The Remus, which is loaded with iron ore, ugreed wéth Brooks Bros. of Santiago de Cuba, to jake the passengers as an act of charity and run out of her course to Port Antonio, in order to land them. The refugees are mostly women egd children, many of them persons of refinement. ¥ will hot | ne Of Wer.

Pu- laski D. Hyatt, the United States Consul ago for Jamaica, under instructions from Washington, came to the rescue of the refugees and at his own expense caused dinner to be prepared for all of them on the wharf where they landed. The refugees confirm the reporte that the Spaniards are abandoning the small cities and the plantations, which they have been guarding, burning the plantation buildings before leaving them. The insurgents’ activity has greatly in- creased recently, owing to the news that provisioned for so many peopie. | at Santiago de Cuba, who left there somé@ time . they have received from the United States, and.they are raiding up to the very out- works of Santiago de Cuba and Guanta- namo, The city of Santiago de Cuba, when the refugees left, was in a state of semi-panic, fearing the blockade of the port by the United States fleet. There were about 15,000 Spanish troops there and in the vicinity. But food, excepting army supplies, was run- ning low. Cuba. The Bandera Espanola, a daily newspa- per of Santiago de Cuba, in its issue of vesterday, printed the lines around the island: ‘‘4 dispatch dated from Washington gives the assurance that Havana will not be bom- barded. This, it is said, has tranquillized the city of Havana.” Mr. Hyatt left 50 tons of provisions in the! United States consulate at Santiago de Cuba and 100 tons of supplies, which had just arrived in the custom house. The British consul at Santiago, acting for the United States, has distributed the 50 tons of provisions, which were left in the con- stilate, but he has not been able to get the 100 tons of provisions stored in the custom | use Owing to the technical devices adopt- | @ ed by the Spaniards to prevent him from so and the civil population’ doing. of that city, about 20,000 persons, ishalmvust | | cornmeal Many of the children and woe, {apa the | ; These provisions, which consist of flour, and rice, have been confiscated by the Spaniards. ‘The British third-class cruiser Pear] ar- rived here to-day. The sound of her guns saluting the Commodore at Port Royal made the population believe that a naval battle was taking place outside the har- bor, and crowds of people ran down to the beach expecting to witness the engagement. The Spanish steamer Leonara arrived at Port Royal last evening from Manzanillo, having on board 20 refugees, including sev- eral Americans. At Port Antonio the crew of the Ameri- can schooner Mary Sandford of Wellfleet, Mass., has refused to take her out of the harbor, fearing capture by the Spaniards. PORTUGAL DECLARES NEUTRALITY. LISBON, April 29.—The Official Gazette to-day publishes the neutrality de- cree of Portugal in the war between Spain and the United States. It is similar to the decree issued at the time of the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war and contains six articles: 1. Forbids the equipment of privateers in Poituguese waters. 2. Forbids the entry of privateers into Portuguese waters. 3. Permits belligerents to make a short stay at Portuguese ports. 4. Defines legitimate trade as regards belligerents and forbids trading in goods which may be considered contraband of war. 0. Warns Portuguese and foreigners in Portugal against actions contrary to the security of the State. 6. Refuses protection to any infringers of the decree.

MADRID, April 29.—The following is the substance of the official report by Capt.- Gen. Blanco on the subject of the bom- bardment of the forts of Matanzas by ships belonging to Rear Admiral Sampson's Squadron on Wednesday last: “Three American cruisers fired on the batteries of Fort Morillo at Matanzas with- out doing any damage. We fired fourteen shots, to which the Americans replied witn a multitude of quick-filring gunshots, which did not do any injury. “The American squadron also fired 14 can- non shots at the Abanilla battery, only one mule being killed, to which the Spanish bat- al | } tery only replied with four shots as the squadron was beyond range. “The whole squadron of five ships then threw several shells into the town without doing any damage. “The French and Austrian Consuls have protested against the bombardment as it Was commenced without any previous warn- ing to foreign subjects, “The troops manning the stations are full of fieht. “It appears that our shots dd some dam- age to the American ehips.”’ One of Captain-General Blanco’s dispatch- es, reporting the alleged grounding of an American ironclad on the corst of Pinar del Rio, has been received with great joy by the newspapers of Madrid. They declare it proves “‘the American are not versed in seamanship.”’ FELL FROM A WINDOW, Fatal Accident to the Child of Mike O'Reilly. —— Maggie O'Reilly, the three-year-old daugh- | ter of Mike.

TYLER PLACE THE SCENT OF A FIERCE AND WELL-PLANNED BATTLE. ONLY A SHOTGUN STOPPED THE FIGHT. W. L. Ashley Beaten Into Insensibility by a Crowd of Workers Belong- ing to ai Different Association. One man was seriously injured and five badly bruised by rioting strikers, just west of Vandeventer, on Blaine avenue, Friday morning. The rioters, armed with stones, made an onslaught on a _ two-story residence in course of construction, and directed the missiles with well-aimed swings. They surrounded W., L. Ashley of 1616 Franklin avenue, whom they called “scab” and pummeled and hacked him with sticks and sharp stones until he fell from ex- haustion. Frank Slavin, who lives at the Ivy House, and Robert Johnson, master bricklayer for the West End Building Co., were injured, the former sustaining a smashed right hand and the latter a bad cut on the face, spiitting his lip and nose. The strikers are members of the Inter- national Association of Bricklayers. The men assaulted are connected with an inde- pendent organization Known as the Brick- layers’ Benevolent & Protective Associa- tion, which is not recognized by the other body. There is a difference, too, In the scaie Of wages, and in letting the contract for the brick work the Building Co., let it to George J, Darr, contractor. Intimations of trouble were rife about the place ever since the brick work began last Tuesday. On that day several strange men loafed there, looked wise and said nothing. Mr. Darr expected some trouble, and ad- vised the men to carry their union cards with them. There were ten bricklayers, an equal number of hod-carriers, and several] car- penters at work Friday morning. The in- cident of Tuesday had almost been for- gotten when a erowd of 15 or more men Was seen to cross the lot from Vandeventer avenue. Several of the men carried clubs, but acted in an apparently peaceable manner. The leader, who Mr. Siavin claims was ““Buck”’ Powers, called to Ashiey. He asked him to step down from the scaffold. “I want to see your card,” he asked. lt was a trick to corner the bricklayer, but he didn’t find it out until he was nearly beaten into insensibility. No sooner had he reached the ground than the men sur- rounded him. The nearest man grabbed the card he held out for inspection, at the same ee bringing a hickory stick down upon his »e ad, This seemed to be the signal others to do something and they pitched, tossed, beat, gouged and kicked the man until he fell limp in the street. All the time he was pleading for mercy. The other men at work stopped, but did not interfere. They say the situation puz- zied them for a magment. Robert Johnson, aged 45, finaily call@d down that they were killing the man. “You cowards—to beat one cried. for the man!’’ This attracted the mob’s attention to him | and perhaps saved Ashley's life. Johnson would not “come down,” but a volley of missiles reached him. Frank Slavin, who was at work on a rear wall, remained at his post and was struck, While others sought safety in the cellar. George Dare proved a hero by running the “‘blockade,"’ and reached a house just opposite on Folsom avenue. He knew the occupants and succeeded in borrowing a shotgun.

SECRETS OF THE ROOM MAYOR ZIEGENHEIN’S ADAM, WAS THE FIRST MAN CALLED UPON TO TESTIFY. PROMOTER BLESSING WAS PRESENT AND SMILING. Councilman Ives, Who Opposed the Central Traction Bill, Tells What He Knows of the Shady Transaction. The grand jury, !n pursuance of inetruc- tions given that Zachritz, began Friday morning an investi- gation of the bribery charges against cer- tian members of the “House of Delegates and Counctl. The inatructions of Judge Zachrit# were the resuit of an arraignment of the bood- lers by the Post-Dispatch on Monday a week ago. The tactics adopted by the men who wantcd the Central Traction bill to be- come a law were told in the Post-Dispatch. That money was expended in large quan- tities to secure the passage of the bill was ehown, and the actions of certain members were such that suspicion that they shared in the spoils was entertained by nearly every one. The expose by the Post-Dis- patcn simply contirmed the suspicion, The Post-Dispatch printed Judge Zach- ritz’s charge to the grand jury in full, It occupied three full columns. At 10 o'clock Friday morning the wit- nesses began arriving at the grand jury rooms, Ai were men experienced in public affairs and Knew how to keep their own counsel. All efforts to get witnesses to talk and allow themselves to be quoted were without avail. Adam Ziegenhein, son and private secre- tary of Mayor Jienry Ziegenhein, was the first witness to arrive. His dress was im- maculate and he was courteous to the re- porters, but he had absolutely nothing to say. Mr. Ziegenhein was before the grand jury for half an hour. When he left he Was 48 mysterious and as non-communica- tive as before. John H. Blessing, who was one of the pro- moters of the old North and South bill, which was defeated by Mayor Ziegenhein's veto, and which Was resurrected under the title of the Central Traction bill. and was passed over the Mayor's veto, was present among the witnesses. Mr. Blessing was looking neat and prosperous. He was inter- ested in the passage of the bill. Witnesses who testify before the grand jury are not in danger of being Indicted, L. H. Dieckman, ¢x-Speaker of the House of Delegates, and who, !{t is said, Is slated for secretary of the Central Traction Co., was also a Witness. What he testified to the grand jurors Attorney Hodgdon and himself only know Had he told all he knew it would doubtless make interesting reading. Couneciiman Halsey C. Ives was another witness. Mr. Ives was opposed to the North and South bill, and later to the Cen- tral Traction bill. He wae chairman of the Rallroad Committee. Pat the bill was taken hands and rushed out of the committee s j . : ' through the ¢ ouncli. George Martin, clerk of the Hiouse of Delegates, was also examined John Horn is bartender in Delegate Weekes’ saloon. Mr. ts the North and South bill, but when the Central Traction bill, which Was he en- tical with the old North and South bill, came up. Mr. Weeke voted for its passage. If Mr. fiorn knew anything he kept it for » grand jurors. . Marshall, one of the officers for the Central Traction Co., was the second wit. ness to go before the grand fury. He was examined for nearly three-quarters of an hour. He did not appear worried when he came out Edgar Mepham, a former member of the louse of Delegates, was another witness, Three newspaper reporters, F. H. Behy- mer of the Post-Dispatch, Joseph Miller of the Globe-Democrat and RK. Republic, were witnesses Promoter Fougene Sweeney, one of the Central Traction men. and Speaker Hilrarmn Lioyd, were served with subpenas, but they Were not present @uring the morning.

SATURD*Y EVENINGS, OT OF BAIL YET, ———. DETECTIVE WILLIAMS, INDICTED FOR MURDER, MUST REMAIN A PRISONER A FEW DAYS. MUST AWAIT THE GRAND JURY REPORT. As a Mark of Courtesy for His Position He Is Allowed to Sleep in a Jury Room. Detective George Willams, who shot and killed Willlam McBrearty while a plea for mercy lingered on his lips, ie @ prisoner im the city jail. Late Thursday afternoon the grand jury returned an indictment against Williams, charging him with murder. A bench warrant DETECTIVE GEORGE WILLIAMS. ow eee was issued and Williams was taken in cue tody by Deputy Sheriff Schuster at 7 o'clock while on duty as a detective. He at once appeared before Chief Desmond and was euspended. Out of courtesy for Williame’ position he was permitted to spend the night in a jury room under surveillance of a dep- uty. Friday morning he sat In the Sheriff's of- fice untill Judge Zachritz ordered him com- mitted to jail. While it is known that the grand jury has indicted Williams, Judge Zachritz will not consider a proposition for bond until the indictment has bee. forma ly reported to him in open court. Willams will then be arraigned and his offer of bond will be passed upon. The grand jury will make ite final report within a few days. Williams accepts his fate philosophically. ee ae ee ee To a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday morn- ing he said: “All I have to say is that I will come out all right in the end.” Williams’ indictment did not come as a surprise, in view of the united agitation on the part of citizens who live in the Weat E ea e scene of the tragedy. Everybody about the Four Courts expected the find! of a true bill. It is u Jereteed that Williams will have no difficuNg in giving bond, if Judge Zach- ritz decid that the offense charged is ballabie. Immediately following the killing of Me- Brearty Willams was suspended by Chief Deemond until after his exoneration by a he was reinstated, pending grand jury investigation, .

The pacifig blockade does not sepia to effect anything but the production of more misery apnong the reconcentrados, who were already far advanced téward extinction. It would seem, to the log@ker-on, that the best way to serve the ends of humanity would be to land supplies for the Cu- ban army along with a few thousand regular troops, and then force the fighting hefore and behind Havana. Unless we have been woefully d«ceived the Spanish army in Cuba is not fit to meet a weli-armed, well-disciplined force, and there is no reason to Welieve that the fortifications of Havana are any better them those of Matanzas. | Humanity demands action—prompt, energetic action—to the end that the suffering of the Cubans may be speedily termi- nated and the war brought to a close at the earliest possible nroment. will oe The Circulation of last Sunday's Post-Dispatch was 129,4177. — eee That the:public knows the difference between news and fakes iy clear from the success of the Post-Dispdigh. oe A TEXAS OPPORTUNITY.

The Spantards have four so-called first-class cruisers be- ‘Shics a number of terpedo boats and other small craft. Their ncvantage is enormous, for the Oregon is a slow ship and can- net get away if once she is sighted, from the enemy’s fleet, if she is beaten in a fight against such overwhelming odds the American Navy will not. be dishonored. Uf she wins, all other victories will sink into insignificance. It is a question of manhood and marksmanahip.

Henor Julio Gongales y Alba, Washington correspondent of the Madrid Imparcial, cables his paper that the United States hesitate because it is feared the red men will rise when the army is well engaged in Cuba. “In the States of Ohio, Ilinois and Iowa,” says the Senor, “the citizens have already been called out to protect their western frontiers from the raids of the wild men.’ Never say that the Spaniard is not wide awake rod imaginative. With misinformation of this kind the people of Spain can endure a dozen defeats. This journalistic feat of Senor Julio Gonzales y Alba will make the fakers turn green with envy.

OPPORTUNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. Although the Grand Jury is all-powerful for the purpose of a inquiry into wrong doing, its work may be greatly aided or cbstructed by the court and the prosecuting officer. The jury looks to the court for the interpretation of the law. It must look to the prosecuting officer for direction and ad- vice in the practical work of investigation. In securing and The members of the jury are practical business men, and natu- rully lean upon the law officers whom the State has provided for their guidance. Much of the responsibility for the effectiveness of the investi- gation rests upon Assistant Circuit Attorney Hodgdon, who is the immediate legal adviser of the Grand Jury. He powered by the law to inform the Grand Jury and to ask questions, and ordinarily the jurymen look to him to secure witnesses, examining witnesses his work is of prime importance. is em- to bring out the evidence and practically to shape the investigation. Mr. Hodgdon has én exceptional opportunfty to prove his value to the people of St. Louis. .But the opportunity carries heavy, responsibility. The eyes of the people are upon him. Nis record and reputation as a public officer depend upon his work fn directing the investigation of City Hall scandals which have stirred popular indignation as it has never been stirred before. Every public officer who is concerned in the boodle investiga- tion will be held to strict accountability for his conduct. ‘ aoe Two hundred and fifty taxpayers attended a session of the Dallas City Council and cheered lustily when a resolution was passed instructing the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance providing that the best obtainable fender should be placed on every street car in the city. If there were a large attendance of taxpayers at every session of a municipal assembly there might be less of rotten legislation and neglect. oo —- The Springfield (Mass.)

LOUIS MEETING WHAT TURFMEN SAY ABOUT IT. _— -——--—— Those at Memphis Very Much Opposed to the Doing Awsy With the Old Banner. the well-known turf the Post-Dispatch Charles MacKenzie, writer, in a letter to from Memphis says: “Considerable friction has been aroused among horse owners at the Memphis track owing to the announcement made by Dr. Bernays, who arrived at ‘Montgomery Park Tuesday, that no recall flag would be used at the approaching St. Louis Fair Grounds meeting. “Prominent horsemen, such as John W. Schorr, Abe and Lou Cahn and George C. Bennett, are warm believers in the need of a recall flag, and prophecy all kinds of dls- aster for the St: Louis meeting should Pres- ident Aull and his associates determine to start the horses without the chance of re- call. “One horseman, who has raced in the Mound City for the last half dozen years, is particularly outspoken in regard to the proposed departure. “Te what Bernays tells mé is correct,’ said he, “and no recall flag is to be used, I do not believe I will take my horses to St. Louis, and Lou Cahn has just told me he certainly will not. The abolishment of the recall flag is a direct invitation for the patronage of the owners whose idea of sportsmanlike racing is summed up in two words—sure thing. It will attract every cinch gambler to St. Louis and more job- bery will be perpetrated at the air Grounds track than South Side or Sports- man’s Park ever knew in their paimiest. days. “Let me explain how easy it will be to put a sure thing through. We will suppose Pearl Barnes, a natural quick breaker, is favorite, and that Katie Gibbons is the only other one in the opposition that figures to beat her. Some one has Bob Bass or some other deadwood in the race, and with a lit- tle manipulation it is arranged that Bass is to be alongside Katie. The barrier is sprung. Bass wheels, butts into Katie, and Pearl Barnes, having no recall flag to fear, sails away with the race. When the boy on Bass is interrogated for breaking up the start he claims that his mount shied at the raising of the barrier, and there you are.” “Whether it was Dr. Bernays’ talk about the abolishment of the recall flag, or the Chicago fever which appears now to be epidemic among horse owners and turf fol- lowers, the fact remains that nearly every hors:man racing at Montgomery Park has signed for the Washington Park and Har- lem meetings. John W. Kelsey has been do- ing excellent missionary work for the two Chicago tracks, and left Wednesday for the Kentucky tracks, with a cornucopia of en- tries. It is not an exaggeration to say that Kelsey carried away the names of 90 per cent of the better class of horses now quartered at the Memphis track in his list of thoroughbreds nominated for the Wash- ington Park and Harlern tracks. “Whatever the outcome of the St. Louts | Lieber Karl | trainersS located | Bannockburn weight up.

MARY MORGAN'S FEET WERE FROZEN OFF. ONE JANUARY WEEK IN AN OLD SHED WITHOUT FIRE OR WRAPS. PITIABLE SPECTACLE AT THE CITY HOSPITAL. | {he Woman’s Feet Crumbling Away and She Is Slowly Dying From Consumption Caused by Exposure. The tortures and hardships that prison- ers at the St. Lou!ls Workhouse are often subjected to and the horrors of that hell- hole known as the “bull pen’ have not been exaggerated. Mary Morgan, a young negress who lived at 715 South Third street, is a living end pitiful victim of its cruelties. Mary spent severa] months In the Work- house last winter for a mindemeanor, and when her term expired she did not walk out of the high walls and barred gates. She had to be hauled out. She was a crippled '$nvalid for life. When she entered there she was a stal- wart woman—a mean one, perhaps, of her class. When she was hauled away by friends she was but a skeleton of her former self. Her robust physique was In the grasp of that insidious monster, consumption. But far more painful than was. the thought of this gradual death were the keen pangs of her frozen feet, from which the flesh was crumbling in flakes, held there by old rags that other prisoners had given her to wrap them in. For some breach of discipline, and during one of the coldest spells of the winter she was sent tothe “bull pen,’’ where refractory prisoners are committed. It is a little house, sitting apart from the cell barracks, without a single compfort except a shelter from the rain and snow. A pari of the dis- cipline there is that the victim shall sub- sist on bread and water. The woman was thinly “clad; her shoes were almost worn out and stockings she had none. She begged in vain for more clothing when ‘her appeals for the warmth of a fire were denied. She felt that she was freezing to death and leaded fsr humane treatment, but she had vicilougly fought with another femaie prisoner ayd must be ‘‘disciplined.” At the efid of her week in the ‘bull pen,” had Ao be carried from it to her cell. € t were frozen and she could not walk. But she was made to serve out her term, end then she managed to get word to her friends to come for her, and a woman VMving at South Third street responded. Fince hen she has been confined to her ‘ped. The friend, no longer able to care for her, sent fur an ambulance Thursday after- noon and hac her sent to the City Dispen- @ary, and from there to the Hospital. She was one of the most pitiable objects ‘geen there for a long time. Her feet were rotting masses of flesh, wrapped tn cloths, and she Was so emaciated and weak thar @he could scarcely whisper. The doctor said her feet would have to be amputated, but that temporary relief ig deemed igscarcely necessary; for the woman’s life will be brief at the longest. Her once ro- /bust const.tution has been undermined by consumpt.on, contracted during her expo- Sure at the Workhouse. “I would have killed myself,’’ she sald, to do it with, rather than undergo the suf- fering I did in that awful ‘bull pen.’ When my feet Were frozen stiff I begged to be taken to a fire, if only long enough to thaw 4 them, but mv begging was answered w.th ‘curses and thceats of beating, My ears, inose and hands were badly frost-bitten, land while Mr. Karr saw the CObgitton I / Was in and how I was suffering atter two 'days in the bull pen, he Kept me there for a whole week. . “There wrre a number of others there at the same time, for the bull pen is generally crowded, but none of them were made to Kiay a week like me. The doctor tells me my feet have got to be cut off, and that have consumption. It would have been less cruel for them to have killed me with fan ax than to murder me by such slow de- Brees as this. 1 never did anything to de- ,ferve such treatment. I was sent there for fighting, and could have stood the work all right and been myself again had I not been frozen for a week in the bull pen,”’ ~ OHIO SOCIETY BANQUET. eae ee ; |Bt.

It ts not expected there will be any speech- making, these being no times for the ora- tors, but Mayor Ziegenhein will be present and give the boys a nod and a smile of ap- proval. The stand of colors is of rich silk, regula- -' - tion size and mounted on a highly polished staff. A silver plate on the staff bears the inscription: “Presented to Light Battery A, April 29, 1898, with the compliments of the Post-Dis- patch.” A burnished golden eagie crowns the staff, with its hang two gold cords, ending in heavy tas- sels. There will be no demonstration of any kind—just the soldierly appearance of the officers of the battery and the men of one gun section, composing a color company, who, in full dress, will receive the stara and stripes and bear it away with becoming dignity and modesty. THREE FIRES NONE WEEK, ae eee Mrs. Margaret Dates ina State of Suspense. AN INCENDIARY AFTER HER BOARDING HOUSE. HIGH TENSION AND GREAT- LY ALARMED. DEATH BY THE FLAMES NARROWLY AVERTED. Police on the Trail of a Colored Man Against Whom Mrs. Dates En- tertains Serious Sus- picions. Visions of fire about them and death in the flames by night, and the sight of charred woodwork, burned furniture, and the smell of coal oil by day, keep the occupants of Mrs. Margaret Dates’ boarding house, 2737 Lucas avenue, in a state of perpetual fear. Three incendiary fires ‘have occurred in the house, all at night, within a week to the day.

RULES GOVERNING CONTEST. New and Interesting Feature of the Chrysanthemum Show of Next November. One of the features of the Eighth Annual Chrysanthemum Exhibition, which will be held at the Coliseum Nov. 14 to 18 next, will be a collection of herbaria, exhibited by the pupils of the St. Louls public schools. Each year, by direction of the will of the late Henry Shaw, $500 is set aside by the Shaw estate to be given as prizes by the St. Louis Floral Club. This year the directors have set aside $30 of this fund to be given as premiums to the eange of the public schools who exhibit the est specimens of herbarian plants. To this fund Miss Mary Lionberger has added $100 and the prizes are to be awarded next fall. The prizes, 40 in number, range from $10 down. Specimens of the way the flowers should be plucked and arranged have been sup- lied Superintendent of Schools Soldan and 1e will see that one or more specimen sheets are on exhibition in the principal's room in each school in the city. The competition for the prizes will en- courage the pupils in the study of native plants, and they will receive a greater in- sight into botany than if any other plan were adopted. The plan fs for the pupil to go to the flower garden and eelect a plant and preserve it on a large sheet of paper, with its proper name and history written under it. The more industrious and pains- taking the pupil is the more likely he is to land the prize. For the best collection of 125 or more specimens three prizes are offered—$10, $6 and $4. No premium is of- fered for a collection of less than 25 speci- mens. The following herbarium: Plants intended for the herbarium should be col- lected on a dry day; plants which when gathered have moisture on their leaves should, when brought home, be placed with their stems in a vessel of Water, and their leaves should be allowed to dry. The specimens are then laid between layers of blot- ting paper, not spread ont with anxious minuteness, nor so placed as to distort their parts. The num- ber of sheets of paper in each layer is accommo- dated to the nature of the plants, and pressure is applied by means of weights, screws or straps, the whole being inclosed in boards, and the lay- ers of paper, when very numerous, having also boards occasionally interposed. Care must be taken that too much pressure be not applied at first, lest the parts of. t plants be unfitted for future examination. For short time, the paper is changed every day, or every second day, dry paper being supplied. Specimens have the best ap- pearance which are quickly dried.. When the spec- imens are fully dried. they are Jaid within sheets of writing paper, or they are gummed or glued to sheets of paper, the name of the especies, with the locality, date of collection, and any other in- teresting particulars, being marked beside each. As much as pogible of each plant is preserved in the herbarium, but the flower and leaf must al- ways be exhibited.

TESTATOR’S POWER OF SPEECH Interesting Case of Emil Delfosse Against Henry J. Chatlin and His Wife Angelina. There ig a law Suit over a will, now in the hands of Judge Spencer of the Circuit Court, for decision, which has an almost exact parallel in the story of Alexandre Dumas’ “Count of Monte Cristo.” The euit is that of Emil Delfasse against Henry J. Chatlin, his wife Angelina, and other heirs of old Emil Delfosse. Delfosse was a Frenchman who could not speak a word of English. His son-in-law, Chatlin, could speak both French and English. The notary who drew the will, and the witnesses to it, could understand no French, so the son-in-law interpreted for the old man, When the will was read the wife of the interpreter inherited the bulk of the property, much to the dissatisfaction of the brother, who immediately brought a suit to break the wilL After the evidence was all in Judge Spencer asked for briefs on the case, and among those drawn up was one by Wiliiam Gerdine, stenographer for the plaintiff's attorneys, J. Kk. and J, F. Merryman. For a legal disquisition the document is unique and presents the case as follows: “In Dumas’ famous ‘Count of Monte Cristo’ we find a case exactly similar in all w2eential points to the case at bar, and while it is somewhat of an innovation to make ref- erences of novels, still we do so to effectu- ally show thatyat all times laws regarding the making and proper interpretation of the wishes of the testator have been extremely rigid, and in no wise meaning to reflect on the Gignity and austerity of this honorable court. “M. Nortier was an old man who had suf- fered an apopletic stroke which deprived him totally of his power of speech, move- ment and feeling, in fact, everything except his hearing and sight, which seemed to im- prove after the stroke. He lived with his son, M. de Villefort Nortier, the two not being on very good terms, however, on ac- eount of their different political tenets and beliefs. M. de Villefort had a daugfiiter, Va- lentine, who had always ——a a deep affection for M. Nortier, and who tended him unceasingly. M. Nortier returned her affection and gradually, by constant ass0o- clation, they manufactured a code of signals, as it were, by which she could understand his wants. She could understand every look he gave her. and if not certain as to his wishes, she would inquire if he desired such a thing, and, if so, he would wink his eyes in affirmation; if not, he would not move his eves in the least, thereby signifying his disapproval. M. Nortier was very wealthy, and it waa taken for granted by the remain- ing members of the family that Valentine would, on the death, fall heir to his prop- " t f enone day Nortler conveyed, through their usual medium, his desire for a notary in or- der to frame a will. DevVillefort was in the room at the time and when Valentine told him of Nortier’s wish he bitterly opposed it, since he, for personal reasons, did not wish a will to be made. 44 to 50, elegant line of All- Wool Coats and Vests, black and biue serge, drap d’etes, etc.—Busted Yair price $7 50 and $10.00—Our Price Big Men, a ae a ee ey re eee ae ee status of affairs explained to him. DeVille- fort told him that any will written under such circumstances, with an interpreter as deeply interested as Valentine, would be ab- solutely illegal and void, and the notary agreed with him, saying: ‘**Permit me tostate that the casein ques- tlon ts just one of those in which a public officer like myself cannot proceed to act without thereby nouteae a dangerous re- sponsibility. The first thing necessary to render an act valid is that the notary should be thoroughly convinced that he has faith- fully interpreted the will and the wishes of the pemnen dictating the act. Now, I can- not be sure of the approbation or disappro- bation of a client who cannot speak; and as the. object of his desire or his repug- nance cannot be clearly proved to me, on account of his want of speech, my services here would be quite useless, and cannot be legally exercised.” “This, briefly and succinctly, is a state- ment of the case cited, which differs. only from the one at bar in that the testator in this instance could not speak at all, and the testator in this case could only speak French. Now, was not the testator in this case as fully at the mercy of the interpreter, when he could not understand a word of English, as was this old man who had lost entirely his power of speech * We beg leave to lay particular stress «® that portion of the notary’s gtatemeni where he says, ‘The first thing necessary to render an act valid is that the notary should be thoroughly convinced that he has faithfully interpreted the will and wishes of the person dictating the act.’ Now the question in the case at bar for the court to decide is whether the defen- dant was a competent interpreter in view of his interest in the will, and whether the notary could be thoroughly convinced of the fa'thful interpretation of the testator’s wishes.’’ Juuge Spencer may hand down his de- cision Jlonday,. JUSTICE TO PFENNINGER. He Extended Aid to Unfortunate Old John Brunner. John J. Pfenninger, who dispossessed aged John Brunner of the house and vineyara at 4435 Bouth Pifteenth street, saya the story ‘teid by the Deputy Bheriffa who served the writ does him a great injustice. 2 “Mr, Brunner borrowed about $4600 on his is roperty three years ago,’’ he said, ‘‘and 1 ad absolutely no interest in tne loan. He could not pay it, and when the jand was of- fered for sale, last Juiy, I secured it by bidding $5002. Mr. Brunner refused to give possession and I instituted an ejectment suit. Wililngly I had the case continued, when it was represented to me that Brun- ner was sick, and it came up at this term, Brunner made no defense and I secured agp amare He still refused to move and l nstructéd the Sheriffs to enforce the court’s mandate, ‘‘Several\time I offered to rent a house for Brunner, but he declined and went so far as to partially destroy the vineyard. I also offered to employ him, and this was waived aside. He can have the property if I am re- imbursed to the amount I paid out.’’ PATRIOTIC JUDGE HAUGHTON. He Adjourns Court in Honor of the Victory at Matanzas. Justice of the Peace Haughton was the only official in St. Louts or elsewhere, 50 far as is known, to celebrate the victory of the North Atlantic squadron at Matanzas by deciaring a holiday, and auspending pub- lic businese.

BODY FOUND.BY A ROOMMATE. Separation From His Wife Supposed to Have Caused the Suicide of This Painter. William S. Johnson, a painter, boarding at 2801 South Broadway, was found dead in bed Friday morning by his roommate, Warren J. Goff. The supposition of the police and, Goff is that the man committed suicide, Johnson came to the South Broadway house five months ago and has been stead- ily employed in the shops of the Missourt Railroad. About his home he was regarded as a cheerful, genial fellow, never dispiay- ing any signs of mental trouble. Thursday evening he was out until 11 o’ciock and when he came home there was no indica- tion of a riotous time. He paid his bills promptly and always seemed to have the money necessary for his immediate needs. No other motive for suicide is ascribed than despondency caused by the separation from his wife, who is in San Francisco. At the ‘boarding thouse Friday morn- ing {t was said that Johnson and his wife had parted, and that the man never alluded to her but with a seeming regret for some- thing he had done. As an offset to this sup- position that the separation was final, an dressed ir a woman's hand was found in Johnson's pocket. He is known to have a son in the gold flelds of Alaska. The body was cold when Goff sought to arouse his companion Friday morning. Near the bedside, on a table, etood a bottle, with its contents almost exhausted. The labe! had been scratched off, but it la thought the bottle contafned a preparation for dyeing the mustache. Johnson had such a bottle and a careful search failed to reveal it Fri- day erty Proprietor Adolph Burruse notified Patol- man Noonan of the Second District, who took charge of the body.

He ,ert his house last Thursday a week ago If he had been carried to the North roie in an airship he could not have disappeared more completely. Though Ben had been away before he had never remained without letting his family hear from him, Once he left on a long trip, going to South America, Dut it was with his mother’s knowledge. And here is where Cupid is supposed to make his entry. It is well known among the young man’s friends that a certain young lady was quite dear to him. is mother says she knows nothing about it, but the brother, Ike, with Jacob Fraley & (Co., says it le true. The explanation, supposedly, is that there Was some hitch in Cupid's work and that this accounts for the strange enlistment. But Mrs. Lears is sorely grieved. Though patriotic, she weeps to think that her boy _should have departed without a word of farewell to her. She would have given him permission to become a soldier, she says.

It has been definitely decided to organize an association in Louis for the aid of sick and disabled soldiers in the forthcom- ing prospective war. The preliminary sicps were taken at a meeting held Thursday evening at the office of the Home and For- eign Mizsions Association, 316 North Eighth street. The call was signed by Frank E. Nevins, Mayer of Kirkwood; R. D. Ripley, the_iron dealer, who lives in Webster Groves; 5. D. Webster of the Terminal] Railroad Associa- tion; Dr. W. Hy. Mayfield, proprietor of the Mayfieid Sanitarium; E. W. Stephens of Columbia, Mo.;: Dr. N. P. Moore, manager of the American Baptist Publishing Society; A. W. Payne, manager of the Central Lap- Dr. 8. A. Northrop of Kansas City; F Harris of Carthage, Mo.: Rev. Iton cf Slater, Mo., and N. W. Leet, general agent of the Providen:t Life and Trust €o. and ahout 3) citizens interest- ed in the movement responded. Rey. E. Sawyer called the meeting to order. N. R. Pittman of Mexico, Mo., was elec temporary chairman and Dr. Sawyer, secre- tary. The purpose is ‘to arganize on the lines of the American Sanitary Comeission which did so much good during the civil war. Delicacies and medicines to the sick, books and newspapers to the well, Bibies and re- ligious ‘works to those in need of spiritual consolation, are among the benefits pro- jected,*and aid and comfort in numerous directions to those who go forth to fight for the flag. The association will be a State organization, auxiliary to a national one. Dr. Bawyer was empowered to take the necessary steps towards effecting an or- ganization, but he is awaiting the report of like action taken at a mass meeting in Philadelphia, which he expects to have by Tuesday.

Tents were pitched outside of the north wall of the Barracks. ° Camp fires were started and two blankets, a rubber sheet and a burlap sack were given each man. The sacks were then filled with hay and when laid on the rubber sheet, made a very comfortable bed. four sentinels were posted every hour to patrol the Camp. The three tents occupied by the men were under the charge of Freudenstein, Kimmel and Wilson. Lieut. Weber and First Sergt. MeGinnity commanded. The first trouble experienced by the new men was with the cockle burrs. The tenting ground was thick with them and blankets, clothing and hair Were soon in a state that pur sleép out of the question. An hour's work finally removed this source of trouble and then the recruits endeavored to became acquainied with the hay beds. All kinds of schemes were tried for com- fort, but the men, for the most part, had packed the bags in sections, leaving hollows to comfort the body. Many discarded the beds and slept on the blankets With their clothes on, The guard was not strict and guard run- ning was freely indulged in, a thirst parlor at Grand and Chouteau avenues being the Objective point. Shortiy after Midnight the German pro- prietor threw up h‘s hands and declared that his K In trade had been completely used up. As morning approached the weather grew eolder and the sentinels paced back and forth wrapped in blankets. Early milk drivers stopped and looked on [{n wonder and thought the war was to be fought with the assistance of some Indian tnhe.

MOORE. ones that even now, after the official call the President for Missouri volunteers has arrived, he is not justified in mobilizing troops at St. Louis, because the War De- artment has given him to understand that t does not wish the concentration now, Siys ‘‘Missouri,”’ said the General, “differs from many other States. We have no money to pay expenses and our equipment {s not suf- ficient by half. Illinois has $250,000 for its militia and owns ite equipment. She can af- ford to pay 2 cents @ mile for transportation and the expenses of feeding her troops in camp until they are mustered in. We can- rot do this, and as there is no necessity for hurry, a to the War Department, I see no reasomwhvy we should make the attempt. I don’t propose to dump several thousand raw troops into camp, with insuf- ‘lent equipments and shelter, and run the of sickness among them before we rt for the front.” Gen. Bell will not order a man into St. Louis until he has explicit directions from the War Department. He does not expect these very eoon. is, however, making arrangements for th t " . ss ’ r cordial e mobilization. He has sent a circular let- er to the railroads calling for bids on trans- portation. Capt. F. M. Rumbold of Light Battery A came to Jefferson Citv Thursday night, con- ferred with Gen. Bell and returned on the first train with Lieut.

Bell has word from Col. G. C. Smith, deputy quartermaster at St. Louis, that he cannot equip the volunteers at this time. The mustering in will probably be done collectively and Lieut. Hardeman is of the opinion that physical examinations will be impracticable. Of course the Governor will pay the ex- penses of transportation and provide for the troops after they are mustered in. Adjutant-General Bell expressed astonish- ment at the report from §t. Louis that ac- cording to agreement F. H. Hunicke, com- mander of the late lamented Naval Reserves, is to be made a major. “I know nothing about {t,”” he sald, ‘‘and he can’t be a major till I say so. The only way he can become a Major is to be eleated by the line officers of the regiment, an ihen pass an examination. I promise you that. We are bound to no agreement, and we don’t propose to elevate anybody to high rank unless he can prove himself qualified.”’ As Mr. Hunicke is not a military man this shuts him out of the coveted majorship. The same rule applies to Messrs. Lynn and sarstow. If they are elected captains by the two new companies and pass the exami- nation they will get commissions and not otherwise. Gen. Bell promises, too, that the examining board gehall be made up of com- petent men who will not use whitewash, The report that the line officers had selected Messrs. Lynn and Barstow as captains and had recommended them to Gen. Bell for commissions thus falis to the ground. They must win their spurs. Jen. Bell could not accede to this Hun- icke-Lynn-Barstow proposition if he wanted to, as the law compels election of officers and examinations. Brig.-Gen, Milton A. Moore of Kansas City will have to be satisfied with the Col- oneley of a regiment. ie has no chance for appointment to the brigade command- ship which will be made by the President, and which wil likely be made outside of Missouri. There is a possibility that about twenty men of light battery B, Kansas City, Chris Klingmann commanding, may be incorpor- ated in light battery A, as a salve to the wounded feelings of the artillerymen from the Kaw. As a final word to the public Gen. Bell said: “TI know there has been impatience and eriticism at our delav, but this proves ignorance of the situation, Illinois is furnishing a demonstration of the mistake of haste. Their troons are now costing them thousands of dollars a day and will continue to do so for weeks, probably until thev gre mustered in. TI have, tn fact, ex- ceeded my authority in ordering recruit- ing af companies to a war footing without orders from Washington. The Legislature gives only $10.00 a vear for our troops, and thie situation should be a good lesson to it in future.” MAY RETURN TO THEIR JOBS. Missouri! Pacific Employes May Enlist on Leaves of Absence. Emploves of the Missonri Pacific Railway who enlist will be guaranteed their posi- tions on their return, unless physically in- capacitated. Little Rock Division No. 131, Order of Railroad Conductors of the Mis- souri Pacific Railway, began the agitation of the subject, and formulated a resolution providing for leaves of absence to be ex- tended to men who enlist, until honorably discharged, and which they were to ask the officials of the road to adopt. General Manager Doddridge, before the resolution officially reached him, authorized the state- ment that the request would be acceded to. NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT. Regularity is a matter of importance in every woman’s life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble. Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time. The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per- formance of nature’s function. The statement we print from Miss GER- TRUDE Sixes, of Eldred, Pa., is echoed inevery city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says: ** Dear Mrs. Pinksam:—lI feel likes new person since following your ad- vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain- ful menstruation and leucorrhea. I was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies I never had any faith in patent medi- cines. ] now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia KE. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound; also would ay that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrh@a. I hope these few words may help suffering women.” The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs, Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during a single year.

BROKE OUT OF HIS CAGE. U 4 \ William Jenkins Relieved to Have Passed a Check Drawn in an Unauthorized Way. For half an hour Friday morning a dap- per young man was held prisoner in an up- 2 ; right glass showcase at the Brauer Hiarness Co.’s establishment, 1914 Pine street. At last he broke out of his cage, painfully lacerating his bare hands on the sharp, ragged edges of the shattered glass. After thus liberating himself. he ran into the arms of Policeman Jones. At the Four Courts the prisoner gave the name of William Jenkins. He is held) on the charge of passing @ bogus check on the Brauer Harness Co. : It is alleged that about 6 o'clock Thursday evening Jenkins entered the harness es tab- lishment, saying: “Tl am Mr. Jones of the Jones Hardwood Floor Co. I want a set of harness. The harness salesmen, with becoming re- spect for the man who makes hard fluors, showed the caller through the pare and made a $10 sale. Jenkins tendered a check for $14.2, drawn upon the Merchants’-Lia- clede Bank and bearing the signature 0. Thomas Cantwell. The check was accepted and the difference paid in cash. “I will eall in the morning and get the harness,” said the purcnaser. 7 Sure enough he returned, according to romise. Meanwhile the SBrauers had earned, so it is alleged, that Cantwell, who is a plumber at 2842 Olive Street, had not signed the check, Several of the stalwart young salesmen took bodily possession of Jenkins, and for want of a better place, they threw him into a big show case, pending the arrival of a policeman. Jenkins is in the holdover, awaiting investigation. The police know but little of the prisoner. IRON WORKERS’ DEMANDS. Believed That a Settlement Will Be Made Without a Strike. Labor leadrs in high authority did not believe Friday that the trouble between the ftronwarkere and the bosses would re- sult seriously. The bridge and structural workers have presented their demands for 3% cents &n hour and an eight-hour day. Some opposi- tion has developed to granting them, but labor leaders believe things can be amicably eettled without a clash. Conferences @re being held, and it was authoritatively stated Friday morning that the whole sentiment of the meetings wes that of peace. The big Hamilton-Brown building at Twelfth street and Washington avenue ia likely to be the first battle scene, should hostilitles begin. From there it would spread among all the large downtown build- ings under construction, and soon the en- gagement would become general. The Bridge and Structural Iron Workers are affiliated with the Building Trades Council. and any question touching the eight-hour principle is sure to receive the hearty co-operation of this bi organiza- tion. Should a strike be order the mem- bers of the Building Trades Councll would be compelled to join in, thus precipitating a great tie-up in construction work. NEW RAILROAD TO PEORIA. St. Louis, Peoria & Northern to Open for Business Sunday. The new Peoria short line—St. Louls, Peoria & Northern Railway—wiill be opened for freight and passenger eervice May 1, is an entirely new line, constructed of seventy-five pound steel rails, eteel bridges and a new freight and passenger equip- ment, including palace sleeping cars and reclining chair cars.
