LOUIS “ 2 wy fase LPI we * Ss Ser a ORR PRORATRLARA Pf the city at a special elec- tion on October 22, are designed to ac- complish three principal objects. The erection of public: buildings, the re- construction of streets and the building of sewers, all conditions, wil amendments receive the approval of a ma- jority of votes cast at the October elecc om. The rate of general taxation will noc be raised by the passage of the amendments. Neither will the city’s bonded debt be in- creased, The amendments, f possible for the cttWite c taxation a fund for, public such a special tax Shall be special election. Cost of Streets to Be Distributed. The cost of street building will be dis- tributed among property owners in a new manner, and the installment plan of pay- ment introduced. The building of 40 miles of needed sewers, to be paid fcr by the owners of property in the territory drained, will be asaured by the passage of the amendments. To these three objects everything con- tained in the amendments is directed, wit. the exception of the section relating to the waterworks. Th's provides that the water- works shall never be sold, leased or other- wise disposed of. Inder the present charter, the city can- not build sewers and erect public buildings, and can do but little toward making new streets. Lack of general revenue now prevents public improvements of these three classes, and will continue to prevent them until the charter {s amended so as to allow the cre- ation of special funds for these purposes. General revenue cannot be increased to meet the demands for streets, sewers and public buildings. City’s Bonded Debt Cannot Be Increased. Recause of restrictions which will con- tinue until the’state constitution is amend- ed, the city’s bonded debt cannot be in- creased. The rate of general taxation is now the highest allowed by law. These are the only sources of general] revenue. With the amendments in force and special funds created, general revenue will be relieved of the burdens of streets, sew- ers and public buildings, and money will be available for park: maintenance, street cleaning and other work which the city is now obliged to neglect. Amendment number four, relating to streets and sewers, is considered the most important of the amendments. : The new system of levying special taxes for street reconstruction is designed espect- ally to make the building of cross streets possible. These now have to be neglected in mary cases because of the heavy bur- den imposed by the present systerm on the owners of corner lots. Plan Suggested for Improving Streets.. The amendment provides. that “ of the cost of improvement of a street shall be assessed on the front foot plan, and ihe 75 f the remaining 75 per cent divided among bw ners a property in the district immedi- ately adjoining. : "The district which shall-share in ihe pav- ment of the 75 per cent includes the prop- ertv fronting on the street, which has ai- ready paid 2 per cent, and as much more property as shall be bounded by a line drawn midway between the streets to be improved and the next parallel street. The same amendment gives the Board of Public 'mprovements the power to create boulevards, requiring the property fronting on them to bear the total cost of their im- provement. Heavy hauling, as at present, s to be excluded from boulevards. 7 The condemnation of private property for street and alley openings is, as at present, to be in the hands of commissioners ap- pointed by the Circuit Court. Anticipating Many Improvements. The cost of sidewalk construction is to be assessed strictly on the front foot pian. Ordinances for street and alley recon- struction, lighting, cleaning and sprinkling and other similar public work are to be recommended to the Municipal Assembly by the Board of Public Improvements. The same amendment establishes a sys- tem of sewers to be known as “joint dis trict’’ sewers. which shall be built at the axpense of all the territory d , hres other classes of sewers are Par r m paid for make it * special Ings. if voted at a ‘passed, wi » per cent " =~’ vided for—‘‘public,” **» he. paid fo general reveluc; ** be ae” ae ae Breseng |, e made possible if the! by special tax: and “private,” to be buitit by iudiv.dual property owners under the city's supervision. The object of the part of the amendment creating the ‘‘joint district’’ system is to enable the building of sewers wh:ch are at present classed as public sewers. and which, while they are greatly needed, the no _moncy.to pay for... ‘ Sewer Work Already Outlined. The sewers on which Commissioner Her- mann proposes to commence work immedi- ately upon the passage of the amendments are the Tower Grove storm sewer, ‘Tvler tract sewer. Cabanne sewer and Arsenal Street relief sewer. Street and sewer improvements are to be paid for by property owners on the in- stallment plan. Seven installments are provided for, the first to be paid 30 davs after notice of the issuance of special tax bills, and the remaining six at intervals of one year. Interest is to be paid on all installments after the first at the rate of 6 per cent per arnum until matiarity, anu of § per cent after maturity. Those who wish t> pay cash at the outset may do so, and will thus avoid ;|the payment ot in- terest. The present obstacle to street improve- ment on the part of the city is the pro- vision that the citv shat pay the excess of the cost of such improvement over 25 per cent of the value of abutting property. Under the present front foot system of levying special taxes, such excesses fre- quentiy occur in the case of corner lots. It has been calculated that, under the new ontagees it would be almost impossible for the cost assessed against any one piece of propetty to exceed 25 per cent of its value. This means that the general rev- enue will be relieved of a burden, and that an impediment to street making will be removed. Special Fund for Public Buildings. Complaints against the quality of work done on street contracts are to be heard by the Board of Public Improvements, and orders issued after examination by two members of the board. The third amendment provides for the creation of a special fund for erecting pub- lic buildings. Such a fund is to be raised by an increase in the tax rate, which may be voted by the Assemblv only after the people shall have approved such a_propo- sition at a special election held for the purpose. The buildings which the first asfort would be made to secure under the amend- ments are the new city hospital and other charitable irwaitutions, and the completion of the new city hall. The second amendment ovblaces in the hands of the city marsha! the serving of all notices of special tax. bills and other yrocesses and orders of the mayor and the heads ef city departments. The purpose of this change from. the present system is to make the date of the serving of special tax bills a matter of legal record. Seeks to Prevent Legislative Obstruction. Amendment No. 1 designed to prevent the obstruction of public improve- ment legislation in the Council or the House of Delegates. It provides that all bills not reported by committeees within forty days shall be again placed before the en- tire body for action. ‘“‘Omnibus”’ bills are also prohibited by the provisions that no bill shall -be so changed as to alter its orig- inal purpose. Amendment No. 5 is as follows: ‘‘The waterworks shall never be sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of. The Assembiy-shall have power from the income, rents and re- ceipts of the waterworks to provide a fund for the renewal and extension thereof, and for the payment of interest and principal of bonds issued for such renewal or exten- sien.” The five amendments are to be voted on individually, and voters who approve some of the amendments and disapprove others will have the opportunity to. show their préference upon each prcposal submitted. Copies of the amendments are soon to be pub'ished by the city for general distri- bution. EMPRESS FREDERICK DYING BERLIN.

STEEL STRIKE SEEMS CERTAIN - — Conference Held in New York Brought No Agreement. MORGAN AND SCHWAB THERE THEY DECLINED TO MODIFY FOR.- MAL PROPOSALS. The Amalgamated Association Must Accept the Trust’s Terms or Order a Strike in All the Mills. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—The steel strike conference held here today failed to ar- rive at an agreement. The proposals made by J. P. Morgan and Charles M. Schwab, through President Shaffer and Secretary Williams of the Amalgamated Association one week ago, are still open, but the strik- ers’ representatives showed no inclination to accept them. The representatives of the Strikers left the conference at which they have failed to agree with the announce- ment that they would go into secret ses- Sion themselves later in the afternoon. It was admitted that there might be action at that meeting which would change the situation. . At the conference of this morning Messrs. Morgan, where he was closeted for a time ance of the terms offered by them on Saturday last. President Shaffer and his associates demanded further concessions in behalf of the union. Neither side would give in and the conferees ‘disagreed and parted, leaving the situation practically unchanged. President Schwab went from the conference to the office of J. Pierpont Morgan and Schwab insisted on the accept- with Robert Bacon. He would not dis- cuss the conference or the strike situa- tion. Soon after the adjournment of the con- ference, D. G. Reid of the American Tin Plate Co. was asked if M. Morgan had as was reported, delivered an ultimatum to the strikers, and he replied that he did not wish to say anything which would put Mr. Morgan in such a position. He said, however, that the strikers’ ex- ecutive committee had until 4 o’clock today to decide whether they would accept the only proposition ever made to them by the United States Steel Corporation, which was that the men should go back to work at last year’s scale of wages. This, and no ather proposition, he sald, had been or would be made tor the Amal- gamated executive committee. President Shaffer, at the close of the con- ference--went to the Stevens House -with the other Amalgamated Association dele- gates. He was asked for a ment as to stat what had been accompltaned af the confer- ence, but he declined to spe on the sub- ject further than to say: : “It’s too serious a matter. I must submit certain matters—understand me, not propo- sitions—to our men before I can speak.”’ He would not say whether or not there was to be another conference. President Shaffer and his 12 assistants of the executive beard of the Amalgamated Association reached New York at 8 oclock this morning. The party divided up in or- der not to attract attention, and in groups of twos and threes, breakfasted at various downtown restaurants. It had been ar- runged that they should conter with Mr. Morgan and the officiais of the steel com- panies at the office of the United Staces Steei Corporation, in the Empire building, at 10:40 o c1ockK, but it was several minutes after that betore the first of the Amaiga- mated vice-presidents arrived. They watted around in the hailways for their fellows, aithough the consulting room in the once of the steel corporation was open to them. They were prepared to discuss aimost any- thing except the steel strike. When President Shaiter and Secretary Williams arrived the whole party filed in- to Mr. Schwab’s office. Mr. Morgan had not yet arrived, but the conference really began pbetore he came. Mr. Scnwab spoke nrst and was talking when Mr. Morgan, who came with C. E. Dawkins, his English partner, and Robert Bacon, arrived. Mr. Morgan followed Mr. Schwab in a brief address to the representatives of la- bor, in which he outlined his position and that of the corporation. He restated the proposals made by himself and Mr. Schwab on Saturday last and sera that they en- compassed all that the employers had t¢ © ji reo discussion followed in which the Amalgamated delegation insisted upon greater concessions than hose offered. ine discussion went into details as to the sign- ing of the scale for several mills, but it was ss. a gs and the steel officials with- drew from the room to gi @ the labor dele- gates a chance to confer privately, In their absence President Shaffer and his as- sociates decided that they could not accept the proposals of last Saturday and so in- formed the steel officials when they re- turned. There was some general discussion of an Unimpes sens nature, and the confer- ence adjourned. Mr. sdoreat. Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Ba- con were the first to leave the bullding, and thev were followed within a few minutes bv the Amalgamated delegation. The latter went at once to the Stevens House for lunch. President Shaffer would not say anything as to the result of the conference. He said he and his companions were going to confer srivately and might issue a statement soon. je said, however, that he had no propo- sition to submit to them. After the labor men went into session in the Stevens House a statement was given out by one of their number that the prop- osition made by the United States Steel Corporation would not be accepted and that there would be no further conference be- tween that corporation and the Amalga- mated Associat’on unless it should be asked for by the former. It was also said that the Amalgamated representatives probably would leave for Pittsburg tomorrow morn- ing. THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. COOLER.

St. Louis Judges Caldwell, Sanborn and Thayer will be cailed on to decide whether the death of James Kerr, a prominent citizen of Manila, Io., at his home July 27, 1897, was suicide or an accident.

Tie waited three days, but the $100 did not geome. Then, at the suggestion of his father-in- law, he says, he swore out a _ warrant “against Kerr, charging him with bigamy. .

You people in Nebraska are not going to starve. It is only a question of how much money you will be able to put in the bank. I notice wheat in Nebraska is good, but oats have probably ripened prematurely. ABILENE, Kan., Aug. 3.—The farmers of Kansas are preparing to get all possible good out of corn. There is in th.s Section no hope for a crop or even a part of a crop of good corn. There may be here and there a few acres that, with favorable weather, will make twenty-five bushels to the acre, but they are scarce. The farmers are not claiming corn, and they almost universally condemn exaggerations of the benefit of local rains, claiming that thereby the price of other grains, especially wheat, is kept down. The local rains in this coun- ty have been so narrow in scope and have been followed by such withering heat that they have done the corn little good. Hun- dred-degree weather has returned, and the effects of the few cool days are lost. Everything that the corn fields can give will be utilized this year. The hardware “Corn is somewhat seriously many farmers are running their wheat self-bind- field, cutting and binding the corn as well as they did the wheat. The cornstalks are so light that they can be easily handled by the machine made for easier work. The bundles are allowed to dry, and are stacked for ‘‘roughness’”’ dur- ing the winter. Many corn binders are also being sold, more than ever before, and it is safe to say that practically every staik of corn in this county that can be used tor feeding will be cut and saved for fodder. There is no expectation of fattening stock, but by utilizing all possible means of get- |° ting rough feed the cattle can be taken through. Oats is so small a crop that none stables are unable to secure any for driving horses. Mrs. White, Charged With Bigamy, Says She Is the Niece of Speaker Henderson. Ppecial to the Post-Dispatch.

Magrane says he has obtained a divorce from his first wife, but she denies it. Mrs. White-Magrane says: “IT am the lawful wife of Thomas P.

NG Tame 3 res PARTITION OF THE FRANCIS FARM IS PRAYED FOR. A. M. TERRILL IS PLAINTIFF Farm Lies on River Des Peres and Be- longed to the Heirs of Sidney R. Francis. Suit for the partition of the Francis farm on the River Des Peres was brought Sat- urday noon by Arthur M. Terrill through his attorney, Alexander Young, against the other heirs of the late Sidney R. Francis, brother of David R. Francis. The farm contains 376 96-100 acres on the west bank of the River Des Peres. It ex- tends east from the river to Switzer Place. Its north and scuth boundaries are the Well Place and the Clark road. The farm originally was known as the Ben Clark farm. David R. Francis, ac- cording to the petition in the partition suit, Bought it on Feb. 29, 1884, from James Dutch: The ¢itle was vested in him for the use of himself and his brother, Sidney R. Francis. Hi terest was seven-eighths and that of his ther one-eighth. The heirs of Sidney R. Francis, named as defendants in the suit, are David R. Fran- cis and Thomas H. Francis, his. brothers; Mollie B. Ellerbe, his sister; Eliza R. Wade (nee Bovd), Sidney F. Boyd and Sophie F. Boyd, daughters of the deceased sister, Hattie Francis Boyd; Helen Terrill, Eula Lee Terrill, Johnnie C. Terrill and Ruth T. Rosson, daughters of& Patti Franeis Ter- ‘rill, a half sister of Sidney R. Francis. The plaintiff, Arthur M. Terrill, is also a of the half sister, Patti Francis Ter- rill. The late John B. Francis and his wife, Eliza C. Francis, father and mother of Sidney R. Francis, are ale. méntioned as heirs of Sidney R. Francis, but are not made parties to the suit. Both of them are dead and their shares in the property will go to their heirs. Sidney R. Francis died on Dec. 4, 1893. His brother, David R. Francis, was ap- pointed his executor and, the petition says, has paid all the debts of the estate and distributed among the heirs a large amount of the pronerty. The petition asks that Sidney R. Francis" one-eighth interest in the Francis farm be divided among the heirs. If this is impos- sible, it asks that the farm be sold and the money he divided proportionately among David R. Francis, who owns seven-eigtths of it in his own right, and the heirs of Sidney R. Francis, who owned the re- maining one-eighth. The share of each of the parties to the suit in the farm is given as follows in the petition: Arthur M. Terrill, the plain- tiff, 1-520; David R. Francis, 187-208 for himself and his children, and 1-208 as tfus- tee under his father’s will for Eliza R. Ware, Sidney F. Boyd and Sophie R. Boyd: Thomas H. Francis, 5-208 and also 1-208 through his father for himself and his children: Mollie F. Ellerbe, 5-208 and also 1-208 through her father for herself and her father for herself and her children; Kliza R. Ware, 5-624; Sidney F. Boyd, 5-624;; Sophie R. Boyd, 5-624: Helen Ter- rill, 1-529; Ruth T. Rosson, 1-520; Eula Lee Terrill, 1-520; and Johnnie C. Terill, 1-520. FOUR PERSONS SUBSIST ONE WEEK ON 50 CENTS.

TRAIN STRUCK MESSENGER BOY Johnnie Marnell’s Drink From Leaking Hose Was Nearly Fatal. Johnnie Marnell, 12 years old, 12 Western Union messenger boy, living with his par- ents at 49S€ Delmar avenue, had a narrow escape from death while watching the hig lumber yard fire in North St. Louls Friday afternoon. A hose from engine company No. 26, lying alongside the Merchants’ Terminal tracks, began to leak and Johnny knelt down by = tracks and began to drink from the ose. A sudden gush of water caused him to raise his head. Just at that instant the Granite City accommodation train passed. The pilot of the engine struck him on the left side of the head and hurled him from the track, the blow rendering him unconscious The firemen, who witnessed the accident, thought Johnnie had been killed and they rushed to him. He was ces in a fuel wagon and taken to the North tnd Itis- pensary, where Dr. Randall dressed the wound and said that while the boy had received a severe concussion of the brain, making his condition serious, he would probably recover. He was taken to the City hospital. HIS SCARS BETRAYED HIM. Alleged Naval Deserter Was Arrested in East St. Louis. Robert Williams was arrested Friday evening in East St. Louis at the instance of the Federal authorities as a deserter from the man-of-war Michigan. The arrest was made by Detective Keeley of St. Louis and Sergt Thomas Walsh of East St. Louis. Williams enlisted in the nav Feb. 6, 1901. It is charged that he eserted 18 days later. Recently the Federal authori- ties learned that he was in East St. Louis. He was found Friday evening painting a house at 710 North Seventh street. He at first denied his identity, but weak- ened when scars were found on h's knees which corresponded with scars mentioned in his description. | He will be taken to San Francisco and from there to Mi&re Island. MRS. HILL ADMITS SHOOTING. But She Is Not Sure That Her Bullet Hit Stimmell. Minerva Hill, who is wanted in Venice, Ill., for assault with intent to kill Gustave Stimmell, another shanty-boat dweller, is under arrest in St. Louis. Mrs. Hill is 33 years old, is as tanned as an Indian, and says that she was never Mrs. tion to the visitors by the ruler of the archi- pelago and his court, wit a guard of honor of 100 men, armed with Mauser rifles. The latter remained cutside the walled city. The Sultan reports that he expects the early subjugation of the rebellious Datos. This will close a comic Wer, in which only forty men have been killed during two months’ “‘fighting.'’ The trouble does not concern the Americans at all, being entire- ly confined to the Moros, over whom the Sultan will soon regain control. Adjutant-General Corbin presented a handsome binocular telescope to the Sul- tan, who immediately returned to his camp. Very Low Rates to Colorado and Utah Points Via Missouri Pacific Railway.

WILL SIMPLY LIVE APART Some Day She, Once May Yohe, Act- ress, May Become the Duchess of . Newcastle. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Lord Francis Hope and Lady Hope, once known as May Yohe, actress, signed an agreement of separa~- tion before Hope left here last April. No court proceedings were taken; it was sim- ply an agreement between them to. live apart, the signatures properly attested and the documents safely stowed away in the safe of Lawyer Emanuel M. Friend, in whose office the paper was drawn up and signed. Next day Lord Francis sailed for England with his elder brother, the Duke of New- castle, and Lady Francis went to Chicago to fill a professional engagement. Lady Hope may some day become the Duchéss of Newcastle, put she will not, according to her affidavit, attempt to join her husband's family circle. “according to the paper signed in my of- fice,” said Mr. Friend, “‘Lady Hope will receive no support from her husband. she wants him only to repay and the money she gave him from time to time and to this end he had promised to give® her in 1%u0 a sum of money. I cannot say, now, how much, but it is a big sum. it represents her loans to him, with interest. It is made payable in 1906, because Hope will then come into some money. I do not remember just how. As for the report that Lady Hope was paid by the Duke of New- castle to leave her husband I will say she never received a cent from the duke. Hope himself gave her nothing and Lady Hope can always support herself. If I live to see the year 196 I'll see she collects the money due her.”’ When, in December last, the Duke of Newcastle came here, it was said his visit was due entirely to church matters, in which he is greatly interested. But from the other side whispers came that. the duke hoped to coax away his younger brother and heir from the woman who had not ad- ded any luster to the titled English fam- ily, and who is now en route to Japan with Capt. Butnam Bradlee Strong, who recent- ly resigned from the regular army because of a scandal with her at San Francisco. Quality is what makes price.

The offices of the Knapp-Stout Lpmber Co. at 47 Brémen avenue, which have been vacant for some time, were looted by bur- giars sometime during the past week. The crime was discovered Friday, and Chief Desmond has detailed Detectives Harring- ton and Sullivan to investigate the case. Property valued at $900 is known to have been stolen, and an attempt was made to break into the big safes with which the of- fices are equipped. In the basement beneath the offices were stored 80 brass automatic sprinkling heads. These were valued at $80 and all are miss- ing. There was also stolen 26 brass globe vaives, valued at $60. The burgiars tried to force their entrance into the vaults, but their attempts were futile. The combination was broken from the door and a number of the bricks around the steel vaults were removed. But the strong vault resisted al] the efforts of the thieves and they were compelled to aban- don their task. No mother should overlook so good a skin cure as Greve's Ointment. Every home deeds it.

The club has been disintegrating all sea- son, acording to these, and gangrene is expected to set In shortly. It has been reported that several mem- bers of the team would leave during its present -“- Up here in Chicago it is difficult to dis- cover symptoms of the disorder that is eupposed to be afflicting the players. o all outward appearance everybody is on good terms with everybody else. Salaries are still high and according to Mr. Heil- bronner are being earned by the men to the satisfaction of the management. If there is trouble, surface indications are absolutely wanting. _Heilbronner went out to the American League ball game veer afternoon with several of the players. That does not look like a meeting against him. The only possible foundation for the ru- mor appears to be a report that Manager Heilbronner had refused to issue passes to several players, Capt. Donovan among the number. Mr. Heilbronner admitted that he had refused passes to several of.the men, but only after they had exceeded the number allowed them by the rules of the club. The players, to a man, he said, took it in good rt. qe and Heilbronner, with the Post- Dispatch representative, and several play- ers, spent the afternoon together, and no signs of anything but perfect amity be- tween the captain, players and the man- ager appeared. f Donovan can stand to be turned down on passes, the others surely can. Heilbronner stated that new other club in the League was as liberal in this matter us the St. Louis. Some of them, he stated, issue no passes to _— at all. “The club has a rule,’’ he added, ‘and the players understand it. eequentiy I o beyond it to favor them, and when I on't they always take it in good part.’’ Men Are in Excellent Health. The physical condition of the team is ex- cellent. Every member of the 15 players is in perfect shape, Murphy’s finger ex- cepted. ack O’Connor’s jam must have been harder even’ than the public supposed it to be. Murphy's digit, however, is expected to be in shape for Sunday's game. The team ought to be in good shape. The men rise early, eat heartily and retire at seasonable hours. Donovan's crew has the games at Pitts- burg in mind and is getting in shape for a hard struggle with the Pirates. The Smoky City men will meet the Car- dinals after the latter have come off a long railroad trip. That is not a great disadvantage. The time hunored myth that a night on the road caused the physical undoing of ~ great, husky, healthy ball player is ex- ploded. Robison says that’ his men never suffer from night —_— on the train. When the trip is a protracted one in hot weather; the men are apt to be listless at start; but in the majority of cases they are as fresh as if the night had been passed at home. The average ball player is not a high- strung Italian greyhound by any means. He is, for the most part, a hard-muscled strong-framed, tobacco-chewing man. His swaddling clothes are quite gone and his bottle of haif and half (condensed milk and water we believe to be the ingredients) has long been set aside. Cardinals Are Not Tenderfeet. Like Mr. —? Pirrip, he has been “brought up by hand"’ and received many knocks in the course of his rearing. Why a comfortable berth in a nwo car should incommode him so _ seriously as heretofore supposed is hard to perceive. If the Cardinals were a troupe of brake- beam artists traveling from town to town on the neutral side of a boxcar, not far from the grease boxes, one might reason- ab y expect them to be somewhat off color after a journey.

It is hoped none will be needed on any grounds after the Pittsburg series. The Chicago press appears to be conspir- ing in favor of St. Louis. All season the papers here have been publishing the Cardinals’ percentage as one game beter than it really is. On the arrival of the St. Louis contingent in the Windy City the Chicago press had the Cardinals planted safely in second peace. notwithstanding that Philadelphia. ‘y defeating Brooklyn, had passed the Mound City team’s percentage. It was gratifying to see the team in sec- ond place. but disheartening afterwards to discover that it was not deserved. It is also interesting to discover that Sud hoff’s name is “Joey.”’” A full account of how “Joey” pitched a good, though losing contest, against Chicago, may be bought for 1 cent, mailing extra. Jesse Burkett was on the safe side of 16 to 1 shot at Hawthorne, Friday afternoon. Tammany Chief carried his money and Jesse cashed with great gusto, having been rolled under in all the previous races. Harper Pitches Saturday’s Game. Pitcher Harper will be in the box Satur- day against Eason. Iiarper is fit as a fiddle, and as the team is not afflicted with lack of confidence when he is in the box, the Cardinals shoud win. Notwitstanding the victory of the Rem- nants Thursday, the Chicago fans think well of the Cardinals, and expect them tu land close to the pennant. After all there are some things about Chicago which are not purely egotistical. In the National League baseball situation they are hardly in a position to be that ow. This fact may possibly explain the asuificent tribute to the St. Louls team. Friday, the first off day the team has had this season in Chicago, was put in at the Hawthorne track by most of the play- ers, a few going to South Side Ball Park to witness the contest betweén Casey's Detroit Club and Comiskey’s men. The members of the former organization are putting up at the Cardinals’ hostelry and hobnob on familiar terms with the St. Louis men. Every evening a congregation of both teams’ players gathers in the corridor of the Leland House and swaps hyperboles and other imaginative figments, determine League baseball policies and tell how the world in general and the great national game in particular is going to the devil. Last night Mr. Casey had the floor. The subject was umpiring and the dis- cussion warm. Mr. Casey i8 a warm discusser—or dis- curser. He may even have strong claims to be- ne the same thing without the first sylla- e At all events, his remarks are pungent, pointed and well emphasized. Casey is not the same man who struck out on that inglorious occasion when the Windville nine went down to defeat. He has played with the Brooklyn Na- tional League aggregation, however, and is now gathering a fund of experience from the Ameérican. He ts a fit subject to quote.

LESSON NO. 2. It will take two or three lessons to ac- custom the pupil to the water. It is abso- lutely essential that she lose all fear for the time being, since as soon as she begins to learn the stroke, and when she is first left to herself in the water, fear is the only thing to be overcome. The Whole Secret. There is just one thing to be remembered in floating: To breathe naturally. That is the whole secret and the trick, if there is any. By simply breathing as she would nat- urally, the pupil may stay an hour above water—and for hours as soon as she is ac- customed to it. I am sure FE could stay above water all day long. People often ask me: ‘Well, why does anvbody ever drown, then?’’ Simply because they get frightened and do not breathe naturally. As soon as they a. DAL Sat it mt strike the water they gasp, breathe in quickly, expel the air, let the lungs fill with water, and sink. If they will breathe as they do by land they are as safe as they are on land. Impress this method of breathing upon the pupil first. Then have the pupil lie back upon the water, telling her at the same time two things: 1. That you are on no account going to loose your hold upon her. Pa That she need not worry eet. about her Position in Water. If this last injunction is not given every beginner will for some reason lower her chin and begin to watch her feet directly they leave the sand at the bottom. This fills‘the mouth with water at once. * The hand of the teacher should be placed gently upon the small of the pupil’s back, just to give confidence, since almost no support is afforded. he head is thrown back, the chin well up. Thus while the face is above water the rest of the body will be submerged. on~ NCLE SAM ASKS INFORKATION Supervising Architect Wants to Know About Site of the Government Building at the Fair. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Mr. J. Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the treas- ury department, addressed a letter today to Mr. Isaac Taylor of the board of archi- tects of the St. Louis World's’ Fair. The supervising architect asked that he be fur- nished definite information as soon as pos- sible as to the site which will be offered for the government building. He also asked for information as to the general pian and scope of the Fair and style of archi- tecture which is to be followed. To his letter the architect said that the time at the disposal of the government Was l.mited, and it was the desire to have in- formation at fand in time to place the building on the market early next spring. This is the first definite move on the part of the government toward the erection ot ita $250,000 building, as provided for in the World's Fair bill. DRIVING CLUB’S MATINEE.

The hands are held at the sides, mo- tionless or gently beating the water. At first, however, it is best to have the pupil confine her attention to her breath- nx and to getting used to the wonderful idea that she can stay above water. One of the pleasantest moments in learn- ing to swim is when one first realizes that she can stay on the surface of the water. There is great exhilaration in the first knowledge that you are actually floating and are in perfect security and perfectly at ease. Things to Remember. In teaching a pupil to float, these things should be remembered: 1. When her feet first leave the bottom, she should lie with her head toward the shore. 2. A spot In the water should be selected where the ground slopes gradually away from the shore. If the pupil finds herself sinking, she must not struggle. This will only hasten her sinking. She must lie still and depend upon her teacher to support her. 4. Cork belts, air jackets and all such contrivances should be avoided. Don’t Be Fiightened. As soon as the pupil has acquired confi- dence in this position the teacher’s hand may be removed from the back. All the pupil has to do !s simply to lie still and quite motionless, Remember, if an arm or a foot be lifted from the water the rest of the body will at once sink a 1 ittle. The body will sink a little any way as - ae soon as the support fs removed. This need not terrify the pupil; she must keep her mouth closed and when she .comes to the surface she must nowy expel the air and take in a fresh supply. On no account must she hurry, or move to allow herself to gasp. There is no need for any of these demon- strations, and they only put off the moment when she will be able to swim. A GOLD FIND IN MISSOURI Well Digger Near Waynesville Gets Ore Assaying $4 to the Ton and Some Even Richer. DIXON, Mo., Aug. 3.—Gold has been dis- covered in Pulaski County. So far the find is in small quantities, but sufficient to stimulate a thorough investigation. While digging a well on his farm, a few miles south of Waynesville, a few weeks ago, W. L. Hammock came across ‘some ore that excited his curiosity. He consulted persons at Waynesville, and they sent the ore to a 8t. Louis metallurgist. This expert has reported that the ore as- sayed gold to the amount of #4 per ton, with some copper. Since the first discovery Hammock has dug deeper, and uncovered ore which is rend much richer than the first. he people of Waynesville are convinced that the discovery is genuine.

It is, far and away, the best program that has been season, and will no doubt furnish a most ® ® © ® © ® ® enjoyable afternoon to those lovers of the, game who may attend. The first race ought to be a walkaway | for Lord Neville, although he has not ne the distance this year. He outclasses his field, and his six furlongs in 1:15 Thursday would indicate that he has sufficient speed, and there is hardly a doubt of his abliity to negotiate the route. The second has a rather poor lot, and as there is no class to them it Is hard to make a selection, but we think Valmar, with a good ride, will do the trick. Two Annies should be close vy * at the finish. There are only three horses entered in the third race, but they are the best of | ' j their age at the track and should furnish a splendid contest. Gallagher is a high-class animal, and we will pin our faith to him to show the way to the wire to Ethylene and Runnels. Fourth Race Is Hard to Pick. The fourth face is a handicap and as every horse in a handicap is supposed to. have an equal chance it does not seem easy to locate the winner. Gen. Magruder's last race was an ex- ceedingly bad one, and ne may not be in proper condition. Will Darden’s La De- sirous has plenty of speed, but we think that Vice Vance with 106 pounds up is the best. She ran a very good race with 114 up not very long ago and with eight pounds off today she should win. resented in St. Louis this) i | ATTRACTIVE Saturday’s Delmar Entries.

He believes that the ruthless stripping of our forests ig steadily increasing the area of arid lands in the West and provoking long periods of drouth over large sections of the country, like the spell which has for weeks past menaced the corn crop of so many states. Mr. Wilson is not alone in:this opinion. Scientific men who have made weather conditions a study have been telling us for many years that if.we kept on chopping down our trees faster than we grew new ones to take their places we would eventually change our climate for the worse. Forests are not only beautiful but useful. They do promote rainfall, or else all the expert authorities on the economy of nature are mistaken. We have been cutting down and con- suming or exporting them at the rate of 18 billions of cubic feet of lumber every year. And as surely as this rate of chopping is kept up, unbalanced by' systematic planting on reservations on a very large scale, our forests are doomed to disappear within the next 50 years. Experts sent out by the Agricultural Department are now in the West making on investigation of forest conditions in the rainless sections, where the crops are dying of thirst. In order to give the farmers a chance to gather grain, and city people a chance to live in summer, Congress may yet have to say “Stop!” to the commercial! destroyers of our forests, who are turning them into merchandise at the rate of over a billion dollars a year. ———_—_—___#¢¢. The arrest of ten old maids in New York, whose ages range from 40 to 62, for making too much noise in their merriment, indicates that the supposed solitary condition of the ancient maiden is not so solitary as it seems. The old maid of the new century is evidently a joyous person, and capable of having ‘a good time’ even in old age. Free from the in- numerable cares of maternity, and doubtless not unmated through any fault of her own, why should she not be happy? > oo __-__-__--—---—— “Cold-blooded Boer atrocities,’’ reported by the English, are filling Britain with horror. The fact recalls the story of Elandslaagte, where Boer prisoners were slaughtered while begging for their lives. A British soldier wrote: ‘““‘We bowled them cver, shrieking and yelling. It was most delectable pig-sticking for half an hour or £0, I essure you.” Asa great military authority once remarked, ‘‘War is sheol.” a —— -O-O That Indiana son who took bis mother, aged 98, to the poor- house, and left her there, will possibly have the nerve to ask the old lady to leave him the $30,000,000 which is about to come to her from the estate of her brother in Pennsylvania after years of litigation.

REMEMBERED THE BILL. A story illustrative of the money-making propensity shown by the average German when thrown in contract with Americans abroad is told on Assistant Secretary Perry Bartholow of the Louisiana Purchase Ex- position Co., who received his early educa- tion in Germany. It was in 1868, when Mr. art, where Perry attended school. One ay he wrote his name with a diamond ring on a window pane in the house where they lived. Twenty-six years later, soon after Mr. Bartholow had been appointed United States consul at Mayence, he vis- ited the scenes of his boyhood in Stutt- art. There he met the owner of the house n which he lived more than a quarter of a century before. After drinking a social glass, the landlord recal'ed to Mr. Bartholow’s mind the writ- ing on the window pane, which Perry had The landlord had treas- ured the incident up all those years with the intention of profiting thereby, if the op- portunity ever offered. Mr. Bartholow was almost taken off his feet when the German handed him a bill for 40 marks, which he sald covered the damage to the window ane. He explained that the name had een cut so deep in the glass that iH had sprung out of place. Mr. Bartholow re- fused point blank to pay the bill. When he returned to Mayence he found a letter from the landlord containing the bill. No attention was paid to it, but for some time the duns continued to be RHCHESS. EC BOOMING BUSINESS. Rumor flies with the wind in a city Inter- laced with telephones. An entereries East St. Louis Insurance agent, who desired to write some wind- Storm policies and knew of no other way to boom the business, told some friends that a cyclone had wrecked a large section of Chicago and killed 200 persons. One of the friends called up a railroad acquaintance and asked him if he knew anything about the disaster to Chicago. The railroad man in turn called up a friend who has relatives in Chicago and made a Similar inquiry. Soon the rumor jumped across the river and hundreds of St. Louis- ans were informed of it in various ways. The seekers after definite information appealed to the Post-Dispatch for some rea} news, and at least 100 inquiries were made in less than that number of minutes. Yet, it was all a hoax. A EASY AT ONE A. M. A good laugh !s going the rounds at the expense of.a well-known young man who has lost the habit of attending prayer- meeting every right in the week. This young man participated in a stag dinner at a fashionable cafe several even- ines ago. His companions were jolly good fellows, and the even'ng promised to be a glorious one. Merriment had reached its h'ght when Mr. Seibert’s version of moral- itv fell upon them like a thunderbolt. Pleading was in vain. The waiter was a stony-hearted creature. It was 1 o'clock, and the place must close The dispensing of “‘coolers’’ being rudely terminated, the friends parted, each circ'ing h's way home. One particular young man, however, boarded a west-bound Olive street car. He stood on the rear platform, and struck up an easv conversation with the conductor, whom he found to be a very entertaining fellow of the H'bernian type. He gave the conductor a $2 bill and received itn return a Silver dollar and ninety-five cents in change. : The next morning he had occasion to examine the dollar more closely. and found it to be a counterfeit of the rankest order. It was made of lead and Columbia’'s head was badly blurred. That evening our young man called on LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

In the August number of Cassell’s Little Folks (with which a new volume ts begun) Mr. John Lea has a delightful little poem entitled BOBBIE’S QUESTION. The scholars were standing in two little rows; The sun through the window shone bright, While soft little airs on the tips of their toes Came tripping with April delight. And Bobby looked up as they gently went by: They'd told him a tale of the spring, And -taiked of the clouds in the happy blue sky, And all that the summer would bring.

To empty their revolvers and avoid being hit was the desire common to both. They no longer vituperated each other. The revolvers spoke for them. Long after, Annixtes could recall this moment. For years he could with but little effort reconstrvct the scene—the densely packed crowd flattened against the sides of the barn, the festoons of lanterns, the mingled smell of evergreens, new wood, sachets. and powder smoke: the vague clamor of distress and terror that rose from the throng of guests, the squeal- Ing of the buckskin, the uneven explosions of the revolvers, the reverberation of trampling” hoofs, a brief glimpse of Harran Derrick’s exxcited face at the door of the harness room, and in the open space in the center of the floor, himself and De- laney, maneuvering swiftly in a cloud of smoke.

LOUIS BANK FLOATS GREAT Yr pe = eR ON I SO 8: te EN Oe SUM IN KANSAS CITY. MONEY WAS PRINTED THERE Fourth National Bank of St. Louis Performs a Financial Feat of Un- usual Proportions. The Fourth National Bank of St. Louis issued and put in circulation $950,000 of its notes in one day in Kansas City this week This is probably the first case in which practically the entire note issue ot a great bank has been circulated in such short time. The charter of the bank authorizes it to issue $1,000,000 in notes. Fifty thousand dollars of these was is- sued soon after authority was conferred. Recentiy it became necessary for the bank to issue the balance because the national banking laws do not permit an institution to hold its own notes as a reserve fund. Accordingly, the bank requested the treasury department at Washington (to print the notes for the big issue. The de- artment, after it had finished the engrav- ng, telegraphed for shipping instructions. lt was then that H. A. Forman, second vice-president and general manager of the bank, decided to float the entire issue in Kansas City. Money Was Sent to the West. A bank always desires to circulate its issue as far away frqm home as possible, so that the notes will not soon find their way back to its vaults. The wheat crop of the great section of agricultural country tributary to Kansas City is being moved and Kansas City banks are distributing great sums of money throughout that region. It was Mr. Forman’s desire to mingle the entire issue in this distribution and seatter it far and wide through the West. Insteud of ordering that the notes be shipped to St. Louis, he directed that they be expressed to Kansas City, thus saving $400 that a double shipment would have -ost. . Upon thelr arrival at Kansas City Tues- day they were taken to a printer under Mr. Forman’s direct.ons. The notes, six of which were on each sheet, were in denominations of $00 and $100, this being another precaution to keep the notes away from the home vaults, ex- rience having shown that banks hold arge bills longer than those of small de- nominations. Detectives Were on Guard. Fac-simile copies of the signatures of Mr. Forman and Cashier G. A. W. Augst were engraved on plates the size of the note sheets and were arranged to fit exactly the signature blanks. Then the work of printing the signatures and making real money out of the notes was begun.

The musicians stopped with a discord, and the middle of the crowded floor bared itself instantly. It was like sand blown from off a rock; the throng of guests, carried by an im- ulse that was not to be resisted, bore ck against the sides of the barn, over- turning chairs, tripping upon each other, falling down, scrambling to their feet again, re over one another, getting behind each other, diving under chairs. flattening themselves against the wal!l—a wold, clamoring pell-mell, blind. deaf, anic-stricken; a confused tangle of wav- mh garma torn muslin, crushed flowers, pale faces, tangled legs, that swept in all directions back from floor, leaving Annixter and Hilma alone, deserted, their arms about each other, face to face with Delaney, mad with alconol, bursting with remembered insult, bent on evil, reckless of results. 5 After the first scramble for safety, the crowd fell quiet for the fraction of an in- stant, glu to the walls, afraid to stir, struck dumb and motionless with surprise and terror, and in an instant’s silence that failowed Annixter, his eyes on Delaney, muttered rapidly to Hilma: “Get pack, get away to one side.

Never more alive to his surroundings, never more observant, he suddenly un- derstood. For the briefest lapse of time he and Hilma looked deep into each other's eyes and from that moment on Annixter knew that Hilma cared. The whole matter was brief as the snap- ping of a finger. Two words and a glance and all was done. But as though nothing had occurred Annixter pushed Hilma from him, repeat- t harshly: "Raet cack I tell you. Don’t you see he’s ta gun?

PICTURE MACHINES MUST GO “Biggest Railway Station in the World Not the Place for a Midway Plaisance.”’ Mixed music and moving pictures are to be tabooed at Union Station after Sept. }. Manager McChesney of the Terminal Railway Association has issued an order that all the nickel-in-the-slot musical con- - aa and picture machines must be re- ate. Both the music and the pictures belong to the Plow Candy Co., which has a con- tract for conducting a soda founiain and confectionery stcre in the etation. The mixed music and the mixed crowds it drew are said to have caused officlals of the railroads running into the station to complain. They further said they thought that the biggest railway station in the United States was not the proper place for con- ducting a midway plaisance. Manager McChesney of the Terminal A&- sociation had been of this opinion from the first, and when he heard from the railroad, ‘More Than 23,000 Arrests Made by officials he determined to act. In the beginning only one music box was placed in the station. That caused no com- laint. It was placed there to entertain ree who had hours to wait between trains. Later the number of boxes was increased to two, and then '‘to three and more. An “automatic band,’ a ‘“‘machine banjo,” “hells and chimes,” a ‘‘wonderful bird’’ and a few other contrivances were added to the collection. Often they all played at once and the moved from the station on or before that effect was not exactly harmonious. Train Caller Brown had difficulty mak- ing himself heard. Then the mixed music brought mixed crowds. Travelers did not patronize the midwav so much as small boys and girls from the city. They gathered there tn crowds during the everings and the Terminal attaches could not teli them to leave the station because they were putting their nickels in the siots, The picture machines, likewise, drew the mixed crowds and were ordered out along with the music boxes. Mr. Forman examined each of the sheets carefully to assure himseif that all the signatures had been placed in their prcper places. The sheets were next put in a cutting machine, from which the bills came forth real money of the regulation size. Mr. Forman and Teiler Bender, protected by several detectives, divided the notes among the banks of Kansas City, complet- ing the circulation of the issue. By this time most of the bills are doing money duty far away from the Kaw. JOHN RYAN, COME FORWARD Money Awaits You, but There Are Forty-Two of You, So Which Will It Be?

DAVID RANKINS TROUBLES GOT GOVERNMENT JOB AND COULDN’T LOSE IT. ’ Ran Off to Manila, Got Arrested, Was Shipwrecked, but Will Reach Home in Five Days From Frisco, Very Hungry. @pecial to the Post-Dispatch. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.—A curio has been landed here. He is a New Jerseyman who, besides being shipwrecked in the Pa- cific and starved on the Island of Guam, actually ran away from a government job. He is David Rankin of Camden. There is not so much wonder at his es- cape from death in the Pacific as there is that he fled to escape a place in the gov- ernment service he had worked hard to ob- tain, but was pursued and almost ‘forced to return to it. The job that ‘Rankin fled to escape was that of naval storekeeper at the United States naval station on the Island of Guam, which a naval! officer once described as being “‘halfway between hell and Yoko- hama.”’ ; Rankin got the job several months ago. He was given a fine sendoff when he left Camden. He duly chronicled his arrival in letters to his friends, but didn’t appear to be so enthusiastic over the reality as he had been over the imaginary beauties of Uncle Sam’s litt.e Isiand in the Pacific. His second letter expressed a desire to return home. Guam, he wrote, wasn't any- thing like it had been represented to be. His third fetter pleaded that influence be employed to get him out of place. He gaid he had tried to resign, but found out that under the law he couldn't. He could not even obtain a leave of ab- sence. As a matter of course he discov- ered that he could not do anything and he wished to be back in Jersey again. In one of his letters he expliatned that he had been told that he could live in Guam for little or no expense. This, he said, was true, but he would willing:y give @ month's salary for one good Jersey meal. He couldn’t buy anything, and the stuff he got to eat was fit, he declared, only for the Guamites. Presently news came that Rankin, fail- ing to resign or obtain a leave of absence, ad stowed himself away on the govern- ment transport Lawton, bound from Guam to Manila. When he arrived at Manila he Was.arrested, and it looked for a time as though he would either have to go to jail or return to Guam. ‘Finally, through the intervention of Capt. Thad F. Varney, an old friend, who is sta- toined in the Aryeh Campin as army paymas- ter, Rankin was released. So anxious was he to get back to Jersey that he did not wait for a government transport, but sailed for home in the iittle ship nnox. Rankin was in the wreck of the Lennox when about 200 miles from the Golden Gate. He and six other men decid- ed to reach California in a lifeboat, which they provisioned .or a month. The boat drifted around in the trackless waste for two days,when she was sighted by the gov- ernment tugboat Loomis, which had been sent out to look for the Lennox. Rankin and his companions were landed in safety. The first thing that Rankin di@ was to telegraph his friends at Camden that he would be home in five days and that he would be hungry. CITY NEWS.
