Government re- ports from there this morning show that the barometer is higher than vesterday morning, that the velocity of the wind is not so great and that the river is falling. “Reports from Mobile this morning show that there was nearly four inches of rain at Mobile yesterday. That is a terribly heavy downpour. But reports from Montgomerys Ala., show that there were two and one- half inches of rain at that place vesterday. “The barometer is lower there than at Mobile, and the indications are that Mont- gcomery is right in the path of the storm.

Since that young gentleman has been promoted to a uniform and the high de- gree of official mascot for the Cardinals, the latter have done nothing but experi ence defeat. Had Hahn and Tannehill! inflicted the de- feats of the past two games, since which contests Johnny has put a ban upon League Park, there might be no murmur. But Stimmel! and Hughes, both of whom should be as dough in the hands of the St. Louis batters! It is very suspicious. Whether it was the malign influence of Johnny or not, some baleful influence had the Cardinals in its thrall Thursday. It dragged upon the legs of the fielders, weighed down their batting arms and in- terfered with the happy action of the gray matter that is supposed to be lurking some- where in the interstices of the bony matrix of the Cardinals’ skulls. The influence, too, was maliciously play- ful. It allowed the St. Louis men time and again to get within sight of the score, then, when the hopes of the bleachers were at their highest, it would put a blight on the whole affair and end it in smoke. It has been hinted that the influencs was nothing more than the inability of the Car- dinals to play ball; but it may be more «haritable to slough the blame and lay fo the credit of Johnny. St. Louisans _ Were Impotent. There may have been games in which the St. Louis men showed-to worse advantage, but in few have they been as impotent. In geaven out of nine innings the locals had a reasonable chance to score, two of which only were accepted. j Burkett and OQom Paul Kruger of course were the responsible parties on these occa- sions—chiefiy Kruger, both times. In tne of, THE AB BY WONDE World’s Record Broken in the First Heat—Defeated Horse Distanced in the Second. “ Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—€resceus made 3 'himself king of kings on the trotting turf yesterday, but under conditions that are really to be regretted. It was all over in one heat—a furious, heart-breaking dash of one mile. Had he gone another mile at any- thing like the speed he developed at the gtart of the second heat the probabilities ' gre that at its conclusion that which is “mearly the two-minute horse would have | stood before thse judges. As it was Cresceus had to be content with a record of 2:03%, ‘the fastest mile ever trotted in a race, and two seconds better than ever done before, In fact, 2:03% is the record of The Ab- bot’s fancy mile with a runner, and only one second short of the Cresceus record, similarly paced. ' Twenty thousand persons were at Bright- n Beach to witness the great race. The orses trotted for the championsnip of the world and a purse of $12,000, of which Sivw went to the winner and $5000 to the loser. | second inning. Kruger, having doubled, Single. In the next inning Wallace, having been passed to first on four wide ones and stolen second afterwards, was brought ‘home by Kruger’s timely drive. | But the many other chances that were overlooked were shocking to baseball econ- omy. The Donovanites secured 11 hits, two more than the visitors, but could only count twice--that tells the story of the game. Powell was the hero of many chances. John is not supposed to be in the game to bat, according to the popular interpret4- tion of the uses of pitchers, at least, and it Was really too bad that on three occa- sions he should be asked to do something to save the country. But such was case. In the second. fourth and sixth i:- nings John was up with men on bases, and only once did he do anything that helped the game along. In the fourth he sacry ficed Schriver to third after the latter had doubled. In three other times at bat John smote the air and retired to tie bench. Powell had lots of force in his swipes: the grand stand trembled beneath the atmospheric shocks. But the ball might as well have passed behind him as in front for all the line Jack could get on it. Powell was rot alone in this, hovever, as Burkett, McGann, Kruger, Nichols and ninth ritory, ; t | back | distunce when Scriver also struck out aft eritical times. Once with a man on third and one on first Burkett got lost in the maze of slim Mr. Hughes’ curves. The enumeration of such instances, however, is monotonous, Burkett’s Playing Was Off Color. Burkett also did the field that smacked leagues. In the third he utterly failed on easy chance of Raymer’s, and in the while again poaching on Nichols’ ter- he let Childs’ fly get away from some performances, in of the backwoods afr him. Nichols, who always stands back when the king comes into his preserves, waiting for some crumb of glory to come his way, had to field the ball after the miss. The entire game was one long agony of Impotency on the part of the locals. If ‘he teams had been reversed, the situation | could have heen grasped. It was a tail- end game that the Cardinals put up. Powell was fairly effective in the box, too, It was pay day, and perhaps that had some influence on his work. In the third he suffered a notable relaxation, when, af- ter two men were out and a man on first, with two strikes on Green, he ltobbed one over that Johnny McLaughlin could have lammed out safely. Green did what Johnny would have done, only more so. If ahe right field bleachers had not opportunely interposed, the ball might have gone on down to South St, Lou- is. “wo men scored, and then Chance, en- couraged, came up and connected. W allace took a hand at fumbling, and Burkett muffed Raymer's fiy, while another Chica- gO man trotted around. The side might have been in yet had not Raymer sleepily allowed himself to be caught off first. McCormick drew a three-bagger in the next, and was brought home on an out- field fiv. That ended the scoring, but not the misery of the spectators. When the latter observed how the game was going they put in their time passing pungent remarks to the field, It only served to make matters worse. The score: CHICAGO. H ST. LOUIS. E!

Neither horse had a break or a skip, and both were moving like the breeze, Final Test Beyond The Abbot’s Powers. The half was made in 1:01%, and again there was a roar. Geers saw the time had arrived for him to make his bid. The Abbot was urged and responded in a manner worthy his breeding. He closed in on Cresceus on the far turn, hung on like a bulldog, and they sprang into the homestetch with The Abbot not more than half a length away. They passed the three-quarters in 1:32%, stetch, and both came whizzing down the home- stretch. The Abbot tried hard until the last six- teenth pole was reached. Then Geers re- sorted to the whip, about the tap of which his horse knows little. Nothing could bring another effort from he Abbot. He had done his best without punishment, and Geers saw it. Cresceus continued to skim along’ well in hand and further effort was useless. Ac- cordingly both stopped trying, and Cresceus passed under the wire in nothing more than a good, stiff jog, two lengths ahead of The Abbot.

They had an “off’’ day Thursday, but it was of a sort that is becoming too common. Friday's rest should help the team and bring back to it some of the life that has been wanting since the return of the crowd to St. Louis. Harper or Sudhoff will pitch Saturday and probably Waddell for Chicago. Wad- dell has not been easy for anybody this season and has been a puzzle to St. Louis- ans. It would be like the eccentric Rube to turn another trick on the locals and win the series, for Chicago. Heidrick was announced to perform Thursday. His name figured re- assuringly in the batting order and he went through preliminary practice, but his serv- ices stopped there. For the remainder of the game he occupied the coaching line, to the edification of the feminine contin- gent in the grandstand, Heidrick’s ‘continual absence from the game affects the working of the outfield considerably, as well as breaks up the bat- ting combination. I1f Burkett and Dono- van were to be as sensitive to injury there would be a remarkably bad state of affairs existing in the outfield. Fortunately, Donovan has been steadily in the game with the exception of one spell, while Burkett, the iron man, has hardly missed half a dozen games in as many years. Burkett may make errors—they all do— but taken all in all his steadiness and stick work atone for such mistakes and make him really the most valuable member of the Cardinals’ good trio. J. Emmett The bleachers were very heated over Bur- kett’s muff in the ninth. Some undistn- guishable person in the left-field stand shouted: “Say, Burkett, wait till after the ninth! I want to meet you outside!” The gentleman who made srobabiy took the first car home, and left early, at that. sill Thursday. Schriver had his inning He got his base three times, once on a double, and besides catching his position perfectly he threw to second in great form, nailing runner after runner of the Chi- cagos such as thought Bill a mark for stealing. If William could only run! St. Louis’ pennant chances go glimmering day by day. To maintain a .600 average the Cardinals have still to win 29 games, and can Only afford to lose 13. It is true St. Louts will meet many weak teams in the near future, but it has shown in its recent contests no inclination or abil- ity to take advantage of the circumstance. Monday it will line up against Pittsburg for the first of a series of four contests, and later it will be asked to meet the eastern teams away from home. The chances of averaging over two vic- tories to one defeat under the circum- Stances seem slight. Nothing but an un- expected decline in the work of the two leading teams can give St. Louts a chance. There is no real reason to anticipate such an event. Still, if Donovan ané@ his men can make a wholesale sweep of all the easy games that are to come they have a bare look-in. Mr. John Powell’s fines, as stated by the Post-Dispatch correspondence from Pitts- burg. were remitted. The fact was borne put spereday when Jack drew his salary in ut}, Powell’s correction, as imposed originally, was $100, and was plastered on him for up at Chicago League Park in uniform for three days. He had the management on the hip, however, as Sudhoff was the only available pitcher rt the time the team left Chicago, and Wee Willie had just been worked. Since that time Powell has not been up to form, though he won in Pittsburg ow- ing to heavy batting by the team. His game yesterday, as far as hits made off his delivery, was the best recently. SHAMROCK HULL LI — CUP CHALLENGER STRIKINGLY RESEMBLES COLUMBIA. a Historian of the United States Navy and Yachting Expert of the World and Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—As seen below the water line, Shamrock II does not look quite so dangerous. Shamrock II has been put in dry dock. But the feature of the hull, as a whole, that attracted most attention, was her similarity to Columbia. She is longer than Columbia, confessed- ly, and therefore has a longer overhang at each end and finer fore and aft lines. But if Mr. Watson had set out to copy the old defender’s model instead of trying to develop the model that would tow through a tank most easily, he could not have ar- rived nearer the lines of Old Faithful. Every man in the yard whose experience made his judgment valuable noticed the similarity. And this necessarily confirms the statements made yesterday and the day before, that Shamrock as seen above the water is the most dangerous looking 9%- footer ever built. As seen below the water line she does not look quite so dangerous. She is broad and shoal of draught in her hull proper, but she is a pot-bellied skimming dish nevertheless. Shamrock has set the most experienced the remark; = Menace Should Defeat Rochester, and Randazzo Looks to Hold Hcrse- shoe Tobacco Safe. SELECTIONS. First Race—Furo, Alp, Ellis.

Miss Rochester, “IKXinloch Park will not Jong be hampered by the opposition of the Delmar race track.’’ Mr. Phil Chew, secretary. of the Kinloch Jockey Club, made that statement Friday to the Post-Dispatch. “f aim convinced that Delmar Park’ will be closed within a short time. My reasons for thinking so are, that the state auditor and atturney-general are united in the opinion that the two tracks are owned in common; that the auditor, on the strength of this belief, has revoked the book-making licenses issued by his agent, Morton Jourdan, and because the sole pow- er of action in the case rests with the state auditor. “There is no way in which the matter can be brought into the courts, and the affair thus delayed indefinitely while the track could continue to operate. “l'nder the law, the state auditor is au- thority throughout. It was through his rep- resentative that the licenses were issued in full for the season. ‘He has power to disown the act of his agent, as unsanctioned. He has already revoked the licenses. There is only one thine for Delmar to do—close up. If it re- fuses to cbey the mandate of the auditor, the machinery of the state will be invoked to compe! it. ‘*! understand that a state agent has al- ready secured evidence of the operation of the bookmakers in defiance of the action of State Auditor Allen. In that case active measures may be looked for any time. Kinloch Park’s Interes® Explained. “Kinloch Park is not concerned in the prosecution further than to have called the attention of the proper authorities to the fact that two tracks were operating under one ownership for a longer period of rac- ing than the laws allow. Since that time every step taken has been by the state, Of course, we ure interested in the result, but further than to watch the progress of ac- tion in the matter we are not concerned. “The story of a mob of Pinkertons being brought in by Kinloch to ald in a raid con- templated on the books at Delmar, is en- tirely unfounded. It is true we have hired several Pinkertons, but not for that pur- ose, We brought them here solely to look after the safety of the pocketbooks of our patrons. ‘“Pickpockets are always plentiful around race tracks, and the engaging of detectives _ merely a precautionary measure against then. “Active interference, if it becomes neces- sary, will be through the sheriff of the county “Whether action in the matter is imme- diate or not, Kinloch will open its gates tomorrow and run on its schedule.’’ Mr. Chew was asked if herexpected the closing of Delmar Friday or Saturday. Mr. Chew really couldn’t say. One of the officers of the Delmar Jockey Club told the Post-Dispatch that he had received notice that the Heenses for the bookmakers had been revoked by the state auditor, but that the track and betting ring would continue in operation, nevertheless. He stated that the club was operating un- der the law and that the state would have to prove the identity of ownership of the hen Association and the Delmar Jockey Club, In spite of Mr. Chew's statement that no legal proceedings could prolong the life of the Delmar track meeting it is highly probable that the affair will not blow over without a seance in the courts. It Is life and death to both sides and neither will svecumb without a strugele. The Delmar people in all probability will take out a temporary injuae:ion restrain- ing the state auditor from action in the matter until ne has, established bis con- tention of the identiy of § @ two racirg plants. While the ownership In ¢q:estion it one of popular belief, the fac: of it mav be more difficult to prove than the Kile ch owners imagina. An effort is evidently being made to bring the city police department ttro the controversy, as Detective Mike WKel'y was at the track ‘Thursday an.1 made sevvral bets for the purpose of securnzg evidence against the bookmakers. According LO ree ports from Jefferson City Awditor Allen has turned the whole matter over to the attorney general and the sreat dift:eulty the chief law officer of the stnte Lag to face is that the Delmar treck its being worked under the provisions of the breed- ers’ law. There is naturally a bitter feeling against the Kinloch people at Delmar| The latter people say that the Kinloch authorities want the Delmar track closed at any hazard so that Kinloch may have an un- opposed meeting of 25 days. Delmar is on the defensive, so that the next move in the case must come fruit the attornev-general. If he attempts to use the criminal courts in his efforts to close Delmar an tnjunction probably will be asked of the circuit court to restrain him. There was one reversal of form at Del- mar Thursday. It was in the fourth race, where Miss Golightly could do no better than fourth. On Monday, Aug. 12, she car- ried 110 pounds and was only beaten on the post a head by Tenny Belle in 1:15.

DAVIS DEFEATED WARD ST. LOUISAN WON THREE SETS OUT OF FOUR AT TENNIS. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 16.—Dwight Davis of St. Louis again won a tennis victory vesterday, defeating his erstwhile partner in the doubles, Holcomb Ward, three sets to one. The struggle was a close one, after the first set, In which Davis was very wild, and lost, 1—6. He won the next three, how- ever, by fast playing. The winner yesterday will meet Wright in a contest for representation in the fina:s. Wright and Davis are a round behind the »ther players because of their participation in the doubles on the opening day of the tourney. Davis will be one of the members of the strong team that will represent this coun- try abroad next season, it is announced, Davis and Ward will play at Wimbledon next year, and try to wipe their defeat of this year by the Doherty brothers in the doubles.

Men, women and children waved hats and handkerchiefs in the air. every one congratulated his or her neigh- bor, and 20,000 people all began talking and gesticulating at once. The fastest previous heat in a race was the 2:3 of Cresceus at Detroit four weeks ago, when he beat Charley Herr. After the first heat there was little or no betting. Pools were sold at $100 for Cres- ceus and $20 for The Abbot, but it was so generally conceded that the stallion would win that those still loyal to the gelding were soon weeded out, Second Heat Was a Fizzle. In the second heat the start was as good as in the first, and again Cresceus showed his teeth, shook his head and tiptoed for the jead. The Abbot, who appeared none too fresh after that bruising mile, kept up with ‘him, and it looked as if Geers would go out from the start and fight every inch of the way. But it was not to be. The Abbot suddenly bobbed his head, the overcheck of his bridle snapped and he broke into @ run. Geers pulled him up, but he continued to gallop, and it was necessary to bring him also to a walk.

Dion suffered from concussion of the brain and never regained consciouness after the sudden termination of the contest. Cornelius Desmond, manager of the club, the referee and seconds are under arrest. ‘The referee of the fight was William Kel- eher of Lowell. Martin and Joe Flaherty, the well-known boxers, were Dion's sec- ends; Billy Gardiner, Tommy Tully and Peter Allen acting in a similar capacity for Armstrong. Armstrong is also under arrest.

If the French have they have an invisible en- gine of wer of this description, it will indeed revolutionize naval warfare. The battleship is rendered helpless, and no cruiser, however swift, can long escape the little monster. Wen a small boat, 60 or 70 feet long, can move under water and strike below the water line without warning, the iron- clad becomes no better than the once formidable three- deckers of Nelson’s day. Naval architects, however, will not abandon their pres- ent plans on mere report which may refiect the French- men’s hope rather than their achievements. The French have always excelled in physics and the mathematical and mechanical sciences, and it may be that they are on the right track of invention in this respect, but naval pro- grams will not be altered until more authentic information is at hand. tS Lr i The St. Louis banks are loaning more money on call than ever before in their history. St. Louis business is flourishing just as it ought to flourish in a World’s Fair city. THE FRANCHISE TAX MOUSE. With a law on the statute book expressly providing for the taxation of franchises the State Board of Equalization an- nounces a total increase in the assessment of franchise-hold- ing corporations of $9,312,986. The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse. The franchise tax law was passed last winter after a cam- paign of five years for franchise taxation in which it was shown that millions of dollars’ worth of property, represent- ing high earning capacity, escaped taxation. The Post-Dis- patch inaugurated the campaign and led it to success. It Was suppurted by press and people. Both of the great polit- ical parties in their platforms recognized the just demands of the people for the equalization of tax, burdens and pledged their representatives to a franchise tax law. Gov. Dockery in his messages insisted on the adoption of a franchise tax law. He framed the law passed by the legis- lature and guaranteed its efficiency. The law seems to be efficient. assessed the franchises of steam and street railways, bridges and telegraph lines, but the assessment value was ridiculous- ly low. What is the matter with Gov. Dockery and his associates on the board? When the demand for franchise taxation was first made it was estimated that $400,000,000 of franchise property escaped taxation. That estimate was based on a careful computation of the actual values of franchise property. In St. Louis alone there wos a difference of $29,000,000 between the assessed val- ue of street railroads and their actual value. But all the franchise property that Gov. Dockery and his associates on the Board of Equalization could find in the whole State of Missouri amounted to only $25,193,031.64. Through whose glasses did the governor and his fellow state officers look for franchise values? The assessment of the United Railways of St. Louis, cov- ering all the consolidated property, was increased by }3509,000-- a bagatelle, not enough to cover the actual increase in value of its tangible property. 3 The Buard of Equalization had a mandate from the people to equalize the tax burdens by assessing franchises which have escaped taxation, at a just value. How can its members explain to the people their failure to obey that mandate? How can Gov. Dockery explain his failure to apply the law which he himself framed and guaranteed to be efficient? How can it be explained except on the ground that the in- fluence of tax-dodging corporations is more potent at the state capital than the mandate of the people? >>> Cereals and flour are to be admitted to China free of duty, but this will perhaps not be the case later, ag the tariff may not produce sufficient revenue. As American tariff duties are exorbitant, we cannot in justice complain of Chi- nese or other foreign tariffs. With an enormous indemnity to pay, there is good reason for heavy duties in China. Congressinan Tawney says: ‘Increase of tariff duties has always been followed by improved business conditions.”’ Mr. Tawney’s language evidently implies that an increase of tariff duties would further improve business conditions. If this is true, it may be our plain duty to add to the duties. A good deal of the business depression in Great Britain is the result of the Boer war.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. nee compulsory arbitration in itself is concerned, it is ccmansaty wanumed that compulsion in the settlement of labor wars is impossible. How can a body of men be compelled to work, it is asked? Or how can a man be compelled to carry on his business? These Guestions seem difficult to wrestle with, yet do they really present obstacles which render compulsory arbitra- tion impossible? It is Somewhat enlightening to discover that the New Zealand law, a5 4 matter of fact, does not contemplate com- ulsion in any such form. When the arbitration courts in New eoatnat have made their decision, no attempt is made actually to compel workmen to go to work or to compel a manufacturer to start up his works. The men can remain idle as long as they l and the employer can keep his plant idle if he chooses, but — hen they do go back to work, or when hat w the red up. the resumption of work must be on the basis laid down by the courts.

Three pence is the fare.’’ Whereupon the corpulent individual said some words under his breath and got out of the vehicle. “Yes, suid the deaf man, gladly, address- ing the other passengers, “that’s the tenth man within an hour that’s told me it was a hot day.’’—Tit-Bits. PANAMAS SOLD FOR $1.05. A large quantity of Panama hats was sold at the quartermaster’s depot, at Wash- ington, one day this week, to army officers on duty here who chose to apply for them under the invitation conveyed in a circular sent out from the quartermaster-general's office. The hats. probably worth $10 or $12 at market prices, were rapidly disposed of at $1.05 each. The secretary interposed offi- clal objection, however, to the importation of an additional lot of 500 hats for the pur- pose of further sale to army officers. Hean- ticipated that hat manufacturers and deal- ers in this country would criticise the prac- tice of bringing valuable hats into the country and selling them at a price which does not take into consideration the cus- toms duties.

You see so much of them in such a brief time.’’—Boston Journal. CITY TAXES. It is said there are towns in Germany which are free from taxation by reason of forest profits—forests owned by the city corporations. American cities daren't own anvthing. When the writer o ened a cam- paign for small parks in Philadelphia, the plan was to take a large tract, make a small park of a portion, and then sell the adjacent properties at improved figures to uy more plots with. But the law depart- ment decided that the city could not enter into real estate operations. Indeed, it is doubtful whether any city in America can do anything long but raise taxes on rea! estate. Small towns can do better than larger ones. When they grow toa size that “nobody knows who's who,” except as de- signing persons tell them, ignorance, or even corruption, rules. Imagine any of our large cities running a forest for revenue!— Meehan’s Monthly. A FRAUD. “Yes, Uttle boy, I am a real professor.”’ “Aw, say, chase yourself.

All is but lip wisdom which wants experience. PHILIP SIDNEY. ® @ © ® ® © © © @ 9 FPHHTPHHSOH HSH HOOOD How It Aids Progress |}OBODY knows when the windmill was invented. It it rumored the old Romans knew of its use, and there is another story that the Saracens introduced it into Europe. But while the early history of the windmill is Shrouded in uncertainty, we do know that it came to play so important a part in tne little kingdom of Hollanu as to be con- sidered a national necessity in keeping that courageous nation out of the hands of the sea, In Holland windmills are used to get rid of the water; in America they are employed to produce it. Out on the great plains in Kansas, Dakota, Hlowa and the adjoining States, an ideal place for windmilis, where the country lies flat and the wind sweeps uninterrupted for miles, the landscape is fairly dotted with them. An estimate has recently been made of the capacity of the windmill running ten hours a day for six months. It was found that an average whecl, 12 feet in diameter, with the wind blowing 16 miles an hour, is capable of pumping 1920 gallons an hour, 19,200 gallons in a day of ten hours, 576,000 gallons each month and 3,456,000 gallons in six months. is difficult to appreciate the signifi- cance of this work and the value of the windmill as a factor in the development of the country. It means, in the first place, an abundance of water for stock and irri- gating purposes, and water always means a great increase in the productiveness of the land. This is followed by an increase in values and the possibilities of larger population, bigger crops and better prices and more business and increased earnings for the transportation lines. This is what the windmills are helping to do in Ameri- ca. alla dicalin Dalaba ein bie 'Gins oy? WHY?

If you ran into me, don’t mention it.’ But T have a man that is a daisy. He is our agent in a northern town, and for some reason or other we failed to remit to him last month.

Tho remarkable identity of the ll-year periods of the aurora and sunspots; the annual, monthly and daily variations in the num- ber and intensity of the auroral displays following closely the variations In the al- tion of the sun and the intensity of the auroral light may all be much more fat- ct tina explained by this theory than perhaps by any other. .

Dyke had stood between cab | and tender throughout all the duel, exposed, | reckless, thinking only of attack and not of defense, and a bullet from one of the pis- tols had grazed his hip. How serious was | the wound he did not know, but he had no thought of giving up. To go on to Bonneville meant certain death. Before, as well as behind him, the roads were now blocked. Once more he thought of the mountains. He resolved to abandon the engine and make another final In a short time the posse swept into the | open space around the division house. The |} two Ffortuguese were still there, wide-eyed, lerribly excited. _ Yes, yes, Dyke had been there not half ‘an hour since, had held them up, taken a | horse and galloped to the northeast, to- | ward the foothills’ at the headwaters of Broderson creek. On again, at full gallop, through the young wheat, trampling it under the fly- ing hoofs. “Look! Look! There he is! Quick, there he goes!”’ High on the bare slope of the nearest hill, all the posse, looking in the direc- | tion of Delaney’s gesture, saw the figure of a horseman emerge from an arroyo, filled with chaparral, and struggle at a laboring gallop straight up the slupe. | Suddenly, every member of the party shouted aloud. The horse had fallen, pitch- ing the rider from the saddle. The man /rose to his feet, caught at the bridle, missed it and the horse dashed on alone. The man, pausing for a second, looked around, saw the chase drawing near, then, mented, “but it doesn’t show . sense.’ Yet. however Dyke might throw clutches and fettering embraces t circled him, however he might distin « and scatter the band of foe that heared themselves upon him, however he migh gain one instant of comparative liberty, someone of his assailants always hung, doggedly, blindly to an arm, a leg or a foot, and the others, drawing a seeond’s breath, closed in again, implaca Fas uncon- querabiy. ferocious, like houn¢ “upon a wolf, tee, Bs At length two of the men man “¢ _ ae | bring Dyke's wrists close enough toget i to allow the sheriff to snap the ha — on.

Italian Catholics Worship at a Shrine Constructed for the Day at 710 Wash Street. ‘Har ord Crawford and Dr. J. B. Young | Are Delegates to the Great Con- vention in London. Emulating a religious custom prevalent from time immemorial in their mother country, the men and women of “Little Ita- ly’’ erected a shrine Friday on the sec- ond. floor of 710 Wash street to celebrate the feast of the assumption, one of the most important and impressive in the Cath- Olic calendar. The worshippers numbered Several thousand. In all the Catholic churches of the world special devotions, commemorating the as- cension of the Virgin Mary imto heaven, were offered and the duty of attending mass was imposed on every Catholic. In no edifice was the scene more inspir- ing than at the altar built by the Italian faithful. The altar was a simple affair, constructed under the direction of Mrs. Frank Palmis- cino of 710 Wash street. The lower part was made of wooden boxes and across thane were nailed several boards. The wood was draped in white cloth. Surmounting the altar itself, which consisted of a heavy plece of lumber, was a picture of the Vir- gin. Candles were placed at intervals of two’ or three feet. A vase containing flow- ers rested on the side of the altar. In every detail the shrine was correct During the day Father Spicardi, pastor of the Italian church at Nineteenth and Mor- gan streets, called on the communicants and recited prayers. “= “We build an altar every year, said Mrs, Palmiscino to the Post-Dispatch, “but, of course, we are not able to put up a very fine one. Next year we will try to do bet- ter, ‘In this way we bring together all our friends and those others who care to come, The indulgence granted for worshipping at our shrine are just as great as those re ceived by Catholics in going to a regular church. “In Italy it was not unusual to see these altars in many places. I do not think there is any other erected in St. Louis, though there is more than one Italian colony here.” Immediately after the conclusion of the services Thursday night the altar was dis- mantled and the material loaned to build it was returned to the various owners, THE SMALLEST POSTOFFICE.

Sherwood of Galveston Tex., found her husband in St. Louis and was reunited to him Thursday night. The Sherwoods are prominent tn Galves- ton, and before the great storm were wealthy, In that disaster they lost all their property and nearly all their close friends. A month ago Mr. Sherwood left home and for a month his wife heard nothing from him. When he went away she thought he was going to Buffalo, N. Y. Last Sunday a friend took her a copy of the Post-Dispatch in which she read that R. P. Sherwood, supposed to be from Gal- veston, Tex., was in the City Hospital here. She immediately telegraphed Supt. Nie- tert of the hospital, directing that every at- tention be shown her husband and no ex- pense spared. She said she would come at once, She arrived Thursday night. Mr. Sherwood was taken to the hospital two weeks ago from a train at Union Sta- tion. He was said to be suffering from heat prostration. He talked of nothing but the Galveston storm. He had $130 on his person and wore val- uable jewelry. , Mrs. Sherwood says that her husband is a theatrical manager. He is still in a seri- ous condition, and has been removed to the St. Louis Asylum. Excursion to Washington, Ind., And intermediate stationg via B. & O. 38.- W., Sunday, Aug. 18.
