the field in the cam- paign just ended in Milwaukee advocated municipal owner- ship. There were four tickets. The Republicans had a ‘‘municipal “ownership of all public utilities’ plank. The Democrats had the same, but a little more radical. The Social Democrats, a new party founded by Eugene V. Debs, of course wanted mu- niecipal ownership and a great deal more. And the Social Labor party has for years advocated municipal ownership. The Democrats won this strange fight because the Populists, who also want municipal ownership, fused with them. it appears,°therefore, that municipal ownership has come to stay in Milwaukee. The peculiar phenomenon presented by this fight also indicates that, other things being favorable, « municipal ownership plank is a winning card in a city cam- gn. hhh - = The word Manana, loved by the Spaniards, does not suit the McKinley Administration, which prefers day after to-morrow, or the day after that, or any time in the future. >in . Sie tee AN UNMERITED ACCUSATION. Prince Bismarck denounces the Monroe doctrine and com- plains of our unmannerly diplomacy. But the President has not offended the pride of Spain in his diplomatic treatment of the Maine “incident.” Wasn't he sugar mannered when he made that feeling reference to Span- ish honor and considerately omitted to mention the honor of America? He was a very Chesterfield. If an American man-of-war can’t go into Havana harbor without running the risk of being blown out of the water, is there much left of the Monroe doctrine? The old statesman should not criticise our manners after we have so courteously waited for 50 days before asking Spain about that Maine “incident.” . ; Congressman Joy, before he indorses the President's policy, wants to know'which one of the four messages said to outline his policiés is to be adopted. tL —S—- - THE DUTY OF THE LEGISLATURE. As the City Counselor is the legal adviser of the Board of Equalization, that body may be expected to adopt his opinion thut franchises are not taxable. This, however, is only the first step toward a settlement of the question, for it will un- doubtedly come before.the courts for adjudication. But, however this may be decided under the statutes as they now stand, it can hardly be denied that franchises are constitutional objects of taxation and the duty of the Legisla- ture is clear. There is very little if any opposition to this policy except among those whose interest prompts them to fight it, The general public is practically unanimous in demanding that this species of property bear its proper part of the public bur- den and the Legislature should respond to the demand on the first opportunity. The Circulation of Jast Sunday’s Post-Dispatch was 124,268. | _—_ = i Secretary Sherman says that he cannot tell ‘“‘what policy the Administration will pursue in this crisis.” Thé Secretary’s ig- norancse correctly reflects the situation in amd outside the Cabinet. >= = eg A MATTER OF DOLLARS ‘AND DIMES. Boss Hanna and the other ticker statesmen seem to have accomplished their purpose and for the time at least syndi- cate politics are triumphant. More delay has been granted. This is the way of ticker statesmen. The longer they wait the better they like it, for there is profit in delay and the ticker goes on grinding out gold. : Again the issue appears with crystal clearness, Spain wants time for preparation, which she may have and welcome while the syndicate statesmen make golden hay on the Wall street farm. To them ‘it is alla matter of dollars and dimes. The spoils Council dared not allow the merit eystem to go to a vote of the people. —_ S — LIGHTING CONTRACT. Fifteen years is a long time in the life of a growing and pro- gressive city like St. Louis, It is a long time in the life of mod- ern invention and improvement. It is too long a time to fix for a lighting contract. Fifteen years ago there was not an electric street car nor an electric street light in St. Louis. To-day there are thousands of each of these conveniences. It was not till 1890 that electric lights were used on St. Louis’ streets. Since that time, short -as the contract has been, great improvements have been made in electric lighting, particularly in the form of lamps. The electric lamps used in lighting St. Louis’ streets are crude, ugly, and hung with absolutely no regard for appearances. In fifteen years’ time invention may relegate the present *m of electric street lighting to the limbo of the gasoline Dp or the medieval torch. It will certainly make the cost of ric light production so much less that a fifteen-year con- will mean loss to any city that is burdened with it. ‘vty American cities whose figures have been reyorted ague of American Municipalities, 7 have 1 yeor con- | ¢ ’ 4 ~ ee Ge si tracts for electric lighting; 3 have 3 year contracts; 8 have 6 year contracts, and only three of the entire 30 have contracts for over 10 years. A ten-year period would be ample; - — =_—- =-_— The Circulation of last Suaday’s Post-Dispatch was 124,268. | —— i i _ The Government is not dependent upon Pierpont Morgan or his associates for war funds.

War should not be made the occasion to further enrich an over-rich class, If the Government yields to the solicitations of Morgan and McCall it will be because the President and his party friends want to do so. -_—_--- five would be better. ————€, =_ = = “yy i i as — THE POLICY OF DELAY. Congressman Joy replies to constituents, who.are responding to Boss Hanna’s appeal, in the appropriate words adopted by Senator Foraker, Congressman Lentz of Ohio and others. He asks, ‘What is the President’s policy?” -\lthough President McKinley invites the confidence of the people, he declines to take the people and their representatives into his,confidence. He declines to state what his’ policy is or to give them any light on the correspondence between this Government and the Spanish Ministry. We are ignorant of the negotiations that have taken place between Spain and the United States—of what the United States has demanded or what Spain has offered. The only policy the President has developed to the public knowledge is the policy of delay. This has been sought on various pretexts. The latest delay is asked on the ground that time was required to insure the safety of Consul-General Lee and the Americans in Cuba. Coupled with this announcement comes @ report frem Havana that all is quiet, and that Gen. Lee anticipates no trouble. Did not the President know a week ago as well as now that his message would endanger the lives of Americans in Cuba? Why was not the intervening time used to insure their safety? But while action is being postponed, Boss Hanna is using his Wall street bureau to conduct a vigorous peace-at-any- price campaign and to manufactufe public sentiment against action. Even the President’s private secretary and men who are closest to him are aiding in the manufacture of this senti- ment, Despite the statement that negotiations have been closed at Madrid, statements are sent out that Minister Wood- ford is busily engaged in fresh negotiations and anticipates success, although no substantial foundation for such hopes can be discovered. Is Woodford begging the Spanish Ministry for concessions? In view of the facts, it is natural that the people should re- gard the course of the Administration with suspicion. It is nutural that they should suspect that there is juggling with the crisis and that there is a deliberate scheme to dupe them and manipulate Congress into acquiescence with the humillat- ing and sordid policy of the Hanna clique. It is to be hoped that the President will save himself from hecoming the agent of these men, and that he will find the courage to meet the expectations of the American people. § a a Every woman desires to be beautiful. Every man desires that his wife shall be beautiful. The faults of nature may be corrected, in a great degree, by the simplest of means, when employed scientifically and systematically. “The Secret of Beauty,” a 16-page book in colors, by Harriet Hubbard Ayer, will be given away with the next Sunday Post-Dispatch. No advance in price. The Republicans would have won in Rhode Island even if the Democrats had not been divided. It is amusing to see hewspaper organs rejoicing over a Rhode Island Republican victory. In this connection it may be well to state that the Detnocrats have again carried Arkansas. a — O_o The St. Joseph Democrats have won on a platform prom- ising better and cleaner streets, protection of the people’s rights in dealing with corporations and general economy in ali the departments. They will win again if they keep these promises. : | a + oo It is thought that in the election Tuesday in Chicago enough honest Councilmen were elected to defeat the boodlers and grabbers. The people of any city can protect themselves if they will only wake up in time. Mr. Wanamaker’s “scrofulous politics” 1s a good term.

The recent earthquake shock did $342,000 worth of damage to the navy yard at Mare Island. This is a horse on Uncle Sam. “Secretary Sherman talks,’’ says a headline.

Stephens is hastening home from the West to prepare for war. We will release him from all responsibility in this direc- tion if he will only reorganize the St. Louis Police Board. Much of the Massachusetts opposition to war, perhaps, lies in the fact that hostilities might increase the price of beans. ‘here is no doubt considerable sulkiness in Boston over this prospect.

' The Fortnightly Club of young women in Chicago do not want to vote, and one of their number has just read an able paper op- posing woman suffrage. Doubtless the idea of these young women is that a Woman should in every case have a husband to do her voting. The young Tennegseean arrested under the new law against flirting has saved himself by marrying the girl, and the law there- fore goes untested.

MULLANPHY BANK AFFAIRS. Judge Lubke Outlines the Defense in the Suits to Recove: $300,000. Referring to the sult brought by Receiver W. J. Stone of the Mullanphy Bank against the former directors to recover some $3090,- 000 loaned on insufficient security owing to alleged negligence and mismanagement and in some cases contrary to the legal iimit, defendants says that the defense will that the loans were made in good faith to parties believed to be _ solvent, but who turned out to be otherwise. As to the ai- leged loans made in excess of the Hmit Judge LubkKe said: ‘There is a law by which banks are lim- ited in making loans to each individual to 25 per cent o the capital stock paid in, without additional security. But they may make such loans to any extent if additional security be given. with a capital stock of $100,000 were to loan $25,000 to-day to one individual, there is nothing to prevent its quate additional security. Nor would it be a violation of the law if the prigcipal of to-dlay should become the indorser to-mor- row, even though the bank should loan to each the limit of 25 per cent of the amount of the capital stock. The loans would then be made to different individuais. | ‘The defense of the directors will be that they acted in perfect good faith, and were not guilty of any fraud or gross CATEIORS~ ness. They were all themselves iarge s(ock- holders, and the losses incurred fell upon them just as they did upon the others.

He had been !1] for the past year, suffering with paralysis, but previous to that time had been well and as active as @ young man. Though not engaged in business during the jast 30 years he was enthusiastic in matters pertaining to local Catholic organizations.

Thirty years ago he was one of the in- } augurators of the first temperance move- ment, which resulted In the organization of a local society, long since dissoived. Mr. Pugh attributed his long HUfe to the non-use of liquors, though he was fond of smoking. The day beore his death he asked for his pipe. He always said that a pipe was one of man’s best companions. The old gentleman took particular delight in exercising. He insisted on “constitu- tionals,”’ daily.

The attorney representing the company declared that the law under which such orders are issued was unconstitutional. At the close of the argument Thursday Judge Adams said he would také the mat- ter under advisement.

MAYOR ZIEGENHEIN. Occupancy of the new city hall. That in itself is enough to call forth a grand display of enthusiasm. “But I expect more. If I read the signs of the times aright, I think about the time the head of our procession reaches the new City Hall, the news will have been wired from Washington that the President has practically made war with Spain necessary. it that comes true, then I intend to do, then and there, what I have intended to do all along, should war be declared—I will not make any speech, but simply announce the President’s declaration and cail for vol- unteers to enlist for the war, I will enroll them then and there, I will only ask for 1000 men and I will make any kind of wager that I will get them as fast as their names can be taken, “Yes, I know that from the multitude that will be there I could enroll two or three reziments,”’ ‘Do you propose to lead the regiment to the field of action?’’ - Monday will be a memorable day in St. Louis. A patriotic and dramatic scene will prob- ably be witnessed at the Market street en- ‘trance of the new City Hall at noon.

And this too so long after the days of the Arabian Nights and the Caliph Haroun Alraschid. Long had been up the‘river hunting for some time. He schulte to come up and spend a day snipe shooting along the river, and assured him that he had good ledgings for both, and all. the trimmings that.go to make life in the wildwood comfortable. The prospect was alluring and Hauschulte made arrange- meots with his:assistants to take a day off. Gun in hand, he boarded a Baden car, and with ten long miles before him along Co- lumbia Bottom road, he set out boldly for the happy hunting grounds, The road was rough and muddy and the wind was so cold that the gay Nimrod was obliged to take shelter along the route and rést. Jt was nearly 10 o’clock atmight when he finally came upon his friend’s shanty. He found it right on the river bank and he had to wade to get to it, but he was tired out, and glad enough of the welcome he got inside. Intending to start out bright and early next morning, the hunters soon made prep- arations to retire. The dogs were staked out near the shanty, the doors were barred and the weary Hauschulte and his friends were soon fast asleep. The North St. Louis Postmaster dreamed that he was hunting snipe along the river marshes, and that the birds were so plentiful he had to scare them off the gun barrels when he wanted to sight the weapon. He had already killed enough to fill the shanty, and was considering.the advisability of sending his resignation to Postmaster Carlisle and coming out as a professional pot hunter when he woke up. Long, was already astir, the odor of ham and eggs greeted his awakening nostriis and he jumped into his $7 hunting panoply with the determination to verify the dreams of the night. The sun was slanting brightly through the curtains of the shanty, and as they discussed the rashers and coffee, the hunters told tall stories of what they had done with dog and gun, and what they ex- pected to do to the snipe, Which, Long in- sisted, ‘‘were almost as thick as hair on a dog's tail, and that’s no idle dream.’’ Then sey grabbed their guns and opened the aoor. “My gracious, we're drowned!” shrieked Hauschulte, as he saw water on all sides of the shanty instead of the woods and fields, which had been there the night before, The Water stretched away for miles, it seemed, on all sides of them. The dogs were ‘gone, “drowned,” thought Hauscbulte, as he stood on the porch wringing his hsands over the waste of muddy water. “We're adrift!’ gasped Long in a very pale voice, “My gracious, adrift in a shanty!” cried |Hauschulte, preparing to leap, wrote to his friend Hau-} ! ‘In a shanty boat,” suggested Long, re- straining the impetuous Postmaster. With | great presence of mind Long then walked through the shanty boat and emerged on the back ‘“‘porch.’’ His eyes fell upon the rope which had moored the houseboat to the shore the night before. He ran his eagle eye along the rope’s Jeigth. The other end was made fdst to a stone shaft, which rose sheen from the bosom of the water. Then the truth dawned upon him, He rushed back to his despairing friend. “Saved! Saved!’’ he cried. ‘‘We are moored to the Merchants’ Bridge! We are back in St. Louis!” Hauschulte did no? realize what had hap- pened. He had never been on @ houseboat before. He though he felt the shanty sink- ing. He ‘became possessed wth a passion- ate desire to be ‘back at work in his Post- office. He had never been ‘‘moored”’ before and he didn’t like the experience, so he said. “Let us unmoor.’’ ‘All rieht, we’H unmoor and drift,” said Long, and he went back and cut the rope. “Tet us unmoor and go home,” said Hauschulte weakly, for he did not know that there were no oars on the boat. Long gave him the laugh and this partly re- stored ‘his confidence. Then they began to fire signals of distress and wave their bed- clothes at the boats and lumbermen along the banks, but they drifted as far as North Market street before a compassionate fish- erman came out of his skiff and towed them asnore. ‘ Hauschulte was too flabbergasted to as any questions when ‘he got ashore. He went to his office and tried to drown his sorrows in accumulated work. He did not even no- tice that his assistants were immensely tickled over some secret joke, and even the mail carriers smiled knowingly as they asked him: “How's snipe shooting, Mr. Hauschulte‘’”’ The North Side Postmaster ‘has some good oarsmen among his subordinates, and they know all about houseboats and the transmi- gration of snipe shooters.

QUEENSTOWN, April 7.—A dense fog envelopes the couth of Treland to-day. It HE NO LONGEH-SMILES ——e—— REASON WHY PARK COMMISSION- ER RIDGELEY “IS DOWN- CAST THESE DAYS. HAD PLANNED A PRETTY OFFICE Mayor Ziegenhein Said No, All Fancy Work and Barriers Must Come Down. Alas that pride should take a fali To equal the pathetic tumble Encountered at the City Hall, No longer poor and mean and humble} Alas that one who would be free From vulgar folk>and rash intrusion By democratic words should be Enjoined from seeking that seclusion! Alas that one, a man of pith, The king of all official dandles, Should be compelled to mingle with The Jims and Mikes and Jacks and Andys! The Ridgeley heart is full of pain, But otbers smile, from base to garret, No power a solace can ordain; He'll simply have to grin and bear it. Park Commissioner Frank L. Ridgeley, the Ward McAllister of the administration, is downeast because of an order that has been issued by the Mayor in regard to the arrangements of offices in the new City Hall. If there is anything that Mr. likes it is exclusiveness, a private nook in is supposed the White Star Line steamer Germanic, Capt. McKinsley, from New York on March W for Liverpool, and the Red Star Line steamer Waesland, Capt. Enhoff, from Philadelphia on March 27 for Liver- pool, which passed Roches Point yesterday, passed Queenstown unseen, which he may rearrange his faultless neck- tie, comb his hair and dust off his neat at- tire, both on entering and leaving his of- fice. Even in his dingy quarters, the roof in the old City Hall, Mr. Ridgeley had a private office, boxed off, that was Ridgeley so near rookery. And why should he not have a more elaborate and charming nook in his new office in the fine new hall? It was to be an ornament, gilded and teeming with the brightness and-elegance of the taste of a commissioner of the artistic. So in the north corner of the not overspa- \cfous quarters assigned the Park Depart- ment, on the third floor of the Twelfth street side of the new hall, Mr. Ridgeley had built a private apartment about 8x12 feet, within which was the marble station- ary washstand and near by was a chiffon- ier with every toilet convenience. The pri- vate office was of light lathing across sien- der uprights, over which brilliant wall paper shut in the occupant from the gaze of the common herd that presented itself at the outer railing, and a glass door and dainty little glass windows through which the chief could look out on the office force. Such a lovely private office was nowhere to be seen in any of the other department offices of the big building. Perhaps no oth- er chief had thought of such elegant seclu- sion for quiet work, and if he had he could not have designed such an artistic succes; as adorned the Park Commissioner's of- ce. fut alas for the unartistic and democrat- ic ideas of Henry Ziegenheln, Mayor! That exquisite little office of Mr. Ridgeley is not to be. Uncle Henry doesn’t believe in any frills. ‘‘Public offices are for the transaction of public business,’’ said the Mayor, “‘and the officials must be accessible to the people— I mean where they can be got at without any card business or being halted at trap doors and the like. No, we won't have any private offices in the business offices of the new Rasy And so the Mayor ordered President Mc- Math to have Mr. Ridgeley’s elegant little office removed. Music at the Cathedral. The 10th evening song at Christ’s Church Cathedral will occur Good Friday evening at 8 o’clock, when the passion music known as “The Seven Last Words,” by Merca- dante, will be given under the direction of H. H, Darby, organist and director. The music Easter day at the Cathedral will also be of a h‘gh order, including Dudley Buck's Festival Te Deum in E. Millard’s Jubiiate, and Wilson's “Christ, the Lord is Risen To- day.’’ 7 Declined to Leave Town. When Sophie Gardner was before Judge Peabody three weeks ago she was given 24 hours to get out of town. She treated the order with silent contempt. Wednesday night Sophie was picked: up by a policeman and now she will go to the Workhouse to eerve a $50 fine. ELOPED 10 CLAYTON, - —— —_— MAY ZIMMERMAN STARTED TO MARKET, BUT WENT ON TO MATRIMONY. MET EDWIN M’CAY EN ROUTE. Married by Judge Greensfelder, Were Forgiven and Will Proceed to Live Happy Iver After. Edwin W. McKay, “going on 20," and May T. Zimmerman, “going on 18,” went to Clayton Gretna Green Wednesday, and in spite of their youth and evident flustra- tion, were licensed to wed. Judge Greensfelder tied the knot, and before noon the blushing pair were at the bride’s home drawing a diagram for Mamma Zimmerman and pacifying the members of both families. McKay is a clerk with the Laclede Gas Co. He left his home, 27% Eugenia street, Wednesday morning ostensibly for work, with his lunch basket In his hand. About the same hour Miss May Zimmerman lIeft her mother’s house, 2014 Olive street, to do the daily marketing. The girl’s mother was sorely perplexed when midday brought no tidings of May, and she was just leaving the house to search for the girl when the truant couple arrived, arm in arm, like it is in the story books. ‘*‘Where'’s the meat for dinner?’ asked the anxious mother. . This stunned May, who had not wasted a thought on her errand to Union Market. “T haven't been to Union Market, mam- ma,” quoth May, in tearful tones. ‘I've been to Clayton, and Eddie and I are mar- ried.”’ This was a sockdologer for anxious Mrs. 7... but like a wise matron she forgave the ardent elopers and served lunch. The bride and groom then visited the McKays, and after another shower of family forgiveness Mr. and Mrs. McKay adjourned to the Zim- merman house, where they will res.de. | AN EXARMY SURGEON DEAD, Dr. Charles 8.

The wedding of Miss Rose Lampert to Mr. Bernhardt 'M. Graff, at 5:30 o’clock Tuesday evening, was an unusually pretty and interesting affair. The bride, a talented violinste and prominent member of the anmrateur orchestra, is a daughter of Mrs. E. Lampert of 2922 Pine street, and the groom is a successful young ‘business man of this city. The ceremony, performed very quietly by Rev. Dr. Messing, in the presence of the two families and a small number of inti- mate friends, was followed by a large re- ception from 8:30 to 11 o’clock. Roses, beau- tiful symbols of the bride’s name, were the principal floral decorations, emilax studded with bride’s roses and lilies of the valley served as a temporary altar, while portieres of trailing vines and American Beauties hung in the doorways. Masses of roses were banked about the mantelpieces and in the center of the din- ing table, and where there were not roses there were lilies and maiden hair fern. The bride, who 'was escorted by her bro- ther, Mr. Jacob Lampert, wore an elegant | costume of white satin, embroidered in a desi of lover’s knots, with tiny seed pearis. The skirt was made en traine and the corsage covered with point lace and pleated chiffon.

NOTES ABOUT THE, THEATERS. a. The Holy Week offering at the Four- teenth Street Theater, Salmi’s animated pictures of the Passion Play of Ober- ammergau, are something entirely new in cinematographic reproductions. All of the figures are life-size, and the action is pre- sented in a most vivid manner. Words must of necessity fail to express as the moving tableaux do, the dramatic strength of the incidents portrayed. All of the Mes- siah’s life from the first scene in the Tem- ple to the ascension !s shown. The second scene, that of the attempted assassina- ‘tion, is introduced at Oberammergau, .but fs altogether traditional in its origin, 'not being found in any of the orthodox ac- counts of Christ’s life. The pleading for The three little flower girls, Misses Resa-/the head of John the Baptist and Salome’s lind Geist, Theresa Van alte and Adele Van Reaalte, wore similarly made frocks, | the first two of pale blue silk, and the other of white mull trimmed with narrow ribbon and ruffles of lace. They all carried b@skets of loose white rose leaves, which they scat- tered In the bride’s path. The groom's best man was his brother, Mr. Wiliam Graff of Chicago. After the reception Mr. Graff and his bride went to Hotel Beers, where they will | be at home for several weeks. A very delightful affair was given Sun- day evening by Miss Mumperow, at her | dance before Herod are vividly presented. ‘Interest increases as the tableaux proceed. The pictures showing the incidents lead- ing up to the crucifixion are striking in more particular than one. Dozens of fig- ures pass across the canvas, crowds form and dissolve. Men and women gesticu- late and prostrate themselves in the dust. It ig*an impressive and soul-stirring spec- tacle. The closing scenes of the crucifixion are filled with darkness, lightning flashes home on South Jefferson avenue, in honor; 4nd one almost imagines that he can hear of the Misses Miller. tily decorated with palms and pink roses.

THE COUNCIL MAY BACK DOWN. _—_—_——oO President McMath May Yet Be Able to Stem the Tide of the Mayor’s In- fluence in the Assémbly -_---— Now that the City Council has rid the Charter Amendments of the merit system, despite the protests of 56,000 voters, the programme is to rush them through the As- sembly before the session expires on April 18. The House of Delegates is not in the-habit of studying questions deeply, and not at all until it has to, and just how much time it will be inclined to spend on the amendments is not known. The Council expects the House to accept its superior judgment on_ the amendments and perfunctorily adept them. The amendments can not possib reach the House before next Tuesday evening, and as the “Assembly session expires by limita- tion on the following Monday the House must hold daily sessions if it wishes to dis- cuss the amendments, or else listen to their reading and pass them, as they are expected to do. The Mayor is anxious that the amendments shall reach him before this session expires, and as Speaker Lloyd is che Mayor’s whip in the Hguse, the prospect of “railroading”’ the amendments through that body are good, President McMath of the Board of Pubiic Improvements does not believe the amend- ments will carry before the people in their present shape, but as the Council has turned the back of its hand to Mr. seas 3 only hope of arresting what he considers nothing less than criminal defects rests with the House, and there it is known that Mr. McMath can not count on a majority of members to his way of thinking on any sub- ect. ; The vital force of the amendments lies in the scheme for levyin pecial taxes, and Mr. McMath says its plan is so abortive in equity that the people w'll never indorse it. According to the Council’s plan the as- sessment of special street improvement taxes is to be based on the ———* values of property in the district affected. To es- tablish such a district a line will be drawn as near midway the street to be improved and the next parallel or converging street on both sides as the lot lines exist. No lot is to be subdivided by such lines. Mr. McMath points out that this plan Is inequitable and unfair because a man own- ing property in the middle of the block ly- ing parallel to the street to be improved may be made to pay more than the man owning property fronting it, and still the owner of the corner lot would be doubly benefitted by such improvements. The cor- ner lot voters are not near so numerous as the middle of block owners. Another objection urged by Mr. McMath, is that the man in the middle of the block whose property was bisected by the imagin- ary district line would be compelled to con- tribute to improving two streets, though he has no interest in one of them, but if his property fronted on two streets he would ~ Ye to pay for four improvements instead of two. Mr. McMath thinks the present plan far preferable. Reliable under all circumstances is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, the people’s friend. ABOUT TOWN.

Her tone was sharp and her eyes had an angry snap io them, “It was John Markham,” answered Mar- gery, quietly enough, as she took off her bonnet, but the tone in which the question had been asked brought an extra color to her cheek and a sparkle of resentment to her eyes. “I thought so,’ responded Miss Nancy, in her most trritating way. ‘‘Margery Arm- strong, I should think you'd be ashamed of yourself.”’ “What for?’ asked Margery. aware that [’ve done anything ashamed of.”’ “OO, you needn't try to plead {nnocence,”’ retorted Miss Nancy. “You ought to be ashamed of going with that Markham fel- low, and you know it.” don’t know any such thing,” answered Margery, facing her aunt bravely. “John Markham is a respectable young man.

I think I'll do a little—or most—of the shaking.” Just then the train came along, and Miss Nancy got aboard of it without being seen by the young men, That evening, when ehe came home, as luck would have it, she met the Squire's nephew at the station. “If you’re going home you might walk along with me and help carry some of my bundles,” she said, in her very pleasant manner. “I'm just about tired out. I’ve been seeing to a good deal of business to- day. I’ve had a deed made out, giving Margery the south forty acres of the farm, and I’ve been pricing carpets and furniture and finding out how much It’s going to cost to set up a young couple in housekeeping. Of course they won’t need the tnings right away, but I thought I'd get some idea of what the expense would be.”’ “They—who do you mean?” asked the young man in bewilderment, “Why Margery and Mr. Markman, of course,”” answered Nancy. “Who else should I mean?’ “You don’t mean to say you're going to let your niece marry that fellow!’ cried the squire’s nephew in gurprise and con- sternation. “Why, certainly,” replied Miss Nancy, as if she had never had any other idea. ‘He's a nice young man, He's got brains, and when he gets Margery he'll get money, for the new railroad’s going to make the land I've deeded ther worth a snug littie for- une,” “T’'d like to know how you knew about the new raltlroad?’’ cmed the astonished young man. a “QO I keep posted on such matters,” sald Miss Nancy, looking wise. “But here we are at my gate. Thank you for bringing my bundles. Won't you come tn?" “No. not to-night,” was the gruff reply, and Miss Nancy chuckled as the young ian went his way. ‘ mel guess I've got about even with you,” she said, nodding her head after his re- treating figure. “I — he was about as much surprised as Margery'll be. Her niece had eeen her, and came out to meet her and help her with her bundles. joe “Margery, I’ve got something to tell you, said Miss Nancy, anxious to have the mat- ter disposed of. “I’ve thought it all over, and I don’t know but you're right about John Markham. It is foolish to ‘et an old ‘grudge stand in the way of young folks’ happiness.

CONVICTED BY CHEMISTRY. A Bank Robber and His Money Identi- fied by a Scientist. DES MOIN®ES, Io., April 7.—Prof. Floyd Davis, the chemfst, has returned from Mis- souril, where he has been making an exam- ination of money found on the person of Charles Martin, accused of blowing open the safe of the Farmers’ Bank at Sheri- dan. The investigation is for the local Bankers’ Casualty Co. It was wished to ascertain whether the money came from the safe which was blown open by nitro- glycerine. Prof. Davis says the money bears every evidence of having come in contact with gases liberated by ‘explosives. No marks are visible to the naked eye. The alleged robber’s clothing will be sub- jected to the same test. The examination has never been tried before, but is being used with a view to prosecuting all future cases Of a similar nature by the expert tes- timony of chemists. After the announce- ment of the result of the investigation Mar- tin offered to enter a plea of guilty, pro- vided the prosecution would agree to ask that only the minimum penalty, two years’ imprisonment, be imposed.

IN THE SOUTH. MEMPHIS OPENS SATURDAY. A Great Race Wiil Likely Be Run When the Montgomery Handicap Candidates Face the Flag. The Little Rock and Nashville race meetings, the first events of the legitimate racing season of 1898, have both proven genuine frosts. The Little Rock meeting is seldom a win- ner, but this year cold and rough ‘weather and other ill conditions ruined its pros- pects, and it wae a failure from the etart. Some idea of the situation at Nashville ean be gleaned from the following letter | from there dated April 6: “There was hardly a corporal’s guard at Cumberland Park this afternoon, but in all probability the attendance would have been even smaller but for a loosening up on the part of the management in the matter of complimentary badges and a reduction in the admiasion fee to & cents, as the day was one of the coldest experienced here re- vently.”’ : The weather tn the South and West dur- ing the latter part of March and the first week in April nas been so wet and cold that now sunshiny days are looked for and ' the Memphis meeting which opens on sSat- urday the horsemen hope to see ushered ‘in with falr and warm weather, The Memphis meeting which will open its ates this year with the Montgomery Han- dicap promises to be the best.ever hel« ‘there. An Associated Press dispatch from there this morning gives the starters in the opening event and the | long odds the best that ' year. Among the horses named as sure to start is Ornament. now favorite for the Brooklyn handicap and considered the greatest horse of this year. He will carry top weight, conceding no less than 28 pounds to Presby- terian, the Schorra’ crack colt, Ornament, even with the big impost he is called on to shoulder, is touted as the win- ner of the Montgomery. He was given his final preparation yesterday with Jockey Dupel up. The time by eighths and quar- ters was ag follows: :12, 44, 36%, 49%, 1:01, 1:16, 1:28, 1:41%, 1:48, 1:5. This was phenomenally fast work. The idea of a horee running a mile in 1:41% this early in ‘the season has never before been equaled, except by Ornament himself, who, last year, on one Sunday morning, jJugt before the ' races began, went nine furlongs in 1:5. In |a race several days Jater Ornament made a |mnew track record for Montgomery Park. when he won at a mile and an eighth in : Ornament by his work yesterday e | romised field is by | as faced a flag this | pounds, but he preferred 160, So many’ peo- ; 'right hand than Whey Evans. KIWAN'S CONQUEROR, ee NOW CALLING JONES A “RINGER.” IS HE REALLY WILEY EVANS? Some Say He Is, and They Knowing the Latter Well, Ought to Know What They Are Talking About. They are saying around Chicago now that Chappie Jones, the man who defeated George Kirwan so-handily at Chicago the other night, is a “ringer.” Harry Fails, a Milwaukee lightweight, insists that the alleged Chapple Jones is no other than the well-known colored boxer, Wiley Evans, who was a familiar figure in Cincinnat! boxing circles about two years ago. Fails was in Chicago Sunday, and he in- sists that he got the tip straight that Chap- pie Jones is Wiley Evans. “I'll give you my authority,” said Fails. “1 was talking with Frank Garrard, the pugilist, and he told me it was Wiley Evans who fought Kirwan. Gerrard ought to know Evans, | and he said there wasn’t the slightest doubt about Kirwan being up against a ringer. In spite of Gerrard's identification of | Jones as Wiley Pvyans the report will hard- |} ly be accepted. Wiley Evans used to Dox | in and around Chicago.

PLANS -_----—- @& >> -------———- THE MANAGER OF THE BROWNS WILL PROBABLY MAKE CLEMENTS CAPTAIN. STIVETTS FOR FIRST BASE. SS Big Jack’s Pitching Days Are Over and Now St. Louis Wants Him for His Heavy Hitting. Just one week from to-morrow and the Chicago White Stockings will be here play- ing the St. Louis Browns the first cham- pionship game of the National League season of 1898. The Chicagos have had j magnificent six weeks of training in the South, and they will be in the very pink of condition when they reach here. Up to this writing the Browns have been badly handicapped in their practice, but with a heroism worthy of.a better caus: they have gone on with thelr work and done the best they could under the circum- stances. There is a full week between now and the firing of the first championship rocket, and | if the sun will only keep on shining Hurst | will bring his men to the post in fair con- dition. He has the nine placed now, and the only position that ts not filled t® his thorougn | satisfaction is that at first base. He has three men in mind for this posi- tion, Stivetts, Tucker and La Chance, with The latter the Browns i their palmy days. big Jack was with Boston last year as a pitcher, ‘but he believes that his pitching days are ‘over and he wants to round up his career (at first. ! i Jack would prove a great addition to the Browns in a batting. way, and that is why Hurst prefers his services above ail others. \ The new manager of the Browns has not is to captain the Browns this season, but it is dollars to pennies that Clements will start out in that position. He led the Phillies in their most prosperous days ana was a winner in the position. Outside of Clements only one-other man is talked of for the captaincy afid that is Dowd. Hurst believes that an infielder should be in charge of the team. So this leaves Dowd out of the calculations, and with Clements in almost complete command f the eituation. The Browns played 4 practice game yes- terday, the old Philadelphia players being itted against the All Americas. The old Pniliies won by 8 to 7 and with Pete Finn umpiring. It was the prettiest game played at Sportsman's Park so far this year, Connie Mack’s Milwaukee team will no? get here until Saturday and ge | will play their opening games with the Browns on that afternoon.

After a Long Season of Enmity They Shake Hands and Make Up. Jim Corbett and Joe Choynski have been bad friends for a long while. They often abused each other in the pub- lic press. They were chums when they were boys. They went to she same school together, belonged to the same athjetic club, attended the same theater, ate at. the same restau- rants and were never aut of each other's company. Where one was the i other was sure to be found. They were closer than brothers. Their stanch friendship for each other was talked about by their friends and relatives. While they loved their books they loved athletics better. Their spare hours were passed at the Olym- pic Club in San Francisco and other clubs of this character. By day and by night they were seen developing their powers of endurance. One day they fought on a barge at San Francisco and they have not been good friends since. One day last week Choynsk! and his friend, Eddie Graney, were seated in & restaurant in San Francisco when Corbett passed by. “Will you make up with him,” quizzed Eddie. The question came so suddenly that Joe said yes before he-scarcely realized*what he was doing. A second later Graney was on the street, “Ho, Jim; I want to see you,"’ he shouted. Jim stopped and came back. “Joe wants to see you,”’ added Eddie. “And I want to see Joe,"’ cut In Jim. Joe walked to the entrance, and there they shook hands and there the bonds of friend- ship were voreinec. The big fellow sat down and they talked like two school boys who had not seen each other for_a dog's age. Graney left them there. Fe was the hap- pleat man in San Francisco that night. He ad accomplished what he had said he would—reconcile Jim and Joe. MEMPHIS RACE MEETING. List of Probable Starters in the Mont- gomery Handicap.

H. 0’ Brien has lost a large chunk of ‘his falih In human n: ature in gen- eral, lawyers in particular, and he swears by the rreat horned spoon th: it he will nev- er agath consent to hold mone vy in escrow o. Wnen there is nothing in it for him. “4Mr. O'Brien, as nearly everybody knows, has an office in the Union Trust Bullding. On floors higher up two her lawyers, James M. Borton and Lee Kugel, have of- fices. There is a barber and these three there the other da wee ee ee ee ,. ot shop in the building, a ye g Sappe ned to meet Vhen they had ; been barbered ap h: id exhauste a ne weather and the war with Spain, Lawyers Kugel and Borton asked Lawyer O'Brien tf - he would do them mutually a service. He sald wertainty, if he could, ney then requested him to receive ( hold in escrow $200 in cash for several d ro until @ pending divorce case, Whitsett vs. Whitsett, was decided, and then to pay the money in accordance with the court’s de- cision. If Mrs. Annie Susie Whitsett got the divorce, Mr. O’Brien was to pay the money to Mr. Kugel ¢o insure Mrs. Whit- sett the alimony that would be ordered. If she did not procure the divorce, the money was to be returned to Mr. Borton. . Mr.. O’Brien said he would accept the trust, provided they would assure him there Was no trouble or misunderstanding about the money, and that he would encounter no further trouble than its receipt, safe-keep- ing and payment.- The assurance wags giv- en, the terms of the escrow were written out and signed, and Mr. Borton passed the r over to Mr. O'’Rrien, who returned to office and placed it in the safe. Late Wednesday afternoon Mr. O’Brien was leaving the Courthouse, when he was met in the rotunda by a deputy sheriff, who greeted him with suspicious friendlinéss. “T believe,”’ said the deputy, ‘‘you have in your possession that you are hold- ng for Mr. Kugel! and Mr. Borton.’ "Sow do you Know?" asked Mr. O'Brien in. astonishment. “IT am told so,"’ persisted the deputy, “and Iam directed to serve you with this paper. The paper proved to be a writ of attach- ment, issued at the instance of Mrs. Whit- ae . ow,” says Mr. O'Brien, “IT am tn for legal controversy, just because I was “natured enough to accommodate two ai brethren in distress. The worst of it _ ia the Whitsett divorce case has been laid over until May 13. I guess in the mean- time I'll just take that $200 out of escrow and have fun with it.” The husband in the divorce case is Dr. Kdgar Movre Whitsett. Westminster Endeavorers.

OUR COAL OUTPUT, OFFICIAL FIGURES GIVEN OUT. There Was an Increase of 6,270,000 Tons Last Year, in Spite of Strikes and Other Troubles. WASHINGTON, April 7.—From a prelim- inary statement compiled by E. W. Parker, of the United States Geolog'- it is shown that the total output of coal in the United States in 1897 amount- ed approximately to 198,250,000 short tons, with an egate value of $198,100,000, a fraction than $] per ton. Compared with 1896 this shows an inerease in tonnage about 3.3 per cent, The increase in the value of the product was only $1.700000. a little less than .9 of one per cent. The amount of coal produced in 1897 was the largest on record. The av- eave value per ton was the lowest ever known. The anthracite produc tion in Penn- svlvania decreased nearly two and a quar- ter million tons, from 54,346,081 short ieor, of 2000 pounds to »: » 408 short tons in 1 while the average price received at the mines pe r short ton was $1.65 in both years The fact that the bituminous product: on should “have shown an increase of 8,500,000 tons in spite of the prolonged strike in the competitive fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois, four of them being the largest coal producing States, aggregating neariy 100,000,000 tons, or more than two-thirds of the entire output, may be taken as an evidence of the wonderful ca- pacity of our developed bituminous mines, Of the 29 bituminous coal-producing States there Were only six in which the production of 1897 was less than in the preceding year. These six were Georgia, Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio and Oregon. In 15 of them the output was the largest ever obtained. Of the five competitive States pre- viously mentioned, only one (Ohio) had a decreased production in 1897. In 20 out of the 29 States producing bituminous coal the average pric ’e per ton in 1897 was less than it was in 189, the general average for the United States being 83 cents in 1896 and 81.6 in 1897. Considering the industry by States, Penn- sylvania holds her usual position, with 106,- 000,000 short*tons, Illinois remains in second place with a total of a little over 20,000,000 short tons, West Virginia comes third, hav- ing increased her output nearly 700, 0) tons over 1896, and leadine Ohio, which comes fourth by nearly 1,250,000 tons. Alabama reached her’ maximum output of 5,893,77 tons, and stands fifth. Iowa, sixth, lacked only 85,000 tons of reaching 5,000,000 tons.

Few men have participated in a charivari [in honor of their divorced wife’s taking on & second husband. John Laundman of Poepping)| street and Ivory avenue is the exception, Mrs. Laundman got a divorce two weeks ago, alleging non-support{ and cruel treat- ment, ‘Tuesday night she married Fred Ryan, Laundman’s ‘neighbor, of 730 Poep- ping street. Mrs. Laundman-Ryan was at first Miss Katie Kenecker of Grand avenue and Osceola street, and three years ago married Laundman, by whom she has one child. During the ‘divorce proceedings he did not appear in court, and the divorce was Sranted by default. Following close upon the divorce came the mairiage license and then the wedding Tuesday night. About 8 o’clock a crowd of men and boys, among whom was Laund- man, armed with tin pans and _ =horns, marched to the Ryans house. The cere- mony rg es begun. Then a noise went up that ost fractured the ear drums of the bride and groom. The groom’s family pleaded with the merry crowd of noise- makers to cease until the ceremony was performed, but the pleading was in vain. The bride and groom nodded in assent to the questions propounded without hearing them, All this while Laundman was beat- ing a tin pan at a furious rate and was having as much fun as any of them. At 1 o'clock Wednesday morning the noise ceased, but it will be some days be- fore the Ryan family again become accus- tomed to stillness. The~housewife who will take the time to go through the stalls of Union Market and look at the immense array of good things and fail to find material for a good dinner must irideed be hard to please. And she may buy enough to tempt the most dainty appetite and satisfy the hunger of the most voracious with not.a big expenditure of coin. Though it is still early in the season, and home-grown garden truck is not yet even to be thought of, the Southern markets have ‘been invaded and all ‘the dainties and many of the substantials of the Southland are spread in tempting array for the pro- viders for St. Louis families. Strawberries lead the list of the good things now on tap at Union Market. The stall shelves are red as blood with the scarlet and delfitiously flavored fruit. Though they are shipped hundreds of miles they appear fresh and firm and it is hard for the good housekeeper to resist their at- tractions. Most of them come from Loulis- jana, and the prices are not exorbitant. The bottom of the boxes are yet pretty near the top, but. as the fruit becomes more plentiful the bottoms will go downy with the prices. Now one can buy a pint box for 12% to 15 cents, while quarts may be had from 23 to 8% cents. Florida sends most of the early vegeta- bles to St. Louis nowadays. Her choicest product now is tomatoes. They are large, red and ripe, and are vet quite a delicacy. One can buy a single tomato for 5 cents or half a dozen for a quarter.

Answers the Description of the Burglar Who Resisted Arrest and Is Held for Identification. A negro. who says his name is Pau! Young, is locked up, suspected of murder. The prisoner answers fairly well the de- scription of the burglar who shot and killed George H. Leonard, city marshal of Cam- eron, Mo., March 16. Young was arrested Wednesday night about 9 o’clock by Patrolman Rellly of the Second District. The officer’s attention was attracted to the negro on account of his suspicious movements in the Wiggin’s Ferry Yards on Barton street. Under the lights at the station, Young’s resemblance to the Cameron burglar was discovered. He will be held pend ng com. munication with the Cameron — ties. Rewards aggregating $3058.50 ha over the head of the burglar who caubtede Mar.- shal Leonard. The crime was especially atrocious, On the night of March 16 a negro, whose identity was unknown, burglarized four residences in Cameron. Marshal Leonard pursued and captured the burglar just in time to keep him from jumping aboard an outgoing freight train. The Marshal took the prisoner into the union depot, intending to search him and then walk him on to the jail. The negro drew a pistol and shot the Marshal. Mortally wounded, the officer emptied his gun at the fleeing burglar, and then died. Young denies that he is the fugitive. He says he was never at Cameron, that he has been living at Hannibal for a year, and came here three weeks ago. COULD NOT FIND HER FATHER Ida Self Went to Clayton and Married Samuel W. Klinkemper.

The girl was accompanied by her mother and her prospective husband. Mrs. Self stated that Ida’s father had not been at home for eight years, although she under- stood that he was in St. Louis. Ida joined her pleas with those of the mother and the clerk wept ae he refused the paper. “You must get the consent of the girl's father.” he eaid. “Then we'll find him,” replied Mrs. Self firmly as she led the way from the building. But that is just what she did not do. In- stead she bundled fhe party on a Lindell car and in an hour had them before Clerk Peter Wetzel at Clayton.
