Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. (Message sent from Madrid privately across the Spanish frontier to the most accessible telegraph station in neutral territory.) MADRID, Spain, Friday Night, April 22.—The soldiers and statesmen callled to give counsel have urged the Queen Regent to try to form some European alliance at any cost. These advisers believe it feasible, in view of the attitude of France and Russia, and because Germany is supposed to have held back Austria and Italy. The Queen Regent listened silently to this advice, though she is known to be much inclined to the idea of an alliance if it could bring about prompt results. Frequent communications are again passing between Madrid and the Conti- nental Courts and Cabinets. The newspapers are very incredulous about securing European aid and valiantly advise the nation to fight her battles alone. They complain that Spain has to thank the Powers for having forced from her the last humiliating concession, the perfectly useless suspension of hostilities in Cuba that ended in a rupture with the United States. It is rumored again to-day that contracts have been made for the purchase of three ironclads in Austria and Italy. Hts Should Admiral Bermejo, the Minister of Marine, retire he will assume com- “mand of the large ficet assemiling at Cadiz, and Admiral Churruca has been called from Cadiz to be the new Minister of Marine. : The military preparations are not on an extensive scale so far. Nearly 25,000 men of the reserves have been called out. Many ports of the peninsula have only laid ' submarine defenses withih the last 24 hours. All eyes are turned toward Cuba and the Cape Verde fleet. is differently regarded by the triends and the adversaries of the ministry. Sagasta’s Opponents believe it is a necessary result of the Queen’s consultation with public men who must have advised her to cast off the least popular members of her Gov- érnment, especially the Colonial Minister, Moret. Senor Moret’s house has to be guarded by police on foot and #n horseback. His conciliating views and his Cuban home rule and free trade inclinations are deemed a dead failure by most Spaniards, who only submitted to such measures in the hope of averting American intervention. Sagasta proposed the consultation with the opposition leaders and generals as &@ means of preparing to let some of his colleagues fall easily if it was thought advis- ~ able to turn them out or, if it was not so decided, to make it possible for the Lib- - erals to say that they had remained in office with the assent of the Queen because ‘nobody cared to take up the reins of government at such a moment. The Government has determined to tolerate strect demonstrations in order to let off patriotic steam and to make the authorities more popular, especially in Madrid. The most remarkable irritation is shown in all ranks of society against England. The spirit of the Spaniards is inflamed by the newspapers publishing tales of past > wtnsuccessful attempts on sea and land to seize Porto Rico and Cuba as an excellent s ilustration of the fate awaiting like American expeditions. But great uneasiness and "apprehension exists behind this bold face. On account of the necessity of keeping up communications with Cuba and Porto Rico the Government says the mail steamers will continue to go out. But few passengers are engaging berths. NOT SO MANY ASK FOR HIGH ARMY OFFICE AS EXPECTED. Bpecial to the Post-Diepatch. WASHINGTON, April 23.—Although there are 15 major generals and 45 brigadier Benerals to be appointed, it Is remarked that there are very few pronounced candi- dates for these positions. The daily visits of statesmen at the Office of Secretary Alger and Assistant Sec- retary Meiklejohn during the last few days have been tn the interests of applicants for positions in the army, but all have been careful to keep from the public the Mames of those for whom they are working, | President MeKinley and Secretary Alger are anxious to secure as far as possi- ’ dle trained military men. 7 a Among those who have been prominently mentioned are Consul-General Fitzhugh = Lee. to who it is asserted the President has promised a commission, ee Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is also expected to be commissioned at least a brig- “ . Qdier general, and it fs believed that Robert T. Lincoln and Fred Grant will have . €ommissions if they ask for them. Col. Grant is eaid to be anxious to go to the front, - but Lincoln—never. Col. Henry M. Duffield of Detroit Mich., and Maj. George Hopkins, also of Mich- igan, are close personal friends of Secretary Alger, with records as fighters. Their Dames are mentioned among the possible candidates. There has been considerable talk of Gen. Wheeler of Alabama being elated for a high piace in the volunteer army. HAS ALL THE VESSELS NEEDED NEW YORK, April 23.—Quartermaster Kimball of the East Department at Gov- @rnors Island said to-day: “I am in a pou ltion to control a sufficient mumber of ships to transport 100,000 men to Cuba without delay. The arrangements were made with the variqus compenies one week ago. The terms on which the vessels can be had are quite satisfactory. The companies of engineers from Willets Point, with the pontoon trains, wil] arrive here Monday. One train will go with the advance guard of the army of Cuba, the other a Will go with the reserve body of the troops. GERMANY IS SPAIN’S ERIEND.

WATCHWORD OF CITIZEN SOLDIERS. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | KEY WEST, Fla., April 23.—The Government has taken posses- sion of the wires here, and the Havana cable connection has been aban- doned. Press news is censored. The torpedo boat Ericcson has arrived from the fleet. She left Havana atlOa.m. There had then been no bombardment. A peaceful blockade had been established. Every port named in the proclamation of the President has been blockaded. : WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—Secretary Long said to-night that to his knowledge there has been no firing upon the forts at Havana by the North Atlantic squadron. ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP NEW YORK OFF HAVANA, April 23, 9 a. m.—The American fleet is still off Moro Castle. No casualty has oc- curred up to the present time to any of the American vessels and every- thing remains quiet. : KEY WEST, Fla., April 23.—The Spanish schooner Mathilde, cap- tured by torpedo boat Porter, was towed into port by the Associated Press steamer Dauntless this afternoon. : The Dauntless reports that the fleet has been divided. The Nash- ville and Machias, or Castine, sailed for the West at 10 o’clock yesterday morning, while the Amphitrite and Puritan, the Cincinnati and the Castine, or Machias, sailed east later. The rest of the fleet, at 3:30 in the after- noon, were blockading Havana, which is distant ten miles to the south- ward. COLUMBUS, O., April 23.—The entire Ohio National Guard is under waiting orders as the result of the telegram received by Gov. Bushnell from Secretary.Alger that troops will be called Monday. All O. N. G. regi- ments are ordered to report to their armories at 8 a. m. Monday for im- mediate mobilization. TWO SHIPS OF SCHLEY’S FLEET SAIL. FORT MONROE, April 23.—Two ships of the Flying Squadron have put to sea. They are the Columbia and Minneapolis. The “all aboard” gun from the Minneapolis was the signal for great excitement both on shore and on board the ships. Officers notified those ashore to hurry aboard, and everybody professed ignorance of orders so far as destination is concerned. Commodore Schley said to the Associated Press representative: “I cannot divulge the des- tination of the detached vessels. They are going to sea.” Rumor said that the vessels might have a different destination after passing the Capes, at the entrance to this harbor, than merely convoying the transport with troops. It was possible that the two fast ships might go out and meet the Paris, now en route to New York. The last rumor was to the effect that the Minneapolis was to go after the Paris and the Columbia to guard the transport to Key West. / SPAIN WILL NOT COMMISSION PRIVATEERS. MADRID, April 23, 5 p. m.—The Gaceta to-morrow will publish a decree in substance as fol- 1OWS: “First, the Government reserves liberty as to the question of coal being contraband of war. “Second, Spain will not issue letters of marque and will treat all vessels holding letters of marque issued ..y America as pirates and not as privateers.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. LONDON, April 23.—What will be the tactics pursued by the fleets in the Span- ish-American war is still the absorbing question here, It has been greatly intensified by the mystery surrounding the Spanish naval plans, owing to the absolute shutting down of all Spanish sources of information. A special correspondent of the Daily News has just reached Spain. He says the silence of the press on military and naval movements is one of the most striking features of the situation and asks: “Does this silence cover efficient strategy or pur- pose? To the best of my belief the Spaniards have a plan and are attempting te carry it out.” Spain may have a plan but the vital undecided point in the eyes of naval authori- ties is whether she has coal so placed to enable her to execute it. Such evidence as exists seems to indicate that she has not, but expects confessedly without data to enable them to express a deSnite opinion. Commander Crutchley, Secretary of the Navy League expressing his personal view as well as that of other leading authorities with whom he has discussed the subject says: “There is a belief that this will be a war of surprises and that a qncsteiloe mem dictions will be knocked on the head. Nobody, even the most expert, can predict what will likely happen. The-Americans have established a blockade of Havana. | Spain will therefore wait until American ships are in position and then endeavor to direct one powerful squadron against them with the object of going through them in detail.” Whether Spain could successfully accomplish this operation or not, he thought the United States must win in the long run. His general disposition was rather te minimize the lessons to be derived from war. “As neither the Americans nor the Spaniards are expert fighters.” Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton, K. C. B., was approached by the Post- Dispatch correspondent as one of the most eminent naval authorities. He gave me a statement which conveys an idea of the extreme reticence as to the attitude adopted by the naval men here. He says: “Your author, Mark Twain gave very useful ad- vice ‘never prophecy unless you know.’ Another eminent author Moltke writes, ‘It is a fallacy to believe the actual conduct of a campaign can be foreseen. The first collision with an enemy, no matter how it may result creates a fresh position of af- airs. Much which you had intended now appears impracticable, much which before seemed impossible now becomes possible.’ More especially is this the case with new operations. I have formed no theory on the subject or stifled 2” The possibility of an encounter between the Oregon and part of the Spanish fleet is also one of the exciting topics. W. H. Wilson, a naval writer and an expert to whose exertions the foundation of the British Navy League is due says: “It is possible that the Spaniards are after the Oregon. She is not due at Key West before April 27 to May 1. If the Spaniards are moving with this object in view they will run no small risks of losing Porto Rico, if not Cuba in the meantime. The Spanish ships would almost inevitably suffeg severe damage in action with the Oregon and all or most of them might be drives back to Cadiz for repairs and fresh coal.” CALL FOR MISSOURI TROOPS IS NOW EXPECTED MONDAY. : . Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 23.—Great Is the disappointment experienced by all here, for their expectations were that by to-night Gov. Stephens and Adjutant-Gen- eral Bell would have received some orders from President McKinley for Missourt volunteers, but up to a late hour to-night no such orders had been received. It is authoritatively stated that the Governor and the Adjutant-General anticipate a call Monday from the President for 5300 volunteers from Missouri's National Guard. During the past month the National Guard has been quietly, but rapidly augmenting, and at present it numbere 6200, with provisional enlistments, which the Adjutent-Gen- eral has sent out over the entife State, to increase this number to 10,00 within a few days after the President's call is made. In case the call should take all the National Guard force into the regular United States Army and Missouri is left without troops, arrangements have been made for immediately organizing new regiments and drilling them for the eecond call, should it come, The Governor and Adjutant-General desire to supply all troops through National Guard channels thus organizing under State laws and preserving a correct record of all troops sent to the front. Arrangements have been made to deliver promptly suck troops at any point designated by the President. The ranks have been recruiteg largely from members of the National Guard, and all officers are men of experience and ability. Missouri’s army to go to the front Will be a magnificent one, consisting of the First Regiment of St. Lou's; Second Regiment, Carthage; Third Regiment, Kansas City; Fourth Regiment, Springfield; Battery A, St. Louls; Battery B, Kansas Citys Fifth Regiment if necessary from Central Missouri. - 7 TO COMMAND SPAIN’S FLEETS. - |= — MADRID.

After agreeing to the financial programme the Cortes will adjourn until May Senor Moret, the Minister for the Colonlea, declares it is impossible for telegraph communication with Cubs to be interrupted, even if the Key West cable is cut, ag three other cables, protected by the guarantee of the telegraph convention, reach the island.

” £ MEANING OF TH OAL FUR VOLUNTEchS — Orders Which Succeed the President’s De- mand for 125,000 Men Indicate That Early Investment of Cuba Is Intend- “ed and That War May Be Long. eo - , ™ 7 WASHINGTON, April 23.—The President to-day called upon the people of the United. States for the first time in 30 years to mani- fest their martial strength, the call this time being upon a united people to go for- ward to battle with a foreign foe. “The call is for 125,000 men to two years or until discharged. The Secretary of War created army corps. The two facts taken together with other news of to-day showed that the regular army soon’ will move on Cuba and that meanwhile the volunteers will be equipped and drilled. The President’s proclamation, while actually issued was not certified to the Governors of the States and Territories, and will not be until Monday. The formation of a Grand Army Corps in the Department of the South with head- quarters at the three Gulf ports is an evi- dence that the Government is to move upon Cuba at once with the troops of the regu- lar army, leaving the volunters just called for to be disciplined and worked into shape for future use in the campaign. The formal order for the creation of this grand army division issued at the War De- partment at the close of office hours was as follows: Genera] Order No. —. ty direction of the Secretary of War the following orders of the President are pub- lished: 1. The United Siates troops assembled tin fhe Chickamauga National Park will form an encampment to be known as Camp George H,. Thomas, and will constitute, tem- porarily, an army corps, under the com- mand of Major-General John H. The corps will consist of one division of cav- alry, one division of infantry, and one brig- ade of light artillery. The cavalry and in- fantry divisions. will each be composed not more than three brigades, consisting of three or more regiments each. The artillery brigade will be composed of two battalions, each comprising five batteries. The corps commander will assign the senfor officers present for duty with each arm to the com- mand of divisions and brigades. The infantry regiments concentrated at New Orleans, Louisville, Mobile, Ala., serve for a new Brooks. | and Tampa, Fla., are constituted divisions under the command of Brigadier-General William R, Shafter, Brigadier-General John J. Coppinger and Brigadier-General James FE’. Wade, respectively. The Division Commanders will form their divisions into brigades and assign the sen- ior officers present for duty to command them. The people of the District of Columbia will see a great many soldiers the be- ginning of next week. By direction of the President the entire National Guard of the district, 1800 strong, has been ordered into camp Monday morning at tbe Soldiers’ Home, under the command of Brigadier- General Harries. The guard will not be directly in the service of the United States Government, but ‘being in camp, fully equipped and armed, will be in a position for instant service in case of demand. While it is the purpose of the War De- partment to secure only National Guards- men as far as possible under the first call for volunteers, yet in States where there are no National Guards, or where the num- ber falls below the quota stated in the call, the States will be expected to supply voluni- teers regardless of their lack of organiza- tion. In fact this must be done under the law. On the basis of to-day’s call for 125.000 men, the various States and Territories, in- cluding the District of Columbia, will be called upon to supply each the following number of volunteers.

One of the richest harvest fields for the Span- lards on the ocean is found among clipper ships that are cargo carriers be- tween this country, China and the East In- dies. These ships are the finest vessels of their class, most of them built in Maine, and their cargoes are always of the most valuable kind. Many of them ere cngaged in the tea trade. Take for instance the big ship Abner Co- | burn, one of the best of this class. She sailed from Hong Kong on Dee. 4 bound for New York, with little likelihood of her touching at any port during her long voy- Age. With her cargo she would make a prize worth at least $200,000 to the Spaniards, and it is nothing wonderful, therefore, that the Dons are inclined to countenance priv- ateering, when theregare from 60 to 100 of just such prizes now on the high seas. \ Another example of this class is the big cNpper Aryan, which left New York on Jan. 13 bound for San Francisco. is no telling where she may be at this timeg and her owners are naturally anxious over the danger of her being captured and taken to a port where she can be converted into prize money. he Klondike trade {« another big pera have much gold a z. _ 4 : r 5 ‘% ris 8 “at Ay Pe * z 4 a!

They will return to St. Louls this week to investigate what they declare is a conspit- acy, which has a political basis, to defame the character of their dead brother. They have enlisted the aid of the sul- cide’s friends in St. Louis in this task, an they promise to make ij warm for certain persons who they allege have carried theif bitter enmity beyond the grave. The brothers do not deny the part the woman, Mrs. Ferguson, played in the trag- edy of the'r brother's life, but they are anxious to run down and punish the person or persons who brought the scandal to public notice. From Constable Lindsay's tieal friends in St. Louis, they learned that he had an enemy in the ce of a dis- charged employe, and upon their return to St. Louls they will attempt to verify this. The matter has been taken up by the Junior Order of American Mechanics, of which society the dead man was a member, and action was taken last night at a meet- ing of his lodge. Resolutions of respect to the memoory of the suicide were passed. An effort will be made to show that the shortage claimed against Lindsay was not a reality, or at least that he was not re- sponsible for it. ALTON’S NAVAL RESERVES READY.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 23.— The organization into brigades of all the cav- alry regiments of the United States army centered at Chickamauga National Park is now complete. The cavalry of this com- mand is organized as follows: Cavalry division. Col. A. K. Weinold, First Cavalry, com- manding. First brigade: First cavairk, Second cavalry, Third cav- alry. Second brigade: Third cavalry, Sixth cavalry, Ninth cave , alry. The light artillehy and infantry will be brigaded in a later order. By command of Major-Gene ral Brooke. Fully 3000 regular troops are now en- camped at Chickamauga, the number to- day having been almost doubled. 1 he sol- diers arrived fast that it was difficult hardly an hour ol the day passing without two or more long trains coming in. The .work of unloading the trains at the park was rendered doubly difficult by rain, which feil at intervais all day. On this account all drills were sus- pended until Monday. After that time, however, army life will begin in earnest. It is expected by the time that nearly all the regular troops to be located at Chick- amauga will have moved and the infantry, as well as the cavalry and artillery, divid- ed into brigades. Of the infantry, there wili probably be three brigades of three regiments each. Uncertainty as to the ex- act number of regiments to arrive will pre- vent any action in regard to the appoint- ment of commanders unt such time as the troops are actually on the ground. It is ex- pected then that Major-General Crooke will assign the senior colonels as. brigade commanders, and regimental and brigade drills will be had. Pn ee BO a | A TRAVELING TIAN Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the Care of the Health While Traveling. Mr. R. W. Wincherdon, a commercial traveler from Birmingham, whose busi- ness keeps him almost. constantly on the road, relates-in the Sunday News the dangers to health resulting from con- stant change of residence and the way he overcame the usual injurious effects. He says: One thing people traveling can not very well avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become ac- customed to anything, and in a few years or much sooner the average traveling man becomes a hopeless dyspeptic. For several years I suffered more or lesgp from indigestion, sour stomachs, headaches, distaste for food, often no ap- petite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of imperfect digestion. Nearly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for different troubles, and I tried all of them with indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I overheard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had suffered severe- ly from indigestion and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets; I remembered the conversation because it directly interested me; and at | the next town I inquired at the first drug store and bought a package for 50 cents, and fromygthat day to this I have never been without them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a secret patent medi- cine, but composed of vegetable es- | gsences, pure pepsin, fruit salts and Gol- den Seal; being in tablet form they never lose their good qualities like a but are always fresh and ready for use. I carry a box in my pocket continually, and whenever I see any symptoms of in- digestion I take one, also one after each meal, and for a year and a helf I have not lost a day by reason of poor health and can eat anything and relish what I eat: my digestion is absolutely perfect 'as far as I can judge from my feelings, and although there may be other stom- ach medicines just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medi- cine, as they are so convenient, they can be carried in the pocket and used when- ever needed. I believe they are sold by ail druggists at 60 cents, and belleve any one who wil) try them will agree with me, that for In- digestion arid stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are unequaled.

WASHINGTON, April 23.—The House to- | day passed the army reorganization bill at the urgent request of the President Secretary of War, but the Senate did not remain in was expected, and the bill will net go to the President until session as next week, Some fearwas expressed on the Democrat- ic side that the bill might increase the regular army in tiene of peace, but an amendment prepared by Mr. Bailey which removed al] doubt on this score Was ac- cepted by Mr. Hull, and the bill passed by an unanimous vote. The bill reorganizes the army into the three battalion formation and authorizes the 2% regiments of the infantry arm of the serviee to be recruited up to a total of 31,- 00 enlisted men. ment of 10 regiments of the cavalry arm of the seven regiments of the the service to 16,467 men and the engineer battalion of five companies up to 452 listed men including two non commissioned officers; which makes a total for these four arms of the service when at & Maximum strength of 61,010. ny Red of officers® provided for in the bill are: First, 25 Majors as provided in the first section of the bill. a@ permanent addition to the commissioned officers of the regular army.

The bill has been materially modified since it was recommitted by the House 4 fortnight ago. The following tmportant provieo was offered by the committee as an amendment: Provided, that in the event of a call by the President for elther volunteers or the militia of the country the President is au- thorized to accept the quotas of troops of the various States and Territories, includ: ing the District of Columbia as organizes under the laws of the ory ss ate erritories, eluding the District of Columbia. te wan Guciaed to limit debate to half an hour, Mr. Hull explained some fe bill.

An amendment offered by Mr. Balley wa adopted, which prowided that the army the end of the war should be grey to OLDIERS MUST BE HARDENED. = ~~ Gen, Miles Contemplates a Thorough Organization of the Volunteers Before Sending Them Into Action. WASHINGTON, April 23.—The plan of Gen. Nelson A. Miles contemplates @ thorough organization of the volunteer troops before sending them into the field of action. It may be a month before they are sent to Cuba. It is his belief that the troops to be serviceable must first be drilled and har- dened. He wants them to go as soldiers toughened and schooled for action, This plan meets the general approval of army officials. After the call is made upon the States Monday, the Governors will assemble the troops at some camp within the State. In many instances the State encamp- ment grounds will no doubt be selected for rendezvous. In other States, the troops may be assembled at the capitals or at some central point most accessible to the greatest number. As soon as the State troops are concentrated within the respectives States, mus- tering officers, who have already been selected by the War Department, will proceed to the different camps, the Quartermaster’s Department is already looking to the furnishing of all supplies and provisions needed by the men. Their equipment will also be carefully arranged. “They may remain at the State camps a week, and it may be a month before they are sent South,” was the statement made to-day by one in authority. While the volunteers are being concentrated in the various States, the plans of mobilizing them in the South will be fully worked out so that they may be immediately sent to points on the gulf ready for transportation to Cuba as quickly as possible. After they start toward the gulf it may require two weeks or more to establish them im camps there and properly organize them into an army corps. It will be a still greater task to thoroughly organize the volunteer army as a whole than to organize them as a portion of the army, and more time will be consumed. It was stated to-day that the delay in communicating the President's call to the Governors was because of the fact that it is desired that the volunteers shall come in under the provisions of the army organization bill instead of the present laws. Paymaster-General Stanton has requested that 50 additional paymasters be ap- pointed and assigned for duty with the volunteers. This number of additional officers is deemed necessary in order to facilitate the work of paying off the men. The iniormation that sutlers and camp followers are not to be allowed to prey upon the scidiers by charging them enormous prices for such articles as are not in- cluded in their rations meets with the hearty approval of those who will constitute the volunterrs so far as expressions have been heard. They will be able to secure tobacco and such articles at contract prices. Scores of telegrams were received at the office of the Adjutant-General to-day showing that the troops of the several States are ready to move. , rr SPANISH SHIPS MAY LEAVE OUR PORTS, Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 23.—A conference was held at the Executive Mansion to-night by tae President, Secretary Alger and Attorney-General Griggs. Since the issuance Of tle President's proclamation declaring the ports of Cuba blockaded many \ telegrams have been received from collectors of ports asking whether or not they should seize Spanish ships which were in harbor. The matter was referred to At- torney-General Griggs for an opinion and he is said to have reported that it would not be showing the proper spirit to seize ships which have been at anchor in what they considered a friendly port before the issuance of the blockade proclamation, I¢ is not the intention of the Administration to seize this character of crafts and to- night collectors of ports were instructed to permit all Spanish vessels to depart, After leaving however the department will take no further action, even though they should fall im’ » the hands of the fleet.

The Ohio delegation was divided between him and Blaine and Sherman receved only 30 votes. Again in 1888, Sherman’s name was placed before the nominating convention for the »oresidency. On the first ballot he received 229 votes, and on the second M9, being the leading candidate, until to Benjamin Harri- son went the support of the other candl- dates whose names were withdrawn, and for the third time Sherman was defeated for the Presidential nomination Mr. Sherman was born at Lancaster, O., May 10, 1823. His father was aJudge of fhe Supreme Court of that State, who died when John Was 7 years old, leavinga widow and 11 children. The family was scattered, and a cousin of his father’s, named also John Sherinan, took John to his home at Mount Vernon, where he staid four year, going to the district school. When lout 17 years old he went into the law office of his brother, Charles T. Sherman, and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1844, and went into partnership with his brother at Mansfield. He madea sucéessful lawyer. In 1848 he was a delegate tothe Whig Con- vention at Philadelphia which nominated Gen, Taylor for President. If 1852 he was a Senatorial delegwate to the Baltimore Con- vention that nominated Gen, Scott. His position as a Conservative Whig during the alarm and excitement consequent upon the attempt to repeal the Missouri compromise secured his election to the Thirty-fourth Congress. He was a ready speaker, and he soon became known as a good debater on the questions of the day. Hetook an active part in the discussion of slavery, the na- tional finances, and all the other important lezislation of that day. At the close of his second term he was looked upon as the fore- most man in the House. He was nominated for Speaker, and a struggle ensued that lasted eight weeks. He was defeated, how- ever, by three votes. His prominence gave him the Chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. In 1860 he was again elected to Congress. In March, 1861, Mr. Sherman was elected to fill the vacancy tn the Senate caused by the resignation of Salmon P, Chase, who had become Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury. In less than a week after Mr, Sherman had taken his seat the Southern Senators has- tened home to aid in organizing the great rebellion At the close of the extra session he went home and assisted in raising troops. On his return to Washington he intended to offer his services as a soldier, but both Lincoln and Chase persuaded him that he could do more good where he was. In the financial legislation arising from the war, Mr. Sherman took a most active part. He had pressed the legal tender clause in the bill for the tssue of Treasury notes when in the House, and when.-the bill came to the Senate he was the chief, if not only, advo- cate of the policy in the Committee on Finance. Mr. Sherman was re-elected to the Senate In 1867 and again {n 1873. In 1887 he introduced a refunding act which was adopted in 1870, but without the resumption clause. In 1874 a committee of nine. of which he was chairman, was appointed by a Republican caucus to secure a concur- rence of action, They agreed upon a bill fixing the time of the resumption of specie yayments on Jan. 1, 1879.

Cocaine brought her to what she is. From her position among the proudest in| the land the insidious drug had brought! her to the bottom. Last night she was taken from the Workhouse and placed in) the prison ward at the hospital. Mrs. Meyer’s story sounds ineredible, but it is true. She has proofs, she says, for her every statement. She is but a wreck of her former self. Clad in the coarse blue hospital wrapper,her feet encased in large, cheap elippers, it Is hard to conceive how only a few years ago, resplendent in Worth gowns and bedecked with jewels, she was received in the higtest circles and was a queen in the social worid.

HE WAS VERY ILL AND SENT FOR THE BRIDE. WEALTHY YOUNG MAN COMES UP FROM HOT SPRINGS TO BE WED. CONDUCTOR HORTEN TRIES TO INTERFERE. Coates Ordered His Will to Be Written and Was Then Driven to a Justice’s Office, Where the Wedding Occurred. John Lindley Coates, proprietor of the Coates House, Kansas City, arose from what he considered would prove his deat - bed to marry Mrs. Mary Jane Inman, also of Kansas City. | The wedding took place under circum- stances which were entirely out of the or- dinary. The ceremony was performed by Justice Haughton at the latter’s court, Eighth and Chestnut streets, in spite of the energetic efforts of J. C. Horton, a railroad con- ductor, to prevent it. Hooten claimed that there were the best of reasons why Coates and Mrs. Inman should not become man and wife. lie made a scene at the marriage license office when the permit was first applied for and declared that he would prevent it at ali hazards, or at least until Coates’ rel- atives could arrive, who were expected from Kansas City early last evening. At 8 o’clock yesterday afternoon John Jarboe, an employe at the Coates House, accompanied by Attorney Joseph M. Bor- ton, applied for a license for John Lindley Coates and Mary Jane Inman to wed. They explained that the couple were at the Southern Hotel, where Coates was ill in bed and unable to leave the room. They had just begun to relate their story when in burst Horton like a house a-fire. “They shan’t get married,’’ he shouted, “T won’t allow it. Coates’ relatives are coming to-night and I'll se that this thing don’t occur until they can get here and look after him. ; “Coates is irresponsible. He don’t know what he is doing, and I propose to protect him.’’ Where Horton’s interest came in did not appear, and he was told as much. He in- tervened on the broad ground of friendship, he said. He cavorted for quite a while, and among other things threatened reporters with dire consequences should they publish anything about the affair, and then went away. Clerk Dietering told the applicants for the license that he would issue one regardless of Hooten’s objections, if they would have the touple appear before him in person. When this information was conveyed to Coates he instructed Attorney Borton to draw up a will for him, in which he be- queathed life insurance and notes amount- ing to $8000 to Miss Inman. The attorney went back to hie office and called ex-Gov. Chas. P. Johnson into the case. They drew up the will, which was a very brief document, and then repaired to the Southern. While the attorneys were working on the will, Coates and Mrs. Inman left the hotel, to the great astonishment of the attaches of the house. They were driven to the Court-house in a carriage, and reached the Recorder's office just before the closing hoar, 4 o’clock. Formal application for a marriage license was made and the paper was issued. Coates’ age was given as 37 and the bride's as 30. Coates then ordered the driver to hasten to the nearest Justice’s office. Coates is a very sick man, tajl and gaunt. He walked without assistance to the carriage, but it was evident that nervous energy and not physical strength was supporting him. After the ceremony the horses were trot- ted at full speed to the Southern, Attorneys Johnson & Borton did not know what to make of the absence of their clients, having understood that the mar- riage would be postponed until Monday. They waited and waited, not knowing what to do. At 5 o’clock the couple re- turned. The attorneys were met in the corridor. The lady was all smiles, and Coates had an unusual brilliancy in his eye. “Come upstairs. I have news for you,”’ he said. The quartette went up to the adjoining rooms on the fourth floor, which Coates and Mrs. Inman occupied. Coates rang the bell and ordered a bottle of champagne. “When it comes, if you wish, you may drink the health of Mr. and Mrs. Coates,’’ he said triumphantly. “Well!” ejaculated the attorneys, simul- taneously. The newly-made benedict explained what had transpired. The marriage rendered the will unnecessary and the paper was torn up. In conversation with a reporter for the Post-Dispatch Coates said: “T came here Wednesday from Hot Springs, where I had been for eight weeks. Candidly, I never expected to leave the hotel alive and I don’t know now that I will. .I sent for Mrs, Inman and Jarboe on my arrival, and they got here Thureday. “Fiorton called on us to-day. He isa con- ductor between here and antas City. I am well acquainted with him and told him we were to be married. He said nothing that would indicate an intention to act as he did and I am at a loss to explain his con- duct. ‘*"There were sufficient reasons why we should get married, and it was nobody's business but our own.” Mrs. Coates said that she was stopping with friends at 108 Tracy avenue, Kansas ity. She tis a fairly well featured woman, with blonde hair and Is inclined to embonpoint. She was plainly attired and wore diamonds in her ears and on her fingers. The future movements of Mr. and Mrs. Coates will depend entirely on the for- mer’s health. They will remain at the Southern for several days. Arthur C. Coates, a younger brother of the man who was married, registered at the Southern at 7 o'clock last night. He was met in the hotel corridors by Conduct- or Horton, who had taken a train load of soldiers to Jefferson Barracks since his disappearance from the Courthouse. Coates curtly said that the marriage and the circumstances surrounding it were pri- vate affairs. When told of the events that had transpired in the marrtage license of- fice he turned the reporter over to Horton. That gentleman vehemently denied that Re had said any of the things attributed to iim. A special disnatch to the Post-Dispatch from Kansas City reads: ¢ news of J.

Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “Gentlemen—Several years ago my neck began to swell] rapidly and pained me severely. I could not move my head either way without great suffering. A physician told me my trouble was goiter but I found that it would be s0 expensive to cure that I let it go. I suffered for two months more, and my whole sys- tem became a perfect wreck. I was an- noyed by eruptions on my skin, was very nervous, had palpitatian of the heart and asthma. There would be weeks at a Ficod’ time when I could not lie down in bed. One day a friend told me my blood was out of order and I had better try Hood's Sarsaparilla. At first I did not feel like doing so, as I had tried so many medi- cines without good effects, but I read so many testimonials about Hood’s Sarsa- parilla I decided to try it.

When I had finished one bottle the swelling on my neck began to go either way. I kept on taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla until I was entirely cured. The swelling has hever returned, and it has now been go long since «my cure that I have no fear that it will ever return. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured the eruptions with which I was troubled, and it proved a great help to me during the critical period of my life.

He sailed to the West Indies and also visited Cuba. He remained with the Hartford un- til it went out of commigsion and then re- turned to Boston and came several years ago to this city. He talks interestingly about some of the characteristics of Admiral Luce. He said: “There were 200 boys on the Hartford at that time, all of whom were compelled to enter the singing class. Admiral Luce be- lieved in giving the naval apprentice a mu- sical education. He often said: ‘Music pre- pares a boy for the more earnest things of fe.’ se Mr. Delahunt expects to hear from Wash- ington and be recommissioned in the serv- ice. While he has a family and extensive business interests, he says that he will respond if called. FR. M’CAFFREY VERY ILL. His Condition Critical and Visitors Cannot See Him.

Prominent Young People From Illinois Come Across the Bridge to Have the Ceremony Performed. A handsome young couple from Illinois, the son and daughter of prominent State officers of that State, came quietly into St. Louis yesterday afternoor and procured a marriage license, The groom-elect was Leander L. McCul- lough, aged 27 years, of Urbana, Ill. He is the son of State Auditor McCullough and his father’s private secretary. The bride-elect was Miss M. C. McCauley of Olney, Ill., aged 22 years She is the daughter of R. N. McCauley of Olney, a member and Clerk of the State Board of Pardons, and has been her father’s sten- Ographer on the board. A telegram to the Post-Dispatch from Olney last night states that the couple were to have been married last fall, but the wedding ceremony was postponed on account of the death of Mrs. brother. The family knew nothing of the marriage here until notified by wire last night. Considerable interest attached to the fine-looking and well-dressed young couple around the Courthouse yesterday afternoon. when they applied for a license, it being evident from their bearing and genera! demeanor that they had eloped. Where the marriage took place was not developed, but it is certain the couple made quick use of the legal document they ob- tained. It is understood of course that the sev- eral papas and mammas will extend their forgiveness and blessing, and it is quite certain that Mr. and Mrs, McCullough will live happily ever after.

RIVER THOROUGHLY SEARCHED. Young Man Undoubtedly Drowned, but His Mother and Sister Refuse to Believe It. Darkness put a stop to the searching for the body of Harry Brooks, who, while in a skiff was run down and swamped by the North Market street ferryboat Saturday forenoon. The young man, who was a member of the Mound City Rowing and Athletic Club, and an expert swimmer, was engulfed under a heavy wave and disappeared. A dark object bobbed up shortly after amid a lot of driftwood. It was about a block from shore, and though indistinct, Witnesses say it was Brooks, and that he appeared to be making for shore. Then a heavy wave pitched h gh at that point and the dark object was lost sight of. Harry Rowland, who lives in a shanty | boat at the foot of Tyler street, saw the disaster; so did Will.am Lang, Brook's rowing partner. They say that Brooks was in his sk ff fixing a trot line. He was lean- ing over his skiff on the other side from the approching ferry. The latter cut in, made a short turn, running into and swamping the small shell. This occurrea on the other side of the big transfer boat, hidden from the view of the two watchers on shore. When the boat cleared, nothing but the dark speck was visible. The waves were heavy and choppy and before Lang, who has a lame arm, had rowed well out into the river the speck supposed to have been Brooks, disap- peared. Members of the rowing club and other men, in skiffs searched until dark Saturday night. He was such a good swimmer,’’ his moth- @r and sister argue. They will not believe he is dead. The mother said that she must first seo the dead body. The sister and mother looked on from the levee until it was dark and the search was put off un‘il this morning. Brooks lived with them, at 816 Brooklyn etreet. He was 22 years of age and once was engaged in clerical duties. But he loved outdoor exercise became an expert oarsman and swimmer and almost lived in the water. Then he took to fishing, did it In a buel- ness-like manner and made enough out of it to keep his little home comfortable and the family well provided for. On the river front the friends of the fish- erman denounce the ferryboat pilot, as it is claimed that the ferryboat was headed di- rectly for the skiff, and no warning was given, they say, nor any attempt made to steer clear of it. The crew of the big boat say it was too late to change the course when Brooks was seen. EDUCATORS’ PROGRAMME. Subjects for Discussion at the National Meeting Are Chosen. Special to the Post-Dispatch.

KING, ALIAS JOHN WILLETT. as John Willett he would say that is not his name, but he very probably would turn red and stammer as he said it. Under the name “John Willett’ is con- cealed a bit of John A. King’s history which he - would prefer the world did not know. It is a story of a double life; an ug! age which will give the public some aaueention of the character of at least one man who sits in the House of Delegates and votes away the people’s rights to fran- chise grabbers. When John A. King was a candidate be- fore the people of the Fifteenth Ward for election to the House of Delegates on the Republican ticket tn the spring ol 1897 he was known to some people only as John Willett of 1828 Washington avenue, where lived also a woman whom he introduced as his wife. ; In the sarne block where he lived with the woman lived also his mother and father at 1308 Washington avenue. 4 Republican though John A. King Is, as John Willett he passed as & free silver Democrat during the campaign of the au- tumn of 1896. He is in the 1897 directory, compiled in 1896, as both John A. King gf 12028 Washington avenue and John Willett 398 Washington avenue. of hen the revisers of registration lists made a house-to-house canvass before the election of 18%, two of them visited 1320 Washington avenue.

That is the reason why the mame John Willett does not ap- -~ the registration eft, Perhie circumstance is remembered and at- teated by James Healey, one of the revisors now a police officer In the Seventh District. It is also femembered by Dr. Cord. After Willett moved, Dr. Cord was talk- ing with P. N. Clapp. the livery man on Washington avenue, between Thrteenth and Fourteenth streets. A man passed by, whonr both knew, but by 4 fferent names, “There goes our new delegate, John A.

This was the Orat intimation the doctor had of the doub'e life of his tenant. On June 15, 18%, or thereabouts, a rather handsome woman applied to Dr. Cord of 12% Washington avenue to rent two rooms She was told the price. and. saying that her husband was a hwookkeeper in North St Touls and that she would have to consult him before closing the deal, went away John Willett is in the 1897 directory as a biokkeeper, but by who employed ts not Za oa? abe went to ‘North St. Louls she must have flown. for !n a very few minutes she returned and told the doctor she would take the rooms.

His father runs the loan office there.’ “I then told Clapp that Kine was the man who had been renting from me as Willett. and had been living with a woman at 1320. “I had other relations with the man as both Willett and King, however. While they were renting from me, and during one of her rages, the woman broke a pane of glass in a door. “Soon after they left me King, in the ca- pacity of appraiser of property upon which his father made loans. took a bicycle be- longing to a prospective borrower up to Jordan & Sanders at Fourteenth and Wash- ington avenue to learn its value. While he was there as John A. omg went to him to ask about payment for the broken glass. He did not hesitate to talk about the Dill. He admitted that it should be paid, but said he would make the woman (pay for it. He said he was done with the woman.

There is no room for them, and what is more, the ordinance des- ignating what offices shall be located in the City Hall omits mention of the Police De- partment, except that of the police and fire alarm telegraph service. ese quarters are already snugly established in the new building. Yesterday afternoon Police Commissioner Stuever called at the Mayor’s office and said he had come in answer to a note from Gen. Lewis, President of the Police Board, to select quarters for the lice chiefs. Mr. Stuever failed to find Gen. Lewis, and while he was waiting he and Secretary Adam Ziegenhein looked up the ordinance on the subject. When Mr. Stuever saw that no provision had been made for his depart- ment in his big hall he said he thought it was altogether proper and that police , oF » quarters should stay where they are, so as to be convenient to the oo and holdover, President McMath said it was originally intended that police headquarters should be in the City Hall, occupying half the basement from the Clark avenue side, but that when the plans were altered and the ceilings in the basement made only nine feet high the idea was abandoned. He says there is no place now for the police chiefs except on the fourth floor, and that in very small rooms. He also added that with the widening of Twelfth street there would be material changes in the Four Courts Building, es- pecially the Jall, which would be made new and would occupy more room. It is probable that the whole plan of the Four Courts Building will be enlarged so as to give the police more spacious quarters, FUNERAL SERVICES IN SENATE President McKinisy and Other High Officials Attended.

WORK OF COMPANY “A,” SEC- OND MASSACHUSETTS CAVALRY. HENRY SCHROER TOOK THE GENERAL’S HORSE. An Old Clerk in the Postoffice Claims a Military Honor His Company and Proves His Claim. for There is one man in St. Louls whose heart probably beats faster and his eyes kindle with the fire of other and younger days when he hears or eces in print the name of Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee. As the American Consul-General at Ha- bark. ‘That was on Thursday, the 2th day of June. I remember the date exactly and have it in my diary besides,, We marched all that day, but got started late and made not over fifteen miles, Next morning we zOt an early start, but were delayed again by foraging halts. We were in the enemys country and carried no rations. “And to this fact was due Gen. Lee’s capture, as you will see when I reach the »oint. I, as chief trumpeter, rode at the ead of the column, alongside,of Capt. Reed, with our company just behind us. “It was along about noontime that we trotted through ‘the little hamlet called Hanover Courthouse. The place Was prac- tically deserted and there was but little to be had in the way of provisions at the town's only store. “The boys were hungry and mad, and so was Capt. Reed, for that matter. We went on and, as near as I can remember, about half a mile from town we spied a pictur- esque-looking house of the old Southern mansion variety. “When we got even with the house, which was not more than’seventy-five feet from the road, Capt. Reed commanded me to blow the ‘halt and dismount.’ Capt. Réeéd then turned in his saddle and said: “Go in there, men, and see if you can get some provisions.’ “In a minute there were blue-coated sol- diers all over the yard. A grand race was made for the smokehouses and for a few minutes the house was not entered. “None of our company got to the smoke- house in time to get anything. It was not the custom to go inside of the houses and usually when the chicken coop and smoke houses had been rifled we would go away. Getting left in the race for the bacon and hams was what sent some of A Company's men into the house. “*Bob’ Armstrong, Henry Wilson, two other men and myself went into the house by the front door. There was a long hall ++ igo clear through, with rooms on either side, ** *Bob’ tried 'the front door on the left and it opened. We all pushed in. There was a man in the room reading a book or pamph- let. He had one leg, the left one, as I re- member, stretched out straight on a chair in front of the chair he was seated on, “Tl did nor recognize his attire as a uniform at first. It was black and I did not notice any insignia of rank. ‘Bob’ must have seen the brigadier’s star on the collar right away, for by the time all five of us had vana the distinguished Virginian has won pushed into the room ‘Bob’ said: “ HWello, reb.

But the effect of Lee's name on this par- ticular St. Louisan is to awaken not only patriotism, but the memory of an event important in his life and particularly so to Gen. Lee. The St. Louisan is Peter ©. White, a clerk | in the Postoffice. He is 638 years old and a &randfather. Out at his home, 6110 Ridge avenue, Just beyond the city limits, he has a charming family of sons and daughters and grandchildren, Of a the ‘stories that Grandpa White tells the little ones who cluster around gis a If the evening the story of how their OWn “Rfandaddy” captured: a big rebel General and made him prisoner, and — boy arty on the General's own fine ® is the one elights } A ery 6 that delights them the And it is an interesting etory, as told by Mr. White, although he did not perform all the feats that have come to be credited to him {n the minds of his erandchildren. , White was chief bugler in Company A, Second Massachusetts Cavalry, the com- any that took Gen. Lee prisoner near his ome at Hanover Courthouse, Virginfa, and was one of the capturing squad. He related the story in detail to a reporter for the Post-Dispatch and said that he did 60 merely to set his company right, since what glory might attach to capturing Gen l@e had been claimed of inate by men who had no connectiog with the event, a It Was in the summer of ‘6,’ he began, that the first battalion of our regiment about 275 strong, landed at White House. on the Pomunky River. We had come upon transports from Gloucester Point, opposite famous old Yorktown, where G: n.

This is my house.’ “And with that he got up. What he said was said in a good-natured way, though, and when he got up he was beginning to smile. “When he stood straight up and turned his face more to the light everybody saw the star and we ali puffed up with pride ac- cordingly. ‘“*T don’t Hke to do this, General,’ Bob said, ‘but you see we can’t leave you here and I guess you better come out and see Capt. Reed.’ ‘“‘Now it gounds funny to say it, but every one of us captors felt embarrassed and rather out of place. I remember one fellow involuntarily elipped up his hand and took off to the other while the parley was going on. After Bob got through with his hesitating speech Gen, Lee said: “*O, that’s all right. you know.’ “And with that he picked up a big black slouch hat and started out with us. I no- ticed that he limped a little and going down the walk I asked him if he was wounded: “Just a scratch, that I got at Chan- cellorsville,’ he answered. ‘Capt. Reed had dismounted and was standing at the gate. We saluted and Bob turned his prisoner over to the Captain. I'm Fitzhugh Lee, Captain,’ said the prisoner, simply. “Capt. Reed shook hands with him, but what he answered I did not catch, and im- taal after I was blowing the assembly Fortunes of war, “My memory is not clear as to who else was in Gen. Lee's house, but my impression is that he was alone. I recollect one thing in connection with the capture, and that is that Henry Schroer, who its proprietor of a summer hotel somewhere near Boston, took possession of Gen. Lee's horse and I tried 2 trade him out of it for three months after, “At that time Gen. man, in appearance at least. He was tall and straight as an arrow.

On the second day following his capture my bat- talion got back to White House and joined Gen. Sears’ division. The captured Gen- eral had been sent away by that time.’’ Trumpeter White kept a diary during his soldiering are. He now points with a deal of satisfaction to an entry which is as follows: “Friday, June %.—We made Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee prisoner at his home near Han- over Courthouse. Had wound in lege from late battle of Chancellorsville. Henry Schroer took his fine black war sted.” ST. LOUIS TURNVEREIN. Annual Gymnastic Exhibition at Their Hall This Evening.

Bright and early Monday morning, Mr. D. Crawford, the merchant prince of St. Louis, will open his magnificent dry goods estab- lishment on Broadway with a salvage sale, the like of which was never before heard of in this part of the country. The special stock (valtied at half a million of dollars) is that formerly comprising the stock of the Glaser Bros. Wholesgle bry Goods Co. of Wash- ington avenue and when ye festive bar- Zain hunter sallies torth at daybreak to-morrow morning t6 inspect the won- ders of this gigantic array of “slightly solled but undamaged”, goods, she will un- doubtedly throw a series of ecstatic convul- sions that would do honor to an array of the choicest of King Solomon’s treasures. it is perhaps whe first time in dry goods history that a retail sfore, however large, has purchased the complete stock carried by a high class wholesale establishment. The colossal character of this great pur- chase by D. Crawford Co. and its tremend- ous importance to the purchasing public of St. Louis can only be thoroughly appre- ciated by those who were acquainted with the high grade and the immensity of the stock that has been carried by the Glase! Bros. Co., hitherto known as one of the largest wholesale houses in the Western country, The D. Crawford Company has engaged a large extra force of assistants for this occasion, and each of the fifty-five immense departments of the store has prepared a line of special ‘‘fire sale’’ bargains that will strike the natives dumb with admiring as- tonishment. This superb salvage purchase is the grand, bright and scintillating hit, the culminating chef-d’oeuvre of Crawford’s amazing, un- equalgd, phenomenal mercantile success. And, Jove! how cheap everything is. There are quantities of fine underwear that are in perfect condition and entirely fresh from the slight shower-bath they received at the Glaser Brothers famous fire. This stock, which is unharmed from anything 6ave dampness, begins with stockings at three cents a pair, and ends with men’s three-dol- lar union suits, at twenty-five cents each. Men’s fine linen eshirts, that sell ordinarily from $1.00 to $3.00 each, can be bought for ten. pennies. As Mr. Crawford himself says, ‘‘One can procure an entire summer wardrobe for the price of an old shoe.’”’ The ginghams, per- cales, chambrays and innumerable other summer wash materiale, will go for almost nothing, and, girls, now is the time.to pro- vide yourselves with a whole trousseau of tailor shirt waists. The bride-elect, who is tramping about, searching in vain for five-dollar nainsook embroidery or Honiton lace, at five cents a yard, will find her haven of rest and con- tentment in the D. Crawford & Co.’s Dry Goods establishment. The bicycle man who wants to dress in the latest wheeling costume, discarding the unsightly sweater for the natty neglige shirt, will find the latter article in every possible or impossible hue and pattern at the Crawford Fire Sale, for one-tenth their original price. Handkerchiefs will be cheap enough to be bought by the hundred-weight and domes- tics, linings and black and colored dress goods will be beyond the wildest dreams of the fire-sale enthusiast. As yet no advertisement in detail of this stupendous sale has appeared, but the great news leaked out last week and the store. was crowded Friday and Saturday, from early morning until sunset. Notwithstanding the stupendously heavy character of this purchase, and the great task of getting it into shape for sale, the system of the D. Crawford Co., is so per- fect that not the slightest confusion has resulted, and every customer will receive the same attention as in the ordinary busy days at Crawford's. 3 ‘The retail establishments of this country with the requisite nerve and cash to carry through so heavy a deal as this can be counted on the fingers of one hand. DIED OF STARVATION. Consumptive Patient at the City Hos- pital Refused His Food. Joseph Derras, a City Hospital patient, whose body lay on a slab at the Morgue yesterday, deliberatély, starved himself to death. The death certificate gave the cause of death as “consumption,” but if Derras had accepted the food proffered him he would be etill alive. During the week he was in the hospital not an ounce of food passed his lips. Be- sides tuberculosis he had a gastric trouble. When offered food he would say: “I would rather die of starvation than endure the agony a mouthful of food would cauée. Dr. Sutter could not move him from his de- termination and he slowly starved. Derras would not talk of himself. All questions as to his personality were an- swered by the statement that he was “just one of the hoboes.”’ To Arrange for Decoration Day.

WILL BE MARCHING AND BRASS BANDS. Meeting of Business Men to Complete the Programme for the Pub- lic Farewells to the Soldiers. ‘ When the local militia departs for war the soldiers will be speeded by a hearty demonstration of St. Louis business men. In honor of the event there will be a parade and a patriotic gathering at Union Sta- tion. The programme for such a testimonial of patriotism and allegiance to the flag was outlined yesterday afternoon at a meet- ing of citizens at the Business Men’s League quarters in the _ 5Be- curity Building. The meeting was called through informal notice in the local dailies, and organization was effected tem- porarily with J. C. Wilkinson as chairman, and James Cox as secretary. Mr. Wilkinson explained the object of the gathering, and introduced ex-Mayor Wal- bridge, who suggested that all organized local societies, including secret orders, the G. A. R. Posts, the Blue and Gray Camps and other veterans be. invited to participate in the demonstration on the departure of the soldier boys. Mr. Wilkinson summed up t opinion of those present, whén he said that Mr. Walbridge’s suggestion be car- ried out, with the addition that all citizens be invited to participate—but that organiza- tion would be left to themselves. For in- stance the residents of South St. Louis can organize and North St. Louisans do the same. When arrangements are made, and the day arrives, they can march to the place of the parade formation and partici- pate. This: means everybody—the more the bet- ter—even if half of St. Louis marching. Whatever expense is attached to the affair. the temporary patriotic associatton of business men will settle. Mr. Walbridge is chairman of this committee, and the fol- lowing are the members: Capt. Robert McCulloch, Maj. E. C. Cun- ningham, Gen. John W. Noble, A. G. Peter- son. Joseph F. Coyle, Frank Gaiennie, S. M. Kennard, Leo Rassieur, Thomas B. Rod- gers, Elias Michael, C. A. Stix, George W. Brown, W. H. Thompson, D. D. Walker, Chris Sharp, George H. Morgan, J. C. Wil- kinson and Henry T. Mott. Mr. Coyle mentioned that he was to Be present at the Mercantile Club Monday evening at a gathering of Veterans of Old Company A, the first company of militia in Missouri. He was asked to invite the ex-guardsmen to take part in the parade. It was also decided to have a magnificent set of colors presented to the boys at the public gathering, and to enliven the affair with several Sig brass bands. The meeting adjourned at 4 p. m. to meet again Tuesday, when everything will bé in shipshape. It was the sentiment of those present that the parting day should be preclaimed a public holiday, and it was thought not unlikely that the patriotic —— would so declare it of his own ac- cord. The membeys of old Company A, the first local militia/company organized, will take an active part in the testimonial to the de- parting soldiers. Last Thursday the vet- erans met, headed by Henry T. Mott, who entered the State military service in 1858. An assembly of the old ¢ompany will be held at the Mercantile Club Monday even- ing. Steps will ‘be taken to assure the at- tendance of all of the local military organ- izations at the ovation to the First Reg- iment, All desiring to participate may address or call on Henry T.

The President ought to understand that the American peo- ple are not worrying themselves as to what may be the views of Europe in regard to our course toward the Spanish butch- ers. European nations respect no nation that fears them. —-- - oo ONLY AS A WAR MEASURE. Tt isnot clear to the civillan understanding why the seizure of the Hawaiian Islands is necessary as a war measure, but if the step is taken ihey should be given up as soon as the neces- sity disappears. Jobbers flourish in war times. The Hawaiian jobbers are particularly active and wide awake and may be expected to take advantage of any opportunity offered by the present crisis. They must be closely watched and their game blocked. The United States have solemnly pledged themselves not to annex Cuba. But there is much. better reason for desiring that island than a group of rocks and plantations 2400 miles from our coast which can never be anything but a burden and expense. ae i i reo If an Assemblyman has the right to accept presents, as Mr. Willmore holds, every city official may properly accept them. The Judge on the bench and the juryman in the box may also take bribes. _— >> > to their country and from millions of factories, offices and resi- dences the symbol of the nation’s might and honor is con- spicuously displayed. The citizens of the United States stand shoulder to shoul- der, a unit in support of the Government, ready to move as one man in defense of human rights. The country ts united as it never was before. There is no North, South, Bast or West, but one nation, divided by no factional strifes, moved by one impulse, animated by a high and holy purpose, lhe meaning of the events of the past few days cannot be mistaken. The national consciousness is aroused. America etands to-day the armed conscience of the civilized world, prepared to enforce its dictates and, in pursuance of the na- tional mission, carry humanity one step farther in its pro- gress towards the goal of perfect freedom. > | I{ the contemplated revenue measure will bring in $190.000,- 00) as Chairman Dingley seems to think there need be no hurry about a bond issue. Let us pay cash as long as we can. > A Ant FIGHTING FOR HUMANITY. The Post-Dispatch has condemned the suggested course of taking food to Cuba with the idea of drawing the Spanish fire. Such a course would be childish. It would embarrass our warships and might be the cause of a catastrophe. But while recognizing that the war should be sternly pushed, giving blow for blow and bringing the enemy to terms as speedily as possible, the fact must never be lost sight of that the United States entered upon this conflict with humani- tarian motives. When the oppressed of Cuba have been freed, unless Spain continues an obstinate warfare for revenge, we should put up the sword. With Cuba freed from Spanish tyranny the Maine will be atoned for and the object of the righteous war at- tuined. Spain complains that the capture of the Buena Ventura vas piracy. What was the blowing up of the Maine and as- Sassination of 266 American sailors? oe THE BEST MEN WIN. ;” “Everything in naval warfare,’ says Lord Charles Beres- ford of the British Navy, ‘depends upon the individuality of the commander.”’ This expert opinion is worth having. So much attention has been given to the mechanical excellences of warships that many are disposed to look upon them as mere fighting ma- chines, and victory as likely to rest with the best built, most modern craft. But machines without men are worthless, and a badly built ship in the hands of a good man is a match for a good ship in the hands of a commander who falls short of the stature of manliness. As in the days of the Armada, and of Trafalgar and Lake Ivrie, God is on the side of the best men. eee . It was a mistake to suppose that the Central Traction got everything in sight. There is still some of the commonwealth left over from the last raid and the grabbers are after it. —-oe EUROPE AMERICANIZED. Signor Crispi, the Italian statesman can read the signs of the times. The principles and institutions of the Latin peo- ples are in danger, he thinks. ‘‘De Tocqueville’s prophecy will soon be fulfilled and for weal or for woe American Democratic principles will have revolutionized Europe.”’ This is a frank recognition of destiny. The United States began the revolutionizing process more than one hundred years ago when she taught Great Britain how to preserve a great colonial empire. Since that time every ardent thinker in Europe has watched the Democratic experiment in America until it has ceased to be an experiment, and now the lesson of Democracy is to be applied as occasion offers in all the old nations of the world. Prerogative may block it for a time, privilege may divert it from its true path, but that the movement is a fact of European politics is certain. Europe is being Americanized. This Italian opinion is only an echo of the conviction of every true American. But it is gratifying to hear it, for it means that America is recognized as the leader of the nations, the pathfinder of progress and humanity. too If there is anything in persistent rumors the Cabinet is in very ill health. Postmaster General Gary resigned ‘‘by order of his physician,’ Secretary Sherman is already incapacitated, ‘while Secrétaries Long, Alger and Bliss are reported ina bad way. A family physician is a friend indeed when a Cabinet officer is sick of his job. _ ea a & & a ae The newspapers which are run by guess work are getting found out. The rumors, canards and “fakes” which have been wiven out during the past few days would ruin the most stal- wart reputation. The fakers which give them currency are fast losing what little hold they had on the public confidence. —~o @+- The Post-Dispatch is the only evening paper in St. Louis which has the Associated Press dispatches. ——_——_—_____—_-@-@ POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS.

The policy of loot against the city was fully inaugurated by the street railway franchise grabbers at the last mect- ing. Four railway bills were principal one in the interest of the Lindell company, Which s.eks to gobble up about all of value that is left im the streets by the gridiron Central Traction bill Mr. Gaus g@uac.pioined this bill in the Counctl) and Mr. Judy in the House. There 1s little or nothing new in the Lindell’s proposition from its several bills that were exposed in the Post-Dispatch last fall, when it was demonstrated that their ulterior purpose was to protect the Lindell’s charter, which expires in about 12 years, and gain for ita b0-year franchise. The new features in the Lindell grab are three downtown loops and the payment to the city of $1,625,000, in inStallments—1900 to 1905, $25,000 per year; 1995 to 1915, $30,000 per year; 1915 to 192, $35,000 per year; 1925 to 1900, $40,000 per year; 1935 to 1945, $45,000 per year. . The Suburban Company asks a franchise to extend its main line to Florissant av- enue, to the cemeteries and alon Map.e avenue to the city limits. The St. Louis & Meramec River‘line, which is operated by the Suburban, asks to extend its line from its junction with the Suburban on Sarah street to Florissant avenue and the ceme- teries. Each of these companies offer to pay the city $1000 a year, beginning five years after their construction, until 19.0 and $2000 a year thereafter until 1936. All three of these companies insist on operat- ing funeral cars, ambulance cars and to carry express matter, such as household supplies, etc. Kratz stood sponsor for the two subur- ban bills. Thuner came forward with a bill to be known as the South Broadway belt. This road is run over «he following route: Be- ginning at Ninth street and Russell avenue, over Russell and Chouteau avenues, Elev- enth street, Park and Ninth to place of be- inning.

Al of them are prominent in the South Broadway Merchants’ Association, The launching: of these mammoth grabs followed an emphatic veto from the Mayor of a minor one just as anxiously sought Dy the Terminal Railway Association. The vetoed bill was one asking for surface tracks over Clark avenue and along Moore street to Market street. The Mayor said for 12 years the Terminal company had ‘been trying to get the ordinance passed, and then he gave substantial reasons why 6team railways should not be operated on etreet surface, especially in such crowded localities as the one proposd. There was no attempt to pass the ordinance over the Mayor's veto, as the bill belonged to the Jast session, but with an utter disregard for it, Edmund Bersen tmmediately intro- duced one of similar import for the Ter- minal company.

Mallery | [hand and read on and (of the words which required emendation in | ing to $81.50 maintenance of plant, $68, and ioss by abandonment of plant when the navy shall have been completed, $75.50. It should be noted, moreover, that although a European firm quoted $1,590,000 as the cost of building a plant equal in every respect to those in the United States, prices are lower now than in 1887, when the Bethlehem company began its plant, or even than in 1890, when the Carnegie company began the manufacture of armor. The United States naval experts estimate that the cost of labor and material in a ton of nickel steel armor is $148, plus 10 per cent on that sum allowed for loss from spoiled and rejected plates; in a ton of Harvey nickel-steel the cost is $168.53, plus 10 per cent; and ina ton of double-forged nickel- steel, $187.80, plus 10 per cent. As a result of these investigations, the Secretary of the United States Navy con- that the present value of an ar- lant, like those of the companies re- to, is $1.500,000, and the allowance for maintenance $150,000 per year while the plant is in operation, and that 3250, in round num- bers, may be taken as the cost of armor when the companies have fair orders for work. This is very near the figure of the Bethlehem bid for armor to the Russ‘an Government, which was $259. However, thie low bid was made, the Bethlehem company claims, in order to get into the European market with American armor. Allowing 50 per cent (for profit and inter- est on capital invested) upon the above cost of manufacturing armor for United States battle ships now under contract, would make $375. which, plus $20 for the nickel in the armor, gives $395 per ton, or, in round numbers, $400. This. the Secretary stated, seemae to be an equitable price to pay for armor for the vessels in question, and $375 per ton, if Congress should authorize the construction of any additional battle ships. The two American companies now demand $425 per ton,-and claim that the average mor | market price of the wortd for armor is over $500 A Strange Case of Automatism. '¥rom Harper’s Magazine for ‘May.

Report Circulated, but Too Late, That Russell Sage Had Died. NEW YORK, April 23.—The strength of the stock market this morning was again chiefly a reflex of the tendency of the Lon- don market. Advances were general there and upon the opening of bus.ness in the New York market foreign houses appeared as buyers of stock to a moderate extent. In the foreign markets Spanish 4 per cents advanced, while rather singularly United States Government bonds of 1925 were frac- tionally lower. The temper of the market was cheerful, and while there was very little outside commission business, the room traders were generally bullish, taking the ground that the war will ae: ag a, cluded. The capture of the Spanish mer- chant vessels contributed to this belief, a addition to which the foreign eg B 1 patch brought reports regarding oe : The ing condition of the Spanish finances. oe dealings were comparatively large "York Grang«r shares, oe New Yor Central and Sugar Refining. The weekly statement of bank averages also made a good impression. The surplus reserves showed an increase of $6,179,000, and loans were reduced by $7,439,000, actual cash ‘holdings increased $5,603,000. A rumor was sprung, too late to poof use, that Russell Sage had died, and the market closed the week at the best prices of the day. ti Ever since the general Cuban question became prominent, stress has been laid upon one feature of the situation that has not generally received the attention it de- served, 'Thig question is the state of Span- igh finances. Attention has recently been directed to them by the severe decline in Spanish bonds of all issues. The great financial institution of Spain is the Bank of Spain. The relations between the Government and the bank are very close, and their fortunes are identical. The bank collects the larger part of the Gov- ernment’s revenues and obtains its chief profit in the operation. Up to this time the bank has paid divi- dends of 20 per cent or mare annually. The capitad of the bank, expressed in dollars, is $30,000,000, andl it has the right to issue notes under certain requirements as to its bullion holdings up. to $300,000,000. In March the bank ‘had issued and had outstanding $251,000,000 of these notes, and in a subsequent advance to the Govern- ment, for the payment of the April cou- pom, it Is thought the bank reached the egal limit of its note-issuing power. The bank owns government securities amount- ing to $150,000,000, and besides has, according to a recent statement, $28,000,000 loaned upon the security of government bonds. The decline in government bonds owned by the bank has utterly wiped out its cap- ital and surplus, which last amounts to $3,000,000. The notes of the bank, it is to be observed, constitute the greater part of the circulating medium of Spain. A dispatch Friday stated that the Bank of Barcelona on Thursday “withdrew 7,000,000 pesetas from its account af the local branch of the Bank of Spain. When this fact be- came known more people became excited and large numbers of them presented noves issued by the Bank of Spain, demanding cash for them. All the notes were cashed.’’ The last sentence is significant—“‘All the notes were cashed.” It ts unquestionably a grave question as to how long the bank wil! maintain its solvency. If taken for granted that the Spanish Government wil] default on the July interest payments, as ‘the, money pb ¥? ge ip, the prosecution of the war even if it shou orthe ‘ dinary jandnae be forthcoming fer its or- tis default will, of course, m - sition of the Bank of Spain (Am pn Reel rg ical. Should the bank be forced to suspend the redemption of its notes it may be readily conceived that the business of the country will be thrown into chaos and a revolution might be precipitated. Such conditions would unquestionably make it in:possible for Spain to wage war upon this country. It is thought that in the past few years Spain has ab- sorbed a considerable part of her bonds for- merly held in Paris and that the French holdings have been reduced to about 300,000,- om pesctas, or about $58,000.000. wees AS any general financial shock resulti from Spanish bankruptcy would be irene mitted here through the Paris and London markets, the reduction in the French in- vestments in these shaky securities is a matter of arpa) In view ofethé state of things roughly in- dicatedabove, it is difficult to see how Spain can prolong active hostile operations for any considerable length of time. Her finan- cial and physical weakness and her lack of available coaling stations place her at such a disadvantage that only the salva- tion of the dynasty justifies or explains her entering upon such a hopelese conflict. In contrast to Spain’s last desperate play, the United States Government fs proceeding calmly to arrange for ail the contingencies of the situation. New taxes, which wil] fall but lightly upon the people, are arranging, and the Government is preparing to borrow enough money to prosecute the war to a epeedy conclusion. In view of the relative étrength and resources of the contestants, our preparations seem almost extravagant, but then it is best that what is to be done should be done quickly. ELECTRIC MOTOR IN SCARFPIN. It Is the Smallest Machine of Its Kind in the World. From the New York Herald. The smallest electric motor In the world has been built by D. Goodin of McKinney, Tex., whose business as a watchmaker has trained him to handle delicate machinery with the exquisite care required in making a motor that moves with all the regularity of a big machine and yet is so small that The motor is so smail that it does not cover a silver dime, and {it weighs only 9-1”) of an ounce. The armature is about the size of a small slate pencil. The front of the motor is of goid, highly polished, and the commutator segments are also of the same metal, so that viewed from a distance. the scarfpin has the ap- of a very valuable and rather curiously designed p.n. It is only when standing near to Goodin when he is wear- ing the scarfpin that its nature can be dis- covered, The first thing to attract the attention is the buzzing of the machine, which, by means of current obtained from a gmall chloride of silver battery carried in the vest pocket, is kept in wperation at a high rate of speed, and with a noise like a small nest of hornets. The field magnets of the little motor are made of two thicknesses of No, 22 sheet iron scraped down and polished. These are he.d together with gold screws and wound with No, 26 silk-covered wire. The arma- ture is of the four-pole type and is wound with No, 36 wire. The little brushes are of marvelous thin- ness, having been constructed of copper, hammered down with much patience and care. There is a small gold switch on a black rubber base, made with a pin, to be worn on the lapel of the vest. Mr. Goodin has found his novel ecarfpin an “open sesame’ to afl places were elec- tricity is the popular topic. He has been lionized at every electrical exhibition held in this section of the country, and the wonder and interest aroused by his scarf- pin seem never to grow less. He has been asked to exhibit it in public, but is con- tent with the homage paid to his talents in his native town and refuses to show it publicly elsewhere. A Great Sight.

Hold- ers on the other side became exorbitant In their demands, and there was active pid- ding for cargoes. This in turn caused a heavy advance in Argentine and Indian wheat and the markets on this side natural- | ly followed. With every advance in cables | there was a corresponding advance on this side, but traders realized that the same re- | strictions on commerce that tended to put) prices up in Europe would necessarily re- | act on our markets and if the fears of the | foreigners were realized a heavy break on) this side would be certain, The resu.t was that everyone was feeling for the top. On every bulge there were some heavy realiz- | ing sales, and shorts were easily run to | cover. The markets were feverish and there were all sorts of opinions and expres- sions, The rampant bulls of early in the session | became the wildest bears later and vice versa. Cash wheat Kept e with futures, but the offerings were comparatively light. The receipts of wheat at primary points have been much heavier than they were a year ago, and in consequence the decrease in the visible supply is expected to be light. The world’s shipments have for some time been greater than the estimated European requ and stocks are de- creasing very siowly. On the other hand, stocks of wheat in this country and Europe are light, and the de- mand for flour is increasing. Dealers who have been buying from time to time on the hand to mouth plan, as they actually required it, have begun to lay in stocks in anticipation of war prices. Millers are again in the market for wheat, and al] cash offerings meet with ready sale at good | prices. Crop reports are unitoreny f from all sections except the San Joaquin Valley, California, advices are that the crop condition shows a wonderful improve- ment even over the excellent condition of March 1. This is particularly true in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where the early re- ports indicated considerable damage from frost. In the San Joaquin Valley the drought continues, and the a in that particuiar section is expected to be a partial failure, but the warm weather is regarded as ben- eficial in other parts of the State. The crop is now aby age out of dan- ger from damage by frost throughout the entire winter wheat belt. It has passed through the most critical stage, and the only thing now to be feared is that there may be drought damage later avorable, and on. Up to this time there has been a remark- able absence of complaints in regard to the ravages of insects, and not @ single report of serious damage by chinch-bug, Hessian fly or any worm has been received. Spring wheat seeding is entizely complet- ed in Nebraska and several gther States, and {s nearly completed in Minnesota and South Dakota. The acreage has been largely increased, and the crop was seeded under unusually favorable conditions. The weather has been mild and pleasant. There have been no disastrous floods, as were reported in the Northwest last year, and yet there has been plenty of moisture. Late reports from Argentine are more encouraging and the quality of the wheat is said to be good. Shipments from that country are increasing, and the shipments for the past week aggregated 1,120,000 bu. The shipments so far thie season have not only exceeded the insignificant shipments of last year, but are over 5,000,000 bu larger than the shipments for the corresponding period in 1896, The harvest in India is progressing favor- ably and the crop is yielding even better than was expected. Shipments from there are beginning to be heavier, and if the oresent prices in Europe continue, will soon e enormous. Russian shipments also continue to hold out well and show no signs of diminishing The flour trade shows some improvement, and there is a better foreign demand, but the local trade is light and the prices ob- tained are far from satisfactory, The mar- ket has not advanced in proportion to the advance in wheat. Corn has been even stronger than wheat, and while there have been frequent fluctu- Pan ®* an * oe * oe * o* ee Ch ations, the price was steadily upward. The cash demand is excellent and the light of- ferings make ‘holders independent. The shipping demand fs unusually good, and | foreign markets are strong and advancing. | Export clearances continue heavy and tha phenomenal decrease in the visible supply | of late has given additional strength to | the market. Local receipts are growing lighter, but | the receipts at primary ints are heavy | and the mowement toward the seaboard is large. Speculation fs fairly active and the | demand seems to increase as prices ad- | vance. Traders, who a short time ago, | were surprised at 30 cent corn are now con- fidently predicting that prices will go to 40 cents per bushel. Speculation in oats has been light, dut the cash demand was good and prices ad- | vanced steadily. The preparations for war have created an unusually active shipping demand and the local feeding demand is also good, Prices are higher than they have been for several years and al] offer- ings meet with ready nate. Cottoh has kept pace with *%e -raif’ mar- kets. and during the past week prices have | advanced steadily.

Many Vessels Are Being Built All Over the World. From the Philadelphia Record. Three vessels of 14,800 tons, two of which are nearly finished, are being built in Brit- ish yards, one battleship of 10,000 tons being built by Armstrong, and four first-class ar- mored cruisers of 900 tons with a speed of 20 knots, are assigned, two to Armstrong, one to the Vulcan Company, Germany, and one to France. Two cruisers of %00 tons, with a speed of 23 knots, are ordered in the United States, one cruiser of 4300 tons, with 23 knots speed, and eight torpedo boat d®- stroyers, with a speed of 30 knots, in En- gland; eight torpedo boats at Elbing, Ger- many, and four in France. Three cruisers of 3000 tons, with ® knots, three torpedo boats and a signal ship are being built in the imperial yard at Tokyo, in Japan, where an ironclad cruiser of 9600 tons, with ® knots will soon be begun. Japan has also ordered her torpedo boat flotilla to be fitted out as quickly as possible In her own — and is about to form a second squadron. It i: evident from the above that the Japanese navy will soon rank immdiately after En- gland’s, next to that of France and consid- erably ahead of the fleets of Germany, Rus- sia and the United 5S ates.

THE LIST OF ATTRACTIONS. High Wire and Trapeze Acts, Trained Ponies, Song and Dancs and Anything You Call For. What is claimed to be the most artistic and brilliant vaudeville entertainment ever seen in the city of St. Louis will be pre- sented at the St. Louis Relief Association benefit, which takes place at Grand Music Hall (Exposition) beginning to-morrow night, and continues one week, with mat- inees Wednesday and Saturday. The public this year have evinced un- usual interest in the welfare of this worthy institution, and have in a generous and sympathetic manner shown their apprecia- tion for the well directed efforts of this organization to give the best all round en- largest purchase of tickets in advance ever tertainment of a vaudeville character ever seen in any playhouse anywhere, by the heretofore known. This means unprece- dented business for the week’s entertain- ment, and it is safe to say patrons will be in every way pleased and satisfied with the programme that will be presented. Col. John D. Hopkins, manager of Hop- kins’ Grand Opera House, has furnished the programme, and this is a guarantee that it will embrace the highest class and most refined attractions in the vaudeville world —that are bright, clean and novel... A num- ber of the leading features are new to St. Louis, and are genuine novelties from the leading vaudeville houses in Europe and being made for West Side delivery. New arrangements are being made to control the | traific of St. Louls and to take the contro] | of that traffic out of teaming assoclatione and a minority of shippers. “The opportunity is now with the ship- rs of St. Louis. The railroads are mak- ng new alignments, They are making new arrangements. (onsultatione were held in this city during the las three days Consultations will be held in New York. St. uls taisiness men will know these facts @s ¢00n as the positive evidence for an @uthoritative «statement te placed in the hande of this committee. There may be a rate war. There may be concessions made temporarily to get business."

THE GOLDEN TIDE STOPPED. Imports of the Yellow Metal From Europe to Cease for Awhile. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, April 23.—The great gold tide that set toward American shores on February 2 last has ceased to flow. With the beginning of hostilities and the scarcity of commercial bills, which became apparent to-day, exchange rates have risen above the profitable importing point. The costs too, of risks would in any event deter our finan- ciers from calling upon England and the European Continent at this time for the big amount still due us. The balance of trade is still largely in favor of the United States. Millions-of bushels of wheat bought for export are still to be pald for, as the bills are not drawn until time of shipment. Sterling exchange is now 4.84, and with the present war rate on gold shipments in neutral bottoms at % of 1 per cent, it is cheaper for American creditors to let their gold reanain at interest in European centers than to bring it here. The total shipments from Europe and Australia to the United States within sixty days have approximated $66,000,000 —EE nD eee WIFE'S AWFUL ECZEMA Torture was so Intense Husband Thought She Could Not Live Twelve Hours. Doctors Within Reach Could Not Even Relieve. No Sleep For Seven Days. Tried CUTICURA REMEDIES. Asleep after First Application. Cured Well and Hearty. I desire to inform you what CuTicuRa (oint- ment) and CUTICURA SOAP have done for my wife. She was in the most horriblecondition of any human being, from that most torturing of skin diseases, Eczema. She could neither sit down or lie down, her torture was so in- tense. I tried all the doctors that I could reach, but she got so that 1 firmly believe that she would have died within twelve hours if I had not been advised of CUTICURA REM- EDIg8s and got them. A travelling man on seeing her condition told me what to get, and you may believe that I lost no time in getting them. Greatly to my surprise, my wife went to sleep in two hours after the frst application, although she had not slept for seven days, norI myself either. I followed up the treatment, and frco es of Cuticura (ointment) and one cake of Cuticura Soap did the work completely, she was absolutely cured, and is we!) and hearty to-day. Lf this state- ment will do you or anybody else any good, use it. It is straight facts,and I can back u ali l have said by fifty witnesses. Ican't than CuTicura REMEDIES enough, for I thought one time that I should have to bury my wife, and 1 was never so happy and giad, as when I saw that deadly, fiery red begin to leave.

KANSAS CITY’S WINNING HAND. News of the Local Clubs and Match Games and General Gossip : of the Brainy Game. The second annual gathering of the Mis- sourl Whist Association held in Macon on April 15 and 16, was decidedly successful in many ways. While the attend- ance was not as great as many expected, those who were present were representative men of their clubs, and they evinced a marked and enthusiastic interest in the objects of the association. The afternoon and evening of the 16th were devoted to preliminary play under the progressive pair system, and the games were thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part. Saturday morning the business meet- ing of the association was held, and Mr. Meredith, the retiring president, delivered a brief address, in which he reviewed the etapa taken to organize the association, and the progress made since the first meet- ing in Moberly last year. The secretary-treasurer submitted his report, showing the association's financial! affairs to be in a healthy condition, and that the following cities are represented in the association: Kansas City, St. Louls, Keytesville, Macon, Moberly, Columbia, Centralia and St, Joseph.

When he headed the Southern military organ- izations in the procession celebrating Clevelana’s inauguration in 1885, no man in the line was cheered with such enthusiasm. And no man looked so well. Like all great cavalry leaders, Lee is more imposing on horseback than on foot. New York- ers remember seeing him, four years later, ride at the head of the Virginia troops in the Wash- fington Centennial parade. He rode a thorough- bred and even those who did not know who he was could not help cheering him. The friendship between Gen. Lee and Mr. Cleve- land dates frgm the latter’s first inauguration, During President Cleveland's second term he made Gen. Lee General Collector of Internal Revenue at Lynchburg. Such is a brief epitome of the life of the man before he was sent to Cuba. In 189 the persecu- tions of Americans in the islands were a crying scandal and shame. There was need of a man of courage, discretion and force to represent the United States. This Government wanted to know the truth about the revolution there. It wanted its citizens protected. It has been sald again and again that In all the United States no man was so fitted for the place. The President originally purposed to send Gen. Lee to Cuba as a special commissioner, but after- ward decided to make him Consul] General to suc- ceed Ramon O. Williams, who had held the place for 20 years. Gen. Lee was appointed on April 13, 1896. The Spanish authorities had heard. of Gen. Lee. They knew of him as a cayalry leader, a real sol- dier, but they did not realize fully the manner of man he is, Gen. Lee was greeted with an elaborate courtesy, that delicate cobweb structure of politeness upon which makes so much diplomacy. They found Lee a master of the game. He has the distinguished bearing of a Virginia gentleman in whom has been bred a nice regard for the amenities of life for generations. Instead of the biuff soldier they found a man who could meet their polite nothings with equally pleasant nothings. Had Gen. Lee lived in the time of the cavaliers he would no doubt have been a famous duelist. In Havana he found himself continually embroiled in duels which required more skill, more courage and more finesse than were ever displayed on “‘the field of honor.” Gen. Lee’s hands were velvet. His words were like honey. He was feeling his way, investigating carefully and closely with his rich intelligence. The Spaniards could make nothing of him. In the game of fence he was their superior. The Consul General found many Americans in prison. He suggested to the Spanish Government so sweetly and gently that they should be re- leased that the Spanish Government was quite willing, out of pure kindness and courtesy. Then came the Ruiz incident. The American dentist had been murdered. Spain feared. Weyler thought it time to bluster. Then it was that Weyler opened his eyes. This American was not made of putty. His. courtesies were not his sole weapons. He was made of steel. He took his stand, took it boldly, always politely, but he was adamant. Moro CaStle stands on no firmer rock, Weyler had to give way. There was no help for it. He had made his match, more than his match. But for a moment the issue was in doubt. Gen. Lee sent word to Mr. Olney, saying that he must have the fullest support of the Government. No reply came. There followed a cable from Gen. Lee announcing that his resignation had bé@mgent on a steamer. Nothing in the world is finer than a man who stands for right and justice no matter what the cost. not have it.

There is a magnificent strength in the man which com. mands the reepect of the Spanish. They have neithér man nor men they can measure against him. Gen. Lee is even greater in peace than he was in war. but Gen. Lee pursued taking no heed, doing No man can tel] how many lives he has saved. Now and then, ijn cases like the arrest of the Post-Dispatch and World's who was in imminent danger of death in the interior, Gen. Lee spoke like the com- mander in the héat of battle.

The men who have directed their energies to the destruction of the enemy's warships are at the same time evolving ideas for safeguarding Uncle Sam's float- ing batteries, | Which will win? It {is the old story of guns against armor, supplemented by de- “ Patt Be vices never dreamed of a decade ago. (ey |. The Post-Dispatch presents to-day the schemes of inventors up-to-date. It takes ‘RAAT ALR as the center-piece the modern battleship, around which move all the weapons of destruction. There is danger from above, double danger from below, and the al- Ways expected peril from the side. The balloon which hangs over the devoted ship is not a myth, but a hot propo- sition. From tt bombs are to be dropped on the vessel below. But here another ; inventor has stepped in and extended a safety asbestos net from military mast to military mast. ; Combined with torpedo nets to save the ship from destruction below, is this hobp-proof net, which is the invention of one of America’s brightest minds. The Holland submarine boat has proved a success and has spurred other men of America to do likewise and surpass it if possible. A Massachusetts Yankee has been at work 20 years on a torpedo boat, and he now proclaims that he has achieved a success which can travel at the rate of 50 miles’ an hour and which dives like a fish. The new model American mortar battery, now at Sandy Hook, can throw a rain of shot weighing half @ ton each over any desired area. It is literally an iron : shower and in an hour can burn up $1,000,000 of Uncle Sam’s good money. Of similar plan is a new rocket gun, which shoots into the upper air its hail of destruction. : Against the enemy’s torpedo boats the battleship has a new torpedo guard, made LE to repel the inventions of Holland and the Massachusetts man. Z TORPEDO BOAT A WONDER. It Can Destroy an Entire Fleet and Is Invisible. A new and terrible engine of destruc- tion has been brought to a point of perfection by an inventor who hails from Haverill, Mass. It is a torpedo boat which might well be called the Artful Dodger. It does not shoot torpedoes through the water under the surface like Hol- land’s submarine boat, but it attaches a torpedo to a hostile ship and darts away under the water to the next ship. An infernal explosion and another ship goes up in a blaze of fire and down a tangled waste of machinery and men. James Bh a I) Z— F. Buckley of Haverill is ——_ the inventor of this boat, new to the A public, but to him representing the close application of 20 years. He has com- Its mode of operation is submarine. It makes a momentary appearance at the oe e surface to locate her prey and then attaches the annihilating torpedo to the ” 7. Si ship’s keel, speeding away before the torpedo explodes. ¥% eal e Buckley’s boat can make 4 miles per hour, and he claims that it is possible to make 50 miles per hour with a two-horse power electric storage battery, and that it can go four times as fast under the surface of the water 45 on the surface. The propellers are adaptations of the ordinary wheel propellor, or screw propellor, or side-fin propellor, with similar one so arranged as to draw the boat down or to the surface, The inventor has hit upon a plan by which the speed is increased enormously : in proportion to the power, a sufficiently high rate being produced with a mini- mum of power. His boat is in shape of a long cylinder, tapering to a point at both ends, made of plate steel much similar to others of its type, but its great — distinetion lies in its method of propulsion.

Even if injury should occur to the exterior, the interior chamber would float, being detachable from withh, and connections in control of the occupants allow of opening the outer shell for the chamber's egress. —- = _— — REAR ADMIRAL HOWELL’S DEATH-DEALING INVENTION, Rear Admiral Howell of the United States Navy ts the inventor of a be rocket, filled with explosives, which will wreak destruction and death upon the enemy's ships and men, : The Rear Admiral has long been conducting experiments with a view tdimproving guns of the Vesuvius type. His contention has been that the way to make an effective gun is to$tmbody in the projectile the two- fold character of piece and projectile. He has made a gun which will shoot a rocket containing the explosive With the accuracy of a rifle ball. He conveived the idea of revolving both the gun and the charge. The projectile, consisting in the 10-inch caliber of 100 pounds of gun cotjon. is encased in a thin metal P- velope, the rear end of which contains rocket composition and the head a gereussion fuse, which is set in ac- tion by the force of impact. This is placed tn the gun, and when by a mecjanical contrivance it has been spun up to 2600 revolutions a minute a friction-cap ignites the rocket cOmposition and the banked-up pressure at the . ts the rocket. rman This is how the gun is : ; fe The bresoh block is first opened and the pro*- tile inserted.

The chief requisites are a buoyant hull of such form that it may possess great carry- ing capacity and yet pierce the alr swiftly—a powerful motor of light weight, and such conservation of the energies of the craft as shall devote all waste products to the economizing of its resources to the last extremity. “Now, an aerial war vessel which aims to destroy anything below it by dropping high explosives thereon must be able to resist the sudden rise which always follows the loss of bal- last or weight in an ordinary gas bal- loon, which usually ejects its gas to overcome a tendency to rise. One cu- bic foot of hydrogen practically lifts one ounce, and 16 cublie feet lifts about one pound. A balloon of 21 feet diame- ter contains neariy 5000 feet of hydro- gen and lifts about 300 pounds.

No smile lights the face of this brave little woman, who followed where her husband led, and who bore with fortitude the rigors of an alien clime for his sake. There are no voices to cheer her save those of the rugged men whose thirst for gold has led them to the far North. Alone she weep, pining for her loved ones and mourning for the dead. Mrs. David A.

Epecial Correspondence Sunday Post-Dispatch. RAWPFORD COUNTY, Arkansas, is the greatest strawberry raising county in that State—possibly in this country. In the fertile yalley of the Arkan- sas River and on the sunny Southern sjopes of the Boston Mountains 4160 acres are set with the small plants, There are 44 farms given over entirely to the raising of the fruit. During the picking feason employment is given to 20,000 peo- ple. r It is estimated that more than 4,000,000 quarts of berries will be shipped this sea- S0Nn, The call this spring was for 10,000 non-resi- dent pickers. Nearly this number are now encamped along the highways in tents and wagons and ‘shacks,’ waiting for the sig- hal to begin. Twelve years ago cotton ruled in Craw- ford County. The plantations now berry flelds. Berry packing sheds and joading platforms have replaced the cotton pens and cotton gina, Long lines of colored cotton pickers going to work in the flekis with song and mirth have given place to thousands of rosy- cheeked boys and girls, men and women, with berry carriers over their arms. The eulttvation of berrics begun in the Mounty In a small way in iss by Capt are was I'r: nk Bmetzer and J. lL. Rea, a cotton broker. Mr. Rea had just come from the berey Melds of Tennessee. He became con- vin 1d thet the light shoal lands lying along the Southern slope of the mountains would prow straw erries and ripen them weeks in advance of he Missouri and Illinois flelds —ui, advactige sufficient to make their cul- tivation profitable. S neltzer @id Rea commenced raising ber- ries, and Others followed in @ small way for two years. Te profita realized excited not only the fur ners, bUt merchants, professional men anc capitalists, and hundreds of acres were soon planted. prom a few hundred crates by express hipmenta grew to car loads, last five years one or two try trains have ieft Van each aay, the and during th exclusive stra Buren every night during the four weeks the season lasts. These trains always make faster time to the distributing points than even mail trains. The propagation of the strawberry plant is easy and requires but little” skill in Crawford County. A field set in berries one season produces the first and usually the best crop the following season. The preparation of the ground is very simple. If it has been previously culti- vated, it receives no more care before the plants are set out than does Illinois corn ground. Should a grower desire to prepare timbered land and lack the time to clear it, he deadens the timber by girdling each tree and cuts out, the undergrowth, burning it and guch other fallen timber as may be on the ground. Then the ground is broken up as well as possible, laid off in rows one way and it ts ready for setting out the plants, The majority of new flelds are planted in February, March and the first week in April. To set out an acre of berries requires HO) plants. They can always be obtained from an old field. They are sold at 75 cents a thousand, delivered at the field. The strawberry growers of the country ship millions of plants each spring to Mis- sourl, Illinois and Tennessee growers, who prefer them to thelr own exhausted plants. The fields, being set out, receive no more attention or cultivation until the close of the berry season, when the cultivation of bearing, as well as of newly séet, fields be- gins. The best results are obtained Dy those who cultivate their fields most persastently. The ground is often plowed over seven or eight times, hoed and the weeds pulled from among the plants. A thorough working of the ground is con- tinued until about the Ist of August, When the dry weather begins and the fields are ready for the next season's crop. Preparations for caring for a crop begin about the ist of January. Crate material is bought and hauled to the farms. The cra‘es are made up and stored in large hous*s. About the first of April the different hor- ticultural socteties sent out circulars adver- tising for berry pickers. These are scattered throughout the surrounding counties of the State and through the eastern part of the 7 ~~ ¥ = or _ —- _— uf >, en AO ee - 1 (eo. e. of \: seutey ‘ a 5 gt * ciate: wea 5 meee. 4” Se a Op 4; — Pea?

Besides, each railroad has special berry tracks in its Van Buren yards. Among the larger growers is the Express- men's Investment Co., organized in 1895 by employes of the Wells-Fargo and Pacific express companies. They purchased’ a 200-acre tract of land three miles from Van Buren. They have 100 acres in strawberries, and the most of the remaining 100 acres in other small fruits. The Board of Directors ts composed of J. lL. Rea and A. Harrison of Van Buren; J. F. Ryan and C. KE. Goodwin of St. Louls; J. E. Keeler and J. H. Hamilton of Fort fenith, and L. Koons of Monett. The officers are J. BE. Keeler, President; J. lL. Rea, Vice President, and A. H. Har- rison, Secretary and Treasurer. The largest farm devoted exclusively to berries is the Syndicate or Van Buren Fruit Farm. The firm is composed of six of Van Buren’s leading merchants—L. WH. Southmayd, G. R. Wood, D. H. Miller, J. lL. Rea, Il. A Campbell and KE. A. Miler. They own 30 acres of land. Where eighteen months ago stood heavy timber, six hun- dred pickers will be gathering berries from a 170-acre fleld. This is the largest berry field in the Southwest, but they ex- pect to increase it to 20 acres next yger. The Oakland Fruit Farm, the Smeltzer, the P. D. Scott and I. A. Campbell's are all large ones, but the other farms are small, averaging about ten acres. At the beginning there was no system of shipping, and some days certain markets secured the entire shipments, causing bad returns. This led to the organization of the associations, with directors, officers and shipping committees. The latter receive every crate of berries and lesue an associa. tion voucher for them. berries shipped from Vaa the North and Northwestern RAISES MORE BERRIES THAN ANY COUNTY IN THE WORLD. each day as to the condition of the market before shipping.

Uncle Sam, true to his traditions, does pot propose to go into this scrap with Spain without mules. He will have mules and ‘plenty of them—blocky, hardy, wise Mis- gour! mules, The ‘Missouri mule ts ready. Nearly 2000 of him had started to the front before the war resolution was signed by the Presi- ‘Gent. Other thousands will follow if the war lasts long enough. . : The Missourl mule will be tn every fight and when the battle is over and Johnny “eomes marching home, flushed with vic. tory, to the Missourt mule will belong no gmall part of the credit and the glory. The first thing the United States Govern- ment did when it dectded to go to war was to call for mules. Men. are quite necessary in war, Dut mules are indispensable, Of course the Government agente came to St. Louts, the distributing point for Mis- sour! mules. The Government wanted good , mules. None but M!issour! mules would do. The first call was for animals 15% hands high and weighing 1200 pounds. The price paid was $94 a head. The contract for fur- nishing them was obtained by Maxwell & Crouch. A few days later another call came for 188 “Missouri mules. Bids were opened Tuesday. The price was about the same. The surviceability of the Missouri mule for war purposes is recognized by the Span- fards and Cubans, as well as Americans, Within the past three years 10,000 mules have beén bought here and shipped via Southern Atlantic ports to Cuba. Most of them Were bought by the Spanish Govern- ment. The insurgents bought some, but as a “rule they found it cheaper and more con- venient to capture them from the Spanliards, The United States would not use the mules bought by Spain. They are the runts and scrubs of the Missouri mule family. They were 14 to 14.1 hands high, and in- ferior in every way. Spain paid about $65 a head for them. The agent of the Spanish Government claimed that small mules were bought because the packs would be swept from the backs of larger ones by the under- brush of Cuba. The qualities which make the mule more gerviceable in battle than the horse are his hardiness, his equanimity and his judg- ment. This last article has been named ‘gtupidity. That is a libel, The Missouri mule is conservative, but well-balanced. He never loses his head. He does not get excited. Even when he is indulging in a-runaway he keeps cool and steers clear of danger, where a horse would plunge blindly into it. The horse is the mule’s superior on the battlefield only for purpo es of flight, and as there is going to be no fleeing on this side of the line in Cuba, the mule’s lack of speed will not interfere with his use- fulnese. | Dr. Edward N.

Uncle Gam’'s animals are no differ- ent from any others in this respect. In ad- dition to being 16 hands high, the ‘wheeler’ must weigh at least 120 pounds. When he throws that weight of bone, muscle and stubbornness into any cause, be it good or bad. something is sure to break. “The ‘swing mule’ is the middleman in a six-animal team. He is the chap that takes up all the slack left by the ‘wheeler.” He must be 15% hands high and must weigh about 108 pounds. So far as his other pe- culiarities are concerned, he is much like ‘the wheeler,’ only worse, being a shade smaller. “The ‘lead mute’ ia the animal that pulls along to suit himself ahead of all the rest. He is a chunky, 15-hand animal, and weighs about 93) pounda. “Last, but not least, I take pleasure fn mentioning the ‘pack mule,’ a blocky ant- nral, 15 hands high, and weighing an even 1000 pounds. The pack mule is supposed to carry a load larger than himself. I don’t think it has ever been definitely ascertained just how much he can carry. At any rate, the ‘packer’ always feels justified in strap- ping on his back al! that can be piled on, Many of the animals which pass as Ken- tucky, Kansas and Nebraska mules are really Missouri myles, having been taken to the other States ae colts. A great many Missouri! mules are taken to Tennessee and raised there. The milder, more even climate produces a finer coat of hair, but those raised right at home in Missouri develop the best bone and muscle, Formerly jacks were imported from Spain. The Missouri mule may, therefore, be said to have Spanish blood in his veins. It has been suggested that this accounts for the treachery of the animal, but William Jami- son, manager of the horse and mule depart- ment of the National Stock Yards, says the treachery charge is as libelous as the stu- pidity imputation, “There are some bad mules, just as there are some bad people,’’ he says, “‘but there are more bad horses than bad mules, and when a horse is bad it is dangerously vicious. I have been handling mules for 3 years, and I have never been marked by one. The trouble is, everybody likes to pet a horse and abuse a mule. The mule is docile and likes kind treatment, It generally has strong provocation when it does anything mean,” Sparks Bros. now have at their stable at the National Stock Yards next to the larg- est mule ever received there, It Is 19 hands high and weighs 1400 pounds, but could be fattened up to 1800. They also have one of the finest mules ever at the yards. It is 14 hands high and weighs 1400 pounds, and is perfectly proportioned. It has a sleek ccai, which is almost black. Records of the horses and mules received at the yards are not Kept separately. The receipts of both last year were 6,570; the year before, 121,722, and the year before that, 77,820. In 1893 the number was 46,83; in 189), 82,071, and in 187, 27,000. The total receipts so far this year have been 651,043. The receipts at Kansas City for the same period were 21,096. Probably a little more than half of the total receipts were mules. CIGARETTES ARE BANEFUL.

Louls physicians A take issue firmly with. the doctors who declared last week that the cigarette is as harmless as the necessary cat. The symposium presented set the fra- ‘ternity, as well as the laity, to talking, and the cigarette came in for many hard knocks. Dr. T. A. Martin is opposed to cigarettes on the ground that they produce catarrhal ‘trouble. He maintains that their effect on both the young and old is more injurious than cigars. “You will rarely find a cigarette emoker who does not inhale,” he eaid. “Smoke constantly permeating the nasal organs 'deadens their functions and catarrh not in- frequently follows. I have had several cases under my observation of young men who became physical wrecks from the x- cessive use of cigarettes.” Dr. P. D Connolly, vice-president of the Medical League, said: “Thousands have heen cut down in the flower of young man- hood because of cigarette smoking, If not directly the habit has superinduced death by the aggravation of other diseases. “Tt {a a nineteenth centary vice, which there appears no salvation. Crusades inaugurated against the cigarette only stimulate the trade. The harmless looking tobacco, wrapped in paper is Tesponsible for “countless wrecks, Not that there is an Immediate Injury from puffing a cigarettempbut the fatal danger Hes in tnhaling the smoke. “It is almost impossible ettes without smoking them to excess. It is because they contaminate and lead the youth to other and grosser evils that I am e#o vigorously oppose to cigarettes. They induce a desire for optim, cocaine and Other poisonous narcotics. Riddance of them would be a triumph and blessing for humanity.” Dr. Ludwig Bremer places cigars, cigar- etten and tobacco chewing on the same from crisp white physical to amoke cigar- either or all methods is sufficient to shat- ter the nervous system, Cigarettes are used principally by the young because of their mildness, and the habit, once con- tracted, is accompanied with loss of will power, inducing an incapacity to break it. The following extract is from a pamphlet written by Dr. Bremer on ‘*‘Tobacco, In- eanity and Nervousness:” ¢ ‘There is an alarming increase of juvenile eamokers and, basing my assertion on the experience gathered in my private practice and the St. Vincent institution of this city, I will broadly state that the boy who emokes at 7 will take to morphine at ® or 25, and wind up with cocaine and the rest of the narcotics at 30 and later on. “It may look like exaggerating things, but I know whereof I speak when I say that tobacco, when habitually used by the young, leads to a species of imbecility; that the. Juvenile smoker will Me, cheat and steal, which he would not had he let to- bacco alone.” Dr, John C, Mulhall, President of the St. Louls Medical Society, has smoked clear- ettes for ® years. He does not believe them to be harmful to adults, but considers them the bane of American youth, Dr. Mulhall says: “Since the American manufacturer, with his advertising genius, has scattered cigar- over this country, ready-made and very cheap, the habit has growh enormous- ly. Nervaus diseases and insanity are rap- idiv increasing, we are assured by our neu- rologists. Our nation was already noted as furnishing proportionately more neuras- thenics than any other. If to such an {n- heritance American youth then adds the nerve destroying nicotine habit, which the cigarette so materially assists in spreading, there is grave reason to hope that the cry of reform may be echoed and re-echoed throughout our country. There is no such instructor of the public es the press, and I trust that our newspapers will publish broadcast euch information as this concern- ing what is fast becoming a national vice.”’ ettes level, and holds that the constant use of ONE PHYSICIAN'S VIEWS CONCERNING COLDS AND CATARRH, Dr. E.

There was a halk in his heart as big as a silver dollar. Te powerful pulsation of enlarged arteries had also forced an open- ing through the skin and the wounded organ was in plain view. Local physicians said that it was the most remarkable ¢ase of the development of an aneurism ever recorded, and that the patient still lived dfter the enlarged heart had broken was an incident ‘without prece- dent in medical’ science.

LOUIS THIS SPRING lt Amounts Afmost to an Epidemic and Affects Human Beings in Much the Same Manner as Horses Are Affected, éé¢T INK LYE” is the name that has PR been given a disease that Is preva- lent in certain parts of St. Louls. Heretpfore it has been thought that horses had a@ monopoly on this disease, but the human species has added it to its lst of ailments. “T have noticed not a few cases of ‘pink eye’ recently,” said Dr. Willftam F. Kier, * 3609 Lindeil boulevard. “The disease is de- cidecly unpleasant, but not dangerous. In fact it Is but a little more than a form of la grippe and usually results from a bad cold. The cold settles in the eyes and in- flames it, giving it that red and inflamed appearance that is seen in a horse when it has ‘pink eye.’ “The disease might be termed a kind of ‘hybrid measles,’ for It presenta some of the elements of that disease, and yet is not measles. There isa slight eruption, as there ie in the regular measies, but it is confined to the eyes. “ ‘Pink eye,’ the kind St. Loulsans have, is not contagious. It is not epidemic. In fact, there is no epidemic here and in my remembrance there never has been. And, furthermore, I do not believe there ever will be. This city is too healthy to allow any disease to become epidemic. There i¢ no healthier clty in the world than St. Louis. “The treatment for ‘pink eye’ is simple. All I would prescribe la geome light physic and then have the patient drink some good mineral water. Treat {t as you would any bad cold and the trouble will readily yield. The best plan is not have it, though. If one will take care of himself he can guard against la grippe, influenza and the attend- ant ‘pink eye.’ ”’ Dr. Louls N. Temm, Grand avenue and North Market street, is treating a number of cases of “pink eye.” “The disease is not a new one,” he sald, “though I believe there are more cases this season than usual. It alwaya comes to the surface in the spring and fall. It is not serious and frequently accompanies a cold and nearly always followa an attack of ia grippe or influenza, We treat the cold and apply soothing and cooling lotions t6 the inflamed eyes, and the trouble disappears when the cold departa. “No permanent injury was ever done the eyes in any case that ever came under my observation, and even when the eye is ‘pink’ or inflamed the sight Is not im- paired, “I do not consider the dieease contagioua, though I would advise against one drying his face with a towel that had been used by one afflicted with ‘pink eye.’ ” SKIPPING THE ROPE IS DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN. No better exercise than jumping has been diecovered, and the danger is only in the excess in which the devotee sometimes indulges. Dr. William C. Ussery says that fumping the skipping rope is the ideal exercise when practiced in moderation. “It is the typical exercise adopted by athletes as a means to etrengthen their wind and prepare them for feats of endurance,” he @ald. “It increases the oxygen and en- ables oné to stand more without becoming fatigued. By Jumping the rope the respira- tory exertion is tinecreased and the air epaces of the lungs are enlarged and new nir epaces are formed. The lungs expand. When no such exercise ts taken certain parts of the lungs are filled with residual air that is never changed. When one jumps the rape it changes all this air, the circu- lation of the blood ts heightened and the entire| physical bodg is toned up. Every musclé of the body is brought into play and developed. “There ia greater danger in the excess than is apparent. Just what excess ls must [) ‘xe ve lurks in the skipping rope. be determined by common sense. A noted prize fighter Jumped the rope 2°) times @ few days ago without missing a siep.

Vig Asem. tines: “ ee GEOFFREY STAALIG CLAIMS 10 BE AN HETHER Geoffrey Stahlig is a real W African prince or just a clever Guinea negro, Is a question over which sentiment in the vicinity of Twelfth and Morgan streets is somewhat divided, But the multiplicity of opinion is in the fellow’s favor, and marvelous are the tales he tells among his acquaintances. There is certainly something pecullar tn his appearance, his habits and his dialect, for in all three he has not a counterpart in the city of St. Louis. He has acquired all sorts of notoriety among the colored people; likewise a va- riety of nicknames and the reputation of being the cleverest crap-shooter that ever invaded the expert precincts of Twelfth and Morgan. The fellow is much below the medium height, and ha# a hunch of his shoulders that has gained him the universal name of ‘Humpty Jeff.”” He is intensely black, His nose is wide and flat. His under jaw protrudes, his lips are thicker than those of the American negro, and the upper por- tion of his head is flat and narrowed. In fact, if he were tall and straight he would resemble the pictures of the Senegambian negroes who found the kola-nut along the jungled fringes of the Sahara. Geoffrey’s language is almost beyond de- Scription and certainly beyond reproduction. The colored people who know him have agreed that it is a Hebrew dialect, but they are mistaken, It-is more nearly creole, flat{- tened into Italian. “Been long-a time,” he said to a crowd of wondering acquaintances, “since me eata human.”’ In one hand he held a knife, with a big blade sharpened and glistening, and he gave himself a sudden, shuffling jerk and walked away. He does that sort of thing for effect. He was asked to designate the particular section of Africa from which he came. On this point he was rather vague, “Af’ky,’’ was his answer. “But from what part of Africa?” ‘Firs’ fum way indep’. Dere lib in woods. Den down South Af’ky with Dutch ‘n English.

He was asked to repeat the name, which he did several times, always with the same sound, AFRICAN PRINCE. Then he was asea to apell tt. His thick lips parted in a grin, disclosing a row of dirty, sawed-off teeth. “"Me-a no spell,” he said. But for all his apparent fenorance he is cunning, and would be a terrible enemy to confront alone in an uncivilized country. “Been-a in dis country,” he. continned, “eight yeah.

No write-a up in pape no mo’.”’ Whether his marvelous tales of fetish worship, as told to the credulous colored people of Twelfth and Morgan, are trug, Geoffrey has impressed them on not a few of his fellowes, who imagine his various charms bring him luck In the crap games. It ts quite probable he did come from the interior of Africa, and In the course of a rove ing life among English and Dutch @dven- turers drifted to this country. It may be true that his father was a prince among hid people. He has all the attributes of the, tribe known as Diolas, who have flat noses, harsh features and are given much to tattoo. ing.

The game is not old, even in the East. It was introduced in New York largely through the efforts of Theodore Have- meyer, the Sugar Trust magnate. It was something different; it had a weird and wonderful terminology, and although it has been likened by an untutored plebeian to a 10-acre lot, fad in short chasing a quinine pill around it ca@ght on and became a order. strongly for the The quinine pill simile appeals to who sees the game played first time. A full size golf links consiste of 18 holes scattered over half a county. The links at the Country Club is only half size, but the nine holes are distributed over 100 acres of ground and in playing an ordinary game it is ne to make the circuit twice and walk a mniatter miles. Ina one ‘essary small of three a small gutta percha ball around course and into all of the holes. The per- s0n Who accomplishes this with the least number of strokes wins a game. It is easy to understand how it is done, but not nearly SO easy to do it. F On the Country Club links ‘Tee’ No. 1 is located near the clubhouse. A tee is a Slight elevation of the ground, the lines of which are at right angles to the In a box standing by is a bucket of water and a quantity of sand. The player pours a cup of water on the sand, takes a hand- ful of the wet sand and makes a little hillock on the top of which he perches his ball. Stretching away toward the midfield are a series of red flags. Three hundred and forty-five yards away is a “putting green,’ a patch of rolled sod 50 square feet in extent. In the center a small board marks a hole four inches in circum- ference and four inches deep. One thing to be done is to drive the ball 345 yards and into that hole with the least possible number of strokes. course The player takes a ‘‘driver,’’ the longest, most delicately constructed club, and yet when under complete control of the player, the most powerful of the set. If the player is expert he may drive the ball 250 yards. If a “‘single’’ is being played, his opponent whacks his ball from the tee and the game is played stroke for stroke. If it ‘‘foursome,”’ there are two partners on each is a _ »uwer A ~ a — — v wo ft one ne ; JI. oe en Bn RT re oe ee 7 ee _ side and they take turns at hitting the bail, also alternate in striking from the tee. When the ball has been ‘“‘holed” at the first putting green, the players go to the Second tee, a hundred yards to the north, and drive the ball toward the second hole, 248 yards in the direction of the Clayton road. In zigzag directions around the flelé are the other seven holes, at distances re- spectively of 335 yards, 285 yards, 384 yards, 315 yards, 315 yards, 330 yards and 245 yards, The course leads across hills, hollows and fences; and, as though nature had not done tettants COUrse., The rules rible.

It ts als® known as the “bulger driver’’ and the “brassey bulger.” Many experts claim that these clubs send the ball further and with greater accuracy than the flat-faced clus. .

The clubs are carried over the course by a caddie, who also sustains advisory rela- tions to his principals : Last year’s playing developed a number of very fine players among the members of thé club. In the fall tournament James Brook- mire was the winner of the singles, his com* petitor in the final being Charles Scudder. In the foursomes the final was won by Dr. Cushman and Mise Minnie Scott from Fr. W. Oliver and Miss Lee Whittemore. Among some of the other players who qualified for and took part In the tourna- ment were Miss Mary McKittrick, Mise Meysenberg, Miss Scullin, Mra. Charies Scudder, Miss Richards, Miss West, Mr. and Mrs. Dan C. Nugent, T. R. Collins, Dexter Tiffany, Walter McKittrick, How- ard Ettling, M. V. Jones, Samuel C. David and D. H. Clark. Instructor Mack says St. Louts ladies and gentlemen are very anxious to become pro- fictent players, work hard and learn rapid- ly. He prophesies it will not be long be- fore St. Louis amateur players will rank with the best In the country. Mr. Mack was engaged by the club tn Boston last July, and came here under a year’s contract. He has been connected with golf links In this country eight years ja.

He also suggests that as Chicago is the challenging party they have the right to choose the course and want a neutral place.. Negotiations are now in progress, to side, There is a good story going the rounds of Homer Canfield, the new chairman of the State Racing Board. It is a part of that of- ficial’s duty to assign the State champion- ship races, and Mr. Canfield has been busy in making out the list. Of couree St. Joe gets the best, as the State meet will be held there July 4. But the chairman thought that St. Louis should not be slighted in par- out the favors, and so he announced that he had awarded the two-mile cham- pionship to the St. Louis Cycle Racing Asso- ciation to run at the meet Aug. 20 in connection with the national circuit races. Now, there is a rule in the national by- lawe to the effect that State championship races shall be awarded to league clubs only. Here is where the new official put his foot into it. A league club is one which compels all of its members to belong to the League of American Wheelmen and the St. Louis Cycle Racing Association is no club at all, but a company of men who are “‘out for the stuff.”” In other words, Mr. Canfield found out that he had no authority to give the latter a championship race and so has been compelled to Withdraw it. be Missouri is now prepared to offer its members an honor medal and all those who secure five new members between now and next January will receive one. It is sim- llar in design to the one given by the New York division and is well worth having, The South Side Club saved the Missourt Division from another slump last week. The Bulletin showed a gain of one member over the previous week, making the total l4. Nine applications were reported and five of these were from the South Sides. At least we did not lose last week, and that is more than can be said for many previous weeks, Secretary Basset tells us that only 44 members. whose membership expired April 1, have renewed. The same number is credited’ to ‘Minnesota and the latter State has a total of but 6 members. That is a nice comparison. We have over 1200 and only show the same number of re- newals that the smaller division does. I wonder what we are coming to, President Isaac BR. Potter of the L. A. W. is running a race with Chief Consul] Lucas of the Missouri Division in regard to the appointment, or rather the non-appointment, of committees. President Potter was elected in February and to date has appointed the Racing Board and the chairmén of the Highway Improvement and the Rules and Regulations Committees. The other mem- bers of these two committees have not yet been appointed, Then there are the Trans- portation and the Rights and Privileges Committees, of which.not even the chair- men have been appointed. Chef Consul lucas Wag elected Jast December and to date has appointed a chairman of his State Racing Board, and not a single other com- mitteeman. I know that “Rome was not built in a day,” but 1 know tkat more im- portant officers have been ap nted in less time, and I know that the e° tirs of both the national and local bod would Im- down by President Potter for his con- nection with the ‘‘short track’’ scandal, again connected with the American Cycle Racing Association. Batchelder was handi- capper and a meenber of the association when the short track affair occured. Hea was given his choice to retire from office or to sever his connection with the racing association. He stated before the last na- tional assembly that he had done the lat- ter, but he was reappointed, however, and now that he is out of office has announced that he is again connected with the A.

Entry blanks may be obtained by addressing box 65, Newark, N. d. After to-day I am going to abandon the attempt to smoke the United Wheeling Clubs out of their holes. I have inquired hither and thither for some sign of them, without success, and no programme of their doings seems to be forthcoming. I thought that they would figure largely in the con- trol of the sport locally this year, as their chief opponents, the Associated Cycling Clubs, expired last season. And then, too, they have, or rather had, the chance to run the Forest Park road race, but the latter date is now too near, and the famous event may be considered abandoned for good and all. But there are other things tha lv. W. C. m'eht turn its hand to, though it does not appear that it is going to do it. If the organ{zation is alive I shall be glad to hear it, and will aid it all I can in its work, but I am not going to take up any more space in an endeavor to bring it to light. Unless it makes some sign of life shortly I am done with it. THE REFEREE.

Mr. Herman, the bridegroom, is a Har- vard graduate, and one of the most bril- Hant young lawyers in where he will continue the practice of his profession when he and his bride return from their wedding journey.

Miss Brown is not only a witty, pretty -and tactful girl, but the most delightful of hostesses, and the of this affair Was no noveity to her or her guests. Cov- ers were laid for 21 guests, and the table Was a symphony in pink and white. The central decorations, tenderly symbolic of the approaching wedding ceremony, were two large hearts of pink and white carna- tions, linked together and pierced by an arrow of lilies of the valley. The chandelier over the table was garlanded with smilax and bridal ribbon, and at each place was laid a cluster of bridemaid roses and lilies of the valley.

The Greek Ethics Club’s Name, HI Greek Ethics Club! Some intelll- i} gent person who “wants to khow’" has asked why this organization is Called a “Greek Ethics” club, when it meets for the express purpose of discussing the works of one William Shakspeare. The reply would seem to be obvious, | The club is misnamed. It is true that the club Was originally organized for the study of Greek ethics, and all the lectures were upon this subject. But later there was a reor- ganization and upon ab almost unanimous vote it was decided to take up a study of the Shakspearean pluys. And, like Thack- eray’s “Fortnightly” magazine, the club had become so well known under its first name that no change was made in the title, even when “sald title’ means ab- solutely nothing to the uninitiated. The Greek Ethics Club held an Intensely interesting meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock in their rooms at the Museum of Fine Arts, where they assemble weekly. The analytical study of “The Merchant of Venice” was brought to a close, Miss An- nie Bacon, Miss Sara Tower, Mrs. Charles Moss, Miss Peabody and Miss Kayser tak- ing part in the discussion. Among the audience were Mmes. Ed Fowler, Albert Loth, William Lewis, J. C. Andrews, Lockwood, Henry Elliott, Frank Lee, George Cunningham, George Leigh and Misses Elia Cochran, Julia Dodge, Anne Scott, Irene Bond, Anna Spencer and Kath- eryn Thompson.

The discussiotw for the morning was Henry Cabot Lodge's ‘‘History of the Unit- ed States.’ and the pleasanter feature of its discussion was the of Trenton and the death of Rhal, thea Great Hessian General, told by one of the cleverest women in the club. Toward the end of the meeting, the conversation touched upon the Iiife of TAncoln, Mrs. Wale entertained the la- dies with a graphic deseription of Lin- coln's funeral, which she attended, being @ little girl at schoo! in Washington, D, story of the battle when of interest was also excited ft & discusgion of Wackott's “Workers,” 2 tie a > aw which {fs now running tn | ev of the periodicals, r pet cata we Among the ladies who participatea in the table talk were Mrs. Randolph Hutchin- s0n, Mrs. Sarah Mason, Mrs. Charles Palms, Miss Marie Scanlan, Miss Lizzie Green, Mrs. J.

The chairs used by the par- ticipants in the cottillon were arranged in the form of a horseshoe in the far end of the ballroom. At 9 o’clock, when all of the guests—one hundred and six in number—had arrived, the first figure of the german was called, and the orchestra ttruck up a lively Sousa march. Mrs. Phil Tompkins, who was formerly Miss Mimi Bryan, led alone, and ag she is an exceeding graceful dan- cer and always the chosen leader of the Kirkwood cotil- lons, there was not a single hitch in the entire affair, The initial figure began by the dancers marching in a cir. cle around the whole ballroom, and finally winding in a spiral until the leaders, ‘Miss Hallie Hough and Mr, E.

Revolution, HE Daughters of the who are noted for the many de- lightful social entertainments they have given 6ince the organization of their chapter In St. Louis, were given an elegant reception Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. J. W. Hill, at her beautiful home on Delmar bou- Jevard. Nearly all of the loca] chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution were in at- tendance as well as a large number of “colonial dames.” Every poss ble effort had been made to insure the success of the af- fair and indeed a prettier or more enjoyable reception has not taken place this season. Mrs. Hill, who is one of the officers of the organization, Was assisted in receiving by five of the most prominent women in so- ciety, Mrs. George Shields, Mrs. Randolph Hutchinson, Mrs. Mary Polk Winn, Mrs, H. M. Spencer and Mrs, Western Bascome. Mrs. Ballard, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Sterne, Mrs. Hofman, Mrs. Elbrecht, Mrs. Smith, and Misses Mellon, Zeigler, Newell and Mc- Cash. Minstrels and Cakewalk in Kirkwood. IRKWOOD society is having the live- kK liest kind of a time, and the young peopie have been outdoing each other in attempts to make all the recent and forthcoming events notable in every respect. The event of this week in the pretty lit- tle town will be the cakewalk and minstre] performance which comes off Friday even- ing at the Armory Hall. Part one of the entertainment will be a regular minstrel performance, with Mr. Will Tompkins as middleman and Dan Barstow, Sam Will- iams, Leone Gale, Percy Kingdon, Laselle Tracey, Smith Green and another, an un- known man, as end men. The Kirkwood Mandolin Club will pro- vide the music. Rehearsals are now going on at the rate of two every 20 minutes and doubtless the show will be worth three ad- missions and a 50-mile car ride per head. The darky songs to be 6ung are all entirely new, and the jokes are fresh and sparkling variations of the Original Thirty-nine. It is said that one of Dan Barstow’s new coon songs has to be practiced just before Clarkson, Mrs. Cullen Battle and Mrs. Har- rison Drummond. Misses Marie Overstolz and Adele Dittman presided at the punch bowl and Misses Katheryn Overstolz and Lotta’ Klemm served the cafe frappe. The drawing room, library and dining room, with their brilliant decorations, formed a harmonious setting for the hand- somely gowned throngs of society women in attendance. As the Baroness de Minotto is an Austrian by birth, the decorations were partly yellow and black, the colors of her native country. The receiving party stood beneath an orienta] canopy made of Austrian flags and surmounted by the Austrian coat-of-arms. The windows were all draped with gsatin American flags, looped back by gilt cords. The thandeliers were wreathed with smilax and ribbons in the national colors of Aus- tria and the United States, and in the en- trance hall festoons of ribbon were draped between the chandeliers at the near and far ends of the corridor. In the dining room the big bay window was hung with silken American flags and ropes of emilax. The chandelier was gorgeous with row after row of smaller flags looped together by yards and yards of yellow, and black rib- bon. In the center of the table was an oval bank of yellow carnations and jon- quils arranged on a stand covered with a ane rn tre me ahh pred: ". byte ag Mrs. H. W.

By the unsolicited, the unpurchased, the voluntary statements of cured people who live right around you, By such testimony as has never been published in the support of any practice or method or medicine, or in support of any cause in the world whatsoever, by acurrent of testimony sustained through all these years, from your own home people whom you could easily see, these coluumns have been telling vou all these years that Doctors Copeland and Thompson can cure you. If you are an Asthmatic and suffer with- out relief from tortures that only the Asth-- matic can describe, If you are racked with cough, or broken with chills and fever and night sweats and emaciation, and despair as only those de- Mrs. nary G.

You can visit this newspaper office. You can look back over the files of this news- dresses given in these columns—a few of them, enough to satisfy you that the testi- mony is true; visit them; talk with them. In aword, find out by visiting and seeing people whe have testified TO CURES‘OF DISEASE LIKE YOURS, that Doctors Copeland and Thompson can cure you—could have cured you any time during these years. Find that through all these years and through all this vast accumulation of testt- mony the golden current of truth has run and in the matin the testimony has been absolutely true. That so far as human testimony could be without flaw this testimony ‘has told you the simple truth, has told you why Doctors Copeland and Thompson are better qualified to treat these diseases than any other phy- siclans. That so faras human testimony could be without flaw this testimony has been without flaw. Mistakes and inadvertences may have at times crept in. Human testimony could no more be abso- lutely perfect than man could be absolutely without sin. A good man will have faults, but he is a good man all the same, because the gen- eral purpose of his life and tendency of his character is good. Human testimony may contain mistakes (always does), but, all the same, it may be gloriously and wonderfully true, because the essential part of it is true, because the whole purport and tendency of it is true, because the manifest purpose of its ex- pression is true. Does it not stand to reason that tes- mony that for ten years has challenged and asked the attention of such a com- munity as this must be absolutely true ? 3ut pardon us, there are other reasons why this is all true, and why you should have realized it before. ‘There are other pressing reasons why you should not have gone on and suffered and been a burden to those who love you and to whom you should be a help. There are other pressing reasons why you should have read these columns and why you should read them now.

Ringing Words of Cured Patients. A. M. Allew, 2700 Pine street: ‘For some time I had been deaf in both ears and was also bothered with noises in the head. I couldn’t hear a watch tick nor even the loud ticking of a clock, which is in my room. When any one spoke to me in an ordinary tone of voice, I heard the sound, but did not understand what was sald. I could not attend to business. I gave up work entirely and devoted my time to: obtaining a cure. Under the treatment of one doctor I got worse all the time. Then I read In the papers of the cures by Doctor Copeland, and went to him for treatment, with the result of a perfect restoration of my hearing.”’ William Deiken, 109 South Fifteenth street: “‘Nine years ago deafness began in my left ear and finally the ear became Stone deaf. There was a constant buz- zing sound in my head that annoyed me terribly and disturbed my sleep. I read of the wonderful cures of deafness that Doctor Copeland was performing, and Placed myself under his treatment. I am thankful that I did so. My hearing is restored. When I say that my hearing is entirely restored I mean that an ear that was stone deaf, an ear that could not receive any sound, has been restored _. to Its normal, natural condition. To-day my hearing is as acute, as delicate and fas perfect as it ever was in my life.” Mrs. Matilda Thalinger, 1808 Arsenal street: “I had been deaf in both ears for years, and this was accomplished by noises in the head like the sound of escap- ing steam. My deafness was caused from an attack of la grippe. I was so deaf that I could not hear the street cars pass my home. In order for me to hear anyone it weg t40eSSary for them to shout very loud- ly «twit in my ear, and when people spoke « me in ordinary tones I could see their lips moving; but could not hear a sound. I consulted Doctor Copeland in regard to my deafness and after an examination os my ears he told me that I could be cured if I followed the treatment properly. He has cured me perfectly, and I can now hear as well as I ever did in my life.”’ ee ee Miss Emma Fleming, 3505 Lindell av- enue: “For eight years I suffered with deatness, which Kradually became worsa and worse until I had to quit teaching Bchool, A severe attack of la grippe caused my deafness. I did not dare go on the street without some one accompanied me. I faithfully and conscientiously fol- lowed the course prescribed for months, and though soenetimes I became a little disheartened, yet I never gave up hope, and now my expectations are fully real- _ized, for the Copeland physicians have treated me with perfect success. My re- etered hearing is a grand reward for tha time and small expense I have given ta the cure, and reflects tthe highest credit on the ability and skill of the Copeland physicians.”’ oO ere ee B. L. Swarting, 1618 Carr street: “When I went to Doctor Copeland for treatment I was bothered a great deal With noises in the head, ‘Tinnitus Aurtum.’ as the doctors call {t. A pecullar thing about my case was that I was troubled with these nolses a long time before I[ understood their real nature. When I heard noises like the sound of escaping ffeam, I thought I heard the noises from ean engine, and when the sound was like the distant pounding of a hammer I thought the hammering was going on somewhere In the neighborhood.

There was always a sense of pressure in the stomach. The result of this was that 1 was all run down and tired all the time. Doctor Copeland cured me perfectly.

This sum would build 4000 miles of thoroughly good mac- adam road, sufficiently wide for rural pur- poses. Exper'ments made in the Missourt Agri- cultural Experiment Station show that In ‘nearly all road conditions, broad-tired wag- ons pull easier than those with narrow tires. On a macadam road a load of 2511 pounds can be hauled on broad tires with the same draught as a load of 200 pounds on narrow ones. On gravel road, except when wet and sloppy on top, the draught of the broad-tired wagon !s much less than that of the narrow-tired wagon; a load of 2482 pounds can be hauled on broad tires with the draught required for 200 pounds on narrow tires. The trials on dirt roads give varying re- sults. When it is dry, hard and free from dust, 2530 pounds can be hauled on broad tires with the draught required for 2000 pounds on narrow tires. When the sur- face is covered with two or three inches of dry, loose dust, the results are unfavor- able to the broad tire.

Little household matters work me up so that I don't know what I am saying or doing.” » ‘This extract from one of the letters to Mrs. Pinkham, describes the condition of many women. The relation of woman's nerves to the womb and its dependencies is very close. Nine-tenths of the nervous despondency and _ irrita- bility in women arises from some trouble with the organs that make her a woman. Nothing will relieve this distress- ing condition so surely as Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; it soothes, strengthens, heals and tones up the delicate female organism. Mrs. Pinkham invites you to write. her for advice. You can tell every detail of your illness to her because she is a woman—anyway it is better to address a woman, for a man does not understand simply because he is a man. Here are two letters from women who wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, followed her ad- vice, and are now well and happy: Mrs. W. L. ELLIOTT, @ of Liscomb, lowa, writes: Dear Mrs. Prnxuam :—I doctored nearly all the time for two years. I spent several hundred dollars without receiv- ing much benefit.

He lived on a Clark's Creek, overlooking judge of high bluff He was a rare ifuman nature. and soon learned the men in White County he could trust. He had no trouble in organizing his band, and for several years they pursued ‘the'r depreda- tions with but jittle interference. Turner gathered around him a dozen fear- less young men, but at different times about twenty men belonged to the organigation.

All of these young men ‘belong to respectable families In Wright County, and a strong effort is being made to prevent their conviction. idenry Turner, being the leader, placed on trial first. Wright County law- vers had so long been intimidated by this band of marauders that none of them would assist in the prosecution. County Attorney S. T. Pope finally secured the services of Perry T. Allen, a young lawyer of Spring- field, Mo., and Turner was convicted, On the evening of March 13 a jury sen- tenced him to five years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Then came the strange conduct of Green Barnes and the murder of Turner. the progress of the trial Barnes lo@fing around the Courthouse in a drunkén condf:ion.

The theory at first advanced that Barnes was insane has been dissipated in the minds of many who recall former events in his life. Several yeare ago he was suspected of hav- ing drugged and tried to rob Rodney Ramey, an old farmer, living in White County. It was plain that the man had been drugged, and a nephew of Ramey discovered Barnes in the act of rifling the farmer's pockets. A fight ensued, in the counse of which Barnes was badly disfigured. Less than a week after that time the elder Ramey died mysteriously. It is now believed by many in White County that Barnes murdered Rodney Ramey; that Henry Turner knew something about the crime, and that his life was taken because of that knowledge. The developments at Barnes’ trial are be- ing awaited by residents of White County with eager interest. The other members of the Clark Creek gang are waiting for their trials.

When Fitzsimmone defeated Corbett and the latter asked for a return battle Fitz- simmons named four men that Corbett must fight before asking for another trial. These four were Maher, Choynskti, God.- dard and Jackson. He-said nothing at the time about Sharkey, Jeffries, Ruhlin and McCoy os The four last named have come to the front rapidly this year and. there are those who now think.that Sharkey and Jeffries are about the best men living. Sharkey and Jeffries have in fact taken eure of the four men named by Fitzsim- mons. The sailor hus defeated Goddard, practically defeated Choynski, and has made a “stand off’? with Peter Maher. Jeft- ries Nas defeated Jackson and Goddard, has drawn with Choynski and is matched to box Maher. , Inecide ntally Maher is about the only one of the “old guard’’—not even Fitzsimmons excepted—who is theught to be as good as he was a couple of veirs ago. He has been a While before the public, and even should he succeed in winning the championship, say within & year, he wou!d tn the natural order of things be compelled to relinquish it again before any considerable length of time had elapsed. Maher will be as «tale 18 months from now es Goddard, Jackson and Choynski are to-day. “Youth will be served,’ and it must be patent to any reasoning man that Sharkey. Jeffries, Ruhlin and McCoy are clos. ng in on the championship to the exclusion of men whose names have resounded through the length and breadth of sportdom during the past ten years. Corbett and Fitzsimmons, if they do not get a move on, will soon be lost sight of as pugilists, The new faces that have come into the arena to take their places are live, progres- sive fellows, and just now the eyes of the pusgilistic world is on them. In a very few days Jeffries and Sharkey will meet and Ruhin and McCoy will come together. Later the winners of these two bouts will be matched, and it is safe to say the victor in this final bout will be hailed champion of the world, and Corbett and Fitzsimmons w']] be lost sight of for good. Not much is heard nowadays about the 20-round glove contest to take place at Louisville hetween Boh Douglas and Aus- tralian Jimmy Ryan on May 4.

The latter is the boy who fought Harry Sharpe in the longest battle Within the recollection of the present fol- lowers of the boxing game. Since that fight but little has been heard of Crosby. He is stil to be now.well heeled and his friends fav he never goes in the ring except for toe fun and the exercise it affords him. riint, by the way, is getting along nicely a. Aton, at night teaching the youngsters up there how to box and tin the daytime working at his trade of blacksmith. lyespite all rumors to the contrary Gus Iiuhiin and Kid MeCoy are getting ready for their meeting in the roped arena. Billy Madden and his protege, Gus Ruhlin, quit the read last night and Ruhlin will now go into training for his battle with the Kid. The latter is at Cambridge Springs and i: already in active training there. In rela- tion to the offer from Memphis of a purse of $7500 for the Ruhlin-McCow fight on April 29, Billy Madden-.said tNat he would aceept the offer of the club, providing they will allow $300 for expenses and post the full mmount of the purse at once with Harry Weldon of the Cincinnat! Enautrer. In the event they will not do so O'Rourke's offer for Svracuse on May 20 will hold good. Madden would rather fignt on May 2, be- cause Ruhlin would have ample time to get into form,- but rather than have the con- test fall through will watve the lack of time for training and accept the Memphis offer, with George Siler as referee. Mr. Madden did not want it underst god that he asked anything unreasonable tn’requesting that the entire amount be posted. fe said was a matter of business onlv and he not like to drop the Syracuse offer if was the least uncertainty about the Memphis offer. As the Memphis parties are not likely to post any such large amount it is pretty certain the fight will take place in -Syracuse on May 2, as. originally scheduled. Dan Creedon, the St. Louis boxer, has left Chicago and gone to West Baden Sprines. He has gone there to try and boil the tameness out of his sore arm, and the result of the treatment he is to receive there will determine whether he will con- tinue in the ring. In his recent bout with Rilly Stift. at Chicago, Dan used his left hand almosrt exclusively, and this led to the convlusion, that it was his right arm that was injured while he was training with Choyneki for his fight with McCoy. Creeden, however, did his feinting with the left in order to deceive Stift, and whenever he'd land with it the pain was distracting. Those who knew Creedon’s condition were ~ not deceived, After an examination by a physician it was decided that the arm could be fixed up again, and it Is belleved by Creedon'’s friends that the trip to West Ba- den will make- a_new man of this popular and clever middleweight. +. ------- --—--—~ THE ST.

Se ee WILL RUN UP ALL HIS HORSES. A Very Lively Battle of Words Takes Place Between These Owners in | Front of a Judges’ Stand. Reside the war between the United States and Spain, the American turfmen are now having a little war of their own. John W. Schorr has taken a page out of | President McKinley’s policy manual and | has gone Into the ultimatum business. The new departure was brought about by “Umbrella MecGuigan’s run-up of Sea Lion tn the Gayoso Hotel Stakes, decided last Thursday at Memphis. The race had the selling clause included in the conditions and Schorr had Sea Lion tn for $90. The colt won and McGuigan boosted him $300. Schorr saw the raise and kept the colt. Judge Clark had scarcely gotten off the usual formula, “Sold to the owner,”” when Schorr brought a broadside to bear upon McGuigan with the remark: “You should not run my horses up. I saved you from being ruled off at Little Rock and you robbed me of $500." McGuigan replied, ‘he would run up any horse he had a mind to.” Schorr then de- livered his ultimatum, which was that in future every McGuigan horse returned : winner In a selling race would be booste¢ by himself or his agents. Judge Clark called both men down, and McGuigan later in the day handed in a written protest against Schorr’e implied threat. The matter will go to the Turf Congress Board of Appeals, and to use Judge Clark's somewhat sententious and involved remark, “one man is just as much entitled to pro- tection as the other.”’ —_— = 0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-0 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-20-0-0-0) The acrimonious. outbreak of Thursday was simply the culmination of the scarcely concealed hostile feeling which has existed between the Schorr and McGuigan camps since that day in April, 1897, when Me- Guigan’s Lexington Pirate finished second to Schorr’s Timemaker at Little Rock, and the latter was run up $00 by W. B. Stringer. The way of it angered Schorr more than the cost of it. Stringer had an option on Lexington Pirate and asked McGuigan to allow the stiff-legzgéed son of imp. Pirate of Penzance to run in his (Stringer’s) name in the race named. McGuigan consented, and Stringer engineered the boost which cost Schorrr $56. The run-up money was paid to the Little Rock Jockey Club, the association of course retained one-half and the remaining moiety went, so Schorr says, When John M. Gracie, the President of the Little Rock Club, was asked about the location of the money he diplomatically re- plied: “The association holas a receipt for the half accruing to the second horse, but I must decline to forecas: the final’ resting Schorr does not hesitate to say that Me. Guigan was the beneficiary, and it is a mat- ter of common knowledge tha: when Schorr protested the payment and asked for Me- (;uigan'’s banishment from the turf the um- brella chieftain’s chums went to Schorr and was a year ago, and Schorr is still minus the casn., The much-discussed division of the Schorr stable ‘s now an assured fact. Charlie Pat- terson has left Memphis for New York with will campaign for the Memphis brewer at the New York Jockey Club tracks. Patter- son's string, which includes Ornament and May Hempstead, will make up in quality lacks in quantity. Patterson Is of the opinion that May Hemps'‘ead is the hes.tate to say that she showed him better resul's in her work last January than Ham- burg, Ornament, Suisun or any other thor- oughhbred he has ever handled did at the corresponding age. Patterson's quintette of horses will be good ones to have on one’s side the coming campaign. George Walker, who up to dgte, has trained re Schorr stable, will go to ; lx with/ the Inaugural candidate, r; tie derby winner, Lieber Karl: 3.yeaT-olds Cathedral and Sea Lion, have seven stake liabilities each at Louis Fair Grounds track and half a dozen shifty selling platers, Master Johnnie Schorr will take the remaining and try his apprentice hand as a trainer at the Kentucky and Lake County Track. George Walker has proved to be Schorr’s best investment in the racing in- Walker came from Canada. where brother had charge of the Seagram Walker was J. E. Cushine’'s fore- man when the split between Schorr and the Minneapolis giant occurred. “You have saddled me with all these horses.’ said Schorr when the diviston took place, “but how am I to train them, You “Yes, you shall have Walker.” answered the hig-hearted turfman. Walker went with Schorr.and the latter's lucky angel got in his first licks for the Memphian brewer. | M. S. Apperson will be Col.

BIG WAR ON THE TURF, — —_ OF UMBRELLA BILL M’GUIGAN, WILL RUN UP ALL HIS HORSES. A Very Lively Battle of Words Takes Place Between These Owners in Front of a Judges’ Stand. Reside the war between the United States and Spain, the American turfmen are now | ' having a little war of their own. John W. Schorr has taken a page out of | President McKinley's policy manual and has gone Into the ultimatum business. The new departure was brought about by “Umbrella’ MeGuigan’s run-up of Sea Lion tn the Gayoso Hotel Stakes, dec'ded last Thursday at Memphis. The race had the selling clause included in the conditions and Schorr had Sea Lion tn for $90. The colt won and McGuigan boosted him $300. Schorr saw the raise and kept the colt. Judge Clark had scarcely gotten off the usual formula, “Sold to the owner,”’ when Schorr brought a broadside to bear upon McGuigan with the remark: “You should not run my horses up. I saved you from being ruled off at Little Rock and you robbed me of $500.” McGuigan replied, ‘‘he would run up any horse he had a mind to.”’ Schorr then de- livered his ultimatum, which was that in future every McGuigan horse returned a winner in a selling race would be boosted by himself or his agents. Judge Clark called both men down, and McGuigan later in the day handed in a_ written protest against Schorr’e implied threat. The matter will go to the Turf ¢ ongress Board of Appeals, and to use Judge ¢ lark’s somewhat sententious and involved remark, “one man is just as much entitled to pro- tection as the other.’’ The acrimonious outbreak of Thursday was simply the culmination of the scarcely concealed hostile feeling which has existed between the Schorr and McGuigan camps since that day in April, 1897, when Me- Guigan’s Lexington Pirate finished second to Schorr’s Timemaker at Little Rock, and the latter was run up $00 by W. B. Stringer. The way of it angered Schorr more than the cost of it. Stringer had an option on Lexington Pirate and asked McGuigan to allow the stiff-leggéd son of imp. Pirate of Penzance to run in his (Stringer’s) name in. the race named. McGuigan consented, and Stringer engineered the boost which cost Schorrr $55. The run-up money was paid to the Little Rock Jockey Club, the association of course retained one-half and the remaining moiety went, so Schorr says, When John M. Gracie, the President of the Little Rock Club, was asked about the location of the money he diplomatically re- plied: “The association holas a receipt for the half accruing to the second horse, but recast the final resting ’ ’ piace of the money. Schorr does not hesitate to say that Mc.- Guigan was the beneficiary, and it is a mat- protested the payment and asked for Me- (;uigan’s banishment from the turf the um- brella cnieftain's chums went to Schorr and they would see he got his monéy back. This was a year ago, and Schorr is still minus the cash. The much-discussed division of the Schorr stable {s now an assured fact. Charlie Pat- terson has left Memphis for New York with for the the New York Jockey brewer at tracks. Patter- Memphis Club will make up in quality lacks in quantity. Patterson is of the opinion that May Hemps'‘ead is the greatest filly of the decade, and he does not hes.tate to say that she showed him better results in her work last January than Ham- burg, Ornament, Suisun or any other thor- oughhred he has ever handled did at the corresponding age. Patterson's quintette of horses will be good ones to have on one’s side the coming campaign. May Hempstead, George Walker, who up to dgte, has Louis with the Inaugural candidate, Timemaker; the derby winner, Lieber Karl: 2-year-olds Cathedral and Sea Lion, have seven stake liabilities each at Louis Fair Grounds track and half dozen shifty selling pliaters. Master Johnnie Schorr will take the remaining horses and try his apprentice hand as a George Walker has best investment in dustry. Walker came from Canada, where his brother had charge of the Seagram Walker was J. KE. Cushine’s fore- when the split between Schorr and Minneapolis giant occurred, “Vou have saddled me with all these horses.’ said Schorr when the diviston took place, “but how am I to train them, You never let me have Walker.’’ “Yes, you shall have Walker.” answered the hig-hearted turfman. Walker went proved to be Schorr’s the racing tn- ‘ a. man 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-000000000006 Do Yo J Victoria Cut-Under Surrey, worth for “ee @e#0280 ©8@ @@ ew ee eee eevee er eee eer ee eee S Cut-Under Surrey, “accaess «2m eee 1 Clesed-Top Doct worth $225, for . 2 Closed-Top Doctors’ worth $185, for . 2 Very Stylish Sin worth $150, for . .

Copyric’ Vv. 1898, LONDON, April 23.—The American liner Paris is probably many hundred miles beyond the reach of any Spanish boat that may have been lying in wait for her, if indeed at any time her seizure was contemplated. The Post-Dispatch correspondent received the following dispatch from Hurst Cas- tle Signal Station at the entrance of the Solent where the Paris must have been seen had she returned to the Isle of Wight as reported to-day: “The Paris passed here outward bound about 3 o’clock Friday afternoon and has not been seen here since.”’ This authentic dispatch taken in conjunction with the fact she was signaled as having passed the Lizard, 11:28 p. m. Friday shows that there !{s no foundation for the circumstantial statements published concerning her alleged return. A report that she had been captured was current Friday night before the hour she was signaled off the Lizard and it is now plain the whole story is a fabrication. She has not returned to the Isle of Wight or to any other English port and if she were a prize to-day there would be no means of knowing the fact unless she were sighted at sea in company of a Spanish cruiser, which is not alleged, or until she were brought into a Spanish port. Capt. Watkins knew *the danger of capture and before starting he offered the passengers the option of going ashore and getting their money refunded, but this sug- gestion was received with good humored ridicule. Judging by the temper of the passengers, especially the ladies, when leaving Southampton they will be decidedly disappointed if the voyage passes without an ad- venture of some kind. Capt. Watkins’ plan is to keep well in shore until the British Isles are cleared, then to make his coarse wide of the ordinary beaten Atlantic route. The story that the Paris had been captured created tremendous excitement through- out England. It went through various phases during the day. First it was she had been captured, then that she put back into Yarmouth Roads, Isle of Wight, and finally that she had put in Totland Bay on the coast of the same island. The officials of the company cheeringly maintained all day that the Paris was at least 200 miles west of the Lizard at the time she was reported captured. IN CAMP ON. LYTLE HILL. , A a 4 Gen.

FATHER DORNEY TO JOIN THE BIG FLEET. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHARLESTON, April 23.—Father Maurice J. Dorney, pastor of St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, Chicago, to-day secured a com- mission from the United States Govern- ment as chaplain, and will leave Monday to join the fighting men with Capt. Robley ID. Evans on the battleship Iowa in front of Havana. Father Dorney is widely known throughout this country and Ire- Father Dorney was temporary chairman of the Philadelphia convention at wh.ch the Irish National League of America was or- ganized, and it was he who carried over to London and delivered to Mr. Labouchere and Sir Charles Russell, now Lord Chief Justice of England, the original letter writ- ten by Piggott, which proved the latter to have forged the letters which he introduced in testimony at the Parnell trial. The let- ters carried by Father Dorney completely overthrew the London Times’ case against Parnell, and the day after their itroduction Piggott ran away to Spain, where a day or two later he committed suicide. The letters thus delivered so timely had been for years in the possession of Hon. Patrick Egan, who was the treasurer of the Land League in Ireland, and who subse- quently became a citizen of the United States and served as our Minister to Chilli under the Administration of President Har- & rison. When Mr. Egan discovered that the }° leters which he had would completely over- throw the London Times case and vindicate Parnell he hurried to Chicago and requested Alexander Sullivan, formerly President of the Irish Nationa] League, to select some one to bear the precious safety to London. Mr. Sullivan's selection was Father Dorney. The result showed how well he estimated the fidelity of the | loyal priest, who is about to enter try’s service. Capt. Evans was in command in Val- paraiso during the exciting times when | Minister Egan showed his mettle, and it soldiers and the is thought that one of the results of the ee formed is Fat) r Dorney’s assignment at this time to Capt. Evans’ battleship, the Iowa. . FEATHERS OF GREAT PRICE. Rare Plunder From Birds—A Few Aigrettes Worth 5,283,600 Reis. | From the New York Mail and Express, | Many curious things go through the ap- praisers’ stores, and some of the most in- teresting through the Fifth Division, where millinery goods are examined and appraised. All sorts of birds and feathers are examined by the division. Within a few days several large boxes were examined, each containing something like 500 stuffed paroquets. A box was opened this week in which it was es- timated there were nearly 3000 Japanese swallows. These little birds are caught by the Japanese in immense numbers by means of nets. Their plumage is very plain, bur their wings, which are extraordinar. ly long, make them especially valuable to milliners. The birds when imported are rudely stuffed With cotton, and each one is made up into a little roil about the size and shape of an ordinary cigar. Before being used they the tw.sted into various shapes and dyed, the wings spread and new feathers added, and moe are made into gay and fancy birds. rhe most valuable kind of feather goods that passes through the appraiser’s hands is undoubtedly the aigrette. This feather is worth more than its weight in gold. The algrette is obtained from a bird called the egret, found in China, Japan, Egypt and South America, and sometimes in Floritda. _ Some of these feathers some directly from ‘South America, where, along the upper waters of the Amazon, the Indians shoot the birds with blow tubes and small arrows. But Paris is the market of the wrold for aigrettes, just as London is for ostrich plumes, and the greatest of the imports come directly from the French capital. Within the past two months algrettes to the | value of $30,000 have been {mported. There are two varieties of the aigrette, the long and the short, and their value {« in inverse proportion to thetr size. The short which ts obtained from a smalier | bird, is extremely delicate and fine, and is | worth from $22 to $25 an ounce. Only a féw feathers on each bird are valuable, and it !s ‘es.cimated that §® or @ birds would have to be killed to obtain an ounce of the emalier algrette. The long algrette ts worth not! much more than haif as much. These feathers are looked after as care- the appraisers as are precious they are examined. They are invoiced in the Brazilian unit of value, reis, which !# very small, so that figures giving the values of the imports are often star'lingly large. One ‘importation of these feathers was recently invoiced to the value of 5,233.400 rels, an amount which in American gold is equal to | about $100. Dne Yankee Gir] Safe. From the Boston Globe.

A shade of displeasure overshadowed the girl's face as the messenger dashed away, and she said: “Why do you keep the contents of that note Cd from me that am destined to be your wife’ Metrutio Mortimer did not answer at first, for he dared not tell the truth. Then a welcome thought came to him—he would tell a lie. “Oh.” he said, “it was nothing of consequence —only an invitation to Dr. Depew to join me ina cross-country run in Hoboken.” Then he moved two chairs together and turned the lamp down.

In order to in- sure the success of this great project The World has secured the co-operation of the six most famous chefs in Amer- ica. They are Charles Ranhofer, of Del- monico’s; Adrian Tenu, of the Waldort- Astoria; Xenophon Kuzmier, of the Sa- voy; Leon Surdez, of the Manhatfan; Gustav Becker, of the Holland House, and Henri Belot, of Sherry’s. These men, who are at. the head of their profession and whose reputation is world-wide, are most heartily In ac- cord with The World in its determinat:on to elevate the standard of cookery in this country. In order to more com- pletely carry out the plan they have formed an alliance which will be known as the New York Worlus College of Chefs. As the faculty of a college they will discuss the various ramifications of the subject of cookery which will from time to time be brought before them, and they will express their views for the benefit of the readers of the New York World. these things: They will hold a weekly meeting for the discussion and preparation of The World's project.

They will through the New York World answer the questions of its readers on culinary subjects, which will be of inestimable value to the American housewife. ‘ CHARLES RANHOFER, who for nearly forty years has presided over the culinary department of Delmonico’s, and has made that cuisine one of the best in all the world, is the acknowl- edged king of chefs in America, He has written the one book—‘The Epicurean” —Whick stands as the unquestioned authortty on all culinary matters. Noth- ing else approaching it has ever been published here. Mr. Ranhofer was edu- cated in his art in Paris, and made an enviable reputation for himself in that city before he came here. He came to New York in 1861 and took charge of Delmonico’s cuisine, over which he has presided ever since ADRIAN TENU, chef of the Waldorf- Astoria, has for many years been one of the acknowledged leaders in his profes sion. For several years M. Tenu was at the head of the cuisine of the cele- brated Brunswick Hotel. He has also been connected with the Cafe Savarin and the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

~ — -. VERY housekeeper should learn something of the chemfstry of cooking. Such knowledge enables her to keep her family in comparatively good health. If a cook has not the intelligence to master such knowledge for herself there is no reason why the housewife should mot acquire it and impart It to her ina simplified form. If, for example, the fact can be dem- onstrated to a cook that tough meat may be made tender by~-softening the fibres by the action of a little pure olive oil, there will be no reason why she should send tough eteaks to the table. Teach your cook once that it is better to turn a piece of beef over and over on a plate containing a little oil and she will no longer attempt to make it ten- der hy hammering it with a cleaver or rolling-pin, thus forcing out all the juices. If such a simple thing as this cannot . be taught her, or she refuses to learn, the sooner her services are dispensed with the better for the peace and diges- . tion of her employer. foods is the softening of solid parts, the extraction or retention of thefr jufces and flavors, as the case requires. and their fudicious admixture and the mak- ing of such chemical changes in the ele- ments as are necessary before food can meet the requirements of the body. food so degree of Proper cooking economizes that it vields a greatest nourishment. That method of cooking. is the most desirable which prepares food most per- fectly for the process of digestion, and at the same time offers the required bulk in accordance_with the degree of nourishment It affords. The form of cooking which best ac- complishes th’s result is the one to follow as a general rule. ' Meat loses nearly 30 per cent. of its bulk and juices by being cooked, but it ‘s thus made easy of mastication and fit for digestion. Don't talk to me about eating raw meat. Only the stomach of a carniver- ous animal or of a wild Indian can di- gest it. The civilized man must have his food The effect of proper cooking on all. method. For this reason, when it !s possible, meat should be roasted before an open fire rather than baked in an oven, aS most so-called roasts are now done. a The modern gas range, with its steady broad flame, if made large enough and set high enough, would afford the ideal opportunity for the old-fashioned spit. It was said above that baking is not the most desirable way of cooking meat, but the bake oven is all most people have, and they have to make the best of it. One must be careful to watch the temperature of the oven and be sure to have it very hot when meat is put In. It cannot be too hot at first, for the quicker the meat crisps over the more entirely the juices are retained. It is very easy to cool the oven after the first few moments. Do not put water in the pan with meat when you roast it. RROILING. The general principles of roasting ap- ply to broiling. The afr must be al- lowed to circulate freely round the meat to carry away the smoke of the burn- ing fat. BOILING. Boiling consists of fmmersing any art!- ticle into actually boiling water and maintaining the temperature of the water at the boiling point until the ar- ticle is. cooked. a HOME MENU AND ITS COST Here is a menu for a plain dinner for a family of six persons, with the exact cost itemized: Tomato Soup.

And even at large banquets fewer wines are served than formerly. The two wines, if two are served, are Sauterne with the fiish and champagne with the game. If only one wine is served it is either a claret, a Rhine wine or a champagne, and this one wine, whichever it may be, is opened and poured when the roast is served.

The prep. ra.jonu of soups has been considered for cen ures one of the most important department: of the culinary art, A great Fronueh authority on cooking has said that soup bears the same rela- tion to the d:nner that a doorway bears to a house or an overture to an opera. It is safe to say that no other dish is capable of such variation and none has received so much attention from the cooks of all ages and nationalities. The gradual evolution of soupmaking from the rude broth of savages to the complicated concoctions of to-day makes an exceedingly interesting history. Icvery great cook, it would seem, has devised some particular soup which bears his name, and every country may be said to have evolved its national soup. There are soups adopted for every season of the year, or which will har- monize with all sorts of dinners and with every occasion. Probably no otlfer Py emeene LF = i ee ae “tig ou Ae ae pen SOUPS AND PIES dish offers such opportunity for the ex- pression of o.iginal ideas in cooking. The quantity of ingredients which have been made use of in this remark- able assortment of recipes will doubt- less surprise most people. There is scarcely a single article of food known to civilization which has not been uti- lized in soupmaking. The most dell- cate soups in the world, it is comsidered by epicures, are those made from fresh fruits. The celebrated French cook, Gesine Lemcke, has devised some forty recipes in which fruits are used as a basis. In these recipes the fruit is not cooked, and the seasoning ts done with various wines or other flavorings. The princ'pal frult soups are made from apples, peaches, cherries, currants, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, pine- apples, prunes amd lemons. IK&t is of course possfble to make several entirely different kinds of soups from each kind of fruit. The fruit soups are sedved both hot and cold. They are considered in- dispensable to certain kinds of dinners by epicures. The preparation of consomme alone constitutes an important division of the culinary art. Most of these have orig- inated in France and carry out the French principles of the art. The prin- c/pal ingredients are the various meats and vegetables. Some interesting nov- elties have also been introduced of late, such as the varfous forms of cheese consomme and those flavored with rare SSE Pie, the Great American Dish, Has but Eighty Different Varieties. ——- > — herbs. There is also a separate soup dDearing the name of every kind of edible bird in the world. There are, for example, several kinds of lark soups, reedbird soups, pigeon soups, as’ well as that made from the familiar fowls. The preparatior of pies has been de- veloped in America almost to as fine an art as that of soupmaking in France. There are eighty distinct kinds of pie regularly made in ‘various parts of the country. The great Americar pie has long ago been recognized as the national dish. There is scarcely an article of food which has not been utilized in this unique way, and the combinations and future possibilities of piemaking are almost infinite. The various forms of meat pies are already familiar, but it is not generally known how far the art of plemaking has been refined of late years. The use of fruits and the more delicate flavorings has been carried to a point where ple be- comes a confectior. Pies have been made of violets and rose leaves, and there are a score of recipes for pies made of nuts of various kinds. There are ples bearing the name of the famil- iar wines and liquors and other liquids such as vinegar and molasses. Exce!l- lent and bountiful dinners can be pre- with different viands.

People eat too much meat. Foods are kept too long. ‘Men drink too much liquor instead of good pure wines.. Then they mix their drinks, which is bad. Americans eat too much at once.

- wr ee eS 4 A al ios P's Sy Aye EW YORK is such a cosmopolitan city that in its different sections where foreigners live one may always find restaurants devoted to the cookery of the particular nationality of the people dwelling in the immediate neighborhood. French restaurants are everywhere, so the dishes found in them are familiar to most New Yé6rkers. But there are restaurants of other nationalities, a visit to which would be a novelty to most people. Everyone has heard of the Chinese quarter, with its peculiar restaurant, and thousands of New Yorkers have tried some of the Chinese dishes. If they did not pronounce them good, thcy at least found them different from anything they had ever eaten. One thing which the Chinese cook to per- fection is rice. ‘When they poil it and bring it to the table it looks like a pile of dry snow. This is the way they cook it: A cup of rice is placed ina Saucepan with three cupfuls of boiling water slight- ly saited. Let it boil briskly for about twenty minutes, when the grains will have all burst like popcorn. Then put a piece of thin muslin Over a colander, drain the rice through it and stand it in,an oven with the door open, till the rice is quite dry. Carefully turn it on a plate and serve. In a Spanish restaurant there is one dish you will always find. This is how to make olla podrida: Put into a soup-kettle everything you have on hand in the way of beef, mutton, veal, smoked ham, chicken or fowl or any game birds, cabbage, carrots, chives, celery, stalks of parsley, leeks, Onions and Spanish beans or large peas, giblets of fowls; add salt, spices, clove of garlic, saffron. Cover the whole several inches deep with water, let it boil five or six hours. An hour before serv- ing add some chickens’ livers, 80me artichoke bot- toms and some hard-boiled eggs cut in rings. Some. times the chicken and beef are taken from the ‘ola after it has boiled twa hours, and finished in the oven. Before serving put some slices of toast in the tureem and pour the olla over it. / This recipe is rather lacking in detail so far as amounts and measurements go. But it is as near as a Spanish restaurateur would give it. The olla podrida is the Spanish equivalent for the French pot au feu. ; *O-S+O- S++ S-8--D+o: SO D-8- Se DICTIONARY OF WAngy TABLE Kays 'y The World proposes to give with each issue of its cook book a sample table d’hote menu in French, with a trans- CHINESE, SPANISH, HUNGARIAN AND ITALIAN ‘DISHES.

(Tenderloin of 7 F en eS The favorite dish served in Hungarian restau- rants is Kulash. This is how it is cooked: Cut a pound of tenderloin of beef in inch dice; also two ounces of onions in squares an eighth of an inch thick. Put four ounces of buti +r into a frying-pan and when hot add the onions and then the beef. Season with salt and paprika, a Hungarian pepper; moisten with a pint of good gravy and cook for one hour and a half, having it tightly covered. In all the Italian restaurants macaroni and spa- ghetti are served in various forms. This is the best way to cook spaghetti: Break a package of spaghetti in halves, put it in a saucepan, cover it with boiling water, add a tea- spoonful of salt; let it boil ten minutes. Then drain it and throw it in cold water. After a min- ute drain it from the cold water and stand the colander on a plate, leaving the spaghetti in it. Stand the whole in the oven with the door open. Now prepare the spaghetti for serving in the fol- ; lowing manner: Put a layer of spaghetti on a Fam platter and pour over it a layer of sauce, then i - sprinkle over it a hayer of grated parmesan cheese, ‘eee 2 then a layer of spaghetti, and so on, repeating the Ni process till the spaghetti is all used; then puta Sy few pats of butter on top and stand it in the oven a minute or two. as Serve with an extra dish of grated cheese. Put an ounce of butter in a saucepan over the LW fire. When the butter bubbles, add a large onion sliced thin. When the butter bubbles, add a large onion sliced thin. When theonion is fried quite crisp put in four pounds of lean beef, cut from the round, and tied compactly. Cover tne Kettle, let the beef brown well on one side, then turn it and let it brown on all sides. When the braising is finished put a quart of fresh tomatoes, peeled and cut up, or a quart glass jar-of tomatoes, in with the beet. Add two cloves of garlic, six sprigs ot parsley, two bay leaves, three biades of mace and a teaspoonful of paprika, a teaspoonful of salt and a half pint of water. Cover the kettle tight and let the whole cook gently for three hours, or until the beef is so tender it will fall in shreds. Then take the beef out with a skimmer. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of flour in a little cold water, stir it in the liquor left in the Kettle, let it boil till quite thick, then strain the sauce through a fine strainer. It is best to make this sauce the day before the spaghetti is to be cooked; then heat it to the boiling point when required to dress the spaghetti. ; COOKS AND A skillful cook can command a higher salary in New York than the college pro- Releves, (Removes.) clergyman or Beef, fessor.

The Brie cheese also comes from a town whose name it bears. It lies to the north of Paris, and regularly ex- ports immense quantities of cheese. This cheese is also made of cow's milk.

Limburger cheese, which was once manufactured exclusively abread, is also produced in this country so suc- cessfully that the importation of é has deen entirely stopped. The most expensive cheese manu- factured is the truffle cheese, which is tmported from France, This cheese, as its name suggests, is made of truffles, and is worth about a dollar a pound in France.

: . ee . —_ THE amen WORLD'S COLLEGE OF ‘THEPs. IE | [OF WIT DELICACIES — ANCIENT | TIME 30 BILL ST" TAN ROMAN HE famous banquets of the ancient Romans have never been approached much lea: rivalled by the most elaborate dinners of modern times. During the decline of the Roman En pire it was common for wealthy Romans to entertaiy their friends with dinners which cost ‘ortunes to prepare. Every part of the world was called wpon to supply delicacies for these feasts. It usually equired at least twelve hours to serve a singie repast and several days were requir:d forthe guests to recover from such orgies. No Roman dinner was complete without special ente ‘tainments and these diversions were as varied as a modern variety performance. The favorite time for dining in Rome was the hour of sunset and the last course was not pected to appear before sunrise the following morning. The dinners were served in the main hs } of the palaces, which were elaborately decorated for the occasion. The massive pillars of the c were hung with garlands of the most beautiful roses and wreaths of laurel and draped with co hangings. The tables upon which the banquet was served were made of marble, and rose o / bout two feet above the floor. The guests reclined on couches of about the same height ranged about this festive board. The costumes worn On such occasions were exceedingly elaborate and fancifal. The men wore garlands of roses and strings. of gems about their necks. The women were costumed in bright colors and were abl 4ze with precious stones. The foods were served by scores of slaves who glided noiseliessiy about the tables. The blunders of waiters in those days were punished more severely than at present, and it was not uncommon for a slave to be put to death for forgetting some detail of Roman etiquette. The ceilings of the halls where these banquets were served were arranged with great nets of roses which were allowed to fall gently upon the guests throughout the night. It was not uncom- mon for a wealthy Roman to spend $30,000 in preparing a single feast and many of them cost much more than this. Many of the most famous of these dinners were given by the wealthy Roman Lu- cullus, who deseribed his dinners in several books which have been preserved to this time. It was this famous good liver, it is believed, who first conceived the idea of bringing fish from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Arabia and keeping them alive until the dinner was being prepared. Another popular luxury was a preparation of the ton gues of the lark. A single dish of this sort was com- posed of several] thousand tongues. In order to insure the meats being fresh Lucullus was in the habit of cooking the unborn offspring of cows or sheep. The Romans were exceedingly gross feed- ers and all these delicacies were provided in enormous quantities. The Romans had no after-dinner speakers, for the sufficient reason that few if any of the diners were in proper condition either to make speeches or listen to them at the end of such a repast. The Romans were quite as intem- perate in their drinking as in their eating. The Roman epicures delighted in curious combinations of foods which would be very unsavory, to say the least, to the modern palate. } reer A PARISIAN MENU. Th° hest Frénch ideas of a simple dinner are given in the following menus prepared especially for the Sunday World by the chefs of the two most celebrated foreign restaurants, Voisin’s and Maire’s. Voisin’s was made famous and fash- ionable five years ago by the visit of the Prince of Wales. As his Royal High- ness was- about to taRe his departure the proprietor asked him if he had been satisfied with his dinner: “Yes, quite,’’ replied everything here is good.’’ From that day the reputation of Voi- sin® was assured. Since then the Prince takes a meal there every time he comes to Paris, and where he leads the gour- met world follows. Many celebrities are among the pa- trons of the place. King Leopold of Belgium is often to be seen in one of its comfortable corners, and so is Cleo de Merode.

Cover them with bzearnaise sauce, made as follows: BEARNAISE SAUCE. Put irto saucepan one gill of, vinegar with two ounces of chopped shalots and a few tarragon leaves, cover the pan and reduc the liquid almost comrletely, then take. it from the fire. When the vinegar is slightly cold mix in with it four raw egg-yolks, season with salt and mignorette. and return it to a slow fire, and add three ounces of clari- fied butter. Strain the sauce and heat it well, and mix in a coffeespoonful of chopped tarragon and the same of chopped parsley. It should have the consistercy of a mayonnaise, and can also be made with half butter and half oil. Mrs. H. M. J.—This is Belot’s receipt for STUFFED SMELTS FRIED.

After it has solidi- fied finish by working with a spatula. oe ona of vanilla infusion, extract may use A very popular dish for example was made of locusts preserved in honey. The petroneus and other popular fish of those days were served with very sweet sauces. The idea for example of an ANSWERS TO HOUSEWIVES eel served as un confection is not likely to appeal to the popular appetite. The Romans were besides very fond of very highly seasoned dishes. The soups were served with vinegar, and in order to im- part a biting taste to certain dishes it was common to use powdered lime as a condiment. The wines of ancient Rome, of which there was a remarkable vamety, were also very powerful, and were consumed in large quantities. The Romans delighted in showy dishes, and frequently sacrificed the taste to this vanity. A very popular dish of this kind was the roast peacock. The largest and most gayly colored birds were selected without regard to their tenderness and cooked and served with all their feath- ers on and the tail spread out. Wild boar was also very popular as a table decoration, the entire carcass, including the head, being cooked and placed on the table. The familiar steaks*and chops of to- day were almost unknown among the Romans. They preferred to have their meats served in very much larger bulk. A quarter or side of meat was the smallest portion served as a rule, and the enormous appetites of those days Were quite equal to the oecasion. The appearance of a well-supplied Roman dinner table would be a gfeat shock to the refined taste of the present day. The food was lteralty piled upon the tables until it lay in heaps higher than the heads of those seated or reclining about. The Roman diners were essen- tially barbaric. The guests, according to all modern ideas of taste and refine- ment, were gluttons. Most of the dishes were served, swimming in fat and despite all their costly dis shes’ the cooking was more or less primitive. The dinners were, besides, very noisy affairs. As the meal progressed the guests frequently interrupted the com- pany by singing or chanting, and this boisterous play took the place of any attempt at speechmaking. er MAIRE'S SIMPLE DINWER.

Thin persons are safe to eat al- most any and every sort of food, be- ing careful, of course, that it is prop- erly selected, prepared and cooked. For breakfast thin persons who wish to grow stout may take oat- meal, hominy or any of the prepara- tions of wheat now sold.

'- Special Message Reviewing the Important Events Upon Which His Recom- mendations Are Based. A. _ WASHINGTON, April 25.—The President to-day sent Congress the following message recommending a declaration of war against Spain. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America: I transmit to Congress for its consideration and appropriate action copies of correspondence recently had with the representatives of Spain in the United States, with the United States Minister at Madrid and through the latter with. the Govern- ment of Spain, showing the action taken under the joint resolution approved April 20, 1898, “For the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authornty and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect.”’ Upon communicating to the Spanish Minister in Washington the demand which it became the duty of the “Executive to address to the Government of Spain in obedience to said resolution, the said Minister at Madrid was in turn notified by the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs that the withdrawal of the Spanish repre- sentative from the United States had terminated diplomatic relations between the two countries and that all official communications between their respective repre- sentatives ceased forthwith. I recommend to your especial attention the note addressed to the United States Minister at Madrid by the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs on the 2Ist inst., whereby the foregoing notification was conveyed. It will be perceived therefrom that the Government of Spain, having cognizance of the joint resolution of the United States Congress and in view of things which the President is thereby required and authorized to do, responds by treating the representative demands of this Gov- ernment as measures of hostility, following with that instant and complete severance of relations by its action, whereby the usage of nations accompanies an existent state of war between sovereign powers. The position of Spain being thus made known and the demands of the United States being demied with a complete rupture of intercourse by the act of Spain, | have been constrained in exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me by the joint resolution aforesaid, to proclaim under date of April 22, 1898, a blockade ot certain ports of the north coast of Cuba, lying between C ardenas and Bahia Honda and of the Port Cienfuegos, on the south coast of Cuba; and further, in exercise of my constitutional powers, and using the authority conferred upon me by the act. of Congress, roved April 22, 1898, to issue my proclamation, dated April 23, 189s, calling for wns sath ers in order to carry into effect the said resolution of April 20), 18928. Copies of these proclamations are hereto appended. In view of the measures so taken and with a view to the adoption of such other measures as May be necessary to enable me to carry out the expressed will of the Congress of the United States in the premises, | now recommend to your honorable body the adoption of a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the United States of-America and the Kingdom of Spain, and I urge speedy action thereon to the end that the definition of the international status of the United States as a belligerent power may be made known, and the assertion of all its rights and the maintenance of all its duties in the conduct on a public war may be assured.

WASHINGTON, April 2 5.—Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee has been sent for by the President and is expected in Washington to-day. The President has decided definitely to give him a command and it is believed this will be done to-day. Gen. Lee stated before leaving here for Virginia that when he returned to Cuba it would be at the head of an invading army. He is very much pieased with the prospect béfore him and has promised young Algernon Sartoris, a grandson of Gen. Grant, a place on his staff. THE NAVAL BILL HAS PASSED. WASHINGTON, April 25.— The naval appropriation bill has passed the Sen- ate. An amendment provides an appropriation of $8,830,000 to enable the Secre- tary of the Navy to enlist men for the navy during the existing war. HALF THE TROOPS HAVE NOT YET ARRIVED AT CHICKAMAUGA. The Chickamauga battlefield is,an ideal point for drilling purposes, according to the generally ex pene opinion of army officer: here, and it os probable that this point will be the rendezvous for nearly the entire augmented force of the regular army.

RMSTRO SOR St. ARE HOW HAVANA AND VICINITY ARE FORTIFIED. WASHINGTON, April 25: The House, in one minute and forty seconds passed the declaration of war against Spain, as recommended in the President’s message sub- mitted to-day. The Senate quickly agreed to the same bill. Secretary Sherman’s resignation was tendered at 12:15. Assistant Secretary Day has been chosen to succeed him. It is positively stated that the President does not contemplate a call for additional volunteers for the present. Cipher dispatches were received at the Navy Department this morn- ing from Rear Admiral Sampson. The Department feels that it cannot maintain a peaceful blockade much longer. The President is opposed to the bombardment of Havana’s forts until such time as this step may be necessar’ as a part of the plan for the invasion of Cuba. But it is realized here that f a single shot from a shore battery hits one of Sampson’s ships the fleet vill turn its guns on the forts without waiting for orders from W ashingtoi.. KEY WEST, Fla., April 25.—The first Spanish shots fired at the American flag were directed against the torpedo boat Foote, Lieut. W. L. Rodgers commanding, between 5 and 6 o’clock on Saturday evening, while she was taking soundings in Matanzas harbor. St. VINCENT, Cape Verde Islands, April 25.—The Sania fleet is still here, but it is reported that the vessels sail from these Islands to-morrow. MADRID, April 25, noon.—About 20, O00 Republicans have signed. an address to Senor Castelar under the pretext of congratulating him on his recovery from sickness, but in reality offering him their support if he proclaims/’a republic. MERCHANT SHIPS GIVEN DUE NOTICE. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.—A note is being prepared by the State Department giv- ing notice to Spanish merchant vessels that five days will be allowed them to get out of Amer- ican ports This is in compliance with the requirements of international law. ; ~ f DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GUARDS IN CAMP.

It is +4 certain that the insurgents are by no means inactive at this critic period. Navaf engagements between the formidable fleets wou!d be much to the liking of the © officers of the fleet. As a body they are anxious to put to the test thousands ~ 3 theories to which they have been devoting their time since entering the naval a academy apart from the fact that their fighting blood is up. A pagific blockade is poor work from a professional point of view, —_— the excitement of occasional chases. Many of the naval officers maintain that a land base of operations in Cubs should be secured before the Spanish fleet arrives. The general idea is thas the Spaniards will endeavor to recuperate at St. Thomas from the effects of the voyage before coming to Havana. After the Dauntless had towed the prize schooner away in triumph this aan noon on her way to Key West the blockade line was extended, The ships were mostly separated by several miles of water, making a forr able semi-circle around Moro 15 miles from point to point. The entire blockade lir stretches for about 120 miles from Mariel, 60 miles west of Havana, to Cardenas, ¢ miles east of the beleaguered city. These distances are approximate. 2 The Iowa was the only one of the ships around E] Moro that remained wad stationary to-day. She stood away out to the northwest. The Indiana, nh | and Mayflower cruised around in that*vicinity, while the Wilmington and ‘ head kept to the northeast.

For two hours this afternoon she was within easy range ; of the Cojima Battery No. 2 to the eastward of*El Moro, with its 12-inch gun, but the Spaniards apparently th@ught it hopeless to shoot at a distance of five ~~ miles. It was hard to realize while the flagship’s band played operatic airs dering dinner.that a stray shot from a Spanish fort might come bounding out and ake music of another kind.
