HUSBAND - Mrs. Herman Schiller Re- ceives Serious Wound. FREC KRAMER IS ARRESTED THE MEN WERE FIGHTING WHEN THE SHOT WAS FIRED. Each Accuses the Other—Little Ru- dolph Found the Revolver and Handed It to His Father. Mrs. Louisa Schiller was accidentally shot at her home, 2421 South Third street, Mon- day night while acting as a peacemaker in a fierce fight between her husband, Her- man, and Fred Kramer of 1512 Menard street. Fearing that Kramer would kill her husband with the revolver, for which both men were fighting, the woman rushed between the combatants and received a bullet in her left leg. The ball shattered the bone. Physicians say that amputation must foliow, and that the nature of the wound indicates a seri- ous result. Kramer is locked up at the Wyoming Street Police Station.

Mrs. @Gchiller ran into the room. She saw that Kramer was forcing her husband to the wall. Dodging innocently between the maddened men was her baby boy. She implored the men to stop. Rudolph was shoved aside. Clasping her husband Mrs. Schiller shielded his body with her own. The weapon was discharged. Mrs. Schil- ler sank to the floor, pulling Schiller down Kramer ran from the room. Schiller knelt, beeging his wife to speak. Emma and Willie, two older ihildren, were screaming.

Because the city is without funds to pay its portion of street improvement costs, the board of public improvements Tuesday morning reduced further consideration to petitions for reconstruction from the prop- brick and asphalt streets.”’ “The city has not the money to do the necessary grading,’ said Street Commission- er Vazrelmann in recommending that the measures be dropped. “In many of the cases the property owners want macadam pavement, and might not be willing to pay for anything better. Perhaps, by the time the city has the money to pay its por- tion, the poopie will be ready to petition for brick and asphaltstreets.’ The streets, which will remain proved as a result of the board's action, the following: Old Manchester road, between lvanhoe avenue and the city limits; Sarpy, between Sarah and Boyle; Page, between West End and Walton; Arsesnail, between Spring and Gustine; Maple, between Goodfellow sand Hodiamont; Kenneriy, between ‘Taylor and Marcus; Grand, between Itaska and Mer- amec; Virginia, between Arsenal ond Pes- talozzi; Gratiot, between Sarah and BKovle; Prather, between Manchester and Mitchell; Michigan, between Davis and Hurck; Twen- ty- third, between Mallinckrodt uid Farrar; Labadie, between Lambdin and Newstead: California, between Caroline and Chlputein;: Pennsylvania, between Wyoming a Juni- ata; Nagel, between Michigan and Virginia; Delmar, between Clara and city limits; Montgomery, between Elliot and Glasgow: Texas, between Cherokee and Arsenal: Grand, between Chippewa and Miami: Grove, betayeen Bailey and Kossuth; Vest, between Salisbury and Newhouse; New- house, between Twentvy-fifth and Vest: Ne- braska, between Gravois and Magnolia. b-- tween Sidney and Shenandcah; Semple, be- tween Haston and North Market; Penn- sylvania, hetween Potomac and Cherokee; Oregon, between U 7 and Wyoming: Jose- phine, between La Salle and Chouteau: Connecticut, between ‘Russe! and Oak Hill: McCausland, between Wise and Clayton, sagen lakland, between Clayton and McCaus- anc COLLAR AND SHIRT COMBINE Company With $20,000,000 Capital Will Include Nearly All of the Troy, N.

Hencken's new tailor-made gown Thursday evening, by throwing a quantity of thick, black and ‘sticky oil all over it, is being g£ought by Police Captain O’Malley’s men. Mrs. Hencken lives with her husband at 2116 Madison street. Last Thursday after- noon she and her sister, Mrs. John EI- wange, had been visiting with friends on Hogan street. It was nearly 6 o'clock when they started home. The distance was short and they decided to walk. It was at that time of the day when the streets were crowded, and neither of the women felt any alarm. When at Nine- teenth and Madison streets they were walking west. Mrs Hencken was on the outer edge of the pavement, At this point the women observed a man who walked rapidly, as though he were go- fing to pass them. When he was ciose enovgh to reach out and lay his honds,on them he stopped and suddenly darted off rapidly in the mouth of a dark alley and disappeared. Nothing more was thought of the occurrence until Mrs. Hencken reached her home. Then she asked liked her new gown. It was a tan tailor- made affair and it was the second time she had ever worn it and the first time her husband had seen it. Then it was that Mrs. Hencken learned that her suit was ruined. Great stripes of thick black grease ran down the back of her jacket and skirt. The sight sickened her. The work of the oil thrower was _sre- ported to the police ~Mrs. Hencken could give no accurate description of the man who she believes threw the oil, as she paid no heed to him at the time the oil must have been, thrown, On several occdsions before North St. Louts has been visited bv an oi! thrower. The garments of Miss Birdie Stageman, livings on North Twenty-first street, and Mrs. Wisnoth of Twenty-fifth and Warren Streets, were ruined in a similar manner a year ago.

TO HOLD UP THE FAIR BILL. Republican Legjslators Wanted to Play It Against the Nesbit Law. | Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 12.—At the | Republican caucus last night a proposition was submitted to petition President Mc- and congressmen to hold up the $5,000,000 appro- priation for the St. Louis World’s Fair unless the Missouri Legislature repealed ithe Nesbit election law. or some days past there has been dis- the Republican members, several of whom declared a new place of the present one, consisting of | Sickles of Putnam and Hawthorne of Kan Pettis.

This step was blocked by the liberal Re- publicans, who insisted that the Democrat- 'ic members of the Legislature would then pass the $1,000,000 appropriation and thus the opposition party get all the credit for help- ing the World's Fair. In a speech Hawthorne of Kansas City re- marked that the minority party in this with the Congress United States and ridiculed the ef- forts of the St. Louis Republicans to inter- fere with the appropriation. This ended the incident. CONSCIENCE TOOK A RECESS. Ar- As a Result Herman Korner Is rested for Theft.

LANSING, Mich., Feb. 12.~The Michigan Supreme Court today handed down an opin- ion aftirming the judgment of the Wayne County circuit bench that franchises receiv- ed from the city are taxable. The decision was in the case of what is now the Detroit United Ratlway Co., the corporate name of the consolidated street rai. way systems otf the city, against the city assessors of De- troit. Last vear the assessors increased the assessment of the railway company from $2,600,000 to $8,142,100, on the assump- tion that its franchises were taxable.

Left alone with his baby brother, Arthur, | while their mother went out to buy some coffee cake, little 39-year-old George Duffy |'romped too close to the big kitchen stove family dwelling, 5615 North Market | Street, about 4:30 o’clock Monday afternoon ,}and received burns that resulted in his | death an hour and a half later. | George was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. James Duffy. The two older boys and the baby had been playing about the house all afternoon and Mrs. Duffy felt that no harm would befall them if she should leave them alone for a few moments while she went to a neighboring grocery. To make sure that they would be safe Mrs. Duffy tightened the doors of the stove and took other precautions. She _ took James, Jr., aged 6, with her, leaving Geor- gie playing about the floor and the baby slumbering in his cradle. When she and little Jimmie returned from the store, about 15 minutes later, Georgie was not in sight. She called for the hittle boy, but there was no response. Jimmie said that possibly he was under the house, as he had a habit of crawling under there; but he was not there. Then Mrs. Duffy began a search of the two front rooms. In the bedroom she noticed smoke that seerg@°d to come from under the bed. She and Jimmie hastily looked under the bed and found poor little Georgie with his dress on fire. He was dragged out, the flames extinguished and Dr. Hitch of 5600 Easton avenue summoned. The child died ibout 6 o'clock. Mrs. Duffy told the Post-Dispatch Tues- day morning that she was not certain as to how the little boy received his fata! burns. She believes, though, that the child wandered too near the stove and then crawled under the bed in an effort to extin- guish the blaze that partially enveloped him.

Yet Nearly All Agree That the Pres- ent System of Levying Taxes Is Faulty and Should Be Changed. From a Post-Dispatch Sta Correspondent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.; Feb. 12.—Mem- bers of the General Assembly are undecided as to the advisability of submitting to the people at this time the question of a con- stitutional convention to revise the state constitution. All agree that the current constitution from which the laws of Missouri derive their right and effect is to e certain extent faulty and does not provide the fabric of an equitable system of taxation, During the present session of the Legis- lature there have been proposed not less than 30 resolutions, specifying various amendments to the constitution, which re- quire popular ratification. In the course of a recent address to the legislators, Mr. F. N. Judson of St. Louis, who has given the subject of state taxa- : WONG BANK Package of $50,000 Ex- pressed to St. Louis, INTENDED FOR NEW YORK FOR A TIME A CHICAGO BANE WAS IN TURMOIL. It Hed Shipped Two Packages, One of £25,000, the Other of $50,000, and They Went to Wrong Destinations. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—For several hours yesterday bank officials in Chicago and New York were in a frenzy of excitement over the disappearance and supposed rob- bery of $25,000 from a package of curren- cy in transit to this city from the eastern metropolis. The money package had been ordered by a Chicago bank from a banking house in New York, the shipment being made through an express company. When the package reached its destina- tion here it’ was found to contain not the $50,000 ordered and which the invoice letter credited as having been sent, but only $25, - 000, one-half the sum for which the Chi- cago banking house was expected to ac- knowledge by formal written receipt. There was no sign that the sealing wax on the package had been tempered with, while the mail advices that arrived in the morning made it plain that $50,000 had been sent. The officials of the Chicago bank refused tion exhaustive study, said: ‘‘We have got- ten back to the middle ages in our present method of taxation. The weak and poor, while the rich escape their just debt to the state. “We ean continue to patch the present | constitution by adding amendments, but un-| til a radical change is expected there can De | no fair solution of the taxation problem.” The chief objection to the proposed con- vention is urged by the representatives of the rural districts, who are disposed to think the safeguards surrounding the pres- ent constitution would be liable to disturb- ance by a constitutional convention. It is argued, moreover, that the larger cities of the state would be chiefly benefited by a constitutional revision. The contention, too, is made that there is now no general demand for a constitutionai convention, and until the matter is more ex- tensively agitated the Legislature should defer action. The following expressians obtained by temper of subject: Judge Hawkins, Marion: I heartily favor a constitutional convention. We need a thorough overhauling of the existing consti- tution, and I believe that steps looking to the calling of a constitutional convention should be taken at once. Matt Hall, Saline: I think the matter should be postooned until after the World's Fair. By that time the state will have en- larged so much that a constitutional con- vention will be imperative. This is a ques- tion that deserves careful consideration, and it is best to give the people plenty of opportunity to determine just what sort of a new constitution they want. Thomas Hackney, Jasper: I have not made up my mind yet. The people in the small sections are not so favorably inclined 'to the idea as those in the large cities of the state. There is, of course, an abundance of weak spots in our constitution, and the surplus of amendments which has been add- ed since 1875 show a new one is necessary. J. J. DickingOn, Henry: I do not lean to the approval of a constitutional convention of members the Post-Dispatch show the the General Assembly on the and helpless bear the greatest tax burden, | to receipt for the package, informed the ex- press company of the shortage and notified the bank in New York. After a lively interchange of telegraphic and telephone messages between this city and New York a telegram was received by the cashier of the Chicago bank advising him to reship the $25,000 to a bank in St. Louis. This message was at once taken as affording an explanation of the mystery, it being taken for granted that the $50,000 ordered by the bank in Chicago had been sent to the St. Louis concern and that the 25,000 received was intended for the St. Louis bank.

' HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Feb. 12.—An oil well that surpasses the famous gusher at Beaumont, Tex., was struck in the Black- ford County oil field yesterday.

CHRISTIAN DE WET. Now as Peace Commissioner, Without Credentials, He Is Endeavoring to Induce the Boers to Do What They Will Not—Surrender. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Charles D. Pierce, the Orange Free State consul-general, has given out a statement by W. D. Snyman, commandant on Gen. De Wet’s staff, in re- piy to a published letter purporting to have been written to Gen. De Wet by his brother, Fiet de Wet. This letter urged de Wet to surrender to the British. Commandant Sny- man says: “I notice that the British censor its very ready to transmit this letter almost in its entirety, although any news favorable to the Boers is very rigidly curtailed. Next let us consider the relationship between the brothers. P. De Wet was assistant com- mandant-general of the Orange Free Stace, | and took at Sand It was by rt in numerous battles. River, when outflanked * On Kroonstad: when P. De Wet and I rode trom the general to carry out orders to start the convoys with guns and ammunition, I then gathered from him (FP. De Wet) that he was ag inst proceeding any further than KLroonstad. and instead of going to the ap- pointed place he branched off with his com- mando to his farm near Lindley, which was the last Ume I saw him. We were then ordered to concentrate our oreces at Rooi Kopjes, and naturally P Wet received similar instructions: we rd rumors that he was communicating with Lord Roberts to surrender, rumors which were reported by his burchers. Gen. De Wet then ordered his brother to come to the front at once, and on his refusal) dls- lased him and apport ated Commandant ouse in his place. . De Wet then, with & staff, four in all, went to Kroonstad and surrendered. “We then heard that he was sent as pris- ow, to my su a peace commissioner to i Kitchener.

De Wet gave instructions | for us to leave our positions and fall back | trange proposing to a | that the Orange Free State with its free |compulsory education for the last fifteen years, is far in advance of the Cape Colo- ny, which has still the voluntary system. “The letter goes on to say that the Brit- ish have the country and are not likely to give it up; it does not seem so when Lord Kitchener has to cable for 30,000 more troops. After all, what parts of the two countries, do the British actually hold? Only the principal towns along the rail- road. As to the taunts in regard to the inactivity of the Transvaal burghers, why, if Botha and his comrades are doing no fighting. is Kitchener keeping 60,000 men at Pretoria? “T am inclined to think that this letter, like the book of Mr. Paul Botha, is of Brit- ish manufacture. “Knowing my people as I do, I say here that it does not lie in the power of Presi- dent Steyn, Gen. de Wet or any other erson to surrender unconditionally. This 8 a war fought by the people, not by gen- erals and presidents, and can never be ended except by unanimous consent of the burghers. Under present ‘circumstances, why should the Boers give up? They have lost everything, all they can now gain is their country and freedom, for which they are fighting and will fight to the end.’ PLAYED POKER 160 HOURS When Arrested the Players Were on the Verge of Collapse and Looked Like Ghosts. |Special to the Post-Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—A story comes to Washington from Rooneys Point, W. Va., that James Cahill of that place reg- ularly works an elephant on his farm. The elephant can do more team of horses, and when it comes to hauling logs, is far and away ahead of any team.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—The Lincoln anni- versary celebration at Carnegie Hall last night was notable for vigorous expressions on the late war from two well-known men and ex-confederates. Samuel M. Clemens (Mark Twain) presided and in Itnt¥oducing Col. Henry Watterson of Louisville said: “It is a remarkable fact that, with the whole country to pick from, you should have called upon two old rebels, Col. Wat- terson and myself, to take the principal parts in this great meeting. But are not the blue and the gray one today? I was a second lieutenant in the confederate serv- ice. Watterson here, as colonel, rendered me such assistance as he cuvuld. If he had only strictly obeyed my orders I should have succeeded in my vast enterprise. It was my intention to drive Gen. Grant into the Pacific. 1 told Col. Watterson to sur- round the eastern armies and wait until I came. But he was insubordinate and the union was saved.” Col. Watterson, in the course of his ad- dress said: “For my part I thank God that the war did not end at Fortress Monroe, or by any other civil proceeding, but was fought on out to the bitter end at Appomattox, so that Slavery might be annihilated.’’ Excursion Sleeping Cars TO LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCIS- CO.

There was a story that the erase purchasing the tickets represented imself as a policeman and got a cheaper rate. . Melyille was not a witness at the first trial, but it was upon his affidavit that Kennedy was granted a new trial. Detectives Cfrey and Smith, at the first trial,*testified that in Dr. Kennedy's cellar they found a piece of lead pipe, which ex- perts declared fitted the end of the biud- geon with which Dolly Reynolds killed. In his affidavit Melville swore that Carey and Smith visited him a few days after the murder. Shortly after their departure he missed a piete of lead pipe and the piece of lead pipe the detectives produced in court resembled in every particular the piece taken from his shop. The evidence heard in, the trial of Dr. Kennedy thus far has not been as convinc- ing as on the first trial. Witnesses have been as positive in their identification, but have been tn the main unable to recollect anything else that occurred on the night of the murder. The whole question of the prisoner's inno- cence or guilt may hang on the testimony of witnesses as to the hour he went home to Staten Island on the morning of the murder at the Grand Hotel. A witness to whose testimony Messrs. McIntyre and Hennessy of the prosecu- tion attach great importance, claims to have seen the accused man on a ferryboat which left the Battery for St. George at 3:40 a. m. The witness will swear that he knows Kennedy well and could not be mistaken. The defense has called witnesses, secured who wiH swear Kennedy left for home on the 1:46 boat.

A Convass of the Senate Shows That Not a Single Republican Member Would Support the Idea. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Republicans have not got back their breath since the fierce attack on the billion-dollar steel trust in the House yesterday. Representa- tive Babcock of Wisconsin, a member of the House committee on ways and means, and chairman of the Republican Congres- sional campaign committee, proposed an amendment to the Dingley law practically putting steel and its products on the free list. This is the most sweeping repeal ever proposed by a Republican. Mr. Babcock frankly admits that he pro- posed the amendment in order to reach the vast combination. “IT feel convinced that this amendment will be favorably acted upon by the com- mittee on ways and means,” said he to the Post-Dispatch. “Mr. Babcock said that he would en- deavor to have a conference with Speaker Henderson and other Republican leaders of the House early today and see if the amendment could not be foreed through. Interviews with every prominent Repub- lican member of the committee shows that not one supports the idea. Mr. Babcock has thrown the Republic- ans into confusion by his move, and the Democrats are jubilant. A GOOD THING, SAYS GATES. The Great Steel Combine, He Thinks, Will Benefit Everyone.

The large number of clergymen who spoke on municipal conditions Sunday morning is evidence enough that the sub- ject has aroused widespread interest. ; The keynote of all these addresses is honesty, devotion to the public welfare and the postponement of selfishness and greed to the common good. This thought is the heart of all of them, - A great and good work can be done by the clergy of the city if, without regard to religious doctrine or denomina- tional differences, they unite and throw the weight of their influence into the scales against the wrongdoers who thrive on municipal mischieis. The need of the time is a strong body of citizens who by their position and character command the confidence of the people, all working to a common purpose. This must be energetic and ceaseless. They must enlist, mot for three months, but for the war, and not sleep while there is work to do. The clergyman can make himself heard and his influence felt as citizens of no other profession can do, It is an op- portunity for beneficent service. = = de — a A clergyman urging the voters of St. Louis to cast their ballots for clean men, took his text from Jeremiah. Were Jeremiah now on earth and a citizen of St. Louis his lamen- tations would be long and loud. _—=_——_ = i a A D. NATION AND WIFE, Mr. Carrie Nation, husband of the Kansas tornado of that name, frankly confesses his inability to keep up with his wiie. He ought to feel grateful to her. According to his own statement to the correspondent of the Post-Dispatch at Wichita, his financial success is largely due to her, and he owns “up to $200,000, Besides, he. gives her a good name.in all things but. sa- logon smashing, and his criticism of her activity in that re- spect is directed to the method, not the smashing itself. It is fortunate that tornadoes are never mated. One in the house is quite enough. Kansas people think one in the state is as much as they can stand. Just think what the Nation home and the state of Kansas would have to endure if Papa and Mamma were both vortexes of destruction. Let Papa Nation be comforted. Not many men are blessed with wives able to make $200,000 for them and still find time to smash things. He is a nice old gentleman, apparently, but he ought by this time to know his place and be content to keep it. = = a a. An American merchant who possessed the confidence of Gen.

It is a remarkable symposium, well worthy the attention of thoughtful men. It is noteworthy that nearly all these ladies frankly confess a preference for home life and deplore the conditions which make it necessary for them to go into business. One says tersely and with an air of profound conviction, “the proper sphere of woman is where she can do the most Exactly, but that is what.the logicians call, “begging Where can she do the most good? Another says: “Home is the dearest spot on earth, yet I do not think it should be made the circumference of woman's action and influence.” That's a good shot, but isn’t it pos- sible to exercise influence in the world by applying it through a man, the man? : Still another says “Making a home is a business just as much as running a law office or mercantile business or any other work. undertaken by Woman away from home.” Is it? If so, let every bachelor pray to be saved from a home. The question, “Why do women’ work?” may not. be @nswered to everybody's satisfaction in this little discussion, No man can read these contribu- tions and remain in doubt as to why women succeed. i hi di — sa. There will certainly be a boom in telepathy if it can be fully proven that a courtship has been successfully carried on tele- pathically. The aging bachelor or the flingering maiden, without speaking a word, and regardless of distance, can pro- at thoughts that fetch amorous responses, and the end is ppy matrimony. We may behold in the new century an end to all single blessedness. é = = i i A PARISIAN NOVELTY. In @ romance by H. G.

The route proposed, saya “Electricity,” passes under the great boulevards, the Boulevard : topol, the Rue Turbigo and the Rue de Rivoli. In place ‘of the three platforms at the Exposition the new scheme em- a ee braces four. The first, as at the Exposition, will be stationary, iy second will have a velocity of 1.50 meters (5 feet), the third | Bee meters (10 feet) and the fourth 5 meters (16% feet).

The proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the ap- pointment of a board of-thirtecn to prepare a new charter for the city of St. Louis is a response to a generally acknowl- edged need. Kut the amendment directs that the new charter shall pro- vide for “a chief executive and at least one house of legis- lation to be elected by general ticket.”’ Why limit the discretion of the Charter Board? The Board should not be hampered or vexed by any restric- tion whatever. If given a free hand they can prepare a charter which sha!l meet the practical need. To make them conform in any respect to abstract political theory is pretty sure to tnpair the usefulness of their work. A city is a business corporation designed to promote the economic and social well-being of the community. Politics should have nothing to do with it, and no political theory or iragment of a theory should be injected into its constitution. Give the Board a free hand. = = If the Senate has not the right to demand and receive all papers on file in the executive departments, there cannot be the publicity necessary to honest government. All sorts of iniquity can be covered up by an administration if Congress can be kept in ignorance of the truth. = = = The profit on unprotected American cottonseed kernels in France promises to be large. With high prices for both cot- ton and cottonseed, that get no tariff aid whatever, and no boosts from trusts of any sort, what are we to understand? Is it all McKinley magic? = = * ——. a Only four places were found for 245 women who in nine months applied to the Free Employment Bureau in St. Louis for positions in offices.

It is sad that the generals of our army are put to the necessity of ex- posing silly campaign lies. —e-0-e--——_____—_ The proposed combination of the four great steel concerns is said to involve interests amounting to $600,000,000. How much would the interests of consumers be considered by such a combination? The Lisbon journal that declares the Anglo-Portuguese al- liance means the ruin of Portugal is likely to be right.

From the Kansas City Star. ‘hos rsons who Want Missouri's laws changed so as to give gy CS enough revenue to look clean and fine when the World's Fair opens, in 1903, do not care whether the relief comes by a constitutional convention or by amendments, just so it comes. The matter is so important and urgent that both means are sug- geated by’ friends of St. Louls, so that if one fails the other may go through. If the submission of constitutional amendments in the fall election of 1902 ts exclusively relied » tony it will not only be too late for St. Louis to profit by, but if the people vote nega- tively, through a misunderstanding of the matter, the result will be disastrous. It is believed that the Clay amendment affords the best solution of the revenue problem, but [f it is submitted In 1902, successfully, there would hardly be time for its effect to be feit in St. Essie before the opening of the World's Fair.

As for the struc- ture in the center, the first bewildering glance revealed what seemed to be a deli- cately sculptured mountain of pure ala- baster, supporting on its crest a sparkling dome light as a radiant bubble, which might at any moment float away and van- ish into air. After one rapturous look at its sublime proportions the last doubt was dispelled forever—the conquest was com- lete—and I became a worshiper of the aj, like all the millions who had gone be- fore me. The fundamental secret of its charm, like that or most things that are truly great, is its simplicity. It is not com- plicated in design. It has the purity and simple majesty of the Jungfrau. It is to Saracenic art what the Athenian Par- thenon was to Grecian art. The mind can grasp it without effort. Its perfect har- mony recalls the phrase of Mme. de Stael, ‘Architecture is frozen music.’ One part balances another, the platform is pro- portioned to the pedestal, the smaller domes to the great central one, and the minarets to the entire structure. It is the one completelv faultless edifice that man as reared. Gazing on this miracle of beauty I watched the Old Year take its fight and the New Year steal in with noiseless footsteps, as if to pay its first devotions to the Taj. And as saw the moonlight gild the slender minarets till they appeared like beautiful wax tapers, lighting this abode of death. and then be- glorified expression it seemed too wonder- ful to be reality.

The “Old Man of the Flag” is to be succeeded at the Oakland track in San “Prince of Francisco by Jake Holtman, a St. Louisan. Caldwell’s work for some time has been | very poor, and the betters and spectators | have been howling for a change. Such is | life. Five years ago these same people | could not be made to believe that it was possible for Caldwell to make a bad start. Caidwell has spent the greater part of his life on the turf. Until four or five years ago he could name his own price to handle the flag. Mvery track in the country sought his services. He received as high as $150 a day for sending away the horses. TIlis work was so clean that he was popular with all the patrons of the tracks. That was before the starting gate came into use, Caldwell never appeared to be able to handle the horses and jockeys as well with the gate as he did without it. Caidwell had a marvelously quick eye He was also cocl and determined. Jockeys, from coast to cvast, were afraid of the old man. if he told them to line up and quit cutting capers they did so, or tlrey were fined. Caldwell did not fine often, but when he did, it went, and the boys knew that they would have to pay good money if they became unruly while Caldwell oc- cupied the starter’s stand. aldwell’s eyesight must be failing him. He has also lost his ability to control the jockeys. Reports from the coast say that nine out of ten of Caldwell’s starts re- cently have resembled a St. Patrick’s day parade going up Biddle street. Holtman, who will succeed Caldwell on the coast, is under contract to start at the Fair Grounds with Dick Dwyer next sum- mer. Several years ago Holtman was rominent as an amateur boxer. For awhile e held the amateur heavyweight cham- pionship of the West. He began on the turf as a Whipper-in, and for a couple of seasons was with “Curly’’ Brown. At Cin- cinnati he was given a chance with the flag and did so well that he secured a per- manent position. Gov. Yates’ threat to stop boxing in IIll- nois will kill Johnny Connors’ quiet little game in Springfield. The bantam has an athletic club organized in the Illinois capi- tal and has been doing a nice business in a quiet way. Only recently he pulled off a carnival and nearly all of the legisiators were present. Johnny Richie was figuring _ getting a fight on with Benny Yanger, to be decided in Springfield. Connors was | willing to offer a purse, but now it is hardly probable that the governor will stand for any more fighting right under his nose. Prince Poniatowski’s Tanforan track made the best showing in the first day of the turf war which began at San Francisco Monday. Thirteen books drew on at Tan- foran, while only 10 did business at Oak- land. This means that Prince Long Name received $300 more from the betting ring than the managers of the Oakland track. But $300 is but a mere drop in the bucket in a turf war. Thousands of dollars can be lost in a week when two tracks conflict. It is hardly probable that the war wili iast long. The pocketbook always brings stub-| born managers to their senses. ——————— SRR ERE The players appear to be weakening in their stand. ‘There have been several de- sertions.

The players who helped organize it and are loyal will not stand back much longer while many of the. stars are accepting the fat saiaries offered by Ban Johnson's league It is now Said that Jimmy Collins of Bos- ton, Harry Lajoie of Philadeiphia and Joe MecGinnity of Brooklyn have accepted offers from Ban Johnson and his assoclates.

JUDGE HOLLISTER IS SILENT. , Manager Brady Announces That If In- junction Is Granted Fight Will Not Take Place. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.—Just what Judge Hollister means by holding up his decision on the proceedings to enjoin the Jeffries- Ruhlin fight is not known. It is regarded as probable that the Injunc- tion will be granted, In that event no effort will be made to have the fight take place in defiance of the court’s order. Manager Brady confirms this statement. “An adverse decision by the court,’ he said, “‘will practically end the fight so far as Cincinnati is concerned.’ ial Will the contest take place anywhere else? “That is hard to answer. It will be im- possible to transfer it just now, but it will surely occur somewhere at some time, prob- | nearer the Pacific coast. But Brady's reference to the possible can scarcely mean that an atyesiet to off the affair at Carson Is likely. California is the most likely candidate for | the battle. we) The Saengerfest Club announces that the | | sales of seats amounts to $40,000 -—~ a on SPORTING NEWS| f OF THRDAY | + BRIEFLY TOLD . } iaetoiaeasiere come | A Jockeys Lester and Johnny Reiff will ride for W.

ON ALL SPECIAL PRIVILEGES THE MEASURE IS ESPOUSED BY GOV. DOCKERY. It Meets With General Favor in the Lower Chamber of the Legislature and Seems Sure of Passage. Wrom a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 12.—At a meeting of the House ways and means committee last night it was unanimously decided to report favorably the franchise tax bill, prepared by Representative Wool- folk of Lincoln and Hawthorne of Kansas City, what is the substitute for the other franchise feasures introduced at this se- sion. As stated in Monday's Post-Dispatch the bill applies to public service corporations, which are enumerated as follows: “Every incorporated railroad company, street railroad company, telegraph compa- ny, telephone company, electric light com- pany, electric power company, gas compa- ny, water works company, ferry company, bridge company, turnpike company, tollgate company, palace or parlor car company, chair car company. conduit company, sub- way company, express company, press dis- patch company, trust company and every other like company, corporation or associa- tion having or exercising any special privi- lege, power or right not conferred by law to natural persons by public authority and os typ 8a a public or yy public serv- wy shall, in addition to other taxes imposed mf law, annually pay to the state a tax of 15 cents on each $100 valuation of its franchise in this state, for state purposes, and 10 cents on each $190 of such valuation for the payment of the state indebtedness and a local tax thereon to the ee: city, incorporated town or village, township, dis- trict or school district, wherein the fran- chise may be exercised, used, owned or controlled, said tax to be collected as other taxes are collected for like purposes.”’ The last section of the bill is indicative of the fact ihat the present statutes are insufficient to assess franchise values. It reads: ‘There being now no specific and adequate provision for taxing franchises of corporations herein mentioned, creates an emergency within the meaning of the con- stitution, and this act shall be in force from and after its passage.”’ Gov. Dockery has announced to members of the ways and means committee that the administration will give this bill its hearty —" oth the Democratic and Republican members of the House re the bill fa- vorably, and it will probably pass the lower branch of the assembly inside of 10 days.

A Cloud of Witnesses of the New Amish Faith Will Fill the Court at Pekin, Il. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PEKIN, Ill, Feb. 12.—Samuel Moser, self- confessed murderer of his wife and three children, has pleaded ‘“‘not guilty.’”’ The murder was committed on Sunday evening, May 13, 1900, Moser following: his wife into the cellar and shooting her with a pistol, then calling his children in from the yard and killing them one by one, the eldest being aged 7 years and the younges. a babe of 9 months. He attributes his pres- ent condition to the upon him by the members and ministers oi the New Amish Church, from which he al- leges to have been expeiled for fondling his child, they contending he was idolizing it, which was against the teachings of God. The section of the creed which Moser al- leges caused his persecution reads: “We believe and confess that if anyone has so far fallen off, either by a wicked life or a perverted doctrine, that he is separateu from or corrected and punished by the church, such ro ersons must be shunned, ac- cording to Christ and the apostles, and avoided, without partiality by all mem- bers of his church, especially by those to whom it is known, whether in eating or drinking or similar temporal matters, and they shall have no dealings with him nor be made partakers of his sin, but that the sinner may be made ashamed, corrected and led again to repentance.”’ The ministers of the New Amish Church have forbidden Moser’s father, who is wealthy, to aid his son either financially or by counsel, and he has published a state- ment that he will be “satisfied with the law of the land and consider right what- ever is done by law.’ Neither of Moser’s parents or his brothers were in court to- day, though having knowledge of the call- ing of the trial. About 150 witmesses have been summoned, many from all the coun- ties of Central [llinois, where New Amish churches exist. The regular panel oft jurors was exhausted this afternoon with- out a juror being accepted and a special venire for 50 new jurymen was ordered. It is not expected that the jury will be com- pleted before Thursday. Meet me at the Garrison Cafe tonight, 3000 Lawton avenue. EMPRESS AN OBJECTS. She Questions the Right of the Minis- tera to Inflict Capital Punishment. PEKIN, Feb. 12.—Regarding the insist- ence of the ministers on capital punishment for guilty Chinese officials, the Dowager Empress is inclined to be disputatious, She telegraphed to Li Hung Chang today de- manding to know what the _ foreigners mean by changing the terms of the peace proposals. She says that the terms de- manded the severest punishment of the leaders in proportion to their crimes. That was what China agreed to inflict, yet now come the foreigners with a new demand for the heads of all. The Empress adds that she fails to see anything proportionate about that, and de- clares that she will carry out her agree- ment, but will ms no further. She says that ‘Ying Nien an unimportant official and was never a leader of the Boxers. He may, however, have been a follower. Cham Shu Chao did go out to meet the Boxers, but he was only obeying orders. The Em- press insists that the death penalty in on cases is not proportionate to their crimes. Mardi Gras Excursion.
