WASHINGTON, April 15 —Senator Cullom of Illinois made a hot ar- raignment of Spain on the floor of the Senate this morning. He held Spain criminally and officially responsible for blowing up:-the Maine. He favored immediate armed intervention in Cuba to drive Spain from the Western Hemisphere. During his speech Mr. Cullom took occasion to praise the American press. Those newspapers, he said, which had ap- peared to be the most sensational] had not, in describing conditions in Cuba or the blowing up of the Maine, been even haif sensational enough. In regard to European intervention he said that America would, if need be, stand against the whole civilized world. “The divine right of kings,” he said, right of people to judge for themselves.”’ 1°) ‘‘must not affect the eek oO ~ gents, but if it should a veto of it would be very improbable. It is said, however, that the President might regard it as an encroachment on his prerogative, the dence of a nation. DENOUNCED AS AN INFAMOUS CALUMNY. Premier Sagasta’s Dieclatoner of Spanish Responsi- bility for the Maine Disaster. LONDON, April 15.—Senor Sagasta, the Spanish Premier, is quoted in a special dis- patch from Madrid as saying, with reference to the destruction of the Maine having been caused through Spanish agencies: “This infamous calumny merits the reproba- tion of the whole world. All the nations:-know the true reason of the disaster, and many American officials know it, too. For the American Government to base a plea justice. For this reason it is impossible for ug to refrain from protesting formally to the powers against the imputation.” Spain’s Flotilla Has Not Sailed, but the Vessels Are Being Painted Black.

Opinions among Senators differ as to the probable effect of any such representa- tions as are said to be contemplated or as to the House of Representatives, the reso- lution offered by the majority of the & Senate Committee on Foreign Af- | fairs, known as the Davis resolution, that offered by the minority called the Turpie resolution, and the Frye amendment, The first of these—the House reso- > lution, recites the inhuman war waged by Spain upon the Cubans, the manifest inability of the mother » country to subdue the island, the in- tolerable injury suffered by the com- mercial interests of the United States and the expense of policing the sea : in order to maintain neutrality, It describes the destruction of the : Maine as the culmination of a long & series of offenses for which ‘Spain is responsible. And the President is authorized and directed to inter- vene at once to stop the war with the purpose of securing permanent peace and a stable, independent gov- ernment by the free action of the Cuban people themselves. The Presi- dent is authorized to use the army - and navy to execute this purpose. This resolution was laid on the ta- ble temporarily. The Davis measure recites substan- tially the facts as set forth in the House resolution and resolves that the people of the Island of Cuba are free and independent, that it ts the duty of the United States to require Spain to relinquish authority over the island and withdraw her land and naval forces, and that the President is authorized and directed to employ the whole military force of the coun- try to carry the purpose into e fect. The Turple resolution is identica) with that of Senator Davis, exce pt that the present government of Guba is recognized as an Independent sov- erelgn power among the nations of the world. o The Frye amendment directs the President to bring about the immedi- ate termination of hostilities: to se- cure a stable and independent gov- ernment for and by the people. If the Frye amendment prevails it will go to the House and there be substituted for the resolution which passed that body. If the Davis or Turple resolutions pass, the ques- tion will go to conference and a com- promise between the two houses will be effected. The Turple resolution is supported by the following Republican Sena- tors: Forake , Thurston, Chandler, Gallinger, Deboe, Neilson, Mason, Baker, Quay, Péevros¢e and Mantle. The Democrats who will vote against it are Faulkier, Gray, Gor- man, Morgan, Caffrey, White, Smith and perhaps Murphy.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 15.—It is the President’s intention to drive Spain out of Cuba. He realize s that Spain will not withdraw peaceably and, more than that, he is beginning to believe there is no hope of turning the war tide in Con- gress. If a clash must come the President’s intention is to give his act of war a hu- manitarian aspect. He proposes to send merchant vessels loaded with medicines and food and clothing for the starving Cubans to Havana and Matanzas. These vessels will be accompanied by a fleet of 20 warships and by transports carrying regular United States troops. They will land peaceably and take possession of the, fortified towns unless Spain fires on them. If Spain fires the first shot the battleships Indiana and Iowa and the mont- tors Puritan, Terror and Amphitrite will instantly begin the bombardment ot Havana with their 12 and 13-inch guns. How lo the 200 years’ old f tions of Havana will stand 1s an friteresting question. The bombardment is not likely to last longer than the bombardment of Alexandria by the British fleet in 1883—about four hours. Then the only thing that will remain will be for the United States torpedo boats to clear Havana harbor of the submarine mines, and the United States will be in possession of the capital of Cuba. There is no longer the slightest doubt or hesitation in the President’s mind ‘about driving Spain out of Cuba. That is settled. | The only difference now between the President and Congress is as to the 'method. The President does not wish the United States to be held responsible, not only for its own acts in Cuba, but for the subsequent acts of the Cuban Republic. Mr. McKinley is positive after consultation with ex-Senator Edmunds and others that the United States will be responsible for bonds and damages if independence is recognized before peace is obtained. One other important point is made clear. It was publicly stated yesterday that the President would veto a plain declaration of war or a resolution recognis- r ~~ He will execute it unhesitatingly, be #& The President has some important secret information. He has learned offi- cially that the European powers do not favor recognition. The information came, 11 am informed, throuch United States Ministers abroad. Sir Julian Pauncefote, it is reported, has informally expressed himself on this point. There are several hundred thousand residents of Cuba who fear the insurgent leaders. The property holders generally prefer annexation to the United States, The European powers consider that this large number of people should be pro- tected. The whole subject has been made clear to the President. I am informed that Senator Davis accepted the President's wishes for the He recognized the diplomatic side of the question. WILLIAM SHAW BOWEN, — sl Correspondent of the Post- -Diapet™, SAGASTA’S “APPEAL TO THE POWERS. Responsibility for the Strength of the Cuban Rebellion Placed Upon the United States. LONDON, April 15.—A special dispatch from Madrid, published this after- noon, says: “The note to the Powers will review the whole Cuban question, point- ing out that all the trouble with the United States arises through the clamor of the sugar manufacturers, who, it is claimed, fomented cnd organized the entire revolt. Attention will be recalled to the alleged unmolested American filibusters, and it will be asserted that the chief insurgent leaders are not Cubans but adventurers of all na- tionalities, whose sole purpose is plunder and robbery. “The concessions made by Spain will be enumerated, and the note will say that while Spain has done everything to pacify the island the consuls of the United States have constituted themselves insurgent agents, and the further statement will be made that when autonomy promised the desired result an American squadron was sent to Cuba to encourage the insurgents to hold out. “These contentions, it is added, will be supported by evidence, which, it is alleged, will prove the bad faith displayed throughout by the United States towards Spain.’ z The note to the Powers will conclude. with declaring that Spain having ex- hausted every means of peace, is reluctantly compelled to prepare for war and te fight for the maintenance of its mghts and onor QUEEN REGENT GIVES $200,000 TO THE NAVY OF SPAIN” pesetas gains her millions of blessing®.”. above reason.

, it was the expressed intention of Chairman Davis to endeavor to force a continuous session until the pending resolutions were disposed of. When the Senate ad- journed last night the Vice-President had before him a list of 23 Senators who had expressed their intention to address the Senate upon the momentous question be- fore it. Whether all of them will avail themselves of the opportunity to talk is somewhat problematical, as a dozen or more have afnounced that they will not stand in the way of an early vote.

Friday James Haley, an old market gar- dener, 70 years of age, with a large fam- ily to support, discovered that he, too, had lost his little savings of a lifetime through the same agency. His attorney, Judge J. P. Vastine, has on his desk a yellow envelope containing six or seven notes, aggregating 3000, which Perry had given td Haley as security for money given him to invest. Haley, like the rest of Perry’s @yictims, had absolute confidence in him and never thought of go- ing through any Jegal formalities with him, He just gave. Perry his money and Perry, a day or two later,; would tell him that he had loaned [tt out to certain persons and would give him noteées for the amounts. Two of the notes are for $1000 each.

Ex-Speaker Dieckman Paid an After- noon Call on the Councilman. That Coureilman Frederick G. Uthoff was under rigid espionage by the administration for days before the final vote on the Cen- tral Traction bill, his promises to the Mayor learned that Uthoff had voted against the veto and forfeited his voluntary pledge to the contrary. So anxious were the friends of the Ad- ministration not to eee it besmirched by such a foul blot of boodling as er knew the Centra! Traction bill to be that they put men on the trail of the boodlers who they knew were bent on pushing the bill through at whatever cost. Their strongest hope to save the honor of the Administration was Uthoff. The Mayor’s confidence in Uthoff Was serene, but evidently not so with his friends. They thought he would bear watch- inz and they did watch him. The trailer saw ex-Speaker Louis Dieck- man when he entered Uthoff’s house. He knew what that meant, for Dieckman was the man who was to accomplish great re- sults for the franchise grabbers. Uthoff’s yote was the pivot. As Dieckman entered Uthoff’s door the exact minute was marked, and so it was when he left. It only took him half an hour to put the finishing touches on what the result shows. Immediately the following letter was writ- ten, and copies of it sent to men in the Council as a final appeal to be on the alert and uée their influence with colleagues to support the Mayor’s veto: March 31, ’98. A very mysterious visit was paid to 3415 South Grand avenue yesterday from 1:40 to 2:15 p. m. by the ex- Speaker of the House of Delegates, Louis Dieckman, — @2@o @o@® A small boy with a heavy voice and a face that suggested an appetite for pea- nuts, saw a double bill for one admission at the Century Theater gallery Thursday night. It was the occasion of the gallery party of local young society ladies and gen- tlemen—but this part of the entertainment had not been announced to the gallery god. He saw richly dressed young women and ; men pick their way down the steep gallery aisle and occupy 25 cent seats. He saw this from his 15 cent location further back, and wondered. His face was shiny from soap, and his hair carefully plastered, and though he was not particuiar about his dress he did wear a real new necktie. He got just as far to the front as the second-class gallery service permitted and then lessened the distance between him-, self and the stage several feet by leaning | over the row of vacant seats in front. He seemed happier, though the fooflights were still nearly a half “block away. e added 5 cents to his expense account for the al- most neceseary gallery delicacy, and had just begun to scatter the shells when the nearly lost his head “seeing things.”’ There was a “guy” with a biack bob- tailed and a girl with a hat that looked like a young hothouse. He was gaz. ng with awe when there Was some more rust- ling and another “swell dressed loidy’’ en- tered, with an escort. “And say,” the small boy fairly velled, “did you see the geezer shut up his hat | like a book? He was imparting this to! another god, | “Say, fellah,”’ came the reply. “Cheese it. Them’s actors; it’s a part of the play : to come up here, just like the hoozier at | the circus what's paid by Ringling to sit in de audience. Now, don't make no more wild speels.’’ “Rut what's they going to do?’ ‘Guess they'll sing or talk back at the stage or something. Just wait till the show begins.”’ The boys did watch and lent an attentive ar. When one of the party told a funny story and the others laughed, why, they laughed, too. They saw the swell young men buy gallery “fruit” and the shameful waste In the onslaught that followed. “Them guys are having a regular war with peanuts. And, say, pipe the swell | lady throwing, too. She can’t throw no more’n a rabbit.’ The aemal! boys were having the funniest kind of atime. But not a bit more than the young aociety people. The gallery was as much a novelty to them ag they were to the two “heaven” heroes. They even thought it funny to walk up the steps wind- ing stairway, vy it ee and it felt glortous- ly dangerous to look way down to the par- quette. One of the young ladies, who waa afraid, was assisted and the others never finished teliing how they were not the least bit frightened. The party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Donovan, Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. Weber, Mr. and Mrs. wender, the Misses Bowman, Bremmer- man, Bryson, Holm, M. Rassfeid, Lacy Mall, Gehner. Grace’ Bayard, Anheuser, Woodward, Luyties, Pauline Gehner, May Maguire, Laumeler, . Flesh, Samesreu- ther, O'Neil and Conrad, and Messrs. OE. Helfensteller, W. Fogeman, Henry Broeck- eler, Tom Seit, Gus Niemann, Henry Lau- meier, Frank Bergs, and Joe Donovan. Mr. Joe Donovan was looked upon as the host, as he originated the gallery party. Just to add excitement it was ag that every man attending should wear a full evening dress and to come in rubber tired carriages, no matter if they only had two blocks to go. A committee stood at the gallery entrance in the alley and had the carriages drive right in and deposit - sengers at the door. They were given tickets, a bag of peanuts and each a half piece of chewing gumg¢” also a regular one- sheet “nigger heaven” programme. If any of the invited appeared in aty part of the house except the gallery, he or she was to meet the expense of a box party for the crowd. And the party must be given within two weeks, Another rule was that any one or more of the gentlemen failing to appear in full dress would be aesigned the |expense and duty of host at an after-the- ater supper. The “host” was Frank Berg, assistant first discovered. Mr. partsenger agent of / the Wabash, appeared at a dinner party having the time to for his swallow tatfi.

Thrice he has vetoed the iniquitous measure, but corrupt. influences proved stronger than the veto power and the influence of the Mayor. : is Mayor Ziegenhein saitins to let this shameless scheme protect the people? Is he willing to let his administration, be stained with the most monstrous franchise job in the history of St. Iouis, without an attempt to expose the corruption of the deal and to bring the perpetrators to justice? When all the ordinary powers of the Chief Executive of the city fail to protect the people from loot by promoters and corrupt legislators, there remains an appeal to the law and the courts. One of the best remedies for the betrayal of public trust and the plunder of the people is the punishment of the plunderers. Mayor Ziegenhein has shown himself to be a man of cour- age and action. He has placed himself on record as the cham- pion of the people against the franchise grabbers. He hag an opportunity to signalize this record by taking up the task of bringing the plunderers to justice. He has an opportunity to clear his personal administration of al! taint of corrup- tion and to perform a great stroke in behalf of honest mu- nicipal government. Let the Mayor lead and direct the movement to uncover n'] the corruption in the Centra! Traction franchise steal. Nothing he could do would reflect more credit upon his ad- ministration than the exposure of rascality in franchise rob- bery, and the punishment of the rascals. hi Li Li — SS.

Senator Lodge hit the nail on the head In his speech in the Senate yesterday. “We cannot take money for the dead men of the Maine,” taidhe. ‘There is only one reparation, only one monument to raise over that grave and this is free Cuba and peace in the isiand,”’ * Those are almost the Very words employed by the Post- Dispatch to express the same sentiment ten davs after the crime of Havana harbor was committed. It is the true American doctrine on this question. a OT a Spain still relies upon her d!plomacy, which is much more eifective than her guns. Lh, Le Lip oe _ - -_ PUT STRIPES ON THEM. Boodling is no new thing in St. Louis, but.{t was never so beld and unblushing as it is at present. The Central Traction bill, by which the city loses millions, Was not passed through the Assembly without the payment of a good round price, and it is the duty of the grand jury to look into it. As the ordinance conflicts with the Julian law. we may yet escape from the clutches of the gang, but however that may be, the men who sold out the city and betrayed their trust. Should be put where Judge Marshall said they ought to go. Men who are not restrained by a sense of decency or common honesty must be restrained by law. _ . —_ All the plain facts that some weeks ago were denounced as ‘sensational,’’ and which live newspapers were bound to give nre now repeated as the truth—which they have been all the iine. —_— — aoe GENERAL LEE’S TESTIMONY. fen.

Blanco, he inclines to think Weyler and Admiral Manterola knew of the plot, if they did not concoct ijt. Coming from such a source, the opinion outweighs every theory of the anti-American Americans who have been plead- ing the cause of Spuin.

Speaker Thomas B, Reel of the National House of Representatives ts qualified to discuas the subject ably. He will make the most noteworthy of recent contributions on the subject in the next Sunday Post-Dispetch. His force of logic and grace of dic- tion will make his effort entertaining, even to those who may net beable to coincide with his views or conclusions. There will be many other attractive features, all about peo- wle. The magazine section will contain stories about a man “ho lives with a broken heart, a blind woman who sees by { equally absurd been seriously entertained by the President. Humanity demands the immediate liberation of Cuba with- oit conditions. The honor and dignity of the United States, violated by the destruction of the Maine and the murder of 266 American sea- men, demand speedy vindication. These cannot be submitted to arbitration. In their nature they are subjects for diplomacy or arms. The only possible settlement satisfactory to the American people is Cuban in- dependence and adeauate atonement for the Maine crime. This Settlement must be obtained—peaceably if possible, forcibly if necessary. —_—-—_ —_—_— 6 oo—__—_—_—_—— Members of the Municipal Assembly are by no means op- ™~ posed to the sale of franchises. But when a sale takes place they should let the people know the terms. It is awkward to have to depend upon a grand jury for the facts. a, Li, — a ae THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS. «The Ritter amendment providing that the Mayor's official Cabinet be elected instead of appointed is the last of a series of jugglings with the charter amendments, and seems to have been intended merely as a slap at the Mayor and to niake the entire amendment scheme ridiculous. It is probable now that the amendment ordinance will fail of passage. It ought to fail. It would be criminal waste to incur the expense of a special election to enable the voters to “turn down” this batch of provisions for wholesale jobbery. Next time charter amendment is in order it is to be hoped trat it will be managed in the people’s interest by men with the public interest at heart. The people have had enough of the kind of charter amendment attempted at this session of the city Legislature. = = rT The Iowa Legiskature has amended its inheritance tax law S80 that it may now bear the scrutiny of the courts. Under this law, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins are con- sidered collateral heirs and must pay the tax, which is 5 per cent. If the tax is not paid within the prescribed time it draws 8 per cent interest. Inheritances of less than $1000 are not taxed. -— eee Senor Polo is leaving Washington.

The vicious element in Chicago’s legisla- tive body does not appear to be strong enough to overcome vetoes. Mayor Ziegenhein needs a cleaner Assembly. Notwithstanding Mr. Wanamaker’s warnings, the Pennsy]- vania Republicans are adhering to Quay. It is likely to be a long time before Pennsylvania is ready for reform of any sort. Secretary Long says no news whatever respecting naval movements will be made public. The Secretary is mistaken. The news will be obtained and published. It is found that Republican officials have stolen $1,223,000 from the State of Nebraska. There seems to be an opening for a merit system over there. Had it been known at first how true he would be to his country’s honor, would Fitzhugh Lee have been sent to Cuba? If Spain expects to save Cuba with her fleet 2500 miles away it must be because she has long range guns. One of the minor goods of the situation is the probable recall] of Minister Woodford. ’ What were they there for? >= bl POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. “What went ye forth to see?” inquired The Master of the Twelve inspire q In Congress now the answer find-- A Reed that’s shaken by the wind.

It is not desirable to be a warbug, but when war cannot be honorably avoided every patriot is justified in appearing as one. Spain’s right to buy mules in this country dates back to the time when George Washington was presented a Spanish jack- ass. A pro-Spanish organ charges Jerry Simpson with “harassing the Presfdent.”” Jerry also harassed Czar Reed with a remark on the Speaker's reconcentrados. The sinking of a Spanish vessel by contact with her own anchor is a good illustration of the fate of Spain.

Gen. Grant has stepped down from his pedestal and stands ready to go where duty calls him in these stirring times. Mayor Ziegenhein, commander-in-chief of the city forces, has ordered the bronze gen- eral to report for duty at Twelfth and Mar- ket streets, and he must perforce obey the command, The General's present quarters are not comfortable. Last night he slept on the muddy ground, without even an army blan- ket for ccvering. Rest under such circum- stances would be wearing on one less hard- ened, but the old warrior showed no signs of fatigue when a Post-Dispatch reporter spoke to him Friday morning. There was a deep metallic ring in his voice as he said in reply to a question: “Yes, I rested well, I was much better off than I was at Shiloh, where [I sat in the mud all night, leaning against a tree. Besides, you mist remember, I had been standing up there on that pedestal for five years. A great many men find that standing on a pedestal is a tiresome thing. Since I stepped down here I hdve heard that my old friend, McKinley, is now on a pedestal. I wonder how he likes it?’’ The reporter hazarded a question about the war. The great commander's bronzed face was hard set as he answered: “Congress has started out well. If I were in a position to advise I would say: ‘Fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.’ ” ‘“‘But what of those who are crying, ‘Let us have peace? ”’ ‘“That’s a good thing to say after you've whipped the enemy,” responded Gen. Grant. Gen, Grant will soon be in his new quar- ters on the new City Hall grounds. There he will ke watch and ward over the munici- al building while his one-time personal riend, Mayor Ziegenhein, is leading a regi- ment against the Spaniards. HIS SHOELATCH HURT HIM. Frank Emerson King’s Unusual Suit for Sick Benefits. The celebrated shoelatch case of Frank Emerson King against the Travelers’ Pro- tective Assoctation went to trial Friday in Judge Valliant’s courtroom before Judge Reuben F. Roy, who is sitting for Judge Valliant. Mr. King was a member of the Travelers’ Protective Association in good standing in August, 1895, and claims he waa entitled to all the privileges of membership, one of which was insurance against accidents of all kinds not caused by the culpable neg- lect of the member. At that time he says he bought a pai? of shoes, much like the shoes he was in the habit of buying, and that while wearing them one of the eyelets or latches became loose and scratched and abraded hia ankle so that an abscess was formed which be- came s0 severe that he was compelled to , bathe up all work and have a gerjous and ange rous operation performed. je asked the protective association to pay e... sick benefits he was entitled to, but the association refused to do so. Mr. King then filed his sult for $1%, the amount he thinks he should have received. The suit, involvfig a matter of principle on both sides, is being bitterly fought by the contending parties.

Never Again Will the Veteran Have Anything to Do With the National Game. a The information comes from Chicago that Anson, of that city, has retired from the game for good. Indeed, it is said that the failure to land heart and that from this forward he will Shun the national game as though it were a pest. It was on last Wednesday night that An- Son, after two months of fruitless efforts to raise enough money to purchase the Chicago Baseball Club, at last gave up the attempt, and, in all probability, the team will now remain under the present management until the expiration of the National League’s lease of life, four years hence, Anson lays the blame of the fallure to two causes: The opposition of the manage- ment and the war scare. When seen at his home last night he had this to say: “I have given up the idea of securing the Chicago Baseball Club, for the present at least. The war with Spain, coupled with the opposition of the present management, has, worked against me. The war scare in itseLt--would have been bad enough, but even “at that I might have won out if the management had not opposed me. Two months ago they gave me the option on the team, but they did it under protest and put barriers in my way of securing the money every chance they had. In the evening I would see some capitaHst and he would agree to furnish me with the neces- Sary money. In the morning the same man would be entirely changed. The only way I can account for this change would be the fact that he had been tampered with by the people who did not waht to see me own the club. The two months I had was more than sufficient under ordinary circum. Stances. After I had become thoroughly convinced the present management did not want to see me in possession I gave up the idea. I do not know just what I will do hag business I will enter into in the THE COLLEGE ATHLETES. Notre Dame Will Not Be Admitted to the Western Association CHICAGO, April 15.—The graduate ex- ecutive committee of the Western Collegiate Athletic Association met to- day and can- vassed the vote of the association upon the new constitution and the application for me miberanis of Knox and Notre Dame. The constitution, with the exception of the sec- tion forbidding the competition of the pre- paratory students in championship events, was carried. Fourteen institutions had a vote and a two-thirds vote is necessary to carry, being ten votes. Eleyen votes were cast, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Stanford alow the limit of 30 days to expire wth- out voting. Yankton, Drake, Grinnell and Depauw voted against the prohib:tion of the ‘‘Preps.”’” Notre Dame will not be ad- mitted this year, Michigan, Illinois, North- western and Lake Forest casting negative votes. Knox received only one negative vote, that from Michigan, and is admitted. No action was taken regarding the selec- tion of a field for the annual games. Sey- eral sites are under consideration. —_—__@—_—_——_ HANLON’S WAR CLOTHES. Still Has Them on and Now Going to Fight Western Union. Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores, hav- ing settled the strike of his players is now going to war with the Western Union Tele- graph Co. Hanlon demands the sum of $500 from the telegraph company for the accommodation it receives at Union Park, The company has declined to accept Mr. Hanlon’s terms and it is going ahead to look out for its own interests. The com- pany says it will get full information of every move eh the fleld as freely as here- tofore. Hanlon said: ‘Il will fight this thing out if it takes all summer. I will erect slats to shut out the view from any house which the company may rent, and if it builds an observatory on the roof § uess I can go as high as it. Chicago, uisville and one other Western city have not come to terms with the telegraph company, and the omy. way we can protect our interests is to fe t.’ THE FIERCE CHICAGOANS. Donahue Tells Why Griffith and Friend Want to Fight. Anent the report that Griffith and Friend had deserted the Chicagos because of love of country and hatred for the Spaniards, there is another story of ‘‘no love _§ for Spain” in the ranks of the Chicago team. A Windy City exch ange quotes Tim Donohue as saying: “Speaking of war, Everitt and Decker are wild to go ‘and fight the Span- ish. Everitt once ate a Spanish stew and a pepper pod stuck in his teeth, giving him a hostile feeling to the whole Spanish na- tion. Decker’s reasons are different. He ot into a poker game with a Spaniard at pe Angeles and lost $67.45. When the game was over he turned his head and there stood a Spaniard behind him with a look- ing glass, tipping every card Deck had to the other Don. Why didn't he turn before? Because that Castilian would have held four aces and a jack before he could have turned again.’"’ Donohue ts considered the official comedian of the Chicago Club, so that ~y story may be taken with a bushel of salt. FOR A CHEAP CONCERN. That Is What Jimmy Michael Now Threatens to Ride For. Jimmy Michael, the cycle king, will likely season when he etraddles the wheel of a $25 convern. Manager Dave Schaeffer, who is in a large measure responsible for Mi- chaels success, is not yet ready to make a positive announcement to this effect, but it is reasonably certain that Michae)] will ride a $25 wheel. Schaeffer admits this and says he would rather ride the make o a cheap firm for a few thousand dollars lees than he could get from the 6o-called “high grade’’ manufacturers. Schaeffer also adds that “Jimmy Michael ao never be a jockey the longest day he lives. THE GLOBES REORGANIZED.

President Robert Aull of the St. Louis Fair Association, like all other true turfmen, is glad to see Washington Park opening its s again. on Ayr ncn that the opening of Chicago's fashionable race course will give racing & boom all over the West and that instead of affecting the St. Louis meeting in any way it will help it. Although the St. Louis meeting does not open until Saturday, May 14, or four weeks from to-morrow, the stables at the Fair Grounds are filling rapidly and to accommo- date the stake horses goming here the Fair Association will have to put up new stables. Never before in the history of the turf have there been so many horses as this year. At Memphis hundreds were turned away from k on account of lack of stable room and the same conditions prevailed at Nash- ville. At St. Louls an attempt will be made to take care of all comers.

The Reason Why the Champion Club Must Buy Its Own Flag. There used to be a custom in League councils to set aside each year $100 to be de- voted to the purchase of a guitable pennant for the champion club, and the habit of paying this money over direct to the club owners. so that they could purchase the flag themselves, prevailed until a discovery was made that stopped the whole business, says the New York Sun. It seems that a certain club bad won the pennant two years in succession. After Spe, Or first victory the owners of the Ban rn ook $100 from the League ht a guper pennant on which the year ° the triumph was made to appear in large white numerals on a field of red. When the second championship had been won another $100 paid over by the League for another pennant, but this time economy ruled.

LOUIS RESERVES. __ - St. Louis Has an Opportunity to Demon- strate Her Patriotism and Her Solidity. is A Speedy Craft Can Be Secured for a Few Thousand Do!- lars, Manned Oy Our Citi- zens and Turned Over to the Government to Be Named the St. Louis. The Ellide, the Fastest Boat i Can Be Secured, and the Post-Dispatch Has a List of Fifty Others. i. St. Louis may have a warship of its own, bearing its own proud name and manned by its own Naval Reserves. The only condition precedent is a few thousand dollars in money, to represent the business solidity and the patriotism of this greatest city of the Mississippi Valley. War with Spain is considered to be an established fact. St. Isouis, remote from seaports, has yet a stupendous interest in the progress and result of hostilities. This city will be the base for the concentration of supplies. Here will gather the armies of the West on their way to the scene of action. Here live more than a hundred thousand men anxious to fight for the honor and protection of their country, if only permitted the upportunity, to say nothing of the loyal women. A proposition has been made by the Post-Dispatch to buy a fast-going ship, name. it the St. Louis, man it with the St. Louis Naval Reserves, and turn it over to the Government of the United States as a contribution from the patriotic people chis city to the success of the country’s cause. if tated S The broad and generous wealth of this town, moved by a loyalty which has thus far sought unavailingly for pronounced means of expression, can bring the sugges- tion to an immediate finality. Through liberal use of the telegraph the Post-Dispatch has ascertained that there are between 50 and 100 vessels available for the purpose named, and that the largest cash price demanded is but $60,000. The ship that is being most favorably inquired into will cost much less and can be now purchased. It is the Ellide, now lying at Nyack, near the city of Philadelphia. The Ellide is a composite boat, with steel hull and double mahogany planking, and has a record of 40 miles an hour. It is unquestionably the fastest craft ever built and would be gladly received by the Government, to be used as a dispatch boat for the fleet. It was designed by Charles D. Mosher of New York, and launched one year ago at Nyack. It is 80 feet-long, 8 feet and 4 inches beam and 3 feet 6 inches draft. inches draft. } The Ellide, if bought soon, can be obtained at a reasonable price, and the indica- tions are that the business and patriotic wealthy men of St. Louis will band together and buy the vessel outright, handing it over to the Government with the one request, that it be manned by the St, Louis Naval Reserves. The reserves are as fine a body of naval militiamen as can be had anywhere outside of an actual seaport. With their appearance in the midst of actual hostilities the great Western country, of which St. Louis is the metropolis, would be represented. | The movement is one which appeals to the business sense, as well as the gen- erous loyalty, of citizens. It means a chance to show the world that the substantial finances of St. Louis are patriotic and that the people of this city are first in war as well as in peace. 3 ; The reserves are ready, the ship is riding idly at anchor in a Philadelphia harbor, and the money needed to put St. Louis on the high seas as foremost in necessary hostilities is at hand. The Post-Dispatch may be relied upon to do its share toward effecting a combination of the materials named, so that the glory and the fidelity of St. Louis shall be made manifest. Mae BE HOW THE ST: LOUIS NAVAL | RESERVES WERE ORGANIZED. military training, the result of the initial drill was highly encouraging. Officers of the militia who looked from the balcony overlooking the drill fleld ap- preciated the difficulty of handling an “awkward squad’ of more than 100 men. Before the drill had progressed far the on- lookers’ patronizing half:‘interest developed |into genuine enthusiasm. It was said at the Armory that night that the company was the most promising formed th¢re in years. The battalion has grown steadily both in numbers and efficiency. In an incredibly short time it has de- veloped from an organization of raw re- cruits into a well-officered military body which is an honor to St. Louis. Drills are held twice a week, on Tuesda and Friday nights. The men are now well trained in the elementary infantry tactics and have besides a knowledge of naval matters that is surprising. Capt. Hunicke's energy and efficiency have made it possi- ble to give them a better knowledge of ship craft than many students at Annapo- lis obtain in twice the length of time. The officers’ school is a feature of the routine of the battalion and the most apt of the members are fast fitting themselves for something more than privates. Those who Saw the Naval Reserves at the recent military exhibition in the Coli- seum know that they have progressed won- derfully in their military training. Chis fitness of the men, this ability which will make them an honor to St. Louis Wherever they go is of course largely due to their inherent intelligence and apiness, but these qualities would have lain dormant had it not been for the excellent training given them by the officers. Capt. Hunicke, the commander, is a host in himself. Besides having a thorough knowledge of naval tactics and requlre- ments he has the even rarer faculty of im- parting the knowledge to others. He is a well-known merchant of St. Louis, and the time he spends in furthering the interests of the reserves is stolen from What would otherwise be his leisure hours. He is none the less a good business man because he realizes that he owes a debt of patriotism to his country. Capt. Hunicke took the full course at Annapolis, and after being graduated served as ensign. Later he was for twa years flag officer on the staff of Rear Admiral Bunce, Commander of the South Atlantic squadron, He resigned from the service to go into business tn St. Louis. Capt. Hunicke has an efficient aide in the erson of Lieutenant-Commander W. -P. synn. Lieut. Lynn is a West Pointer. He was offered a maforship in the nation: cuert. na eecined the honor.

Batdorf for permis- gion to equip and organize as @ company of the First Regiment, which he commands. As there was no provision in the statutes for a naval militia this could not be done. The only course remaining was to ask for admission to the regular naval forces of the United States. This request was made to the Department of the Navy. Secretary ‘Long expressed the department's willing- ness to accept the battalion's services and equip the men, but there was an obstacle in the way that could not then be overcome, Under the Federal laws the Navy Depart- ment cannot recognize a company of re- serves unless at least one of the number fs a graduate of the Government Naval Acad- emy at Annapolis. None of the original applicants were so qualified and efforts were suspended temporarily. In January, 1897, the project was given & new impetus by the accesion of Capt. F. HW. Hunicke, who was induced by Col. Bat- dorf to take up the work where it had been abandoned. In more ways than one the co- operation of Capt. Hunicke was the one thing needful to assure the success of the project. He was not only an Annapolis graduate, but he had been in actual service and wae both in rank and experience quall- fied to command a ship if called upon to ' do 60. Barly in January Capt. Hunicke attended the annual meeting of officers of the Na- tional Guard of Missouri of Jefferson City and laid before Gov. Stephens and Adjutant- General Bell his plan for the formation of a naval battalion. Roth the Governor and the Adjutant-Gen- eral gave him assurances that they were thoroughly in accord with the plan. There was stil] the difficulty that the statute made no provision for naval militia, but it Was suggested that the battalion organize temporarily as an independent organiza- tion, with the right to drill without arms until a bill admitting them to State service could be passed: On this basis Capt. Hunicke p~vent to work with a will. At the first meeting held at his call in the Armory building there was a good attendance of sturdy, earnest young men. A recruiting Iist was opened at once, On the first night there were 580 signers. From the first the Naval Reserves were mot intended to be a body of display soldiers. Complications with Spain were even then arising, and Capt. Hunicke made it clear to the men that they might expect to be called into active service at any time. Thore not willing to serve with @ual Sehliin peace and war were not wanted, Pew held back on this account, and those who hesitated were not importuned, The result was a company of the best possible material. aymaster, is one A.

WOMAN. — Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope. Examination by & male physician is a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She puts it off as long as she dare, and is only driven to it by fear of can- cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill. Most frequently such a woman leaves. a physician’s office where she has un- dergone a critical examination with animpression,more or less, of discour- agement. This condi- tion of the mind destroys the effect of advice; and she grows pt tol worse rather than better, In consulting Mrs. Pink- ham no hesitation need be felt, the story is told to a woman and is wholiy confidential, Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women her advice .vithout charge. Her intimate knowledge of women's troubles makes her letter of advice a wellspring of hope, and her wide experi- ence and skill point the way to health. ‘‘T suffered witht Ovarian trouble for seven years, and no doctor knew what was the matter with me.

These are two great men. One is Prof. Lewis Swift, the astronomer, who has discovered more comets than any man who ever lived before upon the earth. The other is Prof. 8. A. Lattimore, Vice- President of the University of Rochester, Professor of Chemistry and Analyst of Foods and Medicines of the New York State Board of Health. Both these great men are careful ob- servers and deeply interested in every- thing that can in any way help people to longer life and more happiness. Hence it comes that after careful observation they unhesitatingly indorse a popular preparation. Professor Lattimore says: “I know the formula of Warner’s Safe Cure. I have investigated the processes of its manufacture, which are conducted with extreme care and according to the best methods. I have taken from the laboratory samples of |all the articles used in the preparation of Safe Cure, as well as the medicine into which they en- Professor Swift, in conversation, said: “I have known of Warner's Safe Cure for years, and I know of what great help it has been to large numbers of people who have used it. Many of these persons have felt that they cannot do without it. These things prove that it undoubtedly merits the high confidence it enjoys.” Take the advice of the best and most reliable people. Use only that which has been tested thoroughly and indorsed by the highest authorities in the land. Warner's Safe Cure stands upon a plane by itself. It is in every sense scientifically supe- rior. It cures the acids and rheums which are in the blood of every person after going through the strain of a winter. How? By driving these poisons from the body through the kidneys.

ASSOCIATION MEETS OPPOSITION, HIS APPOINTMENT IGNORED. Old Board Claims Their Assignment Takes Precedence of the Recelvership. The troubles of the North Pnd Bullding and @.oan Association have just begun. Mark R. Chartrand, the receiver appointed by Judge Talty, has taken charge and pos- session of all the assets, getting thern from Secretary James McCallum and giving a receipt therefor. His bond of $50,000 ts on file in the Cir- cuit Clerk’s office, and he would be in full and undisputed possession of it were it not for the fact that the other board has made an assignment of all the assets to Attorney H, A. Loevy, who has in turn filed a bond of $75,000 with Judge Reuben F. Roy, who ig sitting for Judge Valliant in Courtroom No. 6. Mr. Loevy ts backed by a large number of stockholders of the association, and is going to fight the case to the bitter end. Mr. Loovy, in talking about the case, said: “I hold the title to all the assets of the North End Building and Loan Association by virtue of the assigmment made by the defacto board of directors. The assignment was made before Judge Russell filed his application for a receiver. Under his claim that no one but the State Supervisor can apply for a receiver our assignment has precedence beeause {ft was made just after the Drew application was filed and before the Russell one, ‘‘There are only two 4ecisions on the re- ceivership question, both Pennsylvania cases. The first decision is against the as- signment question, and the second, which overrules it, is that an assignment can be made. We propose to go ahead and insisi upon our rights In the case.” The two boards will continue the fight until somebody gets knocked clean out. The old board claims to be In authority and so does the new one. Neither side will yield ee 8 Queene an inch, and as soon as Receiver Chartrand )rector, was the only It checks neuralgia and rheumatism by destroying the uric acid which causes It keeps you fn good health ! makes any alléwances the fight will be brought to an tssue before Judge Talty.

For 20 years St. Louls has filled a position in the shipping world without representation on the railroad maps. The majority of the heavy shippers of St, Louls have decided to concentrate their in- fluence and make St. Louis a basing point for ~ railroad freight rates of the Mississippi ‘alley. The shippers of Sta# Lonis only ask of the railroads entering St. Louis and seeking St. Louls busivess the game justice that those same railroads do for all other cities on their lines; that is, to issde St. Louis bills of lad- ing at St. Louls rates of freight. For 20 years the press of St. Louis has pre- sented various modes of securing the above re- sult. The people of St. Louls have agitated various methods to accomplish the same result, Two years ago the St. Louis Mahufacturerg’ Association instructed. its Traffic Committee to roceed with the work, until completed, of bay- ng the bridge arbitrary and transfer charges of St. Louis treated as .a traffic expense, and to secure for St. Louis St. Louis bills of lading, with through rates of freight. On March 20 the Traffic Committee of the St. Iouls Manufacturers’, Association made a fe- port, including what dad been done wp to that date. The report wag adopted unanimously by the association and ordered printed in pamphlet form for distribution among the shippers. The report gives instructions how to secure St. Louis bills of lading, how te secure St. Louls rates of freight and how .,to place. St. Louis com- merce on a competitiverbasis with the commerce of other cities. That) report is now ‘ready for distribution upon request of shippers. On that date the following railroads had au- thorized the committee to say that they would issue St. Louis bills of lading: Louisville & Nashville, Missouri Pacific, Vandalia Line. Iron Mountain, Cumberland Gap Dispatch, Clover Leaf, Bluff Line, Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the Frisco. Since that date the Mobile & Ohio, Illinois Central and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy have autborized the Traffic Committee to in- clude thoSe roads in°the list of roads willing to issue St. Louis bills of lading. The adoption and use, on the part of St. Louis shippers, of St. Louts bills of lading is the only method that can accomplish the ab- sorption of the bridge arbitrary and the trans- fer charges. The brightest railroad men in the city eoncede that point, and by knowing such to be the case many of the railroads have up to this time refused to iasne-St. Louis bills of “yar to the territory east of the Mississippi tiver. That you mag aid in free'ng the commerce of St. Louis to all that territory east of the Mis- sissippi River from the embargo that bas so long rested upon it, be stire when routing sbip- ments over any road that you demand St, Louis bills of lading to all points on all reads, and make such a demand a condition of patronage to any point on any road. Route your goods by those reads that issue St. Louis bills of lading and when necessary to route by a road not is- suing St. Louis bills of lading use your best efforts to induce that road to do as the major- ity of the other roads are now doing—Iisaue St. Louis bills of lading % all commerce, J.

Mr. Joseph Franklin presided at a meeting of the Joint Citizens’ Committee on the mu- following notice concerning “the bridge ar-f cago is Miles J. Devine. The number of verdicts that he has won for the city has never been geurpassed by any city attorney in the history of Chicago. Aside from his official position, Mr. Devine is chairman of the executive committee of the Cook Coun- ty Democracy. Mr. Devine’s implicit confi- dence in Paine’s celery compound is made public in the fallowing letter: City of Chicago, March 6, 1898, ce of City Attorney. Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.: Gentlemen—I desire to add my testimony to that of others in return for the benefit received from the use of Paine'’s celery compound. My attention was first called to. the efficacy of the remiedy by a friend of mine residing in one of the suburps of Chi- cago. For years he had been a totaPr wreck physically. Paine’s celery com- pound was recommended to him by a o eS . The chief legal adviser of the city of Chi- | friend, and he used it for about two years, with the most wonderful results I have ever seen from a proprietary medicine. He is now as strong and healthy, both in ap- pearance and in fact, as any man. I con- a his recovery nothing short of a mir- acle, Some time after noticing the effects in this case I felt the need of a tonic. After a season of vigorous campaigning and close attention to legal duties in the courte I was run down and felt generally disqualt- fied for work of any description; : 1 took two bottles of Paine’s celery compound, and from the first dose began to so better, It has helped me wonderfully, a cah cheer- fully recommend its ise to an¥Y one.’ Re- spectfully MILES J. DEVINE. Neuralgia and rheumatism are to-day dis- tinetly curable, Paine’s celer¥ compound has made it pos- sible to get rid of rheumatism and neoral- a ee gia, as it does sleeplessness, melancholy. —— a see anne. cod 7 e ie a ] = = > id (ie x. eg mer * S ee T= m ee * — a iy - i eee bee ie al : } ~ ; 4 ie es ? ee Ss . 3 ila ely ag Nes “ee ae ? = a ee tf » Be Fs ee Se TS ene i eg a Tee a cae 5 Ty x Rey, i; Lt sit’ Re a at Re ; . ss Se: » ty Tees aos sare Seed ta SD PBs. dg - CEE ah et a el Rg ee eon i j APO ‘ : ie at 4 ; % ae - ose wy) ee ee ea "ig ee ME tee tr Edt oe : Tota 2 Dey oy x . ‘ is be 5 ch be A wT > ae ; ns ye i Sa Pe el aS , tiaks : ny Kor noe Mle ot fe es Pa SS ~ > “Sites Th ye nis PR : ae ‘ ~ * . et a > ee eae, * ae LE > eae & “ - é 3 4 ¢. s - 7 x ed , Ve, oes le a : ne J at i!

S Regt Mr. Henry Hitchcock introduced the follow- ing resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas, During more than two months past the question of amending the Charter of St. Louts by introducing the merit system of ap- pointments has been widely and publicly dis- cussed among its citizens and in the public press, and petitions asking for the submission of such an amendment to popular vote, signed by thousands of voters and taxpayers repre- senting all interests and classes of the com- munity bave been urgently brought to the notice of the Municipal Assembly. And Whereas, At the meeting of the Council on April 5, 1898, at which the question o Charter amendmente was under consideration, Mr. Halsey C. Ives, a member of the Council, moved toe include among the Charter amend- ments to be submitted to the people of this city an amendmens such as prayed for in said wetitions; ' And whereas, Said motion, although supported by the affirmative votes of President Meier and Councilmen Horton, Ives and Wiggins, was de- fented and said amendment finally rejected by ® negative votes, namely those of Messrs. Brinkmeyer, Carroll, Gast, Gaus, Hagan, Heckel, Kratz, Thuner and Uthoff, who by such yote réfused to allow the citizens of St. Louis even the privilege of voting upon the question of so amending their — Charter; Resolved, That this joint committee of Citt- zens composed of delegates from 25 associations and clubs, representing many thousand voters and taxpayers of this city, does hereby protest against and condemn the action of those nine Counciimen as a deliberative denial to the citi- gone of St. Louis of the right of home rule, intended to be secured to them by the Oonstitu- tion of this State; and further, tesolved, That the question thus presented to the citizens of St. Louls is not whether the merit system ought te be adopted, bat whether they will permit their public servants to de- prive them of their unquestioned constitutional rights by denying to them even the opportunity of expressing thelr opinion whether the organic law of the eity should be amended io a manner which thousands of them believe necessary to secure the honest and economical administra- tion of its affairs: and further, itesolved, That in the judgment of this com mittee so fagrant a denial of the constitutl right of the people of this city to frameand amend its organic law should be promptly and emphatically rebuked; and to that end, that nn- less the charter amendments bow under con- sideration by the Municipal Assembly shall in- clude an amendment honestly and effectively Lur.irg the | providiag for the Introduction of the merit sys tem of appointments, all amendments p hy said assembly ought to be voted down, both as the only effective means of asserting that right and also because the amendments ap- proved by the Council at said meeting contem- plate the expenditure of enormous sums of money, to be raised by taxation, giving oppor- tunities for political patronage, extravagance and corruption, against which the merit system affords the best possible safeguard. Resolved, That this committee cordially re- cognizes the public spirit and courage shown by the four members of the Counct] who supported said amendment and compelled its opponents to put themselves on record against it.

TURNED AGAINST MRS. AMELIA SACHS PREFERS DEATH TO THE UNFILIAL CONDUCT OF HER SON. A STRANGER TO A KIND WORD. 4 Feeling Herself a Burden on Those Who Should Have Loved Her, She Tries to Drown Herself. The struggle of life proved too bitter for Mrs. Amelia Sachs, and Thursday after- noon, suffering from the cruel treatment MRS. AMELIA SACHS. that she says she received from those who should have loved and comforted her, she cast herself into the lake at Hyde Park and attempted to drown herself. She was res- cued by the park-keeper and now finds a temporary home at the City Hospital. Mrs. Sachs is a widow, 73 years old. She is German and cannot speak a word of En- lish. Lying back helpless on her cot she ts ndeed an object of pity. Her face is wrinkled, but kindly and when Dr. Sutter went to her side and spoke gentiy to her, the tears started to her dimmed eyes, and in @ quavering voice she told her story. “T wanted to die because I was woree than all alone in the world,” she said. “For six weeks m Oo mre on when she would scoid me for be- daughier-in-law has not spokent us is to, Include code, manufacturers brane ot ine baat gor np eS 2 ae Re ses ae ¢" temas 2° A Tah Zi Fe ee a2 others have returned to the old country. “For «ix years I have lived with my son Franz and his wife Mary.

They taught the children to abuse their grandmother. Franz lives at 3931 North Twenty-second street and works in the Niedringhaus mills. “IT am sorry that I was not ‘allowed to drown. There ia no place for me to go. I will not be a burden any longer to Franz and Mary, and there is no place for me to go. Late Thursday afternoon the old oon en- tered Hyde Park and slowly approac ~ the small lake. he waiked slowly into the water, and though It waa icy cold, she never paused. The water was so shallow that she walked twenty feet before she reached any depth. Then she sank down and the water closed over her. Peter Gundlach, the park keeper, saw a moment before she sank and divining her intent he plunged into the water and car- ried her to the shore. She Was taken to a place of shelter and dry clothing wrapped about her. Then she was forwarded to the City Hospital. Dr. Sutter says she will suffer but slight tnconvenience from her cold bath. IT CATCHES THE MULTITUDE. Indoor Circus Continues to Show to Thousands Twice Daily. The great indoor circus has made a last- ing hit with the St. Louls public. The nov- elty of the thing is an attraction, but what holds the big crowds and sends them away thoroughly satisfied ts the excellent merit of the entertainment. The Messrs. Ringling have scored a great triumph, and it ts one that is entirely merited. The smallest detail is not over- looked, every possible want of the patrons being cleverly anticipated. The high-wtre act of Herr Grenada and wife is always received with the grea'est enthusiasm. She stands on her husband's shoulders while a fire-wheel beneath them sends up a shower of eparks. The female ac- robats of the Foy family are another of the 100 star attractions the circus offers A gratifying feature i# the new and brightness of the uniforms and coslumes.

Hayes Has Left Him in Possession of the Parochial Residence. The latest development in St. Patrick’s | Parish trouble is the removal of Father | Robert 8S. Hayes, administrator, to the resi- ' dence of Mrs. James B. Haggerty, 1126 North Sixth street. He will remain there until the case against Father Tuohy 1s settled, and the latter will continue in possession of the old parochial residence, Father Hayes’ action was taken, it is said, be the instance of the Archbishop because of the strained relations existing between i ‘imself and Father Tuohy. Judge Klein’s eceptance of Father Tuohy’s bond holding Sim personally responsible for any damage to the parish property is an added reason 3 the change. Father Tuohy will not, however, attempt to resume his priestly functions nor inany wise perform the duties of his sacred calling. Bt. Patrick’s Board of Trustees called upon Father Tuohy Thursday evening and requested him to submit an accounting of parish runds during his administration. The request was deri and as a result the mat- ter will now be placed in the hands of a lawyer for such action as he may advise. A mysterious robbery is reported to have occurred at the parochial residence. Father Hayes says his room was entered, the lock on his desk broken apen and $44.60 in cash stolen. Investigation has fatled to reveal any clew and the police will be notified, MORE OF THOSE BOYS’ SUITS FOR $2.50, WORTH §5. Sizes 4 to 15.

LONDON, April 15.~—A dispatch to the Daily News from Vienna says that Sczepa- nik, the inventor, and his financial part- ‘ner, Kliienberg, have gone to Lenberg to negotiate for the purchase of an invention of an electrician named Rychnowski, who claims to have discovered “electric fluid.” He calls it electrod. It is identical with electricity. It is stated ahat it produces light, causes Geissler tubes to show fluor- escent rays, rotates objects in the air, pro- duces whirlpools in water, kills bacteria and performs other wonders.

[GHOST OF FRED STAHL HOW IT APPEARED TO THE “BIG CHIEF” OF THE SOUTH SIDE SPORTING CLUB. HENRY ACKERMAN FAINTED. Tony Stuever Tells of Stahl’s Suicide With Tears, Collects Money for Flowers, Then Dead Appears. “Poor Fred Stahl. He’s dead. Shot him- self this morning. It’s too bad.’’ The speaker was Tony Stuever and tears rolled down his cheeks, as he bemoaned the untimely fate of his old friend. His audience was composed of the mem- bers of the South Side Sporting Club, of which Mr. Stuever is Treasurer and Mr. Stahl a member. They had met in regular session at Michanfelder’s saloon, 202% South Broadway. “Now, boys,” continued Mr. Stuever, In tremulous tones, and trying very hard to master this feelings, “we must give him a good send off. Let’s all chip in and buy a handsome floral des.gn, and we'll hire car- riages and all go to the funeral of our dear departed brother,’’ and Mr, Stuever wiped his eyes. The “boys” responded handsomely. Stahl was a jolly good fellow and everybody liked bike. Mr. Stuever passed the hat, and when he had completed the round he had $75, besides which he said he had collected $116 pracioualy from sympathetic frien@s. Stuever expressed his appreciatign of the "wenetosity shown by the “boys” } and then delivered a touching eulogy on ‘his friend. ‘‘Poor fellow,”’ he said, “‘it nearly breaks my heart to think about his sad end,’’ and he paused to wipe away the fast gathering tears. ‘‘But yesterday I saw him, well, hearty, in good spirits, to be cut down by his own hand a few hours later. ‘Man that is born of woman itis of few days and ful] of trouble; to-day he flourishes and to-morrow he is cut down like the grass of the field.” That is what the good book Says, or something ike that. Boys, I don’t often quote scripture, but in a time like thig our own language does not seem to fill the bill.”’ Here Mr. Stuever’s emotion overcame him — ain, but rere himself, he continued: and were like brothers, and his loss ts Ne tf one of close kin had been taken from me. He must have been tem- porarily insane, ag fellow. Surely he had no reason to seek death. I remember now that when we parted last night he pressed my hand hard and with a far away look in his eyes, said ‘Good-by, Tony, good- by, old fellow, good-by,’ repeating the ‘weed by’ three times. Poor c ap, he knew then what he was going to do’’—and Mr. Stuever broke down compa ey - Sobs shook his frame and tears fell like rain. Many of his hear- ers were similarly affected. Henry Ackerman, who, as president of the club, is known as the “Big Chief,” then addressed the members. “Boys,”’ he said, “we must do the proper thing. It will be in order. to appoint a com- mittee and pass resolutions, and all that sort of thing. Poor Fred, he was my friend as well as a brother member of this club. I can see him now——” Mr, Ackerman stopped, stared at the door with ewes bulgin with terror, and sank limp into his.chair in a dead faint. “I can see h ed “ little bit, but Ackerman thought he had called up a ghost sure. When the other members saw Stahl there was wild confusion. Mr. Stahl was amazed at the excitement his presence caused. After the cofifusion had subsided Mr. Stuever was called on for an explanation. It was forthcoming promptly and cheerful- ly. He had simply been having fun with his brother clkub-members, on whom, he de- clared, were the drinks, The money subscribed was returned, and the funeral arrangements and the appoint. ment of a comm ee on resolutions were indefinitely post The remerkante fe Feature of Mr. Stuever’s prank, and wh made it so highly suc- cessful was he fact that the tears he shed were real, briny tears. and no base imita- tion.
